I don't have have the have the digital in/outs installled in my mpc, nor do I have turntables, how would I go about sampling sounds from other audio sources into my mpc , besides purchasing sample disks?

Plug any audio outs from something you can get sound from to the ins of the MPC.

I've used my VCR and DVD player before.

well....you have to have the right plugs.connect the 1/4 inch plugs into your mpc and the other end 2 dvd or cd player.then you can sample some cd's or dvd's or porno movies...Image

Are the cables pictured w/ ya posts the ones I need to connect the mpc to a cd player (what exactly are they called) and when u say cd player are u talking about a portable cd player and if so where would I connect the cables on the cd player?

The cable pictured above is just a 1/4" TS to RCA cable. The TS means Tip, Sleeve which means mono. TRS mean Tip, Ring, Sleeve, which is stereo. That's why there are two 1/4" plugs on that cable above... It has two mono (TS) plugs, one Left and one Right.
I think these guys were meaning talking about stereo type cd players, not portables. If you wanted to sample from a portable, you'd have to get a cable similar to the one in the pic, but instead of the two rca jacks, you'd have to get one that had a headphone jack to plug into your walkman. I think you would also need to be able to set the headphone output on the portable to 'Line Out'.
