Y adapter cables
Most home receiver/amplifiers have RCA-type input connectors. You must connect Y
adapter cables between your computer and your receiver/amplifier. Y adapter cables
have one 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) stereo mini-jack on one end, and two RCA connectors on the
other. These cables are purchased separately.
The number of Y adapter cables that you need to connect to your home stereo system
depends on the number of speakers that you install:
2/2.1 speaker system: One Y adapter cable
4/4.1 speaker system: Two Y adapter cables
