Hi folks,
I'd be VERY grateful for some basic help on this one. I know next to 'nowt about home cinema, except that I'd like it.
I've just bought a 46" Samsung LE46C580 LCD TV and Samsung BD-C6500 Bluray player. Pretty much as expected the sound out of the TV is dire, so I need to beef it up. For the record I also have Virgin v+ HD box.
Now, as I said above, I know nothing about the kit or what I need.....so here goes with some probably stupid questions....
On the back of the Bluray player is a set of phonoplug connections which correspond with Front right, left rear, middle etc..etc... - so, does this player have an amp built into it so I can just (somehow) connect the necessary speakers into these phonoplugs?
If not, I assume I need an amp plus speakers?
I'll struggle with 5.1 as I can't get rear speakers into any worthwhile position so 2.1 or even 3.1 would do - but I want them by Samsung.
If necessary I could return the Bluray player to Amazon and swap for something else, as I'm already sick of being unable to get the wireless side of things to work.
Can anyone give me some advice what I need/can do here please?
Cheers
