Y adapter cables

Most home receiver/amplifiers have RCA-type input

connectors. You may need to connect Y adapter

cables between your PC and your receiver/

amplifier. Y adapter cables have one

1/8-inch (3.5 mm) stereo minijack on one end and

two RCA connectors on the other end. These cables

are purchased separately.

The number of Y adapter cables you need to

connect to your home stereo system depends on the

number of speakers you install:

■ 2/2.1 speaker system: 1 Y adapter cable

■ 4/4.1 speaker system: 2 Y adapter cables

■ 6/5.1 speaker system: 3 Y adapter cables

■ 8/7.1 speaker system: 4 Y adapter cables

Connecting a home stereo to a PC typically requires

audio cables that are long enough to connect from

the PC to the stereo. You may also need to purchase

RCA or mini-extension cables.
