Trouble connecting my audio components.

If your's is truly "Receiver", it should have multiple audio inputs - this is where you connect "audio out" from your CD player and CD recorder.
Some receivers have also "audio out", sometimes labeled as "monitor out", where you can connect "audio in" of the recorder.

Without model numbers of your equipment, we can't give more detailed help.

Question from David_724 : "connect cd recorder"

How do I connect my Onkyo TC MR656 receiver to my Sony CDP-CX55 Player, to my Teac CD RW890 MKII cd recorder?

Your Sony CDP manual: https://docs.sony.com/release//CDPCX55.pdf (there is a wiring diagram)
Your Teac CD-RW manual: http://www.teac.com/content/downloads/products/949/cd-rw890mk2_om_efs_vb.pdf (there is wiring diagram, too)

I can't find the Onkyo model you've listed, but it has a manual, too.

For playback connect each to any analog audio inputs on the back of the receiver except phono. You may have to assign this connection in the receiver input menu to activate it.
The receiver doesn't have a record output so you would need to connect the optical audio output of the Sony to the optical audio input on the CDR. Select that as you input. It will also give you the best quality as you avoid converting digital to analog and back to digital. If you wanted to record from other sources you would need to add an additional analog connection to the CDR.
