OK so after a little bit of help here guys, I have a BeoVision 7-40 MK5 and want to add surround sound. As much as I would love B&O speakers at this time I can't afford them. I currently have a BeoLab 7.2 which I love but I do want that little bit more from my system.

I have preeviously in other peoples set ups used Parasound Z Amp's for powering ceiling speakers, and just selected BeoVox 1 in the menu.

I have a spare Bose Sub & Satellite Speaker system lieing around which has phono inputs on it (the amp is in the sub) and I was thinking about connecting this up to my BeoVision 7-40 to give me L & R by using a DIN to phono cable, my question is though does any one know how this will sound and what speakers should I set the system up to be in the menu?

I should then be getting another similiar bose unit with bigger sub which I will then use as the fronts if succesful and move my current speaker/sub to the back for RL & RR.

If anyone has any thoughts/opinions on this your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, I have found the cable that I need on Steve's website so want to order them, but as they are quite expensive I want to make sure that they will be a worthwhile investment and if anyone has any experiences of doing similiar, otherwise I will be wasting £50...

Not a waste. Those cables will likely outlast the equipment!
