Hi All,
Been reading the very active discussions on the Sony HTK-215 sound system, and it's re-inigited my desire to go 5.1/DTS.
But, I'm on sure as to where to start. I'd like to understand people recommendations as to how to connect my equipment together with the HTK-215, should I purchase it.
I'm not really sure what I'm talking about, so you'll see some great descriptions coming up...
MY current setup includes:
32" Sony KV32DX30 (IDTV). This has ProLogic support (if you connect external speakers), and thus provides the necessary 'spring loaded' outputs (Left Front, Right Front, Center, Rear Left, Rear Right). It also includes a Left and Right phono sockets, and 3 SCARTS
Panasonic VCR - 2 x SCARTS, and I seem to recall Left and Right phono, although I'm not completely sure.
Encore DV-450 DVD player: Probably best if I can ask you to refer to this page - http://212.112.179.247/hardware.asp?pf%5Fid=80016. This is UK dealers website, and this pages contains details of all the available connections.
So how would you recommend I connect this to the Sony HTK-215?.
I realise that I'm probably not going to get the best from the system, as my room is long and narrow. Given that my Telly is sat in the corner, I'd guess I'd have the Front Left sat next to the Telly, and the Front Right in the right hand corner of the room.
Similarly, and I notice that Wall Mount brackets are available from teh other discussion, I'd probably want to wall mount the rears. The Rear Left would be fine, but the Rear Right...someone would always be sat under!.
Oh well...
Any help appreicated..thanks
