For some very unusual equipment I use to watch movies, I need a receiver that still has RCA inputs for separate audio channels. A few years ago many had this, can someone recommend a good cheap new unit that still does?

jonathan posted:Basically you have a device called the processor which is just like a receiver, except it only does the decoding part, it then sens a line-voltage signal out to the amp(s) that you have running to the speakers. You could start off with a processor and a 2 channel amp to drive your speakers, then add additional amps once you step up to a 5.1 system. This setup is beyond what's intended for this thread, however it can be done on a budget, and this setup is a bit more future proof. You don't need to replace amps when new audio standards come out, just swap out the processor (or upgrade it's firmware). FWIW, this is also the EXACT sound system setup of every movie theatre. In some rare circumstances cinemas are running digital sound through a brand new processor but with amps and speakers from the 40's and 50's. The discrete solution is the way to go for redundancy proofing, if the budget allows.

I'm not sure what the consensus here is, but I would personally suggest getting the centre speaker at the same time as the L&R. It makes movie dialog a lot more discernible to me.

Carta you'll need to run the amp in stereo mode, or with LR on regular mode you will be getting [movie title] - the original motion picture soundtrack with some muffled dialog and sound effects.
