I would like to connect my LCD TV to a 2 channel system in my living room. I do not have a system in the living room now and the partly DIY basement system is too big for the living room.
The TV does not have analog audio out but, it does have coax digital audio out(no optical) and one HDMI- ARC
If I have any issues with ground noise are there 75ohm transformers made for this?
I am looking for a 2 channel receiver to do this and don't care for 5.1 etc
So far, looking on the web I have found a Onkyo TX 8050 that has coax and optical digital audio and also has a phono input and knobs
Went to the local BestBuy to buy one but they did not have any in stock
Does anyone know of any other 2 channel receivers with digital in?
Does anyone know anything first hand about the TX-8050?
Another option is a 5.1 receiver and setting it to 2 channel mode
I don't know what happens with the other channels when set to 2 channel are they just muted or left open powered up or powered down etc.?
I also wondered how they can sell a multi- channel receiver with all the channels and inputs and output connectors at the prices?
FWIW I bought a Radio Shack digital coax/optic to analog 2 channel out and was going to use a Sansui 30 watt a channel receiver I bought in the late 70's? however I can't find it.
EDIT forgot to add the TV is over the air no cable
