How Good Is THIS Home theater system?

Respital · 04-12-2008, 10:41 PM

Well i was looking at my Sony point and realized i have enough to get a free Home theater system.

Yea you probably think what does this have to do with my computer...well i was wondering if i could hook it up to my computer.

(specs in sig)
Just like i hook up normal computer speakers..

If i can't how good would it be of a home theater system for a tv?

Anything is much appreciated.

Yes, you will be able to hook it up, but you may need to buy cables.

It looks like 5.1, so you probably need the colored minijack cables, but I'm not quite sure.

yea just use ones that have a headphone jack on one side a 2 RCAs on the other end thats how i have my 5.1 system on my computer

Okay thanks everyone, how good would it be for a tv?

Very good. I would guess that it isn't worth $500 but is still a solid system. what are "sony points", and can you get anything on that site? i think i would get a ps3.

Sony isn't exactly known for their home theater systems, but if you can get it for free then I'd say go for it. Not surprisingly there aren't many specifications on the speakers.
