Setting Up 
One at a time 
For each separate component you add, there is a simple two-step process:
1. Connect the ends of one RCA cable:
•to the audio output of the component you will use with the radio, and
•to one of the three pairs of INPUT jacks on the pedestal (Figure 5).
When inserting the connectors, be sure to connect red-to-red and white-to-white
