so are you just wanting to hook up additional speakers into the back of set, and have them controlled from the sets sound controller?
its unlikely the tv will have an amp/processor built in to drive external speakers. The best solution is a seperate amp/processer (yamaha are amongst theeeee best) and speakers/sub kit, but that will give you a 2nd remote which you don't want. The most common solution is a standard surround kit, usually with the dvd/blu ray player combined.. but you'd need to check it has sufficient inputs to hook up your tivo box to get the sound for tv progs as well as any other kit you wanted to hook up (and again a 2nd remote... though if you get a panasonic the main features will be controlled from the tv remote). I quite like andrews solution... wouldn't have thought of that, and as best as i recall the panasonics have a seperate volume/bass/treble control for the headphone outputs.
Which model is it anyway?
