How to Connect Computer Speakers to a DVD Player
A DVD player connected to a set of computer speakers can provide quality sound while conserving space. Rather than hook up the player to an AV receiver and a full-size speaker package, the player can instead be connected to self-powered speakers using an audio Y-adapter. To work with a DVD player, the speakers must be equipped with their own built-in amplifier to provide power for the audio because the player does not transmit a powered signal. Any computer speakers that come with a a transformer and attached electrical cord for plugging into a wall outlet are self-powered.
