Connecting the Computer to a Home Audio System You can connect your computer to your home stereo or home theater multichannel audio receiver/amplifiers by using your existing speakers. For examples, see "2.1 home stereo installation" or "5.1 home audio installation." Y adapter cables Most home receiver/amplifiers have RCA-type input connectors. You may need to connect Y adapter cables between your computer 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. 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: 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 to a computer typically requires audio cables that are long enough to connect from the computer to the stereo. You may also need to purchase RCA or mini-extension cables. NOTE: Y adapter and extension cables are purchased separately. 28 Start Here
