for the xbox, i belif u need to use RCA for the audio, same type as this...
http://www.avcable.com/Merchant2/merchant....Code=RCA_CABLES

u can however get the convertor cord, which convert the RCA to 3.5mm stereo jack, like wud used in most consumer PC's soundcard, aka the 'green colored jack'.

As the analog output (the 2 audio cable, Red & White) only output stereo, thus making it only posible to use stereo speakers or 2.1 speakers. You can use it for 4.1, or even 5.1 speakers IF your speaker set allow UPMIX from a stereo sources, for example, a speaker with Dolby Prologic processor, or Creative CMSS system and etc.

*********************************

For Dolby Digital Decoding, you are only able to do it with TOSLINK, the Optical SPDIF "Digital" Output, look like this
http://www.avcable.com/Merchant2/merchant....ode=SPDIF_CABLE

In this case, you will also NEED to have a speaker that has a built in DECODER that allowed you to decode PCM or AC3 signals and playback them back to your 5.1/7.1 speakers correctly.

One example of speaker system that has a built in decoder, Logitech Z5500D @ http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products...,CONTENTID=9486

Most modern home theater receivers has an intergrated decoder too, this include the cheaper HTiB set, that I believe a few of oldtimers here are using this, iirc, there is one set sony which cost around MYR1000? anyone can enlighten me?



**************

If the above information is wrong, please point out.

all speaker can support 360, its the matter of cabling.
and yes, ur speaker can be used.

am not sure wud cables bundled with evo, from wud i see, i believe, they uses 3.5mm Stereo Jack to Dual RCA (Red + White)?

if yes, then u need to buy

Dual RCA Patch Cord as shown in http://www.avcable.com/Merchant2/merchant....Code=RCA_CABLES

else, u need to buy the 3.5mm Stereo Jack to Dual RCA (Red + White)

Sorry, I cant get any info out from sonicgear lousy website where it doesnot even mention any info on the I/O options.

is there such a thing exist? i dun think so, and EVO 3 is a entry level 2.1 speaker lah, there is no where he will need the multi channel cables. for wud? it only takes in stereo, the bass is just a LPF crossover from the stereo.



and, I believe there is no 'Optical SPDIF to 5.1 Analog out" cable out there, even if there is one, it will need to have a decoder built in and make in virtually expensive, better buy the HTiB if u need cheap solution for "5.1"

posible for u to take picture for me to take look?
picture with the left and right speaker, and the sub conenctors.

Red White Red White 4 cables? urs is a loose type cable?


**************************

p/s:
Your speaker should has 2 set of cables.

1 = Input from PC/Xbox
2 = Output to the other speakers, in ur case should be the right & woofer?


take a picture on the cable bundled too.

i wonder why sonic gear doing it like this.

and why would it need 4 x RCA for a 2.1. ehmmm

anyway, Kelvin, since unusual is using Evo 3 as well, he can guide u too nicely


i pressume it to be like this for the 4 x RCA


PC gren stereo jack <--------------------> Left RCA <------------> Left Speaker?
|-------> Right RCA <------------> Left Speaker?

the other RCAs

RCA one <------------------> Sub ?
RCA two <------------------> Right Speaker?

ok this make sense now.
if this is the case, u can throw away ur green colored cable.


u should have 4 port on your woofer now, they are not in the correct order, u need to sort them out. very simple niah

Outputs: Left Speaker (White), Right Speaker (Red)
these are the one connects you left & right speaker, dont change them, they are correctly installed.

************************

Inputs: Left Input (White), Right Input (Red)
these are where the speaker get signals for playback. Use you Xbox Red/White cable to conenct this, then have fun. No need extra cable

errr... so many of u no idea how to connect speaker.

seems like we need a guide? giv me sometime, i go find some pictures, u don wanno know my setup.. lousy ;P

unusual, if u connect with that, u are listening to 2 x monaural sound lah

no they aint the same, 2 x monorual will nv act the same compare to a true stereo.

try imagine, a car pass by from right to left of ur screen. stereo sound can be shaped like moving from right to left but not 2x mono.

i am not on proper audio mode yet now

now i just bypass my stereo sound to my soundcard and upmix them to 5.1

ur convertor got rosak or not?

ehm must be some where went wrong, can u take a picture of everything u did?

sry guys, i am based in Penang.
for KL, i think u better find Djin

lol mono and stereo, big differ.

read the audio guide i wrote earlier

congratulation for the DD100, it work on a charm for typical 'analog' 5.1 speakers, but not recommended due to the i price tag retailed.

u can anytime get a sony STR DG 500 (AV Receiver that do much more) at the price of 700 +/-

go buy those AV Selector, pretty cheap niah.

For xbox 360 to work/playback in 5.1 dolby digital mode, you need optical connection (called toslink), its basically 1 cable, from ur xbox vga/component cable root, connect all the way to a 'receiver', be it standalone AV receiver / amplifier, speakers.

None of the edifier accepts optical in yet as far as i know.

To make it work, u got many options

Cheapest one, should be, buying the Creative AC/3DTS decoder box for ur 5.1 speaker.

not all creative speakers has internal decoder.

that decoder, hard to find, if u can find one, i think is at the region of 500 - 600 ?

z5500 can do the AC3 decoding with X360 no problem.

I remember sawing someone in forum selling denon AV receiver @ RM 6xx i think
