Most cable boxes come with a box these days so you don’t need to do this.
However, something I would recommend instead of a VCR, if you have a LCD/Plasma TV then it most likely has an Audio Out on it which will take any sound you would normally hear on your TV and send it to an amplifier or external sound source.
This is because your stereo amplifier can emulate surround sound. So the amp can produce a 5.1 surround sound feeling from background noises and ambient sounds. Why are you not utilizing HDMI for video and optical/coax digital cable for your surround sound?
No it’s true, stereo surround sound exists, I watched fast and the furious through a bluray player with stereo cables, and I heard stereo surround sound. Really, it’s just the same as 5.1
“and now we have the coaxial cable running into our vcr, and than looping back through our video cords into our stereo.” wtf? do you know what you just said? All you did was forward the audio through a composite signal into a receiver. It’s not a stereo, it’s called a receiver. And a side note… does anyone still use vcr who is looking for quality that would require a receiver that enormously large? Is there even a point to hooking up a stereo analog tape to a.. what is that 7.1 system?
i need help with this shit…. i got basic cable… i dont have a cable box. it comes straight out da wall… i got a 5.1 surround sound system and i can get it to work with the DVD reciever n mp3 players but i want to hear surround thru cable TV.. originally i thot i could connect an RCA to RCA cable from my TV to the surround sound receiver but that didnt work and so im lost… any ideas?
RUN to Radio Shack and get a minijack to minijack cord. its only like 6 bucks. and it pluggs into the headphone jack of your surrond sound and on your laptop. good luck!
