I have many people asking me how to Connect so many Speaker's to my Computer, and instead of teaching every one of you individually, here is a Thread for all of you who want to Use their Home Theater System as their Computers Speakers.


How to do?

* First of you would need an RCA into Headphone Jack Converter which can be Bought From Any Hypermarket, Eg. Carrefour. It looks like this

* Secondly you would need some RCA cables to connect the Converter to your Home Theater system. It looks like this

* Thirdly You need to connect the RCA cables to The Place where it Says *INPUT*the colors of these input places are usually Red and white. Like in this Pic

Information about this


* if you want to Have "Surround Sound" You would need to have an Soundcard and you would also need More Converters and RCA Cables.

* If you wish to have as many Speakers as me. You would Need 2x 5.1 channel Amplifiers and Several Converters and RCA Cables

* It is not hard to do this things, it took me only 1 hour to Set up, No drivers or any Software needed. Just some Cables and Converters and of course an Amplifier

* Most Electronic Shops don't think it is possible to do this, But Rest assured it is. You May ask a few LYN members whom i Helped. They will tell you that this is Possible.

* It is not Really Necessary For you to use a Soundcard, unless you want 5.1channel Surround Sound or So on.

* Your Inbuilt Motherboard or even etc Phone,PSP,Mp3 Player can Be connected to the HT. As long as there is an Converter it will work.





ENJOY 5.1/7.1 On your PC! thumbup.gif

how to to connect to the old type of HT that dont have those kind of cable support.

THis is for people who have like the old type of HT that dont have HDMI or so on.


Also my Guide above also can be used to connect mobile phones or Mp3,psp to your Home Theater system brows.gif

Even if the 5XXX series cards have the HD audio thing..but what is the point if the guys HT cant support it? tongue.gif


Some of us have the Newer HT that have Support. But for people like me who using the "Old" type of HT that dont have the Support thing...

Besides the converter thing also works for psp,handphone,laptop,Mp3,ipod and so on brows.gif

datuk.. pakai Optical cable laa.. and upgrade the sound card to the one that can support optical. Settle.

have you considered what about the people who dont have the luxury of upgrading their stuff?

that is why i created this thread.

and also do you think a mobile phone or Mp3 player has an Optical cable? or if the Amplifier doesnt have a Optical input.

Please Consider about the people who do not have optical and so on. wink.gif

currently using a HT setup for my computer biggrin.gif
i guess the clarity is a lil too much for me lol
too good till tak boleh tahan tongue.gif
any ideas how to make my system more bass?
sounded like lacking of bass and equalizer alone doesn't help
need to try modding amp
*
What AMP are you using?

Mine Can Adjust Bass,Treble,Distance and stuff like that.

And there is a Nob which lets me increase the bass and treble

it's a NAD 302 amp
it's just a basic 2 speaker amp type
no 5.1 surround. just stereo
it has bass and treble adjustments but the bass isn't loud enough
trebles is ridiculously loud and clean lol

somehow the source affects the amp performance
for example my pc onboard sounded more bass than my psp through headphones
but when plugged to the amp,psp have better bass than pc
that makes me go crazy rclxub.gif
*
Hmm why dont you just get another Pair of Computer speakers and get a soundcard and make your system 5.1? laugh.gif

I had to lower my Bass settings at my AMPS Interface thing cause the bass was too much tongue.gif

Btw the trick i learned is Put your Computer Speaker Volume at like 50-60% loud and put your amp louder that would Make the Sound Clearer and more bass in my case la

TS's solution is affordable to every forumers here, but a bit classic and "outdated".... sorry TS, no offense...... but really, the splitter and converter will lowered the sound quality, i tried before, convert this lar, convert that lar.... but end up get myself a sound card, problem solved and the sound quality...... superb.....!!!! anyway, TS provided a nice guide.... bump bump bump!!!

No offense taken tongue.gif

i didnt really notice the poor audio quality cause i use soundcard tongue.gif ...but now i am using Mobo sound it sounds quite good tongue.gif

maybe got different quality cables? biggrin.gif tongue.gif

by putting the sc volume 50-60% and putting the amp louder will amplify too much distortion from the soundcard lol

I had no distortion when putting volume at 50-60%
