You can connect home theater in two ways - use HDMI out or S/PDIF out (optical or coaxial). If your PC has hdmi out then use it.

Firstly Satish my apologies for hijacking your thread.
@baijuxavior, so you are saying if I have a laptop with HDMI outlet then I can connect this to my Onkyo 3500? So that I can play audio from it?

 

[baijuxavior]

Yes. You can connect hdmi of laptop to your avr for audio.

Yes. You can connect hdmi of laptop to your avr for audio.

And how do I do it? Also can I connect my laptop to AVR to watch movies?

Connecting laptop to avr to listen to music is quite simple. Connect the hdmi cable between 2 devices. Play music from the laptop. If you dont get any sound through the speakers then go to control panel -> audio settings-> and select hdmi/avr from there.


You can also watch movies by connecting laptop to avr. Of course you would need a tv/projector etc connected to the avr as well.
