Hi, I am new to this forum. I am trying to set up my home theater system. I purchased a set of Logitech Z-5500 speakers, which has a 10" powered subwoofer. I realized after I purchased these speakers that it appears that their primary use (at least for the subwoofer) is to be connected to a PC.
I am trying to use them as a home theater surround sound speaker system. I have an Onkyo SR-705 AV receiver. I have connected all of the other speakers from the Z-5500 system directly to the Onkyo receiver, but I can not figure out how to connect the Z-5500's subwoofer to the Onkyo receiver.
The only "in" connection on the back of the subwoofer is a 15 pin "paralell port" type connection, which is connected to a small controller box that came with the Z-5500 system. I'm trying to figure out how to connect the subwoofer directly to the Onkyo receiver.
On the back of the Onkyo receiver, there is a "paralell port" type connector labeled "RS-232". However, it is only a 9 pin "female" connector. Is there a way to connect the Z-5500 subwoofer directly to the Onkyo receiver? If not, and I have to keep the Z-5500 controller unit in the loop, between the Onkyo receiver and the subwoofer, how should I make that connection?
I've tried hooking up the Z-5500 controller unit to the subwoofer, using the cable coming out of the back of the controller box that is supposed to go to the subwoofer. Then I hooked up the Z-5500's controller box to the Onkyo receiver's "optical out" port, using an potical cable, but I wasn't getting any sound out of the subwoofer using that set up. Any advice from anyone familiar with these systems on how I can make it work? Thanks!!
