Yes you need a AV receiver. It will be what all of your other components (blu ray, shaw box, computer, etc) plug into. Preferably with HDMI cables. If you have a late model TV it should communicate with your receiver and when you turn the TV on it will turn on your receiver. When you turn on a component, your receiver will take it to the proper input also and turn on your TV.
From your receiver you connect it with speaker cable to your speakers. There will probably be some wall outlets going to your speakers. As said, if you have 5 speakers get a 5.1 system or a 7.1. If you have speakers in other rooms you should look for a zone 2 receiver.
A decent receiver will also come with a set up mike that will tune your speakers to your sitting positions.
