Hello All

I just bought online the Yamaha nsp106 home theatre package from Futureshop in Toronto...

i am just curious and a first timer in buying a home theatre.. is this sufficient for me to connect to my tv or panasonic dvd player to view movies/tv with home theatre background. Do I need to have a receiver(amplifier) to start with or this home theatre package is sufficient for me to get started. Your help will be truly appreciated

the details of the home theatre package is given in the link for ready reference.

Yes you will need a receiver to power your speakers and to process all the audio and video from the DVD player.

thanks for the update....

in that case i will return the package and buy a home theatre system with receiver along with that rather than buying a receiver as standalone different one..

thanks once again

If it were me I would buy a separate Receiver...the ones in a Home theater in a BOX are not the best (they lack inputs, expandability, wattage, and don't "sound" as good as stand alone ones)....they are made for a certain price point...if you like the way the speakers sound...keep the speakers, and buy a receiver...I would look into Onkyo. I don't know how much you can spend, but the Onkyo TX-SR601 is a great find. Here is the review: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/onkyo_TX-SR601_review_01.html

I hope that helps some

thanks john for the tip.. is it ok for me to connect the speakers as it is now and buy the receiver at a later date...

The speakers need a receiver to function. You can find many nice recievers if you look around a bit. I think yamaha has some sub-$200 models that could work fine for you.
