Question

Senior needs help

by pattyjm59 May 8, 2016 12:15PM PDT

I've got an older Panasonic five speaker surround sound system that I am trying to hook up to a flatscreen TV hooked up with a Blu-ray player. I am an older adult so I don't understand all the current techno lingo and instructions. I do know what RCA plugs are and HDMI plugs are, but that's about it. Can someone help me and explain it to me in a simple way that I can understand? Thank you.

But some older surround sound systems are just incompatible with today's TVs. Today's TVs don't have 5 channel RCA outputs. I've lost count of that issue.
