How Do You Add Surround Sound To A Hi-Fi System?
Adding surround sound to a hi-fi (high fidelity) system requires a receiver equipped with a surround sound processor for decoding the separate audio signals on DVDs, Blu-ray discs and television programming. The existing stereo speakers in a hi-fi system can probably be used in addition to other speakers that must be connected to fill out the surround sound. Add a powered subwoofer to deliver booming bass and the surround sound system will fill the room with multichannel audio. Connect each hi-fi component to the jacks labeled for it on the back of the surround sound receiver using a standard stereo cable with white and red plugs on each end. The white plug connects to the left audio channel; red to the right. Most receivers have jacks for connecting numerous hi-fi components, such as CD players, turntables and tape decks. The “AUX” (auxiliary) jack can also be used to connect a hi-fi component, such as a reel-to-reel tape deck. Attach the two existing hi-fi stereo speakers to the left
