    What type of audio connectors does the Sony-BDV-E570 Dvd player use?

    The product comes with 5.1 surround sound speakers, and they're amazing. I want to use these for my pc, but the connectors seem to be very wierd. Trying to find an adapter for it. Need some help, thanks! https://www.amazon.com/Sony-BDV-E570-Entertainment-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0035ER1OQ...
