Title: Jukebox to receiver?
Post by: Chazz on December 21, 2008, 11:09:26 am

Hey gang!
I'd like to connect my Jukebox to my stereo receiver if possible.  The jukebox has your basic speaker wire coming out, Left and Right with positive and negative wires from the speaker wire, and I'd like to connect it to my Audio In on my stereo Left and Right.

My question is, is it possible to connect the speaker wire some how to the receiver?  How would I wire both the positive and negative to a connector so I can plug it into the RCA plugs? 

Any input would be great!!

Thanks a bazillion!!

You'll need some sort of line-level adapter to take those outputs and convert them into RCA plugs.  If you try to straight wire it, you'll most likely blow the inputs on your receiver.

Something like this:

Check your amp and see if it might possibly have connection for AUX out.  My older ROWE amp has phono in, aux in, AND aux out.    On mine it's a a 5 pin connector with ground in the center, inputs on the outer 2,and the other 2 are the outputs.

I can't tell what model jukebox that is, but from the title cards it looks like CDs.  Aren't there RCA jacks coming into the amp already from the CD Player?  Couldn't you just put a splitter in there and connect it to your receiver also?
