Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Hooking up desktop system to computer

Although I can't afford the new Audiobytes, my penchant for change has caused me to want to hook up my Denon/Mission mini system up to my computer. I don't know what is needed to make this happen, though. The Denon receiver/CD changer has two sets each of RCA inputs and outputs, as well as a pair of preouts. Do I need one of those RCA to mini jack converter things, or something else?

Long ago, I lost the manual. Don't know if it would have helped, anyway.

You need a 1/8 inch stereo mini to male rca cable. Plug one end into the computer, plug the other into the denon and bobs your uncle.

Awesome. I was hoping it was something simple like that.

Thanks, Brandon!

Bob's your uncle, but Brandon's your daddy.

This is gonna be one confusing Thanksgiving dinner. . .

Make sure your computer has a "line out" jack and just headphone jack. I had computers in the past where the line out was not offered (there inside, not outside!)

Whenever I read the word 'penchant' I think of my buddy in high school who came up with the following mnemonic for remembering what it means:

I like this pen, I like this pen, I like this pen.

Yeah, it's a pen chant.

He must have been quite some fun the days before exams!

Peter, you must have hung out with the "cool" kids.

I was a floater between the geek/nerd and cool crowds. I was an honor student but also played volleyball and basketball. I favored the geek/nerd crowd, though, if it means anything.
