At the rear of the receiver there is a single RCA jack (phono socket) that is marked "audio out" and "sub-woofer". This is a mono feed that can be connected to a powered sub bass unit. It will not drive an un-powered bass speaker that does not have an internal amplifier. If the bass speaker is not powered, the audio out from the receiver can be taken to a single channel of another amplifier and the bass speaker then connected to the speaker output of the amplifier.
No, you will need a surround sound receiver or amplifier with 5 speakers and a subwoofer to hear surround sound.
A Sony PlayStation 2 and a dish receiver are two video and audio sources, and cannot be directly connected to each other. You can plug both into a television that has multiple video and audio inputs, or connect them to a home theater receiver, and then connect that to your TV.
The Sony STR DH100 is the cheapest receiver in its entire class but offers an alternative to high price surround system.
The STR-212 is a stereo receiver made by Sony in the late 80's and early 90's. It is not a home theater receiver, as it has no video switching capability, no digital inputs/outputs and only supports stereo speakers (2 pairs, usually set up in 2 different rooms).
Hi, That's your speaker protector system. When something's not right (usually a shorted speaker wire) or the speaker itself is defective, it senses it and stops the receiver from applying power to the speakers to keep it from burning out the power amplifiers. Hope that helps, Cubby FROM DarthMurdicide: The absolute easiest way to find out if it is a wiring problem without having to disconnect and reconnect wiring on the backs of the speakers or the receiver is to use the TEST TONE function to test the individual speakers. It is a tone that to me is not stressful to the speakers, so I put the volume to MAX for the test and check each individual speaker. If it is a wiring problem, when you get to the speaker that is either blown or the wiring is grounded out somewhere (either at the back of the speaker or the back of the receiver, or somewhere in between), the PROTECTOR message will light up. I verified this procedure last night. I did the TEST TONE's for each individual speaker on MAX volume, and sure enough when I got to the surrond back left speaker, the PROTECTOR mesage came on. I pulled the in-wall speaker out, and sure enough the tweeter wiring terminal had been bent back during installation and was touching the crossover cap, causing a short. I bent it back, and voila, no more PROTECTOR message.
You just can not, Inspire 5.1 is an very old speaker even without Optical port, Buy a 5.1 receiver, 1 small subwoofer, use 5 speakers as fronts, rears and center.
If it only has one subwoofer output, purchase a RCA splitter to allow you to connect 2 subwoofers.
If your speakers do not have an amplifier (excluding the subwoofer, which almost always has one), you will need a surround amplifier to power them. The DVD player connects to this receiver.
You need a receiver with an HDMI output, such as the Sony STRD series of receivers. Your '5.1 Surround System' sounds either like a surround speaker set with no amplifier, or a system designed for computers. The Sony receivers will amplify passive (non-powered) speakers, but the subwoofer will need to be powered. You will then need to purchase a DVD or Blu-Ray player with an HDMI output. Alternately, you can purchase a Blu-Ray Home Theatre system, which includes the BluRay player and receiver (1 unit), and matching speakers. The Sony BDVE systems are a good place to start.

Yes, You can it doesnt matter what brand the speakers are as long as the reciever specs and the speaker wattage is around the same. Oh and i just hooked up the pioneer vsx 1021 to the sony w-3000 and it seems to do alright.( not an authority on home theater systems)
You need a series of wires and a television capable of surround sound. You can purchase a box that has outputs for forward/rear/side speakers that you connect wires to the speakers for. Sony is your best option--inexpensive and durable. I have the 6 speaker subwoofer surround.
Which is the best sony wireless subwoofer?

A Sony BoomBox is a speaker dock that one can connect to iPod, iPhone or MP3 Player. There is the in-built sound system that comes with Sony BoomBox. One of the features is that of remote control.
The SONY SA-VS350H has seven speakers (two floor-standing front satellites, two rear speakers, one center speaker and a slim 150W subwoofer).That seems to be the closest to eight we find.
The Sony Receiver 1992 isconsiderably better than any low end Denon Receiver.
