Can you plug a receiver directly into this to use as a speaker, and how well is the sound of a CD playing through it?

you could if you had a convert cable from rca jacks to 1/4 inch. but it might not sound all that well as this is designed to amplify a passive signal and usually cd players and some recievers have at least a bit of voltage, this will cause quite a bit of distortion. try another amp like a behringer gm 108 , or a fender rumble 15 watt. i have both of those and each has inputs for pre amplified sources. i hope that helped

I would not use this for such an approach. Your sound would be much better with much simpler devices. This is a guitar amp and has a classic fender guitar sound - it would be hollow for MP3's or streaming music/sound.

This ues a standard 1/4" Jack lilke all electric guitars and profesonal mikes, ear phones. You can get an adapter to go to the 1/8" Jack like you find on mp3 players and so on. and yes it sounds good. I have played music on it form my cell phone and it will blow you out of the house

I don't know about the receiver and its pretty hard to figure out the cd. I never could find where to plug it in. This was the only amp I've ever bought. It's not to loud but you won't get a lot if sound out of it.

These are not powered (amplified) speakers. You will need to use them with a standard-style (powered output) receiver. If your CD player goes through a receiver first, then yes. You can not go straight from a CD player to the speakers.

Hello Oscar,You are completely right.You can surely conect any externa source of sound , you just need RCA outputs at your source device or any kind of output with the adapter cable.I have my audio player connected with the "mini jack" to RCA cable and it works great, so your CD player will work as well.Hopefully you will have as much fun with this "baby", as I have. GREAT sound .Regards.Marek

You could use RCA out (red and white connectors) on your stereo receiver to the RCA input on the amp. Because it doesn't have speaker binding posts you can't use it to replace an amp in your system, per se, of course there are workarounds, but as a headphone amp for a CD, SACD, digital stream, etc., through your stereo receiver it should work beautifully. Hope that helps.~Christian

Yes, TTB answered very well. My Teac A-790A has served me very well in handling a CD player, turntable, and cassette deck. You will, of course, need speakers (unless you use only headphones), and this receiver allows you to use two sets of speakers--if you desire.

Hi, this Sony CD player requires a speaker system or you may connect it to an amplifier or receiver to here the sounds. This unit doesn't have a build in speakers. -Ely

I am familiar with that specific receiver, however, if it has Bluetooth capabilities it should be able to connect with speaker. Keep it mind that this a small speaker with good sound quality , yet it is not a replacement for a main speaker system.

This is a CD player with toslink s/pdif and -10dB RCA outputs. The unit cannot drive passive speakers directly. You would need a receiver or integrated amplifier or pre-amp/amplifier combination to use with external speakers unless the speakers are "active monitors". IF active monitors you would need a preamplifier or mixer. Hope this information helps

An external CD player? Sure. Why not? I assume that it has an RCA output. Use the included adapter and connect it into the AUX input on the soundbar.

I have respoded to this question twice before. I don't know because I only use it to play cd's. Don't ask me again

You can think of this as USB (or in-line) Speaker with microphone inputs. There is no CD or video on this unit.If you can play CD on your PC, then you can route the audio output to this device,

Yes, because of the USB capabilities, I believe this model has a pre-amp already installed in it. Some receivers have a pre-amp installed, if there is a "phono" input. Mine does not and I use the "CD" input. I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could connect the turntable directly to speakers and it would be fine.

There is an analog out and an optical out... either running RCAs or optical cable. The unit doesn't have enough power to run speakers on it's own... that is why a separate receiver is needed. If you have a set of powered computer speakers with a volume that is also another option as long as it has RCAs or optical in!!

I have not used the receiver with usb input. Phono and CD input plus receiver provide all of my quality listening. Old school input I know.

No, I have it hooked up to speakers. I don't see why it wouldn't play the CD R Ws. I haven't, but I think it could.

With your CD player, yes. With your receiver, no. It is an active sound bar designed to connect directly to your TV ( it does not require or work with a receiver). You can plug it into your TV and still plug your CD player into it as well. If you're looking for a solution that will work with your receiver the Atlantic Technology FS 7.1 is your best bet.

Try plugging it in to an electrical outlet. Given that you will also need an amplifier with speakers. The amplifier/receiver will need to have a place where you can plug a patch cord in from the CD player and a switch which will select the CD player.
