Ben Ryves writes about tweaks used to use a 2002 era home cinema system to work with some more modern equipment:
Now that the charity shops have reopened in the UK I enjoy hunting for good bargains and recently picked up a DAV-S400, a home cinema system originally sold back in 2002. I was not particularly interested in its DVD playback capabilities, especially as it only outputs composite video, but the integrated 5.1 surround sound amplifier and optical input made me think that I could use it to replace my current stereo amplifier for a better home cinema experience.
The inclusion of SACD support was an added bonus as I’d bought myself a copy of The Dark Side of the Moon in that format back in 2004 and only been able to listen to it once, so if I couldn’t get the home cinema side working at least the SACD part was self-contained and I’d be able to enjoy that.
