Audio Cable Question

[Bastinka]

I've been trying to find out how long around maybe 15 ft.+ cables would cost and what cables would be the right ones to hook my stereo system up to my TV and Computer.

Xbox and all that use RCA cables?

If so how much would a 15 ft. or 20 ft. cable cost, and are there like parts to make more than one system connect to it? such as 2 sets of them from my computer and TV to one jack. (Or two if you count right and left cables as seperate.)

Cost in U.S. dollars please.

Okay... you want RCA Cables.

3.5 mm is for headphones... 1/4 inch is for headphones/guitars/microphones.
XLR is for microphones.
Optical Mini-Plug and Optical Plug are for surround sound digital. **If both your surround sound system and computer support this... use this.**

RCA plugs are for left/right audio which is what most systems use... but are next to unheardof for computers. Luckily, however, 3.5mm audio jacks can be converted into RCA jacks.

Some stores sell "Ipod Accessories" which do this purpose... these are insanely marked up... look in the TV cables sections for cheaper cables usually... example: 3.5mm male-to-male cable... ipod accessory? $14... TV Cable section (which I don't know why it's there since it's not a TV cable) $2.97... they're the same cable.

As for connecting two units to one jack... best bet is an A-B composite TV video switchers... they go for ~10-15$.

I'll look it up and get back to you on that in a second here, phopo.
