Can I connect my dvd directly to the speakers using an rca cable?

Ann, These speakers need to connect to a receiver or amplifier. You can then connect the DVD player sound to the amplifier or receiver as well.Eric C

If you mean the RCA plugs, I don't think so. The connections on the back of my speakers are bare wire connections.

Hi Ann Maxwell,No, you need an amplifier or a receiver to output audio. Thanks. >Joffrey

No, the speakers only have connection ports for standard copper speaker wires. An A/V receiver with RCA connections for your DVD player can get the sound to these speakers to offer a typical set up.

I did not use the RCA connectors..the back of my receiver is mostly set up for my computer system. I just spliced another speaker wire into each speaker output--left and right, input and ground, and plugged the two wires from each side into their corresponding connections on the SW. It works great this way....took longer to strip the existing wires than it did to set up the sub.

You should be able to. The player had RCA, component, S-video and HDMI connections.

You need a receiver/home theater to hook speakers to for true surround sound. DVD is optional and would run thru your receiver/home theater system.

the RCA connections are only for input to the amplifier it has four speaker wires coming out. if this doesn't answer your question please provide a little more detail on what your trying to do and I will try to help.s the first thing I would recommend is not buying this amplifier.

This comes with 2 cables (2-wire to RCA Red and 2-wire to RCA black). One cable will be for the left speaker and the other cable would be for the right speaker. As long as your speakers use a 2 wire connection then this should be able to connect those speaker to any equipment using a RCA output jack.

These speakers are not self-powered. Thus you need to have the DVD player go through an amplifier or receiver before going to the Bose 161's via speaker level output.

you have to hook up the DVD player to and AV receiver which will be connected to your 5.1 speaker system; the DVD does not have any amplifier

From the back of the DVD player in the aux in use RCA jacks then to the back of your direct tv box or whatever cable provided box put the RCA cables in the audio out!

You will need an amplifier or receiver to attach to your computer thru RCA or line out. There is no way to connect direct with out the amplifier or receiver.

Yes, you can. There is an audio in jack on the front panel. You will just need to get a cable that is mini-jack to rca.

Dear Sir, Does your DVD/BluRay have audio input RCA interface? If it has such interfaces, you can apply a RCA to 3.5mm adapter to make it work.

They use speaker wire, not RCA cables, to connect to an audio source. Few TVs have output for external speakers, so your TV will need to be hooked up to an audio receiver, with RCA cables, then you're going to hook up the speakers to the audio receiver with speaker wire.

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways.Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

No. I bought one to do the same thing, but it wasn't the correct item because it converts "FROM" VGA, not "TO" VGA. There is another device (it's powered and about the size of a cell phone - it also costs between $25-$35) that converts RCA signals (from your DVD player) to a VGA monitor. You need a VGA cord (both male ends) to connect your monitor to the converter. I am assuming you have an answer for the sound part, since a computer monitor has no sound, with external computer speakers. I needed a splitter that takes the white and red RCA cords (left and right channel sound) out of the DVD player and turns them into a female connector for a standard input/output mic-style jack for my computer speakers.

You can connect this system directly to your TV or your receiver. If you don't have a receiver and are looking to buy one, I recommend pairing this with the Harman-Kardon-AVR-1700-Network-Connected Audio/Video Receiver with AirPlay (ASIN: B009HB2USI). In short, no, you do not need a DVD player to make this speaker system functional.

The speaker wire connector has a slot down the center, this fits into the dvd players input which has a slot. Not sure if this helps you. The inputs must be rated 3 ohm as well.
