Problem for Logitech X-540 Computer Speakers
How to connect my Logitech X-540 speaker system to my dvd player or tv
I have a Toshiba 65H85C rear projection t.v and a Magnavox MRS90D6 dvd player. What exactly do I need to do to get the speaker system to work, and which would be easier and more effective to connect through. The speaker box says I can connect through a DVD player but I cant figure it out. Do I need auxillary cables? Could someone please explain it as simple as possible. Thank you.

If you can't find the manual for your Toshiba, it is at http://tacp.toshiba.com/tacpassets-images/models/65H85C/docs/65h85c_om_e.pdf
On page 57, it says how to turn off the built-in speakers: you do it with the Toshiba remote. I tried to copy the simple directions, but it is a pdf document, so I can't. However, this is intended to connect the Toshiba to an external audio system-- do you have a receiver or amplifier? you would use this to turn off the Toshiba speakers and use your Logitech speakers connected to either your amplifier, or your DVD. Do you have cable, and would like to hear the sound through the Logitech and not your Toshiba speakers? You can do that from the diagrams in the manual on how to set up your Toshiba with a DVD, Cable, and/or VCR, pretty clear in the Manual.
However, It turns out that your Toshiba has a setting to create a surround sound effect which is rather remarkable, and may actually sound better than your Logitech speakers, which are on the low end of quality. You have to turn it on--see page 55 of the manual--called WOW, from SRS Technologies. It works! you turn it on using your remote. I could find no other easy way to turn off the Toshiba speakers and play the sound through Logitech connected to your Toshiba with the possible exception of turning the Toshiba speakers off, and the Toshiba audio out on, and connecting your logitech to the audio out--but that is a bit consusing, for it is designed to use with the Picture in Picture system. Definitely try the WOW system first, then compare it to the Logitech connected to your DVD or cable box/amplifier.

On the logitech speakers, connect all the colored cables to their coordinating colors on the back of the subwoofer EXCEPT the green one..you need the special Y connector that came with the speakers. (the red, white and green little one). Connect one end of the green cable to the subwoofer, connect the other end to the Y connector. Now you just need to correct the red and white cables from your tv or dvd player into those red and white cables and MWAH!!
Yes
No

More data needed. What sort of speaker system do you have? Do you use the Toshiba built-in speakers, or do you have others?
which shows the back of your DVD player. you connect the speakers to the "audio out", and you will need a cable from the "video out" of the DVD to your Audio system or Toshiba directly. The Logitech comes with a splitter, for which you will need to get an audio cable to connect to the "audio out" of your DVD, and then connect all the cables which come with the logitech to the single end of the splitter. But, as I said, this is really for a computer system, and you won't get true surround sound with the computer unless you have a good sound card. The logitech will simulate surround sound if the sound card isn't good enough. Likely, the Toshiba "WOW" would sound better.

- sorry, I was at a different computer, and the second reposting was just to identify me, and failed. This should do the trick--I researched the problem for you. Please feel free if there remains confusion to tell more about your system.Mar 03, 2008
- To just connect your MSR90D6 to your speakers, and you don't want to connect to an audio system, look at http://www.funai-corp.com/6pdf/om/MSR90D6.pdfwhich shows the back of your DVD player. you connect the speakers to the "audio out", and you will need a cable from the "video out" of the DVD to your Audio system or Toshiba directly.
