Speaker system consists of four upright pole speakers and one shorter, horizontal speaker (bass?). Output is standard stereo left and right.

well, sounds like your using a two channel receiver and want to hook the 4 speakers to it? Don't know if that will work, you could hook two speakers to each channel, but that might be too much load for the amp in the receiver, basically it sounds like you might just want to hook up one speaker to each channel, or possibly buy, trade or barter for a 5.1 receiver.

your stereo won't be able to accomodate all of your speakers. to be able to use all 5 better buy an audio/video receiver, the most common ones are 5.1 - 1 for center the horizontal speaker that you have, 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers the .1 for subwoofer. so you'll have to buy an active subwoofer as well for all the low freq sounds (bass). until you get an avr you can temporarily use the two front speakers in your stereo system just connect it to left and right speakers check polarity + + and - - also make sure that your speaker can handle the power of the stereo. enjoy

Ditto to what JSV said.
That horizontal one with the shorter stand is your center channel and is meant to stand in front of your TV and below it.
When shopping for a 5.1 receiver, either Denon or Sony will give you the most "bang for your buck." The Denon is of slightly higher quality.
Also, to complete the experience, you'll want a small "powered subwoofer." It has a built-in amplifier and will plug into an RCA jack on the back of the receiver.... conveniently labelled "SUBWOOFER."
If you came here just looking for a quick fix to attach those 5 speakers to your stereo output.... sorry, there isn't one. I could go into great detail about impedance and series vs. parallel and all that, but you'd probably just blow up the amp by overloading the output.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Though not an ideal setup (being as though it is not a true home theater surround sound system -rather a 5-channel stereo system), you can connect the front two speakers to your stereo amplifier (or receiver) and connect the rear speakers to your (if self-powered) subwoofer, and you're done.
Make sure you connect all of the positives ("+" or red) with the positives, and connect all the negatives ("-" or black [sometimes white]) with the negatives when you make all of your connections.

It sounds like you have surround speakers (two front, two rear and a center). Unfortunately you have to have an out put for each speaker to have it work properly. I would look into getting a new receiver that is 5.1 surround capable. make sure that the wattage that a new one puts out is equivalent or more than what your speakers are all together.

You need to by a set of jack leads. plug them into the external output on the back of the stereo system. plug the other end into the cinama system red to red and white to white if you plug them to the opposite it can blow up...

HI
CONNECT TO THE AUX ,IT'S THE AUDIO INPUT TO YOUR
RECEIVER.. IN THE BACK OF YOU RECEIVER
OR JUST PLUG IN ALL THE INPUT TO YOUR STEREO SET
FROM YOUR HOME SYSTEM, GO TO LINE 1, 2 OR3 ON YOU RECEIVER. OK
ONE MUST BE WORKING TO FIND THE CORRECT INPUT..
