I'm 99% sure that they are Surround sound speakers. There's a central speaker system (PS C99) and two that should would go on the walls (PS R99). Each speaker has one cord and no jacks for other cords. All cords are black, so that's no help. The telivision has plenty of A/V jacks. Trouble is we have no idea which jacks to plug them into. If these aren't for the television then could they be used for the computer?

GOOD QUESTIONA lot of intelligent people have "information gaps" when it comes to home electronics. That's why people like me have careers helping other people out with their entertainment systems.The speakers you got are probably fine. And your TV is fine. But unless the TV actually has speaker outputs - that is, color-coded red and black "push-to-pinch" connectors (for + and -, respectively) - which very few TVs these days do, you are going to need some sort of Amplifier or Audio Receiver to turn the signal coming out of your TV, cable-TV, satellite box or DVD player into sound that those speakers can play.If you look a little more closely at the wires attached to the speakers you will notice that there are two separate "ends" or terminals, and that there is a distinction between one and the other one. One is Positive (+) and the other is Negative (-) and so one will have a marking on it, such as small white lettering, or ridges or little gray stripes or SOMEthing, and the other one will not. Usually the one with the writing on it is called "positive (+)" and it plugs into the red pinch-connnector. The other wire goes to the black one.As long as you are consistent with whichever choice you make on the first speaker, you will be okay.Now, about that Amplifier/Receiver you'll need. You can find ths at Goodwill, too. For as little as $30 you can buy what you need, which is a basic receiver/amp. Avoid brands like Emerson or Tandy, and try to find one like Yamaha or Onkyo. Pioneer is okay, too if they don't have the first two. Make sure you get one with the original manufacturer's remote, otherwise controlling the volume could be a bummer.So, once you have this, you will first have to get the sound from your "sources" (TV, DVD player, etc.) into the receiver. This will require a stereo interconnect (a cable with two connectors on each end color-coded red and white). These are inexpensive ($5 - $10) and you can sometimes buy a few of them for the price of one, depending on where you go.Once you've plugged one end of the cables into the "TV /DVD/Cable Box AUDIO OUT" connectors (color-coded the same way, red and white) and the other end into the audio Amp/Receiver's DVD/CD/TV "AUDIO IN" jacks, then you're ready to hook up the speakers to their respective connectors (which look and function totally differently from the audio signal jacks just described) THEN you will have sound.If you're taking sound from the TV, you may want to disable the internal TV speakers in order to get the purest best sound from the new system instead. This is usually an internal "Menu" function on the TV. If you don't turn off the internal TV speakers, you will have to have the volume on the TV speakers turned way up in order to get enought good signal going to your "new" Receiver/Amp.GOOD LUCK - and let me know how it goes.

they go to an amp or a receiver not directly into the tv. the red yellow and black cables are for signal transfer not power output

it does not seem like a surround system, because a surround system has five speakers.it is most likely a sub woofer which only creates bass sounds. it is still possible that this is an old style surround system with a center, left, right speakers. you have to test it and see if you have full sound coming out of it. the black wire has two copper conductors, when you split the conductors you will see one is round and one has a line/groove in it. the round is plus and the lined one is minus. also these speaker needs an amplifier.
