Nick asked:
So I recently bought Insignia 5.1 home theatre speaker system which to my surprise only came with 5 speakers and one subwoofer lacking the DVD player. I have one Sony single disc DVD player DVPNS55P/B which has only two RCA sockets (L and R) in the back. Is it feasible to hook up my 5 Speakers and 1 sub cables to the DVD player wihthout separately buying the 5.1 channel box. Thanks

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
not to my knowledge you need a receiver of some sort

You need a receiver or amplifier.
The DVD players, Game system, CATV box, etc., all produce line-level signals. These must be fed into a receiver which adds power to drive speakers.
The exception are small 5.1 speaker systems sold for computers like the Logitech units. They are self-powered so they dont need a receiver.
Your best bet is to either buy a AV receiver used or take the Insigina system back and buy a HTIB - system with speakers, sub, DVD player and receiver.

You will need a receiver even for the computer type systems. For bass management and crossover control.
Unfortunately there is no way around it, you need a receiver or amp of some kind. Make sure next time of the connections you will need before making a purchase.
