I mean no use of a A/V processor in middle.

No. A CD player's output is what is known as "line level" this is a low level signal that is designed to be sent to another preamp and power amp. If you connected the CD player directly to the speaks very little, if any, sound would be heard.

As long as the CD player does it's own digital to analog conversion and has an amplifier for the sound, then yes. If it does it's own conversion, but relies on the stereo to provide the amplification, then you're not going to get a very rewarding experience. If it's just a CD reader and relies on the stereo to do the analog to digital conversion and amplification, then you'll pretty much get nothing intelligible.
All the old folks around here probably remember rolling paper into a megaphone and placing it directly on the needle of the phonograph to listen to records (just to say you'd done it at least once). Phonographs were recorded in analog, so there's sound, but a rolled up piece of paper sure doesn't do as good a job as the stereo you normally hook the phonograph to.

It depends on the player.. some have a 1/8" stereo jack directly on them that can go to speakers. Some only have the RCA type jack that requires an audio processor. Need more details

You need some way of powering your speakers. If the audio out on your cd player is designed to power speakers, then you might be able to do it, unless your speakers require more wattage than your cd player puts out.
If the audio out on your cd player is for plugging your player into an amplifier, then you probalby won't be able to go directly to your speakers.

You can, but you will have no volume control if there is none on the CD player. From your question, I assume that you are talking about a console stereo component to a set of standard speakers. Of course the outputs need to be compatible with the speakers' input.

NO... it takes an amplifier to drive the speakers. The CD player has almost no audio other than just a weak signal.

To some self powered ones yes.
(Like PC speakers or something..)
Its basically just a variable line-out jack.
So it cannot power any speakers, but
if the speakers already have an amp,
(built-in like computer speakers, etc)
you're all set.

Yes... that is what audio out is used for w/ the exception of head phones... My CD player has headphone jack & audio out.

Plug computer speakers into the headset port.

Yes but you will get little or no sound. You need at least an amplifier to get the sound you need to hear it clearly.
