Want to connect Creative 5.1 Speakers to TV?

Question

Want to connect Creative 5.1 Speakers to Samsung LCD TV and simulteneously also connect PC to LCD TV. But the TV has only stereo In & Out. Need to get 5.1 channel effect.

Answer 1

If you get speakers with built in decoders you can hook digital sends from both your TV and your computer to the speakers and get your surround sound the way you want it. Creative does make some speakers that will do that. You would need speakers with 2 digital inputs.

Answer 2

Use RCA component cables. From your tuner:

Video source ( cable, dish ) to video in

From your tuner - video & audio out to TV video & audio in.

Normal speaker connections from your tuner.......

Switch to source video selection to "Aux" ( see your owners manual.

You should have a clear audio connection.
