From the question it sounds like you would like to hook multiple components to one surround system. For that you would need an A/V selector ($20 - $40).
---- Setting up a surround system using an A/V selector with multiple components (RCA)
1.) Connect all components to the selectors inputs. This requires RCA (Yellow/Red/White) cables from each of the devices. Connecting the video and audio into the ports that you would like (i.e. 1,2,3,4).
2.) Find the output from the selector. Take the Video (Yellow) and connect it from the output on the selector to the input on the television/monitor. Then attach the audio (Red/White) from the selector into the surround system.
3.) To use a device, turn it on and then select it's appropriate number on the selector and it will switch the audio/video to the TV and sound system.
This same setup will work for any type of audio/video hookups granted the selector must be changed to support the types (i.e. Component, S-Video, VGA, HDMI)
I believe it's surround sound, but to be sure call Sherwood and ask them about the 4105.
Is it a Bose Acoustimass system? If so, buy at least 90-100 watts per channel receiver. Think if you also need a zone 2 for outdoor speakers, so then you can power both rooms independently. You wont be able to use a Bose Companion computer speaker system with a surround receiver.
Virtual surround uses 2 speakers to simulate the effect of a wider stereo image and surround speakers using digital processing. It is not as effective as real surround sound, which uses real rear and surround speakers.
Regular passive (non-amplified) speakers will need to be connected to a power amp (an old stereo receiver can do this). Connect the line out of the computer to the aux or tape in of the receiver, and then connect speaker cables from the receiver to each of the speakers.
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).
The Yamaha R-S700 is their best stereo receiver with Sirius satellite capability. It is not a surround receiver.
If the receiver is just stereo, not surround sound, you will not be able to create a surround sound (front, centre, sub, surround) setup.
The KLV32ex400 has no surround output capability. The only audio output is a stereo 1/8" headphone jack. If you are using a Blu-Ray or HD cable or satellite receiver, you can run an optical or coaxial digital cable from those directly to the receiver for surround sound.Read more: Need_to_connect_Sony_Bravia_klv32ex400_which_has_no_clear_audio-out_port_to_5.1_channel_surround_without_hdmi_so_where_do_you_connect_the_5_cables_from_the_surround_sound_system_to_the_HDTV
No, you do not need a professional to install stereo equipments. This is because stereos installation is not very hard. You will require some speaker wires and hook them all up to a receiver. The receiver will then need an audio input from a source.

It's could be because the DVD player is set to play 5.1 surround but you do not have a surround system. Go to your DVD's audio setting and change it from 5.1 to normal stereo. The problem is most likely in your surround receiver. As most DVD player's don't have surround output anymore, your receiver is where you set your speaker configuration. If you don't have a center channel speaker (the one above or below the screen), you must set your receiver to mix the dialogue of the movie to the left and right speakers. How you do this is described in the manual for your surround receiver. When playing back movies, you should select the stereo 2-channel mix from the options or setup screen.
You will need a receiver with 5.1 RCA outputs. Purchase 3 adapters, 1/8" stereo femal to 2 RCA. You can then split out the front, center, sub and rear channels and send them to the speakers.
Yes you can provided that you have a additional sound system like a stereo receiver for the sound, if you a cable box/satellite receiver of and HDTV Receiver with either a HDMI or DVI port, (you'll need a converter cable for HDMI)
Auxiliary inputs to a receiver are always stereo. If you have a 5-channel analog signal (from a computer or other multi-channel device), you will need a receiver with a 5.1 analog input. This has 5 separate RCA inputs for left, right, center, sub, and the two surround speakers. An analog output from a VHS-Hi Fi VCR can be input into the stereo aux inputs of a receiver and decoded to Dolby Surround, but this format is actually only 3 discrete channels, left, right, and surround. It has no separate information for the sub or the center channel, and has a limited bandwidth on the surround channel.

I think it means you can buy a satellite radio receiver, and your stereo will accept it's input without modification.
