Yamaha Cavit preamp output to 2.1 speakers

I am buying a Yamaha Cavit DP-U50 which I will be using for sound output from my computer.

My speaker system is the Logitech z2300 THX 2.1. The speakers are connected to the subwoofer which powers them, and the subwoofer is connected to a remote which is connected to the sound source.

On the Cavit, there is a set of analog RCA preamp outputs (they look like RCA, correct me if I'm wrong) and a subwoofer output. My Logitech uses a 1/8" stereo mini (standard audio out from a computer soundcard). It came with a "game console adapter" which is dual female RCA to female stereo mini adapter.

The question is, how do I connect them? Is there a dual male RCA to female stereo mini adapter? If so, any recommendations?

The other question is, since the Cavit also has a subwoofer out, would the dual preamp outputs work for my 2.1 system? As I understand the Cavit, it was designed to have the 2 speakers connect to the dual preamps, and the subwoofer to the subwoofer out. Can I just use the dual preamps for my entire system? There is no way to connect the Logitech subwoofer seperately to the subwoofer output. I'm not sure if the Cavit splits the frequencies and outputs them seperately to the preamp and subwoofer outputs. Normally, preamp should output all the frequencies, but in this case I don't know...


I probably have no idea what I'm talking about. :D Any advise would be appreciated!
