Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack. If the CD player has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack on the HT-R490 depending on the type of connector on the CD player.
