Ok....I have a pioneer dv 515....i think...:D
and a strdv1070 receiver.
I am skint...having just brought my first house..
As a result I brought some of those cheap Bush speakers as avaiable in Safeway.
However I cannot connect it to my dvd player....as I only have 2 outputs for the left and 2 for the right! :(
Can the speaker set be set up via the receiver?
HELP!
:)

There are speaker outputs on the back of the amp/receiver Connect your speakers to those and connect your dvd player to the receiver inputs using phono cables from the two outputs on the back you mentioned.

Edit Just had a thought I think you're DVD player may well have a coaxial or optical output..if so then this is the best way to connect it to your amp/receiver

Connect your DVD player via the optical or coaxial lead to your amp,use the pre-outs on your amp(6 phono connections front left/right.centre.and rear left/right.sub.)to connect to your speakers.

Yeah what ABC said, hook it up to the receiver pre outs - one for each channel. But why on earth have you done money on that budget crap? If you can't afford a decent front three now, you should of waited. In other words you might have just ****** the #60 up the wall for all the enjoyment your gonna get out oif those. :p

By the time you get to use your 1070 properly it'll be obsolete and in the bargain bins for #200 nicker. :D

Scuse spelling dodgy keyboard...

I thought the Bush speakers were a stand alone system, a la digitheatre? In which case you have 2 amps...
I hope I'm wrong...

Yeah it is an amplified sub/sat system, but it needs a decoder a la Digitheatre LC, which is why the pre-out route is suggested.

God knows why rst bought them... :rolleyes:

You need to get your priorities right m8.

£60 on a washing machine and £500 on speakers is how i would have done it.
