I will ultimately have a surround sound setup. My TV is an  NEC 63 cm with twin
speakers. The TV has an audio in.
I will play the audio part thru a Denon amp and Mission speakers.

In the near future I will get a prologic surround sound decoder with a built in 
rear channel amp like one sold by Marantz.I will then use the audio in on the TV 
utilize its speakers as the centre dialog channel. This would complete my budget
surround sound till the time that I can spend $2500 on a real system.
 
Please send me the VCR info and advise me on the practicality/advisability of my
other plans.

Salman,
   sorry, I can't help you just yet with info about a VCR (maybe later on 
today), but I can offer some info on your proposed surround sound set up.
I used to own a Marantz SP-50 surround sound decoder, but have recently
(in the last 6 months) upgraded to a Yamaha DSP E200 processor.  The         
difference in sound quality and separation was astonishing.  I would recommend
that you don't buy a Marantz decoder, spend an extra $100 (or there abouts)
and get the Yamaha. The DSP E200 has an amp for the rear speakers, and also
one for the centre speaker if you require it.  It is a MUCH better unit.  Later
on, you may find that you can improve the sound on your system by adding a
centre speaker (instead of using the speakers on your telly). I would be most
interested to find out what the final set up of your system is in the future.
Hope that this may have helped in some way.
