First off, please don't laugh.
I am on a low fixed income (SS Retired). I'm 66 years old and I can no longer hear the high sounds but would like to enjoy (what I can hear) the 7.1 surrond experiance. My living room is only 10' by 15'. The TV is on the 15' wall.
I have an old set of Bose Acoustimass 7s and 4 Bose 100 speakets.
Although not the greatest, I have used them with my old (20 year old Yamaha DSP-A970) surrond system.
I now have a new 47" HDTV (Toshiba 47L6200U) and I would like to reuse them (Lack of money is the driving factor).
Walmart has a Sony STR-DH520 (7.1 surrond) on sale for $199.00. I an thinking of getting it.
Question(s):
I would like to use an HDMI cable to connect the HDTV to the new amp, any problems there?
How should I hookup the Acoustimass 7 speakers to the receiver? Just as L/R/C and turn off the sub???
I would like to use the 4 Bose 100 speakers for the surrond and back speakers.
Or should I just live with the old Yamaha amp? (It doesn't have any HDMI connections, just RCA).
Any kind help would be welcome.
