Replacements are ridiculously priced.
Probably what I'll end up trying though since replacing the system would be more costly :shrug:.Quote:

Indeed. I skimmed through some posts on their forums and saw mention that the chips are marred to prevent identification.Quote:

I have an audio video question here. I have a stereo receiver and I'm wondering can I get tv audio through the receiver and get audio from devices connected(hdmi) to my tv through the receiver?
I know I can connect the audio plugs from composite/component to the receiver and get the audio and keep the video plugs attached to the tv which I've done before.
Something like this with device 3 outputting to the TV and then sending that to the receiver?
Spoiler warning:
You can do something like that if your TV has an audio passthrough or some other output. If it doesn't then any audio you want output via the receiver needs to be input to it.
Assuming understood what you meant :wacko:.
I'd say yes and no. Depends on the receiver. I had my Xbone hooked up to the tv and the tv output to the receiver, stereo worked fine but the surround sound mostly didn't work - rear speakers were just static and the center channel was super low in volume. Sub Woofer was fine though. My receiver is kinda old though.
so are both that I have access to, one is a kenwood(I think) and the other is a phillips(that's the one I used to use) I have a 2.1 speaker setupQuote:

yeah it does.shit so that's out. any other possible(and cheap) solutions?
An old receiver that has digital input. Like an old pre-hdmi 5.1 surround receiver. People throw a lot of those away now so you can find them easily a scrap yards or wherever there is ewaste disposal.Quote:

I've also got a really old yamaha prologic receiver here but that doesn't have any sort of 5.1 input (no digital inputs).
It couldn't be done passively like that, you'd need an ADC (analog to digital converter) of some kind.Quote:

Agreed, you shouldn't have any trouble finding one cheaply if you hunt for one. Someone was selling several for $5 each locally.Quote:

There appear to be a few rugby games but if they're any good or what you want I don't know :shrug:.
bought a new stand mount for my tv off amazon for under $20 with tax and free shipping and got it the next day(fuck you chinese ebayers) it's not a bad stand though it sits a bit high for my liking.
I tried tinkering with one of my stereo receivers but couldn't get any audio out of the speakers while connected to my tv. I did later see an option for external speakers in the tv menu.
Ugh, nasty blood clot in my leg. On blood thinners. Little to no beer allowed.
Zal unhappy :(
that really sucks. how long do you have to be on blood thinners?Quote:

2nd time this has happened although it was like 8 or 9 years ago last time in my other leg.
Sucks.
Good that it works. Now all you need is a case and a better memory kit :macgyver:.Quote:
