hi all.
i have had and still got my sharp surround system i no longer use and was wandering if its possible to connect it to my pc.
my issue is that the surround system is bare cable, the sort you clip into the main unit so is there a way i can connect this to my pc.
i can connect the whole system no problem but im wandering if i can just connect the 2 larger speakers and sub.
product is here listed with specs etc.

i no longer have the dvd-rw but the surround is still in perfect working order.
hopefully some1 can enlighten me.
if all else fails im looking for a speaker setup.
nothing fancy and prob around the 40-50£ price tag
ideas are welcome
Mick

Re: connecting surround system to my pc
For this 5.1 surround system your Soundkarte must 6 enters to have, otherwise will not work. Or you can take other player or other divices which can via 2 enters with Soundkarte to connect and this divice connect too with your surround system, also this device as Amplifier (Adapter) to connect. So can work, I used a long time before buy for me true soundkarte. No other exit, I think.

Re: connecting surround system to my pc
If you have Audio L+R OUT on the rear of the unit then you can usually use a simple RCA to 3.5mm lead. I use this method whenever I hook my laptop up to my main sound system
This site has some info on a few different ways to hook things up.
