I know zero about speakers... I have a Aiwa music centre, Model NSX V900
with a couple of nice speakers, ref SX-ANV900. The recording tape deck
had failed so thought I would use the Aiwa speakers with my pc. Is that
possible? If so what plugs into where?..There is a surround speaker cord
plug and a speaker cord with just bare wire end per speaker.

Most PCs have only a line out, so need an external power amp to drive
speakers. If your music centre has an 'Aux' input (probably phono sockets)
then you could feed this from the PC line out or headphone socket.

Thanks for that. Yes the music centre has an Aux but I was hoping to be able
to just use the speakers with the pc...the music centre was going elsewhere.
Guess I can't?
