What's the best surround sound speaker system for a PS3 and HDTV?




Athiyk Dra


For gaming, Netflix, etc. What would be worth getting for a good price?


Answer
I don't think there's such thing as "best surround sound speaker system for a PS3" but I always suggest this next system from ONKYO because of two reasons: FIRST because it is the top of the line (from ONKYO) and SECOND because it has an incredible value, a complete THX system. I'm talking about the ONKYO HT-S9400THX 7.1 system (@ about $750). This is pretty much an ONKYO TX-NR616 or 626 receiver with all 8 ONKYO (THX) speakers included. Not like your SONY or SAMSUNG systems where you don't have much options to integrate or expand your system. And please don't consider BOSE as they are not even close to the best and you'll end up paying too much. Most people that have BOSE don't know much about audio systems, they just buy it because they believe in all their advertising. And if you don't like the system that I mentioned before for economic reasons or any other reason, you can consider an entry level DENON receiver and some decent JAMO or POLK speakers, you won't regret it. Good luck.

Will Logitech 970223-0403 X-540 5.1 Speaker System work for ps3?(NEED HELP PLEASE)?

Im wondering if the
Logitech 970223-0403 X-540 5.1 Speaker System (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-970223-0403-X-540-Speaker-System/dp/B000JJM8XE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1247718019&sr=8-1)
Will work if i just plug it in the headphone jack in my Tv http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05771528000P?keyword=vizio+32
It has a regular headphone jack and also one for a PC.
Please can anyone tell me if you know?



Answer
NO DON'T BUY THIS ONE....It's not designed for what you want to do. It is designed for PC gaming, not Game consoles. The description of the item lacks detail. But I suspect that it does not have the optical input required fro what you want to do. Your TV Has the capability of bringing in the 5.1 signal and sending the same signal to an A/V receiver. through the optical out (I looked at the TV specs) which would send it out to the speakers connected to it. The only way for this to work however, is that you connect the PS3 to the TV via 1 of the HDMI inputs. Or if you are using component (RGB) you need to get the cables necessary for connecting to the audio inputs that correlate with the RGB input. I don't have a PS3 so I don't know what cables come with it or if the HDMI port actually sends audio as well as video using the HDMI. Whatever you use, if the 5.1 channel signal goes from the PS3 to the TV, you can use the optical cable out to a high end AV receiver ( starting around $250 these days) and the 5.1 surround sound will be presented through the speakers when you select the appropriate input.

How do I get my 2.1, one jack computer speaker system to work with my sound card?




craziness


I actually ended up getting a much higher end onboard sound card with my new system than I expected and now my subwoofer will not wotk with the system. I have two front speakers and a subwoofer that all go through one jack but my new sound card has 6 plugs for things specifically such as front speakers, rear speakers, center/subwoofers etc.. The only way I currently get sound is to plug jack into the "front speaker slot BUT I really do not get any sound out of the subwoofer now. is it possible to get a splitter and plug something into the "rear/subwoofer spot or is my sound card too advaced for a 2.1 system?


Answer
Lol! I would check the connections of your speaker system, it should just work fine. I suspect incorrect connections. You did plug your subwoofer to your speakers right?


Or try hooking your speakers and sub up to a stereo system to make sure your speakers aren't defective. If they work then you know it's just a matter of how you have them hooked up.
