Makes me wonder how complicated it is to set up a HT system. My nephew with a Bose system just plugged it in and turned it on.
You could basically do the same thing with your new set up but you won't get the maximum benefit (sound) of having it.
For the amount of time you've spent scrutinizing your decision and concerning how much money you're putting into this. I would hope you would have the interest and desire to want to learn to set it up correctly and maximize the potential. It really isn't that hard, but yes, there is a lot of new information and terms to learn. Making sure to read through the manuals, hit the net and ask question will make the set up that much easier.
Don't worry Bob you're in good hands here and you'll be very happy you didn't buy an over priced plug an play system.
