Hello all, I need some expert assistance.

I need to hook the P-80 Fender system up to a laptop and/or some form of cd playing device. I've seen it done before with this system and some DJ used whatever he used.

I really need to just do it myself so if there is some little converter box or wire or program I need to use I'll just get it.

Honestly, i don't even know what wires I would need to hook to a laptop or cd player. I am a very technical person but just never got into DJ and audio equipment.

Any help or ideas appreciated.
Thanks

Okay grab the manual from the link I provided in the previous post. From your laptop sound out need a a mini rca stereo cable to RCA. This will have a single 1/8" stereo connector (think iPod headphone connector size) on one end and two rca connectors (think your stereo equipment connections on your home system). Connect the laptop soundcard to the two RCA connectors on the P80. Make sure the 1 / 1+2 SWITCH is in the 1+2 position. Here is the info on setting the P80 up from the manual linked above.

When setting up, be sure to follow these simple set-up
guidelines:
1. First, turn all channel Level, VIP (channel 1 ONLY) and
Rev/Aux controls to their full counterclockwise (OFF)
positions. Next, place all EQ and Master controls at 12 o’clock
in their center notched positions. Be sure to set the
appropriate input (mic/line switch position) for the source you
are setting up.
2. Next, connect each speaker cable to the Speaker outputs
on the rear tower and on each speaker front panel with the
enclosed cables.
3. Connect all sources such as microphones, tape decks,
keyboards etc., into the appropriate inputs.
4. Finally, check the local voltage and set the voltage selector
switch located adjacent to the power input socket on the rear
of the mixer / amplifier to the appropriate operating range.
(See Safety Precautions above.) Plug the power cable into the
IEC (power cord) socket on the rear of the Passport Tower
and connect the other end to a properly grounded 3 wire AC
power outlet.
POWERING UP
Turn the Power Switch to the ON position. The Power LED will
illuminate green and the system will turn on. If other powered
equipment is to be attached to the system, it is always
advisable to turn on your Passport last. In this way any
transient spikes and thumps caused by other equipment will
not be amplified and sent to your system speakers. For the
same reasons it is advisable to turn off your Passport system
first before turning off the attached equipment.

Good luck,
Chris
