Can I have both my computer and stereo amplifier plugged into the speakers, simultaneously. Then choose which to play?

While there are two input options on the back of the speaker (mini-plug and RCA), I don't think you can use them both at once, since there is no mechanism for switching between them. More importantly, however, you would not wish to connect a power amplifier to the inputs of a powered speaker -- those RCA inputs should come from a pre-amp (line-level) source.

Not really. Perhaps only if you connect your stereo receiver via RCA jacks, but even if so, you better not use your receiver and computer at same time or may be problems. If your looking for sharp quality sound I'd shop elsewhere, if you just want loud boombox sound, then maybe you'll like these.

I know nothing about computer speakers, but you can connect to any device that accepts a stereo Y-cable (One end is like a headphone plug and the other end is left and right RCA audio plugs). I use one of these cables to connect to my surround sound amplifier to get virtual surround. Much better results than the onboard sound.

Ummm, no,, You must have an amplifier between your computer and these speakers.

Thanks for your question. Speakers A and B will operate simultaneously. This amplifier will not provide surround sound decoding of movies or TV. This is a fantastic sounding amplifier. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

You just have to select the correct output "mode." There are several options including a stereo. Hope that helps.

This should work for that. I have mine set up to work with an old pair of B&O; speakers, and it sounds great! It's not a super powerful amp, so it won't get all that loud, but it puts out good sound. It has both USB and RCA inputs so you can hook it up to a computer AND another external input.

Yes. Use either Aux or one of the line inputs. Then play everything through it.

Either will work. If you plug into the pre-amp your PC can be one of the components you can select to hear.

You could run both if you use a splitter to convert one of the dual mono outputs to an xlr and then use rca plugins on the other channel

You would need to provide speaker inputs. You can run the audio out of your computer into a inexpesive amp, and them from the amp to the speakers. It works quite well.

You can hook multiple speakers, but you won't get all the music from them. The amp is mono meaning it plays only one channel of music. Stereo music has two channels (at least) and needs both playing to sound "correct" This is not the right amp for that setup.

you will need an amp or receiver to power the 2 speakers. the sub has an amp built in. so no, you can't hook up the computer directly to this set.

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

2shred,If you are speaking of both the RCA and the TR inputs the answer is no. For stereo use both the left and right RCA inputs or the TR inputs. Not both at the same time. There is no way to switch between the two(RCA/TR) inputs.

You can but you would be hearing the same music on both at the same time. You would need an appropriate cable split connector..........

Mine's connected to an amp and the amp is connected to the speakers. As rjcolgan said, you choose the receiver or amp and the speakers you wish to use. Fantastic CD player by the way - I've had mine for about five years with not a bit of difficulty and great sound fidelity.

Shouldn't matter as long as your stereo system is pushing 8 ohms output. The only thing you might notice is different sets of speakers might have different volume levels when playing them together.
