Hi, I just bought a Logitech X-540 5.1 Audio System, I want to use it with PS3 but how can I get it plugged into the PS3 or TV? It has the 3 connectors (green, black and yellow) so how can I use it with my PS3? Please help thanks

Tough Luck...

I tried to hook up my Dell 5.1 system but since it had weird connectors (like yours) it wouldn't work by using a series of conversion cords...

Oh well.

What would I need to get to have it work with the PS3? My audio system has this thing called "Matrix" sound so it spreads the 2 channel source to the 5.1 channel but I donno if its really "true" 5.1 audio. You can you this

i think your talking about computer speakers since the colors are for the pc. you're gonna have to find one for the tv which should be white and red.

Yes you should be able to its the only way since tehre is no optical it will work using the adapter its only 5usd buy it its worth it your speakers are more dolby pro Logic II then truue sourround but still it would make a big diff to stereo

Optical is optical no adapter,with optical you need a full hard out home sorround with an AMP that Supports Optical.
trus me you will never get true 5.1 witghout wasting 700+au dollars as I said It is 5.1 you can use it Ive been with those tyope of speakers for the pc only 1 plug but its 5.1 big deal its better then stereo I seriously recommend bvuy that Adapter and have fun you will have more fun then with stereo
as for how true it will sound Id say 85% to the real thing.
Not bad.

I bought the exact same surround sound system about 7 or 8 months for about $30 and for that price its a real bargain..
When i bought mine, it actually included the adapter with it so i would be kinda surprised if you didn't get one with it.. All you need to do is buy the adapter and then plug everything in, the wires aren't that long for the two rear speakers but they should be long enough..
But the sound is excellent and well worth the money, enjoy!

I don't think you could get those speakers for $30! I got those for my Pc from Newegg and it included the adapter! the box even said for us with Playstation consoles!

Yes it is 5.1!

You can buy standard adio cables and get a coupler form any store to make the speaker wires longer!

I rely like the subwoofer!

I found the game adapter in the box but it is only a Green to red/white the other one is all 3(yellow, green and black) to red/white wouldn't that work better? The Subwoofer is great!

Yeah the speakers have Matrix sound so it spreads it just wondering if the other adapter would be better.

Could I buy this http://gear.ign.com/articles/449/449167p1.html and then plug my speakers into that and run the Optical to my PS3?

Yes you can buy that, but at $250 it isn't worth it! If you want true 5.1 then get a reciver! I have this reciver! I love it it has component, composite, and video, and audio in and out! I would get that if you were thinking about spending that much money!

Then you can buy some new speakers and use your logitech with your Computer, or return them!

Or you could get this...

I was listening to this at best buy and it is also amazing and it comes with speakers and a subwoofer!

I am actualy going to buy this...
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?...d=1149205462671

The subwoofer is amazing and it has HDMI in and out along with Optical in! I am going to get his soon!

Why are people so worried about their sound?
Let me ask you do you have a home theatre in your lounge?
Maybe I would worry too but I have a 6.2 in the lounge sony one and use that for all my needs.

The why do you want to use the Logitech X-540 5.1 Audio System with your PS3 if you already have a sound system? And that creative thing retails at $250! Youd be better off buying a reciver! You can't get true 5.1 with the logitcech!

Ok, you can get 5.1 with the creative, but isn't worth it because the Creative is $225! If you have got the logitech within the last 30 days I would take it bak and get one of the souround sound systems I mentioned above! that is what I would do!

Still not really to get 5.1 you actually have to use 6 wires everything less is matrixed unless run via optical even with the creative you plug in 3 wires while you have 6 speakers you get it?
Why not use your home theatre instead.
