Problem for Sony DAV-DZ100 System

Upgrading dvd to blu-ray - how can I use my existing surround sound speakers?




By Buzzwagon on Oct 11, 2008

" "
I want to upgrade to blu-ray and keep my exisiting speaker set up from a Sony Dav-DZ100 system. The exisiting home theatre system is an all-in-one where the player acts as the amp. The output jacks for the speakers are molded specifically for this dvd player. How can I keep my set-up but incorporate a blu-ray player? The blu-ray player I'm looking at is also a sony but has phono outputs.

Unfortunately because your existing system does not have the option of connecting an external source, such as another DVD player, the only option you have is to reuse your existing speakers and purchase another amplifier. Trying to patch another DVD into your existing unit would require a bit of technical expertise which would be more trouble than it is worth. The all-in one concept is convenient but very limiting in terms of expansion.

- I must amend my previous response since I missed the fact that your existing system has a SCART connector. There are a variety of adapters available for this and one configuration has the ability to accept a phono level input from an external source. Try searching for "scart to phono adapter" and you should come up with several options. They usually have an in/out switch for the audio which allows you to plug in the external DVD player.
