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.
