Ok, first, it's not the system you have to worry about so much, but more, whether or not you can hook up a DVD player to your TV. The sound sytem will be hooked up to the DVD player, so don't worry about those 2 items as far as compatability. You may need a new TV, because you want a mimimum of an S-Video connection from the DVD player to the TV. You definitely don't need progressive scan on this TV you mentioned, nor could you hook it up that way (component connections)
yeah.. im thinking about getting a suround sound system in my bedroom (its a pretty small room). but im confused as to what would be a good system and what other stuff i should get. my tv doesnt have all of the AV jacks.. only white and yellow. so the guy at radio shack said i would need to get an RF modulator thing. I was thinking about getting this one RCA sound system that had 5 speakers and a subwoofer that was on special for 120 bucks at radioshack, it also had a dvd player with progressive scan and stuff. but i also want to have my xbox hooked up to the system so will that work or is there something else i would have to get like a receiver or w/e.
honest to god, i know almost nothing about this stuff, so please do talk to me like im a 3rd grader.. i really dont want to mess anything up.
