Audio Receiver

Connect the white and red RCA audio cables into the Audio Receiver audio input ports. Use the CD or AUX or like inputs and switch the audio receiver to the input you connected so you pick up the correct source. Older audio receivers have a manual FUNCTION knob you turn to select the input source while newer receivers have an electronic knob or push buttons to select your source such as AUX. Do not use the Phono input.

If your receiver does not have enough audio inputs for all your sources, you can add an audio switchbox which allows several inputs and will output the selected source to a single audio connection to the receiver.

SPEAKERS

Most receivers have more than one set of speakers. A second set could be placed in another room. You only need to use one set so the speaker wire connects two speakers using 4 wires as shown, black (negative) to black and red (positive) to red.
