here's how you can cheat to do it. It'll lower your picture quality a bit but most people don't notice. Hook the VCR up the old fashioned way - with a coax to the TV, and watch it on channel 3. Turn the volume up, and the bass on the TV down a bit. Voila, you'll have center channel audio out of the TV speakers.
Then, to get it to work with the DVD player, route the DVD into the VCR, switch the VCR to line mode, and watch your DVD through the VCR on channel 3.
Or just use your existing speaker
