I just purchased a Sony [HT-DDW750] Home Theater System which connects with my 27" two year old JVC TV and Toshiba DVD [el cheapo model]. The price was right at $299.00 for the Sony. I am not big on DVD's, CD's, nor is my room great for surround. But, I like what I hear, so far. I am getting a better TV sound, but only the woofer comes in with it's beat, beat and sound from two of the five other speakers. I can push a button for music which causes too many sounds and seems to engage all of the speakers.

My question: I purchased a $39.00 Monster Cable for the connection between the DVD and the amplifier [Sony] which I have not installed as there was a "Coaxial digital cord (supplied)", and that is what I installed. The monster is still in the wraper.

My "home theater" does not have those speakers located as they should be? Ninty percent of the time the input and output to all of this will be plain old non digital cable TV and that is what I really want to enhance.

To me a buck is a buck. Do I really need that one $39.00 Monster Cable while the other cables are plain old RCA type wires, etc. ?
Remember there was a plain vanilla coaxial in the Sony box.
 
So you want to use your Coaxial instead of the Audio/Video Monster Cables. Well you still need a video cable, right? So what are you using for the picture from the DVD to the amp or TV?

Monster is nice for music/recording gear, but you really don't need a full on A/V cable. I would take it back and see if they have a Monster Video cable. Should be a buck or two less:D


If you TV has audio outputs, you can use the Monster cable to send that to the amplifier, then use the video portion to send video from the amplifier to the TV.


There is nothing like having sports pumping through the home stereo :p
 
Outlaws,

Thanks, but I'll have to reply with details in the morning. It's getting dark here and all of that.

My top interest is getting the most out of TV for my wife as contrasted to a DVD, or CD.

I'll check out the detail you brought up in the a.m. Saturday.
