No analog output?

If your situation allows it, consider purchasing a new AV receiver. It would, of course, be compatible with the latest digital televisions and video source components, such as cable/satellite boxes and Blu-ray players. HDMI connections make life much simpler. Brand-new AV receivers start at about $170.

If you are using a high-priced analog receiver at present, a bottom-basement AV unit won't provide the same sonics to which you are accustomed. But some are rather decent sounding (Yamaha, Denon, and Pioneer come to mind).

If you wish to replace a really good analog receiver with a superb new AV unit, I recommend (from personal experience) taking a look at Yamaha's Aventage models. They deliver smooth, clean, detailed, yet nonfatiguing sonics.

Previous-year receivers from most brands often sell at significant discounts. Amazon is a good place to start looking.
