What do i need to get to use my surround sound?

best multimedia speaker system with subwoofer image

I just got a 5.1 surround sound computer/multimedia speakers system, made by limitless creations X806. It has 3 input audio jacks, center/sub, rear and front. And the size of these does not fit into just the regular dvd player. Is there a receiver or certain type of adapter cord that I can buy to use all of my surround sound at once.

Answer
You bought computer speakers that need to be hooked up to a computer, not a DVD player. It has no surround sound decoding built in. That is why the three audio plugs. The three jacks are to be hooked up to a computer surround sound audio card that has the three audio jacks.

So for your DVD player, you would need a surround sound decoder in order for those speakers to work. You hook up the digital audio output of the dvd player to the decoder and the speakers hook up to the audio jacks. Make sure you hook them up correctly. Front L/R, Center/Subwoofer, Rear L/R.
