Cheapest home cinema system with optical inputs.

"Home-Cinema" system, RCA-Phono lead from TV, but it needs PC 3.5mm inputs - which adaptor, exactly?

  • Hi, Like it says, the Panasonic TV has Phono-outputs (JUST RED AND WHITE) that I want to use to feed the sound-signal into a 5.1 surround-sound system, but it seems it's been built more for PC use, as it has 3.5mm Jack inputs (GREEN FOR "FRONT", BLACK FOR "REAR", AND A PALE ORANGE JACK FOR "SUB/CENTER") - has anyone met this problem before, and can you tell me what adaptors overcome it? It's actually my Cousins', we bought the 5.1 in Maplins, and I guess that is where we will have to return to for the adaptors - but does anyone know EXACTLY what is needed? Many thanks.

  • Answer:

    "...but it seems it's been built more for PC use" It's built ONLY for PC use. "anyone met this problem before..." Anyone who has mistakenly bought a PC speaker system and tried to hook it up to a television will have met that problem before. "and can you tell me what adaptors overcome it?" There are none. The problem cannot be overcome. "but does anyone know EXACTLY what is needed?" A home cinema system, designed for use with a television is what's needed.

You can not use computer speaker for tv use. The tv should only have an optical audio output, which is a digital signal that has to be decoded by a receiver or a home theater in a box with an optical audio input or a sound bar. Those home theater in a box are not flexible for adding anything to them or upgrading. They are designed for you to watch a movie with surround sound only. True surround sound are encoded in either Dolby Digital or DTS only, which you will find in DVD, Blu Ray disc movie, some PS3 or Xbox and few cd. Hope this will help you out.
