Connecting a Wii to VGA and Logitech Z5500

Using the Wii Component cable.

Ive figured I need an RCA to VGA adapter for the component video connections - Does one exist?

For the audio, do I just need a Double RCA to 3.5mm jack plug and connect to the Green "Front" socket? Would this still give the 5.1 Pro-Logic II?

I always thought the wii only did 2.0/stereo ?

It uses Dolby Pro Logic II:

A pseudo 5.1 if you will.

Works very well though.

Vdigi Wii VGA cable. I have one and it works perfectly for all progressive games. It's incredibly sharp (much like the dreamcast VGA cable).

I use optical from my TV to the Z-5500, this way Freeview and the Wii get Dolby Pro Logic.

I ordered it through Vdigi's website using paypal.

The quality of the picture easily surpasses component, I think it's the way most TVs handle the component signal.

I have the same speakers... I use a little box where I conect the RCA and then I conect the normal CPU cable of my speakers into that box.... sound awsome....
the little converter box came with an old speakers settings (logitech X-530 google it)
