If I buy a home cinema system, can I still use my current dvd player with it?

Stefanie H: If I buy a home cinema system, can I still use my current dvd player with it?
I wanted to buy a home cinema system but don’t know a whole lot about them. I have a new multi region dvd player so I wondered if it’s possible to somehow still be able to use it with the surround sound?

Shouldn’t be a problem. Just choose a system that doesn’t already have a DVD player, and that can handle all your equipment’s outputs.

Just make sure the new system has at least one s/pdif AUX input (coax or optical), so that you can connect the digital audio output of your old player.

If you are looking at one of those home theater in a box with a dvd or blu ray disc player included your chances of adding your dvd player is none. Home theater in a box are not flexible for any addition of equipment, but you might be able to connect an audio source to them. I would check the system you are interested to make sure that you can add other equipment to it. The best choice is a receiver and speaker system set like the Onkyo HT-S5200 or the HT-S6200. Hope this will help you out.
