Hi friends, i have a 15 year old aiwa system with 2x3500watt speakers. Since these are very old i was wondering if i can hook up my ipod, phone or laptop with them. I am a noob at this set up so please some one guide me if possible. Below are attached photos for better understanding.

Try aux wire like below [3.5 mm plug to 2 rca plugs]
MX MDR ELECTRONICS & MX ELECTRONICS & HDMI & CCTV CAMERA & DVR & SDI ACCESSORIES & VGA ; DVI & APPLE ACCESSORIES & CABLES & CONNECTORS & HOME THEATER CABLES & PRO-AUDIO / STUDIO ACCESSORIES & FIBER OPTICS & CABLE MANAGEMENT & CABLE ORGANISER & VIDEO

Put the 2 rca plugs into aux in socket then select the aux function from the system & connect any source like pc, Laptop Or PMP's to it using 3.5mm plug.

From 2001 to 2007 I had connected my Desktop PC & Aiwa Walkman to my 20 yrs old Philips Powerhouse System using such aux wire.
