The wires ARE insulated - they very likely have a thin plastic or enamel
coating (which is responsible for the color) and you have to scrape through
that before they can be soldered. Use an X-acto or other small, sharp blade,
and scrape 'em down to shiny metal. (My guess would be that the green and
red and the right and left channels - God only knows which is which - while
the coppers are the returns, and could safely be swapped.)
