Welcome to the forum Chris.

It’s the receiver inputs that are missing Joe, which brings up the question: “what inputs does your receiver have, and what is the make and model of your receiver?” Even my pretty old receiver has two optical and one coax input.

Don’t confuse component connections with anything audio. Component connections are strictly for video. If your receiver does not have any type of digital, audio input, it might have analog 5.1 inputs. If so there are products that will convert the single digital signal to multiple analog ones. If your receiver has neither digital audio inputs nor 5.1 analog ones, then it is not a surround system in today’s sense, but probably an older stereo receiver.
