I figure I'm allowed one stupid question per month, so here's my December question.
-------------
Have DISH Network with their receiver and a decent HDTV. Been using just the TV speakers, which are okay, but I could do a lot better.
Had two DVD players, but got rid of them. I was an early adopter, so they dated back to the late '90s and didn't have HDMI outputs.
Looking at a new Blu-Ray player and a sound system to go with it.
Question is how do I hook things up? Is there an output from the DISH receiver? I'm also assuming there will be an output from the Blu-Ray player. But will the sound system have a way to switch between DISH and Blu-Ray? Haven't done something like this for many years so a bit out of touch.
Any advice, kind of like "Sound System 101" would really be helpful.
Done for now, next stupid question will be on hold until January
