Answer 1

To clear up any confusion, the guy with the shoe phone is technically correct. TSR stands for tip, ring, send. The term originated with old MaBell in the early telephone days.  They used 1/4" diameter jacks. These days, we use mini jacks for portable stereo and computer equipment, and we use micromini jacks sometimes for cel phones.

If you want the Radio Shack guy to understand you, you'll have to ask for "stereo mini jacks." Where "tip" is right channel positive, "ring" is left channel positive and "send" is negative for both.

The other end on the second picture is in fact called RCA Pin Plug.

Answer 2

the first set are 3 stereo-mini connectors for 6-channel mostly is for PC audio cards to get multi-channel surround sound like with the  Logitech Z-680 5.1CH Speaker System, surround sound system for a pc.

the second set appears to be mini-plug to rca stereo.like the one to connect the ipod to a audio receiver in the case of the above system is to connect the Digital SoundTouch Control Center and DVD player.
