I have a pair of Sony speakers with the traditional speaker wire (red and black stripped wire) connections. I wish to connect these to my DVD player, which has RCA connections etc. I am not sure what to do and was wondering if anyone could help me? (If there is an adapter I can buy, or some way of stripping an RCA cable or SOMETHING!!) I would really appreciate someone's help, as there does not seem to be much info on this at all! |

An RCA connection transmits audio, while a speaker wire transmits power. A DVD player does not produce power, it sends a signal to an AMP which produces power.
You need a receiver. The Panasonic all digital goes for $250 and will compliment your Sony speakers well. |

I have a related question.
Receiver has clip type plugs for 2 wire and have 2 wire cable. Speakers have rca plugs.
Can it be done? There are no rca speaker points on the receiver.
Thanks,

RadioShack is your friend. They'll hook you up for a few bucks. |

Thanks. I went to Radio Shack and picked up rca plugs but when reading the instructions on the back it says that both a positive nd ground must be connected. The speaker wire is two wires.
Does this mean that both wires from the receiver go to one rca plug?
Sorry for being so dense. The hardware etc. is many miles from so I'm helping (???) them by phone.
Thanks,

Eddie,
For the good of the forum, why don't you jump in the car and drive to Conroe and help?
This thread is hurting my head.

Chris,
If you think this thread hurting your head, don't look into it. Some of us are not as knowledgeable as you.
Too bad about your attitude.
