I have an Akai turntable without a built-in amplifier & would like to transfer my LP’s to my PC. Do I need to buy a separate amplifier or can I use the amplifier/receiver from a home theatre system?
You should be able to go directly from the turntable to the PC with the proper cable.
Adding the home theater amplifier would just be an extra step that could degrade the signal.
This is a demonstration of my Home Theater Mac mini and the various control and software options.

I was thinking of buying a Sony DAV-HDX275 home theatre system merely to use as a cd player/iPod player. Can I do this or must it be hooked up to a TV to work?
You can do that but the effects that make surround sound work are encoded in movies. (THX and Dolby Surround.) You do not have the same effects on cd or ipod. These are stereo only music sources. Your tv has nothing to do with the sound other than to maybe see what you are doing to set up the system and of course watch movies and television.

I have a great home theatre system. I like it’s surrond sound very much. Is it possible that with a device I browse my desktop songs and play them with my receiver? What equipment/software I need to buy?
What you need is the ROKU Soundbridge. It lets you stream your music from computer to your receiver and it is very easy to setup. It has a nice big display where you can browse your tunes, create playlists, etc.

I need to know what cables i need to connect my laptop to the back of my home theatre system as there are no ports available to use on the actual projector.
If u want to connect video you can connect it by svideo. if you just want the audio out you can buy a 3.5mm jack to rca cable from an electronics or audio kind of place. If your home theatre has svideo buy an svideo to svideo cable or use a converter like i do which you plug into the svideo port and it converts it to composite (rca) so then u can use an rca cable to connect it into the video socket of your home theatre.
So if you want to connect the sound only use a 3.5mm jack (male) to rca (male) cable. And for video use an svideo to composite converter and use an rca to rca cable to connect to home theatre.
This is my home theater setup aka the man cave. Imma HUGE HUGE sports fan (go falcons!) so this room is dedicated to sports. I have the 65″ inch hdtv, and three 32″inch lcd tvs on top of that. This way, with nfl sunday ticket or nba league pass, I can watch all the games at once without missing a thing. Or I watch multiple sports all at one time. Mounted to the ceiling, I have a motorized 120″ inch projector screen 16:9 which comes down for the big sunday and monday nite football games, or when a big boxing or ufc fight is on. Now the components. Playstation 3, xbox 360, Wii, Pioneer surround sound,
5 Directv boxes, 3 lcd tvs, 65″ hdtv, universal remote, and a optima DLP projector. Im not really a gamer, I use to PS3 to watch blu ray movies, and I only play the 360 for madden football. I also have subwoofers underneath my couch for the full theater experience. The whole theater is controlled by my logitech harmony 1100 touch screen universal remote which can control pretty much anything.

we hooked up a home theatre system to our tv, but whenever we’re watching a dvd and want to put it louder the channel changes, and also when we put the radio on of the home theatre system the tv switches on.
Looks like your TV and the home theater share some IR commands. Rare, but not unusual.
When it is time to watch a DVD, put a little cardboard in front of the IR receiver in the TV, this should fix your problem.
