Connecting The Receiver

Now you need to connect the receiver to your PC. You will need a cable that at one end is a stereo mini jack plug (also called P2, is the same plug used by walkmans, discmans and MP3 players to connect the headset) and at the other end are two RCA plugs. If you have trouble finding this cable, just look for “a cable to connect my discman to my home stereo” on the stores. Check it out in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Cable used to connect your receiver to your PC.

The RCA plugs will be installed on the output labeled “Tape Out” of your receiver, while the mini jack plug will be installed on the input labeled “Line In” of your PC. Just connect the red (or yellow) male RCA plug from the cable to the red (or yellow or labeled “R” or labeled “Right”) plug on the receiver and the white (or black) male RCA plug from the cable to the white (or black or labeled “L” or labeled “Left”) plug on the receiver. Pay attention to connect the cable to the right place – “Tape Out”. You will need a receiver with this output available.
