Home Music Speakers

I want to listen to Yahoo Radio stations on my louder home theater system instead of the smaller laptop speakers. I have an Onkyo receiver that has surround sound speakers and I would like to set up my computer to play music from online radio stations at a party I am having. Is this possible?

I use the ROKU Soundbridge to stream all the music on my PC to my pool area. It works both wired and wireless and only costs about $100.

Or, you can by an RCA Y cables that goes from headphone jack on your laptop to an RCA inpupt on your receiver.

I have had a 5.1 home cinema system in a box before but found that (a) the sub-woofer was too 'boomy' even when turned down; and (b) the sub was too over bearing if I wanted to listen to music. I wonder if there is a system or set-up that doesn't use, or need a sub and allows the user to switch to 2 front speakers for listening to music?

I personally like the Denon brand although many will have the options needed to help you out. A good brand of speaker would be DCM. Here are some things to look for that should help you out if they are available on your system.

First, there should be a crossover setting that determines what frequency range is sent to the subwoofer. Many companies will set this high to force extra bass. It is how many people decide on which system to purchase and makes up for lower quality speakers that have a very limited range.

Second, you are looking for a setting that gives you a plus or minus on the db to each speaker. This allows you to personally contour your speakers to your room. If one speaker has to sit further away then you boost it or if another happens to be right over your shoulder you might reduce the output.

Unfortunately, this is a common problem with Home Theater in a Box (HTIB) systems. Not all but many, including big name brands, are putting poor responding speakers with less intelligent receivers. There is a market for them, I owned some at one time. If you find yourself spending more money on a HTIB system then you should consider entry level separate components for a similar price.

As an example, I can give my customers an excellent alternative for $900 that will sound better and last longer than HTIB systems.

You need a "jack to RCA" cable.

Here is a picture of what you need: http://www.daydeal.com/files/images3/blk _rca_cable.jpg

I just want to know if there is way to use the surround sound speakers as my computer speakers without burning songs onto a cd.

Can't use just the speakers. Can use a Y plug that plugs into headphone jack of the pc and has two male rca plugs on the other end. Plug this into the AUX jacks on your reciever and play the music on your computer through your surround receiver set on the AUX mode. Wish I had the time to try this, but you might be able to split the Y plug wire in two and wire this wire directly to the speaker wires
