How to plug into reciever?

Well I have this receiver( recieved it a long time ago from my parents) http://www.sherwood-av.com.au/product/rx-5502-multi-purpose-4-channel-stereo-receiver/

and I have these pairs of speakers http://classic-hifi.net/product/jamo-e-410

and this subwoofer https://www.amazon.de/Kenwood-SW-505D-Aktiv-Subwoofer-schwarz/dp/B00005ONTM

I have recieved all of this from family memberes saying it was old and wasnt needed...as for how to do it...like I know you need a speaker cable like 16G(which is most likely what I have) But I mean placements of the speakers to the reciever

Where should the floorstanding speakers be hooked to? or the bookshelf ones? the center and the subwoofer.

Thanks in advance.

also: Does it even matter if I hook it up to A B C or D?

That receiver is only stereo, it won't do surround sound. I would use the A channel for the floor standing speakers, you will not be able to hook up the center speaker, or the rear speakers in a surround configuration. You're sub woofer should offer line-level inputs; That means that you would connect the "A" channel speaker outputs of the amplifier to the "From amplifier input" jacks on the subwoofer (do this for both the left and the right channels). You would then connect the floorstanding speakers to the "speaker output" on the subwoofer. If you wanted, you could hook the rear speakers directly to the "B" channel output on you're amplifier.
