can you use a laptop computer and cd player with this item and what kind of cables would I need

Yes I use a laptop or an MP3 player for music when taking a break @ any given solo acoustic guitar gig. I use a 1/8" in with two RCA jack out cable. Plug the 1/8" jack into the laptop then the two RCA outs convert to two 1/4" jack that plug into two channels of the ECX512SC. Then just pot the volume level up & your set. You can purchase the cable & jacks from Radio Shack for like 5-7 bucks.

YES. You can play/record from a PC with audio in/out. Use 3.5mm at the PC end, and RCA at the Yamaha. The guy at Radio Shack can sell the right connections.

Of Course, rca cables, 3.5mm to rca. 3.5mm to the laptop/cd players, rrca ends red and white to the right and left inputs!

Yes can be! You need 3.5mm stereo male to 2 male RCA audio cable for iphone, ipod, computer and for CD player you need RCA audio cable
1314062
Yes you can. You will need a red and white cable. Like the one you would use for your tv.

Yes. For both the Laptop or CD Player you will need an adapter cable with an 1/8" Stereo Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) plug on one end and Two Mono RCA plugs on the other. The TRS plug goes into the Line/Headphone Out of the Laptop or CD Player and the RCA plugs go into the Left and Right Line Inputs of either Channels 9/10 or 11/12. In general, the volume of the Source should be less than the Mixer to avoid distortion. Be sure to turn the Volume Off on the Mixer Channels before starting to play your Source material then raise it slowly once the audio starts. Hope this helps. C

From a CD play to the adapter all you need is a auxiliary cable that has both male ends. One plugs into the cd player and the otger plugs into the adapter

Hi, I can play both a CD and DVD on this laptop. It is very versatile. I am happy with my purchase.

Hi, well I can't answer these questions cause my ex-wife that it is in she don't use those things. But the radio and cd player work great and that what she wanted. Sorry.

Sorry but this laptop has no CD player at all. You can add an external one.

Yes is the answer but an HD Cable would be a lot better with better clarity and sound, amazon have them at the best price, if you don't have a n HD port on your computer, I believe there is a connector made USB/HD .

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways. Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

You need an audio interface. If you get a USB interface there will be a cable supplied that goes from the interface to the computer. If you want to use a guitar then of course you need a regular guitar cable to go to the interface.

No Joy, you don't HAVE to buy speakers for this.. but if you want to listen to the audio output you'll either need headphones or speakers + speaker cable + an amplifier.If you only want to 'rip' CDs to USB devices, you don't need either but you won't hear anything.

You will need a cable with a male XLR plug on the speaker side and most likely a male 3.5mm stereo plug for the computer side.

You can get it at the cable matters site and download it. I did it this way because my computer is an asus transformer t100 and do not have CD drive.

Yes any DVD player, VCR, Antenna, Cable or HD Receiver as well as PC, Audio Systems, sound bars, headphone and USB drive

Certainly. All you need is a cable with the same plug on each end as will fit the sound output on your laptop.

You would need an optical audio output from the laptop which is not standard. Your best bet for high quality sound from your setup would be to use separate speakers and amplifier and get the sound from your laptop directly from the line output jack. You would need a 3.5mm stereo cable with RCA plugs on the other end.

There should be an included cable it should have usb on one end and cd drive plug on other

I doubt this will be much help, but I own these and have never needed cables for them. Ever. If your computer has the necessary outlet you should be good to go for headphones, etc. My brother owned a set and I saw how nice his sounded and decided then I could really use a better sound speaker for my laptop - I wish they could work with my TV as well! I hope this helped you somewhat. I found these to work very well and they were a welcomed change. Hope you enjoy yours too!

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
