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 30, or "5.1 (5 speakers and a subwoofer) home audio installation" on page 31. 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. Configuring Speaker and Sound Options 29
