    According to the spec in the link for the speakers you have both an optical in and a co axial in , your DVD player should have at least one of these as an output , use one of these for the DVD as this will give you 5.1 sound for your movies.

    The RCA phone will only give you stereo and would be a waste.

    Use the 6 channel direct input from your PC's soundcard to connect the PC.
    ( this will be 3 cables , two channels on each cable and they have mini jacks )

    Thanks Mathias.

    I should probably say I don't have a 5.1 sound card. So I take it the only (wastefull) way to do it, is to get a phono-2-jack cable and hook it from my sound card into that converter I posted in the link?

    Exactly how old is your soundcard , most motherboards and soundcards have been 5.1 enabled since the soundblaster live which is nearly 10 years old ?
    Are you absolutely sure your soundcard is not 5.1 ?

    Either way , Six channel or no , your soundcard will plug directly into that system , there is no need for that converter to connect anything to that system.

    Use the optical or the co axial for the DVD , the soundcard from the PC connects directly.

    Also , the cables to connect your PC are included in the speaker package ,( they are listed in the contents as 6 channel direct ) the optical ( or coaxial) cable for the the DVD is not so you will have to buy this separate.
