So I decided to use my speaks from my PC for my TV so I can do the whole home cinema thing.

The speaker are all cabled in nicely but I dont know how to connect them to my TV ?

The back of the syb has like head phone sockets and the the TV has either one head phone socket, phono is it?, Svideo, HMDI and the ybrp etc connections.. all pictured before. The back of my V+ box has the same as the TV for the HD connection so I guess thats not the right place..

What cables do I need and which holes do I plug them into ???

This is my DVD player too.. I assumed the sound would be coming from TV but included this too..



Now my TV and all the sockets





My sub.. bottom connections are for Speakers, the top used to match the back of my computer, the TV obviously doesnt have them..


V+ box



Connection being used on TV for my Xbox 360 at the moment. Seems to be HD quality


Close up on sockets that I need to connect to TV


Any help would be great this is really confusing me.

Which bit are you actually using as the amp?

I'd guess that you would want all the devices, xbox, tv, dvd and V+, to share the same speakers, and you are wanting to essentially use your sub and it's satellite speakers to do this.

Essentially what you would need to do is to find the audio out on all of the devices and plug them into the back of the sub, as that's where you want the sound to come out of.

The problem with this is that the sub seems to have only one audio input, thus you'd need to have a a few cable splitters to allow multiple devices into one. This isn't exactly ideal to say the least.

Typically what people do in this situation is to get an AV amp/reciver. This will have multiple audio inputs, thus the dvd, xbox, tv and v+ would plug into the amp, then you'd use the speaker outputs to connect to the speakers. From what you've said the speaker cables you have will have the white and red RCA connectors on them and most amps won't accept those for speakers as they tend to use bare wire terminals (clip or screw). Thus you are looking at possibly stripping the ends from your speakers.
