I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to all this so sorry if i don't really know what i'm on about!!
I currently have a Sony DAV-SC5 DVD Home Cinema System, had it many years now and it's been a great servant. However, i've not treated myself for a while so I am considering getting something new!
I have Blu Ray player, Sky HD and Xbox 360 all connected via HDMI to the TV for picture, and optical to the reciever (through a 3-way optical splitter/selector) for sound.
Now, if i were to get a new reciever (Amplifier i believe?) would the sound be THAT much better to justify the price?
Would i need to get new speakers & sub too?
Do most recievers have more than one optical IN, as, although i'm no expert, i can't imagine this splitter thing i have is doing me any favours in terms of sound quality?
Would the way i connect my equipment up to my TV for video change as well?
Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions!!!
