An audio receiver won't help you either, if your goal is to obtain true 5.1 sound. The auxilliary input on the speakers is only a 2-channel input meaning the most sound you can get is stereo, or some sort of simulated surround mode like Dolby Pro-Logic, DTS NEO, etc.

You can connect these speakers to your TV by using a simple RCA cord from your TV's audio output jacks to the auxilliary jacks on the sub. You might be able to get sound from all 5 speakers if the system supports some kind of "all channel stereo" mode.

The lesson from this is: never use speakers designed for your computer with your home entertainment system.
