New member Username: The_muffin_manPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-07 | hey guys, just bought a new home theater consisting of the following: 32" Philips LCD TV (Model Number:32pfl7532d) Kenwood Home Theater Package, consisting of amp, sub and 5 speakers (Model Number: sat5120) Samsung Upscaling DVD Player (Model Number: dvd1080p7) i brought it all home and made the following connections: DVD player connects to TV/Video via HDMI DVD player connects to AMP/Audio via Optical Xbox 360 connects to TV/Video via Composite Xbox 360 connects to AMP/Audio via Standard left\right analogue rca's TV connects to AMP/Audio via Coaxial PC conects to AMP via the following method: starts with a 3.5mm to 2 rca cable which plugs into the green audio in input on my PC, the cable didnt come in a long enough length so i had to buy a 2 rca to 2 rca adaptor and then a 2 rca to 2 rca cable which then connects to my amp via standard left\right audio. If that doesnt make sense then these are the cables i used: The 3.5mm plug goes in my PC [IMG]http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd253/rhys925/CC399AC_LR.jpg[/IMG] the 2 rca's from the first cable, go into this adaptor [IMG]http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd253/rhys925/Adpt-RcfRcf2.jpg[/IMG] one end of this cable is connected to the adaptor and the other to the amp. [IMG]http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd253/rhys925/s_46000508.jpg[/IMG] The problem im having is that when i play music through my PC im only getting sound out of one speaker, all the other units come though on all 5 speakers perfectly. The AMP has 1 coaxial input being used by my TV and 1 optical being used by my DVD Player, it has about 8 red\white rca inputs though and im using my 360 though one of them with no problems. Ive tried using different rca channels/inputs and it doesnt work in any of them, ive also tried my 360 in the other rca inputs which worked fine, this leads me to believe its not a problem with the amp but rather a connection problem from my PC, when i go into my sound settings on my PC and do a sound test of my speakers i still only get sound through one speaker, this also tells me its not a problem with the application im using to try and listen to music. In case it matters, my motherboard is an Abit IP35 (Basic model, not pro). Any suggestions? is there another way i can connect the pc? it has optical IN but i cant use it as im already using the optical on my AMP for my dvd player. It also has the following coloured 3.5mm inputs: Grey/White Black Orange Pink Blue Any help would be greatly appreciated! cheers, Rhys |
