I recently moved in to a new place and the previous owner has left his harman karden 5.1 system.
I started playing around with it a bit (i've never owned a surround system and its nice that the satellites are all pre wired)
I think though that it might be a little long in the tooth now. there is no hdmi connections only an optical in and an rca in.
I have an xbox one which my directv set top box connects through so, my xbox and tv are covered through the optical cable.
I sometimes like to connect my laptop to the tv though via hdmi and now it seems that there would be no way to use the surround system if I did that?
I don't really want to invest in a new system but curious if I am maybe able to connect more devices through the system if needed?
for now its just:
xbox one
directv
laptop
The speakers/woofer all seem good, is it more economical to get a new A/V receiver only (if I decide to upgrade)? Is that even possible or are they always sold as a kit with speakers? Haven't done much research yet.
