Materials/equipment
- RCA cables (2 male to 2 male)
- 3.5mm to RCA connector cable
Here are the steps involved:
Step 1: Check for AUX Input
1. Ensure that your job site radio has an auxiliary (AUX) input port available.
Step 2: Prepare the Cables
1. Take the 3.5mm to RCA connector cable and connect the 3.5mm end to the headphone jack of the portable CD player.
2. Connect the two male RCA ends of the RCA cable to the corresponding red and white AUX input ports on the job site radio.
Step 3: Verify Audio Output
1. Ensure that the job site radio has the "AUX" setting or external input selected as its music source.
2. Play a CD on the portable CD player. If connected correctly, you should hear the audio playback coming through the job site radio speakers.
By following these steps, you can successfully connect a portable CD player to a job site radio. This allows you to play audio CD files through the larger and powerful speakers of the job site radio, making it ideal for outdoor or noisy work environments.
