    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    Hello, my name is Timothy. I'm a member here because some HFT members helped me a few years ago to set up an old receiver someone gave me. I'd like to win this receiver because my parents have been using the awful speakers built in to the TV since the dawn of time. They were considering an...

    Hey Jerome, Before you made your suggestion, I jumped the gun a bit and ordered some supplies off of Amazon that I thought would work. Basically, I have about a two-foot-long 3.5mm cable, and that would be what would go into the sub out of the subwoofer. But, as I said, the subwoofer jack on...

    Ignore that. I did a little bit of research and this is my best guess as to what you might be referring to: That seems to be what you're talking about, except I have another problem; the sub out port won't seem to accept the 3.5mm cable. If you're talking about something else, then my...

    It seems as though the G9 cord you're talking about actually did not come with the speaker set; they talk about it a lot, but the only G9-like cable I seem to have is the Y-adapter that allows a G9 input and outputs to a set of RCA cables. If I'm wrong, I totally concede, but that manual is...

    Okay, so I buy speaker wire, and jimmy-rig the speakers directly to the receiver, right? You confused me a little bit with the G9 cord... can you give me links to what you're referring to? And also, once I get this G9 cord and hook it up to the sub-out of the receiver by the miniplug to RCA...

    Actually, a friend has already given me a similar suggestion. Behold! http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Console-Adapter-Convert-Single-Pc/dp/B0006U3ACY I'm aware that I lose out on true 5.1 while I'm using this, but as long as it works, it's cool by me, just until I get a set of real speakers...

    Thank you! F***! Now, if I plug them into the headphone jack, that will only give me two channels of sound, and not the five; right?

    Okay, try to bear with me, because it's confusing as sin. A couple of years ago, I bought a set of Coby 5.1 speakers, model number CS-P94, which are no longer available. They have the standard gray and black wires that go into the red and black inputs on the speakers themselves. Those wires...
