Sept 18, 2009 (apparently the 890 is the same as the 885 - I do not actually know but thought I'd put it here to aid searchers.) I recently picked up a complete Altec Lansing ADA885 4.1 THX speaker system - Goodwill - $20: large subwoofer with all circuitry, and 4 sats. Altec Lansing ADA885. That's where Altec Lansing comes in with their ADA885 speakers. Featuring THX Lucasfilm certification, and Dolby Digital & Pro Logic support, these speakers fit everyones needs. If music, movies and gaming are your thing, these speakers are a must. Shipped in the Altec Lansing box, the ADA885's weigh slightly.

The manual from Dell isn't as clear as the original Altec manual, but I think it's either analog surround OR S/PDIF, not both. (Front analog, plus digital. No back hookup necessary.).

All stereo information is heard from the satellite and surround speakers. The subwoofer contains no stereo information and its sound is
non-directional. As a result, the subwoofer does not necessarily have to be placed in any particular relationship to the satellites. Placing
the subwoofer on the floor close to a wall or corner of a room provides maximum bass efficiency. The subwoofer is not magnetically
shielded and should not be placed near video displays.*

Near Field
The satellite and surround speakers are magnetically shielded and can be placed close to the computer monitor without distorting video
images. Best stereo effect is obtained by placing the speakers as far apart as practical.

Enhanced Surround Sound
Best surround effect is obtained by placing the surround speakers forward of the monitor and approximately the same distance apart as
the satellite speakers. Excellent results are obtained when the surround speakers are in line with, and slightly above the listeners ears.
