Thanks everyone for their suggestions. I had asked an earlier question about composite inputs on the TV. What I had meant to ask was COMPONENT inputs. Are these new? I know about S-video. Are these better?

That sounds good. So to make sure I have it straight, I would connect my DVD and TV normally using the A/V jacks. Then I would connect my DVD(line out?) to the line in on my sound card. BTW, this should be a temporary solution until I get enough money to buy a decent receiver and 5.1 speakers. Hopefully this should tide me over. This brings up a couple of other questions. Would the setup described above give me surround sound, or just right and left separation? Also, I see TVs that have composite inputs. Are those the same as A/V inputs? thanks Usedmedia quote: Originally posted by Torinalth: hmmm, yall are doing it a kinda hard way dont ya think? what I did was take my VCR(dvd player in yer case) and had the sound output going into the line in on my soundcard. so its all good. if yer comp is not in the same room yer still golden. you can use converter jacks from rca to 1/8" jacks and use Y splitters to sepperate left and right. quality won't be as good as through the sound card but it will work. then again you could also buy a seperate amp for yer system, you can get a fair one for around 60 bucks, then have alle the sound going to the amp then attatch yer speakers that way. there are tons of possibilitys, if you still don't like yer options then E-mail me and I'll see what I can figure out for ya.

The headphone jack on my TV? I'm a little confused...I didn't know TV's usually came with those kind of jacks. Are there other alternatives? quote: Originally posted by fawwaz: Yes I do think you need the Cp1 ,once you have it you can use a 1/8"jack from the Cp1 to the headphone jack of your TV(or...) and enjoy the sound!!!!!!

I'm buying a new TV and DVD player for my home theatre system and was interested in using my v.2-400's as my speakers. I also want my computer hooked up as well to play mp3's. Is this sort of setup possible, or practical? What kind of inputs will I need on my TV? How would I go about wiring this? Will I need to buy the CP-1? I was thinking about buying it anyway because of the constant scratchiness when I adjust the volume. When it comes to home audio I'm fairly inexperienced so hopefully these questions don't sound too dumb.
