DespirateCollegeStudent | I have a Sanyo 3 disc CD changer with a video function and in the back of the component there are AV hook-up (red and white input).I want to hook the speakers in my dorm room to the TV and the stereo. the thing is is that my TV is old and it doesnt have AV hookups only a cable input. but im not sure how to hook this up if you can give me some help it would be greatly appreciated. |
|
cchowa | The only way I would know to do it is adding a stereo VCR. You would put the cable from the wall into the VCR and then run cable from the VCR to the television. Then run RCA cables from the stereo outputs of the VCR into the Sanyo component. This should give you the cable audio signal through your speakers attached to the Sanyo unit. |

Anonymous | I have the same problem as the "DespirateCollegeStudent". That is I want to hook my old decrepid tv to my stereo w/out any audio outs on my tv(just the coax out). Oh, by the way, I have a mono vcr! What to do? I've tried to hook up rca's from stereo out to vcr except there is one audio out. well i just want to know if there is any adapters out there that would be able to take the place of the stereo vcr. |

Matt D | There is a cord that you can buy at stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, ect. ($6-10$)It allows you to run the computer speaker sounds through your stereo. On the back or side depending on the computer, you have a port for regular speakers, on a lap top, there is one for headphones. This special cord has an end that will go into the speaker port on the computer and it has two (2) RCA Plugs on the other end. (Red and White) Those go into the back of your stereo receiver. Then turn the stereo on and have at it. Hope this helps! |

Does anyone have experience with the RCA Dimensia amp model #MSA200 Thank you in advance from Canada |

Unregistered guest | I want to hook up my computer to my stereo speakers. BUT my stereo is a dumb one with no aux setting and no sound in, i guess, only a place to plug headphones into it. So basically I only have a computer with a cable that can have a single end or I have an extension that gives it a double end. And these speakers that only have the bare wires coming out of them. Is there any way that I can hook them together with an adapter or do I need an amp in the middle? |

Unregistered guest | I am playing around and I found an old, small speaker unit from a child toy. I would like to see if it works elsewhere. It has 8 horseshoes, and is 0.25W (watts? could it be 25?), positive & negative wires are marked. Serial # 220RB326, Manuf. by SAMMI for a VTech toy. Does it also need a separate power source or can it be wired to a small radio (i.e. dollar-store radio)? Is there a way to wire this to a standard earphone jack? Please, no messages telling me it's not worth it. ---<jfurchak@student.lssu.edu>--- |

Bronze Member Username: Jdsaenz1Post Number: 83 Registered: Jun-04 | The rca's on the back may be inputs, so they are not meant to be connected to a surround receiver, speakers, etc. There are other ways to connect to a stereo, surround receiver, etc. if you don't have audio outputs. |

Audio Phreak Unregistered guest | ok im going to help, because i think everyone should have some basic knowlage of how a stereo TV VCR DVD player hooks into a reciver and the to your speakers. First and foremost, you cant hookup speakers to a tv without an intermedium, hence a reciver. A reciver is that rectangle box that has all the buttons and knobs on it. The big knob controls the volume or loudness of it. (I apoligize to those of you that know what components and DAC's are but there are some out there that will benifit from this.) In order to connect a TV to a Reciver you need wires. The most common type of wire as of about the year 2000 is the RCA cables. You really cant mess up putting in RCA cables because they are COLOR CODED to suit anyones needs, and no they dont come in that cute pink color that matches your new purse ladys. Typically they are Red and White for a stereo setup. Simply locate the 2 rca OUTPUTS on the back of your TV labled "out" or "to reciver" place the red with the red and the white with the white. place the other end of the rca cord into the reciver labled TV in or Video "In". To hook up your speakers do the same thing put the black part of the wire into the black plug in the back of the reciver and the black end into the black part of the speaker. Do the same with the red part of the wire. NOTE: Do all of this with the power turned off of your equipment. Hopefully that helps. |

Audio Phreak Unregistered guest | As far as speakers "Blowing you away" all you need is a speaker setup with a reciver that have close to the same Wattage. For a room thats around 100-130 square feet 10feetX10feet - 10feet-13feet. All you need is about 50Watts of total power. its all realitive. Or you can be like me and want to shake things off the wall in your room and hook up a 600Watt reciver to 5 100Watt speakers and a 150 Watt subwoofer. However you definatly dont need this much power... The system is in the basment of my house and you can hear it quite clearly outside the house(which is one floor up). Heres an idea for those of you that want to make a system that dominates. Start with your speakers, they are the mainstay of your system, if you spend 100$ on your speakers for a 5.1 surround system you only want to spend around 50-75$ for your reciver. If you spend 1000$ on your speakers spend 5-600$ on your reciver. Get a DVD player with the optical out or coaxial out digital DTS or Dobly Digital outputs and get a reciver that has DTS and Dobly Digital decodeing. Get any TV you want because its all a matter of opinion when it comes to TVs, I run a 27" monitor with S-Video and Component In features. A 5 disk CD player comes in handy and cheap at around 50-80$ for a good one. Then get a VCR, come on people if you dont have one yet get one its only 80$ for a top of the line SONY model now. Have fun planning away. |

Bronze Member Username: TipstirPost Number: 43 Registered: Sep-04 | How many audio inputs do you have in this surround sound system. If you only have the one you'll need audio switch box to add more audio inputs if your present system doesn't have the inputs. The PC you'll need what is called in the business a Y connector - 1/8 male connector and two male RCA white and red connectors. |

Unregistered guest | I have an Audiovox stereo system (all in one - cd, tape, radio), which came with speakers. However I just found an old (1997) Sony portable stereo/boombox (almost a combination). I only have 1 set (4) of speaker wire ports. When I tried hooking two pairs of speakers to what was supposed to only hold one (probably a bad idea) the stereo blew out. I really want the power and want to pay less then $10. Is there any adapter or splitter or anything? THANKS!! |

VolumeIsTooLow Unregistered guest | I am looking to build my own speakers for my hifi. My hifi's input is a normal set of speaker inputs (2 black and 2 red). What I was wondering is, do car speakers use this type of connection? And if they do, is there any way to connect more than one speaker to each pair of inputs (1 red and 1 black)? This is so I could have two or three separate speakers inside one shell, and create a superspeaker. Obviously, I would be making two of these. |

Bronze Member Username: JbecvarPost Number: 60 Registered: Mar-05 | What type of output does your computer's soundcard have? If it's just a single plug you'll need the adapter to output it into stereo that the amp can use. If it has stereo output, then you just need to use a stereo audio cable. If you have a high end soundcard, you might be able to hook up with digital coaxial cable, or even fiber optic cable, provided your amp has those types of inputs too. |

Gold Member Username: Paul_ohstbucksPost Number: 2193 Registered: Jan-05 | You'll need a power supply(receiver) to use those, and you'll probably barely be able to hear anything out of them. The cheapo computer speakers(i think)have a power source built in, and that's the only reason they play. Somebody might want to add to my comment, because I never paid attention to my computer speakers before, but external speakers that arent powered wont work. |

Of course none of this makes any sense to me when trying to apply this to computer hook-up. Help me if you can. |
