sony receiver/subs/speakers as my pc audio ..help?

ok, I'm a noob to audio. I have this old 500 watt surround sound system I want to set as my computer speakers. The model is STR-K502P. I do not have a sound card (yet?), I have the standard inputs behind my computer that will take normal speakers and headphones, etc.

Here is more information/pictures of my surround sound system

coaxial cables are for a cable/antenna signal ;)

well yeah, this is a surround sound for a tv, i was asking if there was a possible way to get an adapter or..SOMETHING..so the pc could hook up to it.

if your wanting to hook your comp up to that, i think that is what you wanted... You need to get a mini to rca converter, like 6 bucks at best buy. They look like this http//www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2110460&cp=&kw=mini+rca&parentPage=search
Hook the rca up into the aux and the mini into your comp headphone jack, then treat it like any normal hook up. That is what i do for my lappy

woah excellent man, thanks alot.

hows the quality for you?

Absolutely perfect, like cd quality. I also did this in my car to hook my ipod up in there.

I've got a cheap (RadioShack Brand) version of that, and the quality is just fine. I imagine that the Monstor one will have pretty good quality.

Yeah, definately buy the cheapest one you can find. Thats just the first one i could find. Also you will probably keep your comp volume up all the way so you can control the volume with the reciever

good shit. thanks for your help and everyone elses too.

just curious how many watts is your system? mines 100w x 5, so 500 watts.

Mine is a 5.1 with 500 watts also, but i have an onkyo 1000 watt on the way from internetopiniongroup D
