Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

It will "work" but not very well

"i just want to use 2 channels. front left and right, (perhaps tv's speakers for center)."

Forget about using the TV's speakers as the centre. The result will be pretty ordinary if not wierd

i have rotel pre and amp. can i take the svhs out of any dvd player and put it into the svhs on my toshiba 20"?

Yes, you will get much improved sound than from the TV

"can i take the audio out (analog/non digital) on the dvd player and put it into the aux of the rotel pre?"

Yes

"i know i'm missing quite a bit by not passing on the digital info but i'm really looking only for 2 channel and view the dvd as simply another information format that will replace the kid's vhs."

Agree. Purchase of a used pro logic decoder (very cheap now as everyone lusts after DD 5.1) + a couple of modest rear speakers would lift your enjoyment of TV enormously. Look for a Fosgate or Lexicon. Fosgate 2 even has an amp for the rear channels and is now 10 years old so can be purchased VERY cheaply. In your situation I would not worry about the centre channel.

"does the above make sense?"

Yes

Have fun
