2 channel home theatre?


i just want to use 2 channels. front left and right, (perhaps tv's speakers for center).

i have rotel pre and amp.

can i take the svhs out of any dvd player and put it into the svhs on my toshiba 20"?

can i take the audio out (analog/non digital) on the dvd player and put it into the aux of the rotel pre?

i know i'm missing quite a bit by not passing on the digital info but i'm really looking only for 2 channel and view the dvd as simply another information format that will replace the kid's vhs.

does the above make sense?

will it work?

thanks in advance to those who respond.

be well

Very wise route. I have the enough amps and speakers to have a substantial HT system but refuse to divulge into a hi priced video processor and dvd. I watch a lot of news and informative shows and all of my favorite movies usually consist of a lot of dialogue. (Which requires more acting skils ). Furthermore, who needs to hear Peter Jennings in a full blown 7.1 system with a pair of mathing subs. HT is great if you can invest an entire wing of your home to while tricking it out. This way will require a six figure home improvemnt bill to your addition. I would do it if I had that much disposable income, otherwise a pool or tennis court in the yard would do. One thing to realize about HT is that you don't need to hear an accurate portrayal of an explosion, gunshot, or doors closing because you have the TV screen to portray the image of one. I hear doors open and close daily. It is an overated experience. With two channel audio we are forced to use our imaginary senses to re create something we do not visualize. This is the beauty of two channel which is the representation of what it might be like rather than what it is.
