So I have had this home theater for quite a long time now, and as I've just got an old computer from my friend, I thought why not try to make these two work. So as you can see on the picture I linked, it doesn't show where goes what cable. I am curious if I can make this work as 5.1 or can I only get stereo while connected to my PC?

This HTS has only two channel analog inputs so your option is to set the PC for 2 channel and select an analog surround mode that will give you some surround sound.
If you have optical audio out on the PC then you can connect it to the HTS optical input and get 5.1 channel digital surround sound. If not then a soundcard might be worth adding to the PC.

And how do I set my PC to 2 channel? And do I use the AUX ins? I'd really appreciate some further help, as you seem competent about this whole thing. Thanks for the reply anyway, and sorry for any broken English.
