What do I need for a home theater?

Vickie Sterbenz: The link below has step by step instructions even videos on the subject. I believe this site is best suited in answering and showing you how to put it all together. http://www.ehow.com/how_7252663_connect-home-theat...Pioneer has several receivers that can drive your speakers and provide a connection to your iphone allowing music to play through your system. All receivers listed from $349 on up the ladder. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Rec...Best....Show more

Tobie Oshea: Go to Amazon. Search for Onkyo Home Theater and you will find a box set for about $380 that will give you everything you need for 5.1 surround sound. (The important part is the full-sized receiver which has lots of spare inputs for what you want to hook up.)Those old, giant speakers are inefficient and stereo. For 5.1 you need 5 small matching speakers - not two old dinosaurs.Hope this helps....Show more
