Thank you for your question!

The Bose 301 Series V speaker is a passive speaker, so you would have to use a non-Bose receiver/amplifier in order to power them. Once you have your speakers connected to the receiver/amplifier using speaker wire you would need to connect your CD Player into a stereo line input using an RCA stereo cable. If you need any assistance with getting this set up, please contact Bose Product and Technical Support at 1-800-711-5772 - 8:30AM-10:00PM M-F, Sat 9-7:00 EST.

Unless you have a CD player with a built-in amplifier, the speakers will not work in this combination. Your device must have speaker outputs.
