What connections does the logitech z-5500 have?

Question

Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 505-Watt 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System

Logitech states that its z-5500 can simultaneously connect to six components and mentions that it can be connected to a PC. The system uses optical cable. My television and sattelite Directv HD receiver don't have optical connections. Appogee makes an HDMI Optical switch. I also have an HDMI 3-1 switch by Terk. Would an HDMI Optical switch with an HDMI splitter to the television work for the purpose of connecting Logitech z-5500 to the HDTV? Is the PC connection either USB or RGB? How does this Logitech sound system work out of the box?

For the buck Logitech sounds like a sound solution for a complete gaming console, television, and PC experience. Does anyone agree or know of something better?

To review, I'm interested in wanting to use the Logitech Z-5500 for surround sound from my television connected to PS3, XBOX 360, and WII and my computer through VGA to the HDTV. Would it work this way?

Answer 2

The Z-5500 has both digital optical and coaxial inputs as well as three mini stereo jacks for connection to a 5.1 laptop/computer output. You can always use mini stereo to duakl RCA adapters for other options.

I haven't used the Z-5500, but have a similar Z-680, and the inputs can be selected via the input selector switch on the controller module. That means you can connect just about anything you like to the Z-5500.  At worst, you might need an outboard A/V selector to connect all you want simultaneously  ... despite logitech's claim to be able to connect 6 things simultaneously.

For the $$ the Z-5500 will give you pretty good sound ... but it isn't a substitute for a true surround sound HT system. That said, I'm satisfied with the Z-680 for a den music system and for DVDs on my den HDTV.
