I pride myself on being able to keep all of my equipment working together. I have a Procenter center speaker from 2013, a Yamaha receiver from 2007, a Denon DVD player from 2000, ADS speakers and a B&O turntable from 1989, a VCR from 1985 and a Quadraflex cassette deck from who knows when...

Thanks for your suggestion, Wayne. I thought I looked at that already, but maybe not. I did get sound through the receiver last night without doing anything special, but there's a story behind that. After talking to my son, it's also possible that when he turns off the receiver his headphones...
I would like to connect my kids' computer to a home theater system which is already set up to handle 3 game systems and a DVD player. I have ordered parts and installed some, but I need a sanity check to find out if I'm trying to do something that can't be done. I have a Turtle Beach Riviera...
