[QUOTE="Maniac, post: 2479381, member: 128549"] What the previous two answers are trying to tell you is that you can not connect these speakers to a bluray player. It has nothing to do with connectors it has to do with the lack of an engine. This would be like trying to connect the linkage of your car's gas peddle directly to the drive shaft and expecting it to go without an engine. The speakers work by magnetic energy in a coil moving in a fixed magnetic field. The coil needs significant current to do this but the output of a bluray player is very small signal intended to be information only. This information is fed into an amplifier which then magnifies the signal both in voltage and in current. This power then drives the speakers. There is no need to hate Panasonic for not putting connectors on your speaker wires, they did this to make the wires compatible with the appropriate connections on the amplifier. What you need is an AVR or Audio Video Receiver. This will have an HDMI input to connect your bluray which is the best way to connect it and it will likely also have the option of using those RCA jacks you were planning to connect your speakers to. Those would connect to RCA inputs on the receiver and then of course the speakers connect to the receiver. I wouldn't mess with those however, just use the single HDMI cable to pass everything, all the audio and the video. Don't skimp on a receiver. Get something decent from Onkyo, Denon, HK or similar brand. Yes you can get something for two or three hundred but you will ultimately be a lot happier with something better. To get something really decent you need to spend $900+. Of course if you have Panasonic speakers that have the wires built in then having such a nice receiver will certainly lead to a need for a serious speaker upgrade. That's going to be more than the receiver. I know it adds up to a lot of money but it adds up to even more long term enjoyment of your system. Life is too short to skimp! mk [/QUOTE]
