Making External Input/Output Connections Connecting an external audio source to the Wave/PC™ unit RL AUX IN You can use the Wave/PC unit as extension speakers for an external audio source, such as a tape or CD player. Connect the external source to the right and left AUX IN jacks (Figure 43). Most audio cables are color coded. Match the red plug to the R (red) jack and the black or white plug to the L (white) jack. For cable information, see "Input connection details" on page 52.

Most audio cables are color coded. Using the cable you received with the speakers, connect the red plug to the R (red) jack and the black or white plug to the L (white) jack. If your speaker cable has three connectors on each end, use only the two connectors that look alike. DO NOT USE THE THIRD CONNECTOR. Note: Connecting cables to the VARIABLE OUT jacks shuts off the speakers in the Wave/PC unit. PDF259774_00 April 12, 2001 51
