I am wanting to play music through my stereo speakers from my computer. The back of my stereo has the red and white plug-ins. I went to Radio Shack and the guy said something about a laptop not being amplified. I just want to know if it is possible to still receive good quality if I were to buy the cords or would it be a waste of time. Is it possible at all or should I just buy better computer speakers.

It depends on whether your stereo has an amplifier already…(unless its just a tuner it should) Does it have the ability to change modes such as CD, tape, Phono, Aux?
If there is just get an adapter that goes from a mini plug (laptop headphones jack) to the red and white (left and right channel) plugs….make sure you plug it into the “input” on your stereo and most likely change the setting to Aux. You will have to adjust the sound on the stereo and laptop to make it sound good but it should work just fine.
Good luck.
The guy at Radio Shack is a moron. Using a corrd you buy from a DIFFERENT Radio Shack, Plug the headphone jack from your laptop into any line-level input jack on your receiver. This is pretty much anything except the tuner, or the phonograph.
Prakash’s original picture showed a female RCA end, but I convinced him to change it.
You’re not connecting the laptop directly to the speakers, right? You’re connecting it to the stereo, where there are two round holes on the back, red and white?
If so, you’ll be alright. Get this cord – 3.5″ male plug to 2 male RCA.
