The TRS to RCA cables will only complicate things further. Just get a normal cable like those you'd use to hook up a cd player with RCA connectors on both ends and hook up outputs 1&2 (labeled 25 on page 4 in the user guide) to your hi-fi system and you'll be good to go. Just about any electronics store will have what you need.
Good luck.

So RCA output 1 and 2 ok.
What are 3 and 4 designed for?
Then what about the S/PDIF in and output?
Last, setting up pro tools, do I have to select both 1 and 2 of the M-Audio as Input and Output?

Thank you
 
One possible use for them would be a separate monitor mix for the person you're recording. Let's say you're listening through your speakers while they're playing and the player wants to hear more of their instrument in their headphones you could use those outputs to give them what they want without changing what you hear. 3&4 also carry the same signal that's available on the S/PDIF output, the only difference is 3&4 are analog.
As for how you go about setting it up in Pro Tools I honestly don't remember. It's been years since I've used it.
 
Yes. I guess you could use either pair but the first pair seem like the logical choice, it's most likely the default output pair in Pro Tools as well.

well, you only have one mic, so you cannot mic two speakers with a dynamic mic, specially with an sm57 that's cardiod (unidirectional), so the mic needs to be pointing straight at the source it's recording.

What you can do is just try and see which one of the speakers have the best harmonic qualitites for your desired sound and mostly use that one. Also you can record two guitars tracs, first micing only one speaker and then the other, and pan then hard left and hard right.

search in google for micing techniques, or mic positioning techniques for guitars

here's something to get you started

what about using 2 mics - one for speaker?
do i have to set them as mono input or stereo on the DAW during recording?
i guess 2 monos...
thank youuuuuuuu :)
 
you are correct my friend, two mono and open them (pan left and right). You can either pan them hard left/hard right (full on to the left/right) or mix them.... 40% / -40% or 50% / -50% etc etc...
 
merry xmass bud! have a nice one, and hope to hear some recordings from you soon! :D
