Connecting the music center to a TV or computer

When acquiring equipment, some users face certain difficulties in its connection, especially when it comes to the whole structural scheme. In particular, it is not easy to decide how to connect a stereo system and how to do it correctly.

In addition to the standard use of the music center as a means to listen to audio files, you can connect it to any other audio and video devices, taking maximum advantage of the opportunities provided in this case. Consider how to do this.

Connect to TV

This process does not take much time. The first connection step will be learning connectors original TV and center models. As a rule, their color performance is the samethat is, the connector, for example, red on the TV will be designed to connect audio through the connector of the same color on the stereo system.

Next, prepare the wire with RCA-connectors, it is also called the "tulip". Such a cable can be purchased at any store of the appropriate orientation, the only thing you should immediately notice at its length, which should correspond to the distance between the connected devices.

The next step is, in fact, the connection itself, do not forget to disconnect both models from the electrical network. Check the matching colors of the plugs, attach them.

The end of our process will be the inclusion of both devices in the network and verification of the correctness of their work. It may happen that there will be no sound, do not worry, as a rule, this means that you need to change the mode to AUX.

During the connection, pay attention to the following points:

  1. On TV, the input required for connection is designated as AUDIO OUT, on the music system - AUDIO IN.
  2. If the plug is more expensive, it will contribute to a better sound and long service life. The external difference of such plugs is in their gold plating.
  3. If, for some reason, there are no RCA connectors on the TV, you can connect via SCART via an adapter.

Connect to computer

1 way. You will need:

  • working music system;
  • computer or laptop;
  • 3.5 mm connection cable

It is necessary to connect one end of the cable with one plug to the central socket of the PC, and the other end with a double connection to the audio device. After that, we are looking for the necessary AM-FM frequency and AUX signal.

  • music Center;
  • PC;
  • 3.5 cable;
  • RCA connector;
  • bases made of plastic and metal;
  • insulating tape;
  • soldering iron.

The first step will be to free the cable from insulation, after which the wires will have to be rolled up. Next, we attach the wires to the base of the metal, while the elements will need solder. Connect the wires to the contacts and solder the connection.Laying out with electrical tape also requires a basic audio / video from plastic and metal.

In the event that old headphones were used to form the cord, you need to burn the wire. In general, it will be almost identical to the cable of DVD players.

After that, we look for AUX outputs on the system unit and connect the AV cable from one side to the cord blank, and from the other to the personal computer, then connect the cord to the audio device. Turn on the music center, press AUX, start the music player on the computer. In addition to the center itself, you can also connect speakers.
