I thought it would be easier than this, so I hope you guys can help me. Right now, I have the memorex mx4501. (http://www.memcorpinc.com/html/product_detail.php?PID=117&FID=7&SID=1&opento=100 6) I am trying to hook it up to an amplifier, and hopefully power 2 sets of speakers, however right now I am just trying to get the first set working. I ran the speaker wire from the 2first set of speakers to the amplifier on the top row of connections (A). I then connected the amplifier to the cd player using aux cables. I figured that would be all I would have to do for it work, but Its not working. I know that I probably didn't word all of that right, but I did the best I could. I hope you guys can figure out what I'm trying to ask. I obviously dont know alot about this sortof stuff, so I could use all the help you can give. Thanks in advance. -Ryan |

New member Username: GodspeedgtPost Number: 3 Registered: Jul-05 | theres a red and a white connector.. says aux. I just used auxilary cables from the cd player to the amplifier. On the back of the amplifier theres an auxilary input. (Terminology is probably wrong). The amplifier im using was being used before with a different cd deck, and a synthesizer. Atleast I think it's called a synthesizer. Would that help anything? |
