T20 connection

Hi, Does anybody know which is the best quality external speaker connection to use from a tv. Is it 3.5 mm headphone socket, or RCA phono connection.
Thanks.

I think a RCA phono connection is more suitable for speakers and the headphone socket is more suitable for headphones.
I am using my headphone socket to output sound to my speakers from my LCD TV and I find the sound good.

  • Help! Connecting Audigy nx2 to Xmod then to t20 spea

    Hi, the reason i'm connecting this way is Xmod dont have software to tune bass or equalizer.
    I have the usb adapter and it works fine but i have no free socket. All occupied by T20, laptop, external harddisk and audigy nx2.
    I'm just wondering if Xmod can only draw power from my laptop usb and work as standalone device rather a souncard. I had tried to connect nx2 output to xmod but its not working without the external usb. Although I disabled xmod in device manager, its still not working.
    Anyone, please help!

    The Xmod needs to get power, whether it's by connecting to a PC or by using a power adapter. If you're trying to use it as a standalone device (and connect something to the line-in) then you'd need to power it using a power adapter with a USB connection (see here).

  • Connecting Gigaworks T20 to TV

    Hi,
    I'm using a 3.5mm Stereo Plug to 2 Phono Leads cable to connected a pair of t20 speakers to my new Panasonic TV via the headphone socket as recommended by their tech support. The problem is that I'm only getting sound out of one speaker - I've tried this on a second TV and it's the same. Is this a problem with the cable, the speakers or is it just not possible to get stereo sound from T20's hooked up this way?

    Anyone?

  • GigaWorks T20 Series II connection to a TV?

    I currently have a Creative GigaWorks T20 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort Technology on hold at Amazon pending this clarification. Per the associated Amazon/Creative blurb the following cabling ships with the speakers: ships with speakers: stereo-to-stereo audio cable, and a dual RCA-to-stereo audio TV adapter. Stipulation--I am not 'electronics' knowledgeable.
    I have 2 HD TV's, one an LED and the other an LCD--both purchased within the past 2 years. I currently have low end Logitech speakers connected to both TV's via the TV's headphone output jack. The speaker sound is marginal. Your speaker referenced above is third party rated 4 of 5 stars. I plan on purchasing one set and if they perform as advertised I'll purchase a second set for the other TV.
    However, I'm utterly confused about the cabling that Creative ships with the speakers. 1. Will the speakers work properly connecting to a TV? 2. If the cables you ship will work with the TV will the sound be as good or better than connecting through the TV's headphone jack as I've been doing? 3. For maximum speaker ability what type of cabling is best (assuming that that is not what you ship with the speakers)?

    Hi Mark,
    You can connect the speakers to your TV's headphone jack with the stereo-to-stereo audio cable which is a 3.5mm cable.
    The dual RCA-to-stereo audio TV adapter is optional for TV's without the headphone jack. But your TV should have an RCA audio output as well. My LCD TV has both.
    Maybe the quickstart guide of the Gigaworks T20 Series II will give you more information.

  • How do I get 5.1 sound from iTunes on my computer connected to Bose T20?

    I have my computer connected to a Bose T20 with an HDMI cable. I can get surround sound with movies, but not with iTunes. I only get stereo instead of 5.1.
    I also have Apple TV connected to Bose and can get surround sound from iTunes when piped through Apple TV. Bose has told me to check the sound settings on my computer which I have done. The sound settings have 5.1 enabled.

  • Thinkpad T20 docking issues

    My Thinkpad T20 will not power on after being undocked until it is docked again.  Battery indicator is 100% and Maximum Lifespan mode indicated.  Anyone else with this issue??  Any solutions?/

    For anyone having a similar problem - 
    It turned out to be in fact a hardware problem. I decided to give it a go instead of waiting a few weeks for Lenovo to fix it. It is surprisingly serviceable, basically disable the battery in the BIOS, remove 10 screws at the bottom, take off the cover (easy with a credit card), remove 1 screw for the battery, take out and un-plug the battery (wrap a small piece of tape around the battery cables to create a pull tab and not damage the cables/connector).
    Then the NFC module is at the lower right of the trackpad area, with one connection to the mainboard and one to the antenna in the trackpad. It appears that the cable that goes to the mainboard was pluged in slighty offset - it had bite marks from the connector, but between the copper tracks not on them. I plugged it in again, making sure that it seats properly, put everything back together and now I have working NFC 
    I'm just a bit baffled that this could pass QC.

  • How to install Solaris 8 on IBM Thinkpad T20 laptop

    Hello,
    I would like to install Solaris 8 on my IBM Thinkpad T20 laptop and I am facing two kinds of problems:
    -1- I cannot boot on the Matshushita DVDROM which is shipped with : i have got a boot panic ;
    -2- My SAVAGE/IX 8MB Video Card is not recognised.
    ANY HELP APPRECIATED
    [email protected]

    Hi There,
    Although laptops are not officially supported, I am aware that another
    customer managed to install their system over a network connection
    due to local CDROM issues.
    This may be something to try if you have access to another SOlaris System with a local CDROM.
    As for the Video Card, I have not found any records of anyone
    else attempting to use this particular chipset and so you may be
    limited to just standard VGA in this case.

  • Gigaworks T20: Headset/Microphone

    Hello, I plugged in my headset/microphone into my speakers system gigaworks T20.Problem is that my microphone doesn't work. When I'm calling someone over the internet they can't hear me. I already dit several checks en tests but I can't find what the problem is.
    I think dat the speakers doens't have the possibility to use a microphone.

    stijn,
    If you want to use a microphone with your computer software, you need to connect it to your computer sound card instead. The Aux In on the speaker isn't meant for connecting microphone.

  • Gigaworks T20 power cut off

    I bought a pair of Gigaworks T20 speakers two weeks ago and have been delighted with them up until last night. I was playing a computer game, when the speakers emitted a 'phut' sound as if they'd been turned off. Looking at the speakers I noticed the blue power on LED was off even though the volume control was about half way round. The connecting wires were all secure, and the PSU secure in the surge protected supply. The supply was very hot however. If I removed the power supply and left it for a couple of minutes then plugged it back in I got the power back only for the speakers to die again 20 mins later.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Hi,
    Your speaker might be faulty.
    Try to get in touch with Support to have it sorted out.
    Best of luck.

  • Gigaworks T20 Series II - left channel quiet?

    I've just got a brand new set of Gigaworks T20 Series II speakers and I'm pretty pleased wit them, however, it seems that the volume level is slightly quieter on the left channel.
    Sitting perfectly between the two speakers with no obstruction the audio appears pretty even with music, but when I start playing any games or listening to system generated sounds, it appears that the speakers are out of balance and the right channel is louder than the left.
    By tweaking the sound balance it seems I can get it balanced, but I have increase the left channel by a full 25% to get it to sound balanced.
    Is there something wrong with one of my speakers?
    It sounds perfectly clear, but unless I pump that left channel by 25% the sound field is definitely weighted to the right.

    Hi Spaced0g,
    Could you double check and make sure that the audio connection to the left speaker is secure?

  • T20 static problems

    I have read other problems about a whining sound but my problem sounds different. From the moment I removed my T20's their package and turned them on, even before they were connected to an audio signal, there was a loud hiss of static coming from the left speaker. Even after I connected them to an audio signal the static was still very much there. Increasing the treble causes the static to become louder, and while headphones are connected the static is gone. Sounds to me, from all the reports I've read, that Creative has produced a lemon on this one and could care less. I've already contacted them and was told to send them back for repair, AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR SHIPPING FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT! Needless to say I am quite angry right now. The fact that there are pages and pages of reports full of problems with these speakers makes me question why Creative continues to sell these faulty products.
    Message Edited by Kristopher on 10-02-2007 09:07 AM

    I have exactly the same problem with these speakers. I'm going to do my best to put negative reviews on every site I can find. Wouldn't mind but Creative seem totyally unwilling to try to resolve the problems.

  • Connecting Audiovox TV (FPE3205) using Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter

    I can't figure out what I'm missing here. All the connections look right, but... well, it's possible that I just don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I restarted both devices, but still, nothing. Any ideas?

  • How to connect my PB to TV using Mini-DVI to Video Adapter

    I went through the posts, so I'm sure this is a stupid question, but:
    I have a mini-dvi to video adapter for my powerbook, which I want to connect to my TV. What's the extra cable I need to connect the adapter to the TV?

    "I'm hoping that simply connecting the two via a firewire cable will create some sort of mini-network?... but that sounds to easy..."
    But it is that easy. Network the iBook and PowerBook via IP over FireWire:
