Step 6Soldered connectors

here you can see a better shot of the four wires.

the soldered part of the picture still isn't really clear, but the notation might help.

again, with everything tinned, i just had to hold the wires in place and touch them with the soldering iron till the solder from both sides (wire and contact) melded together.

at this point, if you wanted to double check your work, you could plug the connector into a player to make sure all your soldered points are solid.

The notation didn't help. It would've been nice for you to have mentioned what wires to solder to what part of the jack.
