I hope this is the right subforum. Not really about HTPC but falls under Home Theater Equipment.
I have this old Sony SS TS20 5.1 speaker system laying around and I'd like to put it to good use. Im basically looking for a cheap receiver that will let me hook this up to my HDTV. I would like it work with my TV sound, xbox 360, and a blu ray player.
Now I was first under the impression that all the equipment would connect to the receiver and then have one HDMI from the receiver go up to the TV. But would it also work if I just have everything connect to the TV, then have an optical audio cable (?) from the TV to receiver?
Here are some pictures of the system and the wires it uses to connect to a receiver. I have no idea whats a good receiver and whats not, so anything would be helpful!
