Question: Can you connect a regular dvd player and regular speakers?  How does it connect to the tv?  I don't have a smart tv.
Document: I have had various SONY receivers over the years, both ES (high end) as well as their regular kind. I am mostly looking at driving my whole-house A/V system, with 4+1 surround for a total of 20 speakers. I have a separate amp for that, but wanted to control the system using an upgraded front end and then connect its line-out to the amp I have.
I hooked my 70 in. smart tv to the receiver and the sound is unbelieveable it' like being at the theater
The sound when using any of the different functions was very good. I set my unit up so that my smart TV was the hub (I connected things like Dir TV and my Blue Ray player to my TV and then connected my TV to output to the Sony unit) It takes time but it works great!
I have to say one of the most convoluted manuals I've ever read for setting up a receiver, but on to bigger problems. Could not figure out a way to change radio channels without turning on the tv and using the remote, called Sony, they said that's the way it is! When changing sources, tv to tuner, or CD player it takes a minimum of ten seconds, so initially during the lull you're left thinking it's not working. Well it is working, it's just doggedly slow.
This is a great device; however you will need to take your time to set it up correctly. And it WILL take some time to set it up correctly &#8230; it is not that difficult if you read the manual first and follow its instructions step by step. It is true that the GUI is ugly, however you can use another device like a smart TV or a Blue Ray player to access things like Netflix or Pandora and they will use a much better looking display for using those programs.
Streaming from Bluetooth or Apple AirPlay to this receiver is easy to setup but are both quite low fidelity. The video streaming in the new blu-ray player (Sony - about $130 don't have model in front of me) works so darn well that I have no need for the video streaming capability that is in the DN1030 receiver. I have both directly connected to my 30Mbps internet modem and use wifi to connect the house computers to the internet.What I should have done is 1.)
Pros - sounds great, has lots of new interconnects - USB(1), Bluetooth, HDMI. Cons- not enough inputs. Ignores phono, very important for audiophiles!) input and older technology like CD player. It assumes that you are going to use your dvd player to play CD's. GUI is  poorly designed, klunky. GUI is Not why I bought the unit and had read that GUI was awful before I bought this model. Controls are buried deep within menus. Redesign Sony!
Got it a couple days ago and it is awsome all the power I need and more. All of my other equipment is sony that's a given Tv, speakers 3000's and 7000's, and can't live without a ps3. I only mention it because they shake hands very well. Anyway back to the receiver it was pretty easy to set up once I desided to read the manual (I think I know everything).
One month ago, my WIFI 55 inch digital TV refused to handshake Kenwood's analog signal after 2 years of harmonious marriage.After my research, I did not want to jump to AV 7.1 receiver due to high price and added expense of 2 speakers in a regular size family room.
I have to power up the receiver and then switch it to CATV and power it down for the passthru to work. This is my biggest complaint as my kids just want to watch tv and if i forget and turn off the unit while in bluetooth mode, they are out of luck until i fix.Overall Id recommend
Answer: yes you can connect regular speakers and a regular DVD player you do not need a smart TV for this
