Escape from New York (1981)

I got the old DVD player to play through the new TV with the surround sound speakers. Nothing else will. The direct connection between new TV and old Sony receiver won't happen. I've tried it every which way and it should be simple with L/R speaker wires going from the TV to the Sony. Does nothing. I got speaker feedback one time connecting it one way and that was it. Playing the Escape from New York DVD now on the Blu-ray player just to see how it looks.
