Hey guys, i'm totally inept at electronics, so please keep that in mind. Also keep in mind that i"m not an audiophile. I really don't care about surround sound, etc. What i have is a simple 10 year old Panasonic bookshelf system, you know the kind, they cost maybe $200. It's in my living room, and i have it hooked up to my TV, so I can get a little more volume when listening the the satellite TV music stations. What I would like to be able to do is this: add a speaker in my kitchen, so when I'm cooking, I can hear what's on etc., plus when i have people over, the music will be playing in both parts of the house. My kitchen is rather separated from my living room. Is this as simple as running some speaker wire from the bookshelf system into the kitchen, then adding a speaker? Or will adding a speaker mess everything up? I know these systems don't have much power. What do I need to do, and what do I need to consider? I'm sure i will eventually upgrade to a "real" system, but I'm in the middle of a kitchen remodel, and every spare penny i have is going to that. I would also like ot possibly add a speaker to the patio area while I'm at it.

Hi! I have a 1992 model Admiral TV. I'm trying to hook up a DVD player to it. Unfortunately, over the years, I have misplaced the owners manual for the TV so I'm not sure what I'm not doing. I have followed all of the instructions in the manual for the DVD player, but the TV is not recognizing its existence - the sound and picture I get are from the TV, not the DVD player. Incidently, if I route the sound through external speakers (rather than plugging directly to the back of the TV), I am able to get sound. I have a feeling it has to do with something in the TV setup, but none of the remotes I have (including the one that came with the TV) seem to be helping in that arena. Any suggestions?
