Hi I am Rupesh from India and one of my friend gifted me used 10 years Sony 5.1 channel home theatre system which has 850 watts and 5 speakers for center, surround and front and one sub woofer.

All speakers are working fine except the amplifier which reads music files from usb or aux and output the sound to speakers is not working.

Now my requirement is I want a new amplifier which has nice dac, Dolby Atmos, dts or dtsx without any speakers.

I searched for Sony 5.1 channel home theatre system and it costs more amount and even they sell everything I mean amplifier, speakers etc.,.

But I don't want speakers as I already have and so I asked them whether they can give only amplifier without any speakers but they replied no you must buy everything. I think Sony is not selling amplifier separately.

So I searched for local companies other than Sony who sells amplifiers and found a lot which are compatible with Sony home theatre system speakers.

I think that those local company amplifiers doesn't have technologies such as Dolby Atmos, dts or dtsx etc.,.

One of the company who sells amplifiers in my country is Ahuja which is more popular. It sells various devices related to audio. It's home page is as below

Ahuja

m.ahujaradios.com m.ahujaradios.com

As Ahuja is selling various devices like mixer amplifiers, power amplifiers, mixers, splitters etc.,. I can't select which is suitable for me.

I found other two products which are amplifiers from tech lobby company which are compatible for my speakers.



Kindly try to suggest a 5.1 channel amplifier which has nice dac, Dolby Atmos, dts or dtsx without any speakers. The amplifier must provide hifi sound.

If possible try to suggest amplifier from well known companies such as Sony, Phillips, Lg, onkyo etc., but at less cost. If not possible try to suggest from Ahuja or tech lobby etc.,.

Regards,
Rupesh.
 
present I will buy low end av receiver and in future I will buy hi tech receiver or home theatre system.

If I can't get Dolby Atmos, dts or dtsx then I will drop them.

Can you try to explain the meanings of the following which are present in Ahuja website.

I think that I can get a basic receiver or amplifier from Ahuja but I must carefully select the proper product as listed in their website.


Hi actually the problem in my amplifier is it is not throwing sound to front speakers.


I mean I can't get sound from only front speakers but I am able to get sound from surround or back speakers, woofer etc.,.


Except I am not getting sound from front speakers everything is working fine.


Can I add any circuit board or any other component to the motherboard of my present Sony home theatre system amplifier so that I can get sound from all the speakers.


This is a common problem in Sony home theatre systems.

Yes I went to service centre and they said that total MB had to be replaced and it will cost around 10,000 but I can get a new one at that cost.
 
Ok. Still you should try to get your sony amplifier serviced from a third party service center in your city or atleast check with them. The sony service center seldom does chip level service. Anyway the Ahuja amplifiers are best used for small concerts and mostly for DJ works. Look around and you may find some good amplifiers from Yamaha, Denon or Onkyo. However even a used Atmos amplifiers would cost above 25K depending upon the brand.
 
Other person suggested as follows

That unit does not provide any option to connect to an external amplifier. If not already being used for connection to your TV, however, it is possible that the "HDMI-ARC Out" could connect to an external soundbar/subwoofer which would take the place of the current speakers.

Update: Here's a device that might work if you can find an equivalent in India:
Pyle Bluetooth Hybrid Home Amplifier - 6-Channel 2000W Home Audio Rack Mount Stereo Power Amplifier Receiver w/ Radio, USB/AUX/RCA/Mic, Optical/Coaxial, AC-3, DVD Inputs, Dual 10 Band EQ https://a.co/d/6m6OHAz

if you examine the output ports present at the backside of my Sony home theatre system you can see square holes which are used to insert speaker wire.

For the Pyle amplifier you specified and other similar products there are no square holes at the backside of amplifier but instead there are circle holes.

As there are no square holes in new Pyle amplifier I think that I can't connect my present speakers.

At present in my home I have LG dvd player which has 5.1 channel output but as explained before there are no square holes at the backside of dvd player but instead there are circle holes.

Kindly try to suggest how to connect Sony home theatre speakers to other dvd player or amplifier which has circle holes.

As you suggested may I know how to connect speakers through hdmi output.

I am new to amplifiers, home theatre system, speakers etc.,. Please try to suggest any link which explains all in detail.

You can see the image of the end of my speaker wire below.
