CONNECTING YOUR COMPUTER TO YOUR STEREO SYSTEM
CONNECTING YOUR COMPUTER TO YOUR STEREO SYSTEM
PC computer manufacturers have always felt that high quality digitized sound
was impossible, and therefore have never paid much attention to the speaker.
The volume and quality of the sound will be affected by the location and size
of the speaker and by the speaker enclosure.
You can easily connect your computer to a stereo system or boom box and greatly
improve the sound quality and volume. Follow the steps below. The parts can
be obtained from your local Radio Shack or other electronic components dealer.
Parts required: 6' to 12' shielded cable with RCA plug (male) on one end
Two alligator clips
One 4.7 uf capacitor
Step 1. Connect one alligator clip to the shielded portion of the cable.
Step 2. Connect the (-) minus side of the capacitor to the center conductor of
the cable and then connect the (+) side of the capacitor to the second
alligator clip.
Step 3. Unplug your computer and remove the cover.
Step 4. Attach the clip with the capacitor to one of the wires going to your
computer's speaker. Attach the other clip to the metal case (ground)
somewhere (such as a screw or bolt connection).
Step 5. Connect the RCA plug to the auxiliary input on your stereo system or
boom box.
Step 6. Turn on the system and run a sound program. If sound does not come from
the stereo, move the alligator clip (with the capacitor) to the other
speaker wire.
If you'd like to connect your computer to your stereo but don't want to make
