Denon AVC-3800 no HDMI

[Theldron]

Hi all,

Thanks for having me. I need some advice.

My family and I have just moved into a new house, we are setting up a home cinema room. I have a LG 70" 70LB650V and a Denon AVC-3800 with 2 front speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center front speaker and a Sony subwoofer. The amp uses RCA connections.

I am connecting up a MediaPC and Blu Ray Player. The AVC-3800 is quite old and does not have HDMI connection.

What is the best way to connect up the AMP to the different devices, to get 5.1 surround?

Would something like this work - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neoteck-Extractor-Optical-Converter-Splitter-DAC-1080P/dp/B01GH4MEYC

Any advice would be appreciated.

It will give you 2 channel stereo but not %.1.

Honestly that receiver is well past its sell by date. We are long passed the analog sunset. You really do need a receiver with HDMI for what you want to do.

I believe your TV has an optical output port. The Denon should have one optical input port. Connecting your devices to the TV via HDMI and then connecting the TV to the Denon via an optical cable would be the easiest way to connect the devices with your current equipment. You will need to confirm the optical ports on the TV and the Denon.
