Tv only has one audio in and one video in, can I hook the dvd player to this tv not having a left and right audio in's? I have a smaller tv with the 3 inputs, but if I can I'd like to use to other one.

Any help would be appreciated.

What tv is it (brand and model number)? What type of audio and video inputs does it have?

Just has the cable screw on connection in the back, and just a single rca audio, and single video rca in the front. Not sure how old it is, but it's atleast 6....

I solved the problem, using a smaller flat screen with s-video and multiple other plugs.

The "cable screw on connection" is an F-connector for RF audio/video. If you want to use the larger screen then you can get an RF modulator from Wal-Mart. On the other hand, it is the worst connection available as far as quality is concerned.

Yeah, I just put that TV in the junk room and using a little flat screen for now. It has all the plugs I need. Going looking for a reciever today. I have done some research, and gonna look for a 5.1 reciever. Should be plenty for me if I can find one near 100w per, and a sub out. That oughta keep me busy for a while.

Found a 5.1 reciever, just wondering if I use only 2 of the channels for now until I can decide on the other speakers.....will that hurt anything?....or raise the output to the 2 speakers, since the others aren't used?

Won't hurt anything. The amps are independent but you will gain about 10% extra wattage if you turn the volume to full blast.
