I have just bought the a WD TV live box and I am woundering how I would setup a surround sound system with this. I have no experiance with surround sound systems so I have no idea what I need? Do I just need a 5.1 speak system or do I need a mixer or somthing aswel? I was looking at something cheap like this: http://www.ebuyer.com/242265-logitech-z506-5-1-surround-sound-speakers-75w-rms-980-000432
Would this work do I need to buy anything else or would this work fine on its own?
Out of interest I downloaded the Dolby test video and it is encoded in pro-logic so I do get the left centre right and rear. Pro logic only has a single rear output so the left and right rear come out of the same speakers. Obviously Dolby Pro-logic is not as good as discrete digital channels but it does a reasonable job and is certainly not pseudo or emulated. Pro-logic is the home version of the old theatrical Dolby surround which was used on 2 channel film in cinemas. I have my pro-logic decoder connected to my satellite box etc so I can get full surround from films, concerts and sporting events simply by feeding the L and R outputs to the decoder.
