First you need and digital adapter for the TV heres a link to what to buy. Panlong Digital to Analog Audio Converter Digital Optical Toslink/SPDIF or Coaxial Inputs to L/R RCA and 3.5mm Jack Outputs For the PC you hook up the speakers as in the instructions. You hook the Speaker up to the Head phones Out used the adapter that comes with the speakersHope this helps.Vin

Can you provide further details of what you are trying to do? Generally you can only connect one input to a speaker system so either the PC or the HDTV. If the PC has a 5.1 soundcard, the cables that come with the X-530 can be used to hook it up. The quick-connect guide that comes with the X-530 will indicate which connections and where on your sound card. Depending on your HDTV audio outputs, you may need additional cables. If you have the manual of the TV you can look in it to find out what all outputs it has prior to determining which cables you will need.

These cables support 7.1 audio from pc to tv. You just need to make sure you change the audio output in windows after connecting the cable.

Just need a single audio cable and maybe a rca cable for subwoofer. The length may be a problem for the audio but maybe best buy may have that long. Im assuming that you have and audio output in your tv

This system (as far as I could read) has only Audio inputs. HDMI is an audio and video cable. If you are trying to connect this to an HDTV that has an HDMI input, then chances are that it has Digital Audio output too. Simply hook this digital output to the sound system. there will be some finer tweaks you need to workout with the tv such as whether the tv volume controlls the output volume and if the TVs speakers should then be turned off. For more personallized help, most High school to college aged boys/men, and an increasing number of women, have the knowlege required to get it working at a livable level. usually a trip to a Best Buy with a list of the items you have including brand and model number can prove very helpfull too.

yeah but its just a monitor so there will be no sound coming from it. you have to use an external source for the sound. oh for the hdmi you can just buy a $5 adapter from walmart or some other place. disregard my last comment!

What drivers does this require, if any? I have a Win7 HP computer that I want to connect to my Pioneer A/V system which feeds a Bose 5.1 surround system. The Pioneer has only HDMI inputs and 1-optical input. The HP has no HDMI or Optical outputs. Will this card feed the Pioneer. I only want to listen to Spotify and YouTube audio where appropriate. The computer's main task is to be a screen saver feed to the big screen Samsung.

Finding an image of your TV, is looks like there is only a headphone out and coaxial out. So you have two options. 1. The system should have come with a 1/8" to 1/8" (3.5mm), male to male, connection cable to go from the headphone jack on your TV to Aux 1 input on the speaker bar. If not one can be had on amazon for around 5-10 bucks. 2. Or you can get a Digital Coax to Optical Adapter, $13-20. BUT I would suggest the first, as the Pinnacle has no onboard decoding, and you would have to make sure the TV is outputting the COAX to PCM, and is just a mess of cables and adapter.

I have this same receiver with cox cable box as well. I have the HDMI wire running from the receiver to the TV. The second HDMI wire from the cable box to the receiver. It works fine. I had to switch the HDMI port on my TV for some reason? I was not getting video, only sound? I tried a different port and it works fine. My problem is that my 7.1 surround sound speakers sound bad? I feel I have to turn the volume almost all the way up to get it even remotely loud.

No, this one cable was all I needed. I plugged it into the HDMI connection on my TV, and then into my PC. I changed the TV off the channel it has to be on to pick up the cable channels, and then I can see what is on my PC. I control the sound on the TV using my TV remote. The cable quality appears to be very good.

My question to you is "If you are hooking up with an HDMI cable, why are you also using and optical cable?". HDMI carries the complete spectrum of audio and does not require an additional audio cable. You may be confusing either the player and/or your audio receiver.

Could you use the AV Cables that are in the back to hook it up to a portable sound dock? I just purchased one of these off ebay and was either going to get a Red/White Audio spitter to a 3.5mm Coaxial that way I can run it through my portable Bose Sound Dock to enhance the sound (http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Stereo-3-5mm-AUD-1200-25/dp/B0016LTZFI/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514406&sr=1-11) or if that audio channel is dedicated to the Svideo Input, You could buy a Digital to analog converter (http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Audio-Analog-Converter/dp/B0013LWK3A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514478&sr=1-1) and then use a Toslink cable from the MM72 to the Converter and then the RCA cables to whatever you choose. lol Sorry its what I am going to do.

I hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

Just need a Hdmi cable. It will work in pcm, bitstreem, and many other modes.. You also have two digital optic and one digital RCA input for older equipment you may want to use. I suggest you buy good to great HDMI cables, this makes a rather moderate to excexceptional upgrade in both sound and picture quality. The unit also has a good set of tools to tailer your systems digital surround sound to your speaker choices, room acoustic situations, and of course your Own personal tonal qualities. IT'S NOT a $1,000 dollar performer but it well exceeds it's price point in quality and performance/features. The rest lies in your speakers performance capacity. Hope that helped.....

I am sorry for the late response! I hope I am not too late helping you! This graphics card does have great sound quality when using an HDMI cable! It works really great! Especially if you have an HDTV you could connect to your computer! If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask me! Thank you for your time, and have a wonderful day!

Thanks, I ordered the cables but now I'm not sure how to hook it up to my 6.1 Sony receiver. All the rear jack labels match but I have one conflict:The Sony DVD has 2 surround back but my receiver has one. I am currently using the receiver to mix the extra info to the rear (5.1) as I don't have any physical back speakers. If I set the DVD player to 5.1 & omit the cable, will I lose any info? I know it sounds confusing but I just want to make sure the player will send the info to the available speakers.

Have done all this, but how do I get 5.1 sound from the external source? Sound only coming through the front speakers. What input should I be using on the receiver to get 5.1 sound from the external source? TIA.
