Get an S/PDIF+TOSLINK to analog converter box or replace the surround receiver with something from this century.

Note that many converter boxes do not accept 5.1 because doing that over TOSLINK generally requires a compressed audio format. The TV may have a "PCM" setting for S/PDIF in its audio output settings if 2.0 is acceptable, but on some TVs that only affects actual TV content (not smart TV apps / HDMI).

>>57719091
No way dude, that receiver looks pretty old and has nothing but analogue inputs.

At best you could get some stereo out of it.

thanks mate, will try that.

>>57719412
This won't magically grant surround sound on a receiver that only has stereo input you dipshit.

>>57719091
Outside topic, that's a weak ass reciever, what speakers are you using with it? It's even shit for analog one for it's age.

>>57719726
uhm, so no way to get 5.1 on this tv from this av receiver?

i did have 5.1 setup on this like 15 years ago, but i dont remember if it actually gave surround sound or not.

>i did have 5.1 setup on this like 15 years ago, but i don't* remember if it actually gave surround sound or not.
It's Dolby Surround, it's only mixing a stereo signal to 5.1

>>57719760
See all those audio inputs? They're all in 2's right channel and left channel.
There are no digital connections (HDMI, USB, optical/coaxial spdif, etc). So you're limited to 2 channel input.

kenwood's speakers, s-c700, s-f100, s-sr500
>>57719758
well they may be shit, but still beat the tv's speakers
>>57719845
guess im buying some sort of home cinema system then. thanks for the information

>>57719091
Use the stereo output of your source, enbale Dolby Prologic for the 5.1 sound.

You are fcuked

>>57720062
Yes he is.
He won't be getting actual 5.1 over stereo, just a a mixed 4.0 from stereo.

>>57719091
>Kenwood actually made a 5.1 receiver with no 5.1 audio input
>5 amplified channels and they didn't even bother with fucking analog surround input at least
What the actual fuck is up with this product?

>>57720218
Dolby surround/prologic

>>57720244
Yes, but who the fuck would buy a "5.1 receiver" that's only capable of fake surround from stereo and can't actually accept a real 5.1 sound source? This is like making a "stereo" amplifier with mono input only, it's completely retarded.

>>57720281
actually my tech illiterate father bought it around 15 years ago. now i sort of inherited it. and seeing as i dont have any sound system other than headphones i tought id try it out.

the 2.0 is fine so far.

>>57720321
Should be fine for 2.0, yeah. I see it has a sub output too, that can also help if you're using bookshelf speakers and can get a sub.
