Sunday tithe. Hey by-the-way , any of you guys Audio junkies? I'm looking for some one who likes an electronic challenge to advise me. Trying valiantly to hook up an old style TEAC receiver to a Bose home theatre system. Speaker wires to RCA? Or component? HDMI? I feel like I'm trying to fit a Brand new GE jet engine to a Curtis Jenny! [:D]

I'm no audiophile, but went through attaching various receiver inputs recently. Upshot: it's all about the HDMI, dude. 'Component' blows chunks. If your old style TEAC receiver supports HDMI, you're in. Otherwise, consider its use as a paperweight.

Steve, I am old school Audio fan... 2 channels for me only for music! [:)]

What exactly you want to do?

The "Teac receiver" should have tuner plus amplifier in it - but your new Bose Home theater already have the amps inside.

Do you only want to connect tuner from TEAC to play over Bose Home theater?

Basically I like to use the TEAC as a controller for my other audio devices. I have a CD/MP3 player already tied in via my Bose system. The primary use for my TEAC is both for it's AM/FM receiver and a tie in for a Record player converter systm (I've been converting some of my parents old Records to CD). My problem is the only connector coming off the TEAC is speaker wire. Obviously I can always connect it to external old speakers (seperate from the Bose system) but that seems ineffiecient and absolutely no fun! [:D]

Weird as it may seem , I'm actually having a ball connecting as many systems through the Bose as I can. So far ,a DVR/cable box, A blue ray player , a DVD/VHS recorder, a "no region" DVD player (for all those great foreign films NOT playable on US players (and allowing me to take advantage of Amazon-UK and all those BBC video's NOT on sale in a US format) , My laptop (for playing WITP on a 55" screen) and of course a CD/MP3 player.

Andre wouldn't get it , but if been a blast (he's a young pup!). There's a crazy side of me that wants find a old 8track player and tie it in so I can convert a box of old 8 tracks I recently came across! [:D]

So my question basically is, Leo are you are of an easy converter/modulator/splicer/gadget that can lead in with speaker cable and output to a more modern set of leads that can tie into my home theatre? Which has inputs from , HDMI,Conponets,S-video,and even optical.

If not, no big deal, I'm just having fun.........[:D]

By the way , I don't NEED to play over the Bose system , "piggy backing" through it's speakers would also be cool. [:)]

OK - I understand what you want / need now Steve!

Although I am a bit puzzled that TEAC receiver only has speaker connectors for "OUT" - it should have at least "AUX OUT" of that TEAC receiver... hmmm...

The thing is that you want to have signal out of your device that has only passed through the pre-amplifier (i.e. RCA connectors) and not after amplifier (i.e. speaker connectors) - the amplified signal can't be used for input (too high voltage - you would burn the input circuits)...

As for "piggy backing" speaks on two different devices... I don't know... the audiophiles don't like it... I also don't like it and I never ever did it with my system(s)... I think that you have Bose speakers with Bose Home theater and I don't know how god (and if) they are with older TEAC receiver (especially regarding speaker impedance)...

Guys, I've just received a PM from someone calling himself "SamuraiSkates " asking about Helmut. No posts, no record, it appears to be a new log-in. Anyone else suspious about this? He joined 12 August 2012.[&:]
