Is it possible to use a DVD home theater system as a PC sound receiver?

Jamil T asked:


My current computer speaker’s receiver stopped working. Instead of buying a new receiver i was wondering if it is somehow possible to use a DVD home theater system (Sony HT-C800DP) as the receiver? Is there any special cords i need to connect it to my computer? My computer has no special outputs for the player.

      Jamil - If the receiver has a spare RCA type audio input all you need to get is a standard RCA to 3.5mm cable. The 3.5mm end will plug into the headphone jack on the computer and the RCA end plug into the input on the receiver:

      An av switch which you are already using both audio inputs then connect the 35 mm end to buy an open pair of inputs then youll need to rca end to connect the red connector to rca end to the right channel and connect the 35mm to buy an av switch which you just.
