Will these speakers work with a Sony CDP-CE500? If not, what speakers will work with that compact disc player?

I would also agree the Sony STRDH130 2-channel receiver would be a good choice to use with the CD player you mentioned. I just recently purchased one and its absolutely fine to get the job done.

"Big D" is correct. The CDP-CE500 is *only* a CD player, not an amplifier. These are not powered speakers (they do not have a built-in amplifier), which means they require an external amplifier (such as the STRDH130). If you bought powered speakers, the CD player could plug direct into them.

I don't see why not... They are normal bookshelf speakers that would be best suited for a 2 channel system

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.

You must run these speakers through a receiver. I have an inexpensive Pioneer 5.1 Receiver and I really like the sound from these speakers. Your TV will not power this speaker system.

Ralph, These speakers are for a home theater system only. I am using my speakers' with a Yamaha receiver and my Sony 46" flat screen to replace the weak speakers' that comes with most flat screens tvs'. What a difference it makes when we are watching a movie or just watching tv. Great sounding speakers for the money! Hope this helps! Abby

The speakers should not make a difference. I have Bose 301 speakers and it works just fine with this Onkyo CD player.

Chris, I was told by an Alpine wholesaler that repaired my DVD player that they would work with any unit, but I'll tell you what, I have a Clarion and another unit that I can't recall the brand. I will test them on those two players and let you know. The headphones are on the road right now but will be in the shop on Tuesday. If you want me to test them for you, send me an email at jeffjones18@yahoo.com on Tuesday 2/11, to remind me and I will test them and let you know for sure!

My speakers do not use the digital interface, but I am using 5.1 speakers. If your speakers use the digital interface, I don't see any reason why they would not work in 5.1.

They do not work on mine. I've hooked it up with the headphone input and now with the digital audio out. If you use a component hook up, you may get sound from both.

I am using my pinoneer speakers which are about 15 years old. They sound great. So as long as you have any decent set of speakers, they will work fine with the receiver.

We have the boldness and CD system. Yes the speakers work great with the system . We are big music lovers . And we wanted portable speakers so we could listen to them outside . They work great. At one time we had a very expensive stereo system. Now we found this system and we are so happy that we did not have to spend a lot of money to listen to good music anymore. So yes they work great and easy to set up.

I'm not sure about the Sony speakers. I use A JVC active/passive speaker set that works fine

I have these hooked up to a Sony receiver. Not sure of the outputs on your dvd player. Does it have speaker terminals? if not then these will not work with it. Hope this helps. WDJ

Yes, they sure will. I notice the CD player skips toward the end of CDs no matter what disc. Other than that plays fine.

Hi Michael, Amazon asked me to answer but I'm sorry to say, I don't know. I actually found these speakers because I have never been able to get my Sony ALTUS S-AIR Wireless PC10T speakers to work!

The speakers require amplification which very few DVD players provide. You'll need some sort of amplifier (such as a receiver) to use them. Make sure the receiver you get has at least 5.1 channel amplification (as opposed to only stereo). I would ask around in a forum dedicated to audio/home theater such as avsforum.com (search the forum to see if others have already asked and been answered).
