Hey,
I'm planning to buy a digital media player very soon. Preferably something like the Asus O!Play Mini Plus. (ASUS - Multimedia- ASUS O!Play Mini Plus)
I don't own an LCD or a plasma, only a 29'' flat screen CRT TV - the Sansui Hardrock-294-i; and a Sansui dvd-518 to go with it.
The Asus lists its Output options as:
"Composite Video
Composite Audio L/R
S/PDIF Out (Optical)
HDMI 1.3"
I'm guessing I can probably connect it to my TV set.
But I also want a 5.1 channel speaker system to go with it.
Are there any component speaker systems available under 10k that would hook up directly with the Asus?
Is it possible to hook up a speaker system to the TV instead while its also connected to the media player at the same time?
Or do I absolutely need to have an A/V receiver.
Any chance I can use the DVD player somehow as a link between the speakers and the media player? It has a coaxial port, apparently.
As you can guess, I'm pretty much a layman in the field.
Would really appreciate some wise counsel. Pretty confused here at the moment.
Cheers!
