Can I use this cable from a pc to a home theater system?

Not quite sure if it will work for that purpose but it is worth a try. The connectors looks like it can connect to any auxiliary outlet.

Probably not. This cable is a stereo mini cable like a headphone cable. So, you can most likely get the audio out of the headphone jack of your laptop or audio out of your pc, but it is unlikely that you have an audio input to your home theater system that is this size. You can check to see if a headphone cable would fit, and if it Will, maybe it will work. But then of course you might still have level issues. However, for this price you aren't risking much and you can still use the cable to hook up your phone to your car stereo for instance. Hope this is helpful.

As long as the PC and home system have standard headset ports, this will work.

Most likely yes. However, there are some PC's/Laptops that have odd configurations and will not allow for a conversion cable. Unfortunately it is one of those trial and error type things.

yes, as long as you are using it with a home theater system and not live music system

You could plug your PS3 to your PC using an optical audio cable, and then you could use the PC speakers with your PS3

Yes you can. I hooked mine to the TV with a HDMI Cord then attached a 30' USB cord with an inline amp to my computer tower. I ran the wire under the floor to my TV-PC works pretty good. The only thing I'm going to do different soon is get a shorter USB cord due to signal loss which was expected with the 30' cord I am using.

Connect your computer audio output to one of the audio inputs on your receiver. If you have optical out on your pc that will give you the best sound quality. If not, you may have to get audio cables that fit your computer's small jack to the red and white input on your receiver.

You have options when installing this device. In my installation, I simply plugged the USB connector on the device directly into my PC and an HDMI cable from the device to my monitor. Video and were delivered to the monitor. Another option is to use the Audio Out connector on the device to deliver sound to another device such as your home theater receiver. So, the answer to your question is Yes the sound from your computer will play through the speakers of the receiver.

I don't see why not, but you might want to look for the actual home theater version of this. It has the appropriate labels (instead of printer, monitor, laptop etc.).

Can I use a toslink optical cable for a digital audio input. Is it the same thing?

I'm sure you can and I don't see why not, in the case you were only going to connect a gaming system if a blue ray player. I connected my cable and a player. Either way, just go to the input button and switch input options.

If your tv has rca audio outs, then yes you can. In fact, nearly any kind of audio out would work with the right cable (i.e. if your tv only has a 3.55" speaker out, buy a dual rca to 3.55" cord for a few $$). I run mine out from a mixer that is connected to my audio interface on my pc, my tv and my xbox. They make for awesome entertainment speakers... I run them along with a 12" sub as well and it sounds like a movie theater in my bedroom. So the answer is yes...as long as there is some kind of audio out on your tv.

I don't see why not - I'm taking the HDMI output of my PC to a DVI input on a projector with no issues.

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.

Yes, sorta. My tv is an HDTV that has a VGA port and two RCA jacks (Red and white). My laptop has a VGA port and a headphone jack. To get sound from the PC to the tv I have to use an adapter that attaches to one end of the cable (The 3.5 male end), and splits it into the red and white RCA jacks. Works great.

Yes this can be used as it is a simple universal audio 3.5mm jack. It also has a separate input on the side so that a PC and HDTV can be using the speakers simultaneously!

maybe....... There are 3 inputs: one for optical cable, one for coaxial cable, and one for good old RCA cables. If your PC has any of these as an audio out it will work.

You could, but there are no RCA inputs which is usually the most common connection on a home receiver. Other than having a connection type adapter you should be able to use it. Make sure and turn off the backlit logo as it might be a little bright in a theater room.
