Will this take usb input or are you only limited to analogue 2.5mm/rca? Does it accept 5.1 analogue input? (the three 2.5 jacks) I'm concerned because my sound card sounds significantly more lame in 2 channel mode. Any insights? I know someone else...

This is a high quality 2.1 channel system that accepts RCA or stereo mini-pin. It doesn't have 5.1 inputs.

Craig G,It has both a 3.5mm (headphone *size*) audio output which can be sent to either another 3.5mm connection or RCA - and there is also digital optical. You have both on this model.Does that help?--Mr. S

Interesting. I've never seen a USB sound card/adapter this small. Thanks. I'm glad you were able to fix your problem and enjoy your speakers.

Hi Erin, Most computer audio outputs are a 3.5mm mini jack, though some external sound cards will actually have standard RCA outputs. Most likely you need a 3.5mm to RCA cable; this is the type of thing you might use to connect an iPod to a car stereo. I hope this helps. JH

I took this up with Logitech tech support (June 28, 2013). The first tech rep I spoke to said it's OK. When I got cut off mid-conversation, I called again, and was connected to another tech guy who wasn't sure. He spoke to the product specialist, who recommended against it. I got the impression that earlier versions were provided with adaptor capabilities, but the more recent version has not been tested (and is therefore not supported) for PS/2.

"Does the AUX input include the red and white L/R input" I just looked at this unit at Costco (I don't own one) and the answer is yes. It has two cables feeding from the rear: one USB cable and one standard RCA cable, like you mention. What's strange is a lot of posts about this product say it has a minijack cable only and no USB or RCA, however I just saw with my own two eyes the USB and RCA cables. They must've updated the model. And, yes, the model I saw was the LP2D, which is how I ended up here reading reviews for the product. Just make sure you can return if they send you the older model.

There are two types of audio inputs. Dual standard RCA ( L-R) and a Single input for CD etc. The Speaker inputs are standard RCA. I use the supplied cable with single 3.5 mm connector on one end from my TV head phone Jack and 2 Standard RCA Jacks on other end plugged into the speakers. I don,t know weather this helps you or not.

Neither could I ! The USB port would not work with my laptop or MP3 player or other audio sources either. This unit has many other bugs as well. I returned mine after toying around with it for 30 days.. Sorry I couldn't really help with your problem, other than my strong recommendation to return it ASAP.....

I think the sound bar's USB input is only for thumb drives and external hard drives. You're going to want to use the RCA input for audio transmission.

I plugged into the usb input of my windows 8 laptop and it automatically installed the drivers (plug and plan). I have not tried the RCA analog outputs since I am connecting a headphone. From the manual the volume control for the output only works for the headphone jack. When using the RCA output you have thru adjust volume thru your amp. With the USB input, resolution is a maximum of 24 bit 96Hz

Is that microphone jack stereo or mono? Does it provide "phantom power" to a microphone? &gt;If it does, you probably can't use that jack for any other device. Does the RCA - to - 1/8" adapter have a stereo (3-contact) or mono (2-contact) 1/8" plug? &gt;Some mono ones are made with red and white insulators (or other mixed colours), which makes them APPEAR to be the same as the stereo ones. If any part of the connecting arrangement is "mono", you won't get the "correct" sound from the turntable, and it is possible that you would get no sound. Also, check to see if there is an input-level adjustment (it would be an on-screen control); if there is one and it is set at or near its minimum, little or no signal will get into the "konfuzer". I would prefer that a LINE-level input was provided; but I believe some microphone inputs are set up so that they can be selectively switched to accomodate line-level signals. You may need to consult someone locally who can investigate the settings on your specific laptop. &gt;Line level is about 100 times the voltage of a microphone's output, and it will overdrive a microphone stage. Another possibility is: The signal going into the microphone jack probably can't be passed to the speakers directly. If it was so connected, you would have a defacto "P.A. system", and laptops are not known for having that function. In any event, the correct setting of the AT-PL120's output switch is "LINE", which will apply the necessary RIAA frequency equalization. If all else fails, instead of connecting the turntable to the laptop, use a pair of powered speakers that have their own volume control, a boombox with an auxiliary input, or any normal stereo system until you have the laptop matter figured out.

The A/D cable does not work in both directions - the signal flow must be *from* the audio end *to* the USB end. That means you can not play out through your USB jack using this cable. You will need a D/A box to play out from your USB port to your speakers, and probably an amp as well (unless your speakers are powered). You can find these little guys branded as external USB sound cards, typically for under $50. Some of the nicer ones have gain and processing controls, but most will have an 1/8" TRS jack rather than RCA or full size phono jacks. When you go looking for a solution, remember to consider all the connections you'll have to make as well as power considerations.

No idea, but after my third unit died (after just a couple months) I looked for another USB audio interface solution. This unit was discontinued a while back, every unit I had failed in the same way. I really loved this unit when it was working, but I lost confidence that its a good thing to own.

It is not USB, but has two standard (1/8" i presume) headphone jacks. Note however, that it should work with one of those cheap USB sound cards (1.25 on on Ebay, or 1.75 Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000N35A0Y/ref=sr_1_2_olp?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1359331633&sr;=1-2&keywords;=USB+sound+card&condition;=new). My internal analog card does not work under W/8, but the cheap USB sound card did!

Armand S., What options do you have on the back of your audio system? RCA/3.5mm? Optical Audio? --Mr. S

Have done all this, but how do I get 5.1 sound from the external source? Sound only coming through the front speakers. What input should I be using on the receiver to get 5.1 sound from the external source? TIA.
