Surround Sound Speakers Systems

Ive just received a new surround sound speaker system that is quite old but very good quality, It has a rca (red and white) to input my xbox 360, tv and pc. Is there a way to connect them all to the same system? What will i need? Thankyou very much

The only way is connect your XBox and TV to a surround receiver and use its input selector. Buying an input selector alone wont do you any good if it doesnt have an amp to power the speakers.

I have my HDTV, PS2, PS3, DVD, satelite box, DVR and xBox all running thru my Onkyo, and works awesome.

So if you dont have a surround receiver, then you will need to get one. Good luck.

Hooking up surround-sound speakers is step one to setting up a home theater. Knowing where to position your surround-sound speakers — subwoofers ...

Here's the link: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-Home -Theater-Component-System-HT7100DH/sem/r psm/oid/174934/catOid/-12954/rpem/ccd/pr oductDetail.do

They will work either way you place them depending on your preferance.

Don't bother taking a yard stick out and measuring your room... They don't care and really don't have a clue.

In the manual there will be a section on setting it up. They are going to lead you through several areas... where the speakers are located in respect to where you sit. How high off the ground they are etc etc.

Good rule of thumb, is to keep the right and left front speakers about 3 feet to either side of the TV, and the backs should be the in the same spot across the room, at ear level.

When they ask how far the front speakers are from you, they are setting up the surround, so you hear it properly. so make sure you get that as close to on the nut as you can.

I didn't get a real good look, however they all seemed to be the same speaker with possibly the exception of the center. Which should be placed on top of the TV by the way, so you shouldn't have to worry about which speaker goes where, they are all the same, regardless of what the little speaker on the back says.

If you are able to use your own speaker wire, which I presume you won't with this package, I recommend getting better wire than comes with the package. It's going to sound and work a lot better that way.

if the surround sound speakers are hooked up to the TV, does the TV speakers actually work, or does the sound only come from the speakers of the surround system?

That depends if the problem is with the speakers or with the audio section of the TV or perhaps in the tuner. You should get a estimate to see if it can be fixed. A quick try of a surround sound system could not hurt, but it is not guaranteed to work.

My surround sound system is busted(dvd player) but the speakers are still good. Do I have to buy a whole new surround sound system or can I just replace the dvd player with something else?

You should buy a receiver only.
