I have searched the web and these google groups for an answer but I
have yet to find it. I want to hook up surround sound so I can watch TV
and listen to it in surround sound. My tv does not have audio outs
anywhere. I read that you could just get a vcr and watch tv using the
vcr remote and just connect the speakers to the vcr. That made sense,
but then somebody said you could just buy a dvd player. I don't think
that's right. If my tv doesn't have audio outs, how will a dvd player
allow me to listen to my TV in surround sound? Let me know if you guys
have any suggestion on what I should do. I'd rather not have a vcr if
possible because I have absolutely no tapes to watch on it. Any
suggestions would be appreciated!

You need an amplifier or a receiver to power and control the speakers.
