Receivers are the hubs for home electronic systems. They let you connect televisions, DVD players, CD players, turntables, MP3 players, video gaming consoles and other components. Though many receivers have built-in radio tuners, you can connect an additional tuner for satellite radio or high definition (or HD) radio and run that through your current receiver. Doing so is no different than connecting anything else. It only involves a couple of wires.
Instructions
1. Locate an available set of audio input ports on the back of your receiver. The ports will be a pair of round holes, one red and one white, and labeled with a specific name such as "CD" or "Video 2." Connect one end of your RCA audio wires to these ports. Be sure to match the colors correctly.
2. Locate the audio output ports on the back of your external tuner. These will be identical to the ports you found on your receiver. Connect the other ends of the wires to these ports, again matching the correct colors.
3. Tune your receiver to receive an audio signal. The mode will be the same one you selected in Step 1 (CD, Video 2, etc.). The modes can usually be shifted via buttons on your remote, or a single button or dial on your tuner labeled something like "input" or "source."
