Uh, actually the DVD 5.1 system should already come with 2 fronts, a
center, 2 rears anda sub. And it should have at least a digital audio
input (though some don't). My Kenwood has everything (digital wire,
digital optical and six-channel individual inputs, but it's just a stereo
and my DVD player is a separate gadget). I use the digital optical input
for the satellite set-top box and the digital wire input for the DVD
player.
