What do I need to use my bose acoustimass system with my television and my computer?

Question

I bought the acoustimass 5 speaker system. To hook it up to my television do I need to buy a receiver of some sort, or can i just hook them up straight to my television? The other question I have is, Can i hook those speakers up to my computer as well as my television? So I don't need two different set of speakers.

Answer 1

Yes, you need to get a 5.1 receiver. The Acoustimass is basically just a set of surround speakers and a sub. All the surround speakers connect to the sub (or "module" as they call it) but you still have to connect the sub to a receiver. You can then connect both your tv and pc to this receiver (along with anything else you want to listen to).
