Getting Started (features vary by model)
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
6/5.1 speaker system: Three Y adapter cables
8/7.1 speaker system: Four Y adapter cables
Connecting a home stereo system to a computer requires audio cables that are long
enough to reach from the computer to the stereo. You also must purchase Y adapter or
mini-extension cables.
NOTE: Y adapter and mini-extension cables are purchased separately.
