Connecting your home stereo system (optional)

Most home receivers/amplifiers have RCA-type input connectors. You must connect

Y adapter cables between your computer and your receiver/amplifier. Y adapter cables have one 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) stereo mini-jack on one end, and two RCA connectors on the other. These cables are purchased separately.

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

￿2/2.1 speaker system: One Y adapter cable

￿4/4.1 speaker system: Two Y adapter cables

￿6/5.1 speaker system: Three Y adapter cables

￿8/7.1 speaker system: Four Y adapter cables

Connecting a home stereo system to a computer requires audio cables that are long enough to reach from the computer to the stereo. You also must purchase Y adapter or mini-extension cables.

NOTE: Y adapter and mini-extension cables are purchased separately.
