RE: Surround sound for the hard of hearing

Well, you certainly gave me some new things to consider.Thanks for a through explanation. As far as my parents age, my dad is 97 and my mom is 93. I believe they have more of a problem with sight rather than hearing which is why many times they park themselves in front of the tv to hear, which may negate the benefits of a center speaker, i don't know. The rest of the time they are in thir normal postion several feet from the tv with the sound blasting like a heavy metal concert! Now you mention a center speaker. Pardon my density, but does that get hooked up to an external receiver with interconnects going between the tv and receiver or would there be a center speaker already installed from the factory (they have a Toshiba Regza)that could be programmed though the tv's menu? Sounds like lots of possibilities. I hadn't thought adding a center speaker though.They can afford to get a good one,but they are very conservative and wouldn't want to invest too much.
