Hello NanaKate, Thank you for choosing Sony! We appreciate your question and are here to assist you. The Sony BDP-S1700U Blu-ray player is designed for media playback and does not have the built-in capabilities of an A/V receiver or amplifier. As such, it cannot directly power a multi-channel surround sound speaker system. To enjoy your Blu-ray player with a surround sound setup, you must connect it to an A/V receiver or a separate surround sound system. The receiver will then handle all audio processing and amplification, sending the sound to your speakers. Connection Overview: 1. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT port on the BDP-S1700U to an available HDMI IN port on your A/V receiver. 2. Connect a second HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT port on your A/V receiver to an HDMI IN port on your TV. This setup ensures the A/V receiver receives the high-quality audio signal from the Blu-ray player while passing the video signal on to your TV. For more detailed instructions, refer to the "Connecting to your AV amplifier (receiver)" section on page 14 of the official manual: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4579/f2b13b14d596d6574a73a689b5d4b0dc/45796631M.pdf If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! Best regards, -Fred
