Connection problems

    Hi all.

    It was my birthday recently and a friend got me a philips SPA2600 5.1 surround system. It looks great and I was really looking forward to trying it but when I unpacked it I discovered that it requires 3 inputs to operate. One for the sub and centre, one for the front speakers and one for the back set. They're just regular jacks, like you would get on a set of headphones.
    Thing is all the devices I would possibly use with it have only one output. Is there anyone who has experience with a set like this? Is there anyway to connect all the cables to one output?

    Click here to see the set.

    Cheers.

    Thats just a PC speaker setup , the only inputs it has are for the outputs of a PC soundcard.

    Thats all your going to be able to connect to these.

    If you want surround from say , a DVD player / xbox /ps3 / you need to get an amp plus speakers.

    Aha! What a blonde moment that was. Seeing as I only have a laptop I guess these are pretty useless to me at the moment.

    Thanks!
