Up a Stereo System (Continued)
 Connect the Components
Place the components (not the speakers) on a
sturdy shelf, or in a stereo rack. If placed on top
of one another, make sure that the vents of each
piece are not covered, and hopefully have at least
1/2" of room to "breathe". Keep it all unplugged
for the moment.
- On the back of the CD player, fit one end of
one cable (supplied with the unit) over the
connection marked "right", follow that cable
with your fingers, and find the other end. On
the back of the receiver, there will be an area
marked "CD" or "CD Player", fit the other end of
the cable over the connection marked "right".
Repeat with the other cable, and the "left"
connections.
On the back of the tape deck, you'll find four
connections: a left and right for both the "in" (or
"record") section, and the "out" (or "play")
section. Your receiver will have a matching set of
connections, but there may be room for more than
one tape deck. It may appear as if there are more
connections than you know what to do with, but look
closely, and you'll see that it's probably marked
"tape 1" and "tape 2". Each of those sections has
only four connectors, just like the tape deck.
- Take one cable (supplied with the unit), and
follow it with your fingers to find the other
end (sometimes the cables are color coded for
ease).
Place one end over the "right" connection of
the "out" (or "play") section of the tape deck.
Place the other end of the cable over the
connection marked "right" in the "out" (or
"play") section of the "tape 1" area on the back
of the receiver. Repeat with the "left"
connectors.
Now do the same with the "right" and "left"
connections of the "in" (or "record") sections.
Remember to keep within the "tape 1" area.
That's four total connections on each side of
the cable.
If you have a turntable, you'll cable it to the
connectors in the "phono" section of the receiver.
The procedure is the same as the CD player, make
sure that "right" goes to "right" and "left" to
"left". On some turntables, the cables are
permanently attached, and the ends that connect
with the receiver are labeled.
