Convert Speaker Cable to Plugs for Samsung / Sony / Panasonic Home Theatre 5.1 Surround Sockets

This is my method demonstrating on how to convert bare metal speaker cable to be compatible with being plugged into Samsung Sony and Panasonic proprietary speaker sockets. Just ensure that your home theatre amplifier is rated for the impedance of the speaker you're connecting. I take no responsibility if you manage to damage your equipment following these instructions.

You will need to obtain 2-pin mini molex connectors which are compatible with the sockets. These can be sourced from any electronics store. Might be handy to get a few more than required incase of mistakes as once the metal pins are inserted into the housing, they're quite difficult to remove without the proper tools.

This video came about due to me upgrading from an LG HT554PH DVD Home theatre system to a Samsung TH-F5550 Blu-Ray system whilst retaining the 4ohm LG speakers and not wanting to spend silly money on new cabling or adapters that others had made. I like these home cinema systems for surround usage as they're built quite slim, compared to the majority of AV Receivers on the market, but its taken me a little while to get hold of a used one for the right price. Finally though, it's all set up, it sounds fantastic just from a frequency range and volume control the LG seem to suffered from, alongside allowing me to upgrade from spdif optical in to lossless pcm HDMI in, which sounds amazing and finally allows me to listen to Nintendo products in surround and finally retire the 18 year old PCI Asus DTS Connect soundcard in my PC.

Please do comment if you have success with your upgrade.
