New member Username: MartificiamVilniusLithuania Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-10 | I just got an OPPO OPDV971H DVD player, here's the link to the specs: http://www.oppodigital.com/opdv971h.asp I'm planning to buy Logitech X-530 5.1 surround sound speaker system. The shop assistant told me that I won't be needing a receiver with this one, he told me I just connect those speakers to the dvd player and it's done. However, thsese speakers were meant to be used on a PC, but that's not what I want. They have three cables - green, orange and a black one. The package comes with an adaptor that turns those three connectors into two cables - red and white. I've read on this forum that these only produce 2.1 sound, which is NOT what I want, I want true 5.1 surround sound. How do I connect these speakers to my OPPO OPDV971H DVD player? If I have to buy any additional cables, which ones then? Thanks for any help. |

The X-530 are great, but why is it that bad to use them with a dvd player? I've read this thread and it appears that there's a solution.https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/144744.html |

New member Username: MartificiamVilniusLithuania Post Number: 4 Registered: Aug-10 | Thank you for the recommendation, but my budget doesn't allow that. I only have enough money to buy the Logitech X-530 speakers. What I'd like to know is why did you write 'DON'T BUY THE COMPUTER SPEAKERS FOR HOME THEATER USE ' Don't PC speakers work with a DVD player if connected properly? I'm going to do that on my own by following that thread |

Silver Member Username: Vm8444TorontoCanada Post Number: 282 Registered: Aug-05 | ok then if you can get them to work and you have a question ask someone in that thread. I'm the home theater guy aka theaudioguy.ca not computer geek guy! I'm not sure you'll get true hd sound from your oppo using a left and right from a pin connector. if you can all the best bro! |
