I have stereo in my "audio" room but life would not be as sweet
without 5.1 in the home theater room.
Something like this would do the trick:

But it depends on a lot of factors.

Time to upgrade that receiver Jay! My 'old' Onkyo THX 5.1unit
(from about 15 years ago) had an issue (I can't remember what) so I
upgraded myself to another Onkyo THX 7.1 unit with HDMI and optical
inputs, and it was a fraction of the cost of the old one!

I have AT&T U-verse. The Panasonic set does have an

having been
dreamed of in 1977, I am sure.
Is there such a thing as a converter to convert optical
input to analog?
Or am I a hopeless dweeb for asking such a question?

For the audio you should not be going through the TV
anyway. That is an
absolutely unnecessary step that gains you nothing.
The only complication is how you have your room wired
and what equipment
you
have or are willing to buy. If you do not have optical
sound these days
you
are missing out.
If you can tell me what your gear is I can help you
figure out the best
path.
There are several factors to consider and also some
benefits from a new
TV
that most consumers are not aware of because the cable
TV/satellite
people
don't want you to know.
Best,
John

Thanks. I am still looking. Looked at the Panasonic G
series 50" at
Best Buy this weekend. It is a magnificent image, and
is almost 50%
less in price that the high end LED-LCD sets. But I am
reading from
some sources that the plasma will fade (and the rich
blacks that are so
attractive in the plasma) will 'gray up' in time....
then other sources
say these newer ones are better about that. But who
knows?
Also, this set does not have an analog audio output
(many of them don't
these days). So how will I connect it to my existing
stereo system to
get better than the tinny sound that all flat panel TVs
emit? It's a
shame someone at Panasonic didn't think of that.

Set it up Friday... going from CRT I'm still getting
used to it.
Image is nice, though it's obvious that newer shows look
better than
older
shows. Watched the Eagles game on it Sun... The loss
was just as ugly
as
it would have been on the CRT (and no motion/refresh
rate problems).
Overall, for what I paid I'm happy with it.
