I have an old CD ( Creative 48X ) and I want to use it to play music CD, so I need a rca output, a energize the CD, and maybe a display, hou could I do that?
 
Ummmmm, put it in a computer with a soundcard?

If you don't have the parts on hand and all you want to do is play CD's, you can get a portable CD player for about $40.
 
What are you trying to do?? Play CDs with an old CDR without a computer attached?? Sure you can do it. Just power the thing, plug the amp into the headphone jack on the front or adapt a cable from the audio out on the rear to the amplifyer. Many CDRs have have start/stop & skip track button on fron them. My friend had one in his car hooked to the tape deck years ago when car CDs were expensive or was he just cheap??? R.
 
I don't understand what you're trying to do. Just put it in a regular system and then attach the audio cable to the sound card. Or put headphones in the headphone jack.
 
Anyone who puts a CD-ROM in a car to use as a deck must be nuts! That thing would skip on every minor imperfection in the road. If you're too cheap to buy a real deck, for the same price you can get a portable CD player with anti-skip hooked up through the cassette deck.
 
This was years ago. I bought a Sony CD Walkman at the same time. The player cost $250, $80 for the power supply, $40 for the car to tape adapter. Now you can get the same thing for $40. I also had just purchased a CD burner, 1X SCSI, constantly made coasters. Cost $500. R.
