How do I hook up my stereo system to my dreamcast??

[dcpsoguy]

I want to hook up my stereo system to my dreamcast so that all the sound from the dreamcast games come out on my nice stereo( and speakers) . Does anyone know how to do this?

Easiest way is to hook your Dreamcast RCA cables through your VCR or back of TV, and then have your stereo system hooked up as well to the audio outs on the VCR/TV. Then just set the stereo system to video input, and voila!!

Have a few questions.

P.S. I dont have A VCR upstairs, so that is not an option.

Do RCA cables come with the Dreamcast?

Could you rewrite the directions for without VCR, if you can, please.

Thanks

First off, how do you have your Dreamcast hooked to the TV?? And second, does your TV have any audio RCA outputs on the back??

My dreamcast hooks up to my tv via the cords that came with the dreamcast.

I beleive it does.

if you are connecting to the TV with the cords that came with the system then you should be using RCA cables...and your TV should have audio outs...just get an RCA audio cable from radio shack or something and connect to your stereo's "line in"

I have a similar question to this, if you guys get the chance: I'd like to hook up my Playstation/Dreamcast to my CD player speakers, and also to a Logic3 subwoofer that I own (the satellite speakers that came with the subwoofer suck). Is this possible? Thanks.

does the dreamcast have 3 cables for the AV output? A yellow, a red and a white or black? If so, plug the yellow into the TV and the red and black into the stereo inputs. Turn the TV on, set the stereo to whatever input you plugged them into and your fine.

For a general explanation follow this. All audio components deal with either Audio In (recieving audio signal) or Audio Out (providing signal). What you need to do, Is make a path for the audio signal to travel from your Source (Dreamcast, CD player, Computer, VCR) to your Amplifier (TV speakers, Home Theather System, Shelf System, etc.) Your Dreamcast will have an "Audio Out", or "Line Out", or L and R (corresponding to Left Channel, Right Channel) You want to send the signal out from here, to the Audio IN, Aux IN, Line IN, or again L and R IN on your stereo. The most common connection between audio components is made with RCA cables (They look similar to banana plugs, and are usually colored at the ends with one being RED, and the other WHITE, (there is also YELLOW which is usually VIDEO) So you want to make a path from the audio out, to the audio in. Sometimes you can use some devices as a "hub", ex. a VCR. You can go from audio out of DC, to audio IN on VCR. Then audio OUT from VCR to AUDIO IN on stereo. I realize this can be confusing, but hopefully I've helped a little.
