Ahoy Experts!
I am new to this forum and off late I have been researching a lot on utilizing my old Creative 5.1 Home Theater with my LG TV. Since I am not too much into audio systems and all, I was getting confused on how to proceed with it so after researching a lot I realized that this forum has great contributors who really know a lot of this stuff. To give you all a brief of what I intend to do, let me share the hardware that I have:
1. I have a great old home theater that I used with my home desktop PC: Creative Inspire 5.1 5200
2. DVD Player: Philips DVP3368
3. LG 3D LED Smart TV (55LW5700)
Now all these products are great, but I am having trouble connecting my Creative 5.1 home theater with my so called not so smart tv (or may for the so call not so smart me).
I researched and found that there are 2 ways through which I could connect my home theater with my TV as below:
1. Buy an AV receiver - Not a good idea (and an extremely costly one) for me considering the fact that I still have my good old home theater.....If I have to go into such hassles then I would rather buy a new home theater altogether that would have the likes of optical, HDMI and what not connectivity.
2. Buy a Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter that has three 3.5mm female ports on one end and 2 RCA female port on the other - Buying this is a hassle as this is not sold in India unfortunately and I see it available for delivery in US only.
Hence, I desperately need to try options here to bring my systems together for an enjoyable experience. I know you geeks are the best in this field and would be able to help me out.
I've purposely mentioned my DVD player as a device as I am ready to make use of this to make this union of devices possible. Please suggest on exact cables, converters, adapters that I can use to make a direct connection of my home theater with my TV or via the DVD player.
Eagerly anticipating help on this situation. Many thanks in advance and lots would follow upon advices.
