Page 1 of do i need a reciever?

i will be linking my new dvd into a yamaha dsp a592 amp which has dolby prologic, the dvd i am thinking of getting is the dvp-ns905vs which has a built in dolby digital and dts decoder.
would the above be sufficient or would i be better off goin for a new reciever.
the amp mentioned has a six channel output which i would be running the dvd through.
any advice would be welcome :)

Hi,

The amp is fine, but I think you mean has six channel input, the DVD will have six channel output.

This is fine to send your decoded signals to your speakers. A new receiver will be the same, but have digital inputs and a radio tuner. If you dont need the tuner, stick with your current amp, providing you are happy with its past performance of course!

yes sorry i stand corrected :) but what i`m really trying to say is would i be better off going for a standard dvd player and reciever to decode dts and dd signals than keeping my original amp and getting the dvp-ns905vs ????

Thats all upto you.

How much is a DVD player going to cost with inbuilt decoders as oppose to buying both DVD player without them and a new amp?

If you are happy with your amp, stick with it. If you buy the DVD with inbuilt decoders you can still upgrade to a digital amp in the future.

yeah the amp is fine tbh
thnx for your opinion and help :)
