Connecting the PC to a home audio system

You can connect your PC to your home stereo or home theater multichannel audio receiver/amplifiers using your existing speakers.

For example, see “2 or 2.1 home stereo installation” on page 26, or “5.1 (5 speakers and a subwoofer) home audio installation” on page 27.

Y adapter cables

Most home receiver/amplifiers have RCA-type connectors. You may need to connect Y adapter cables between your PC and your receiver/ amplifier. Y adapter cables have one 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) stereo mini-jack on one end and two RCA connectors on the other end. These cables are purchased separately.

NOTE: Y adapter and extension cables are purchased separately.

The number of Y adapter cables you need to connect to your home stereo system depends on the number of speakers you install:

•2/2.1 speaker system: 1 Y adapter cable

•4/4.1 speaker system: 2 Y adapter cables

•5.1 speaker system: 3 Y adapter cables

•7.1 speaker system: 4 Y adapter cables

Connecting a home stereo to a PC typically requires audio cables that are long enough to connect from the PC to the stereo. You may also need to purchase RCA or mini-extension cables.
