About connecting an ipod to home audio system+scratches

i have sony CMT-HPZ9 micro system at home and trying to connect the ipod to it, and it says that i need a 2.5mm jack. What kind of cable do i need to connect them...?
and also, there were some scratches on the back of the ipod when i bought it 2 days ago and was wondering if scratches are common on ipods. If it is not common i was thinking about exchanging it for a new one;;.
well
thanks

1) Go to your local electronics store 1 that sell ipods like best buy. Ask for a easy solution to conect your ipod to your home stereo. THat will mostl likely give you the needed cables you need i know that griffin technology sell 1.

2)Scratches occur on the ipod adn on any ipod for that fact. retuening the ipod just because of scratches is foolish. Scratches is not covered under the warranty of the ipod because it is not cause from faulty equipment. The best solution is to try and use a solutuion like brasso or ice kremem to remove the scratches.Brasso is probably the bst for the back of the ipod. SEARCH online before trying this on how to remove thre scratches!
Then get a good case for the ipod because of the tendency to scratch like this case.

and it would ehlp to have a clear film to protect the front of the ipod too ASAP.

    My wife's 5th generation Nano will not play through my home audio system connected with a monster rca cable at the system end and connects to the ipod through the ipod connector (no sound comes through my system, only sound is from the nano speaker). It works fine in both boom boxes that we have.  My classic ipod 30gb works fine in my home system.

    Contact the vendor of your home audio system.  They should be able to tell you the adapters you need.

  • Universal Adapter with Home Audio Systems

    I recently purchased the Universal Adapter for my Ipod in order to make it easier to connect and disconnect from my home audio system. Things work fine when the Audio cable is directly connected to the port in the Ipod, When I place the Ipod in the Universal dock and try to use the "line out" in the dock, either no sound or very muffled sound occurs.

  • No sound on my home audio system with universal dock

    Hi,
    I have 2 docks: the iPod dock and the universal dock.
    If I use the dock with my home audio system I have sound - clear and loud.
    If I use the universal dock I have no sound.
    Does the universal dock only work with a remote?

    If the home audio system is the same, the cables are the same, the iPod is the same, and the settings are the same, than I would assume you have a bad dock.

  • Is it a solution to use Apple TV and VoiceOver to play my tunes on my home audio system?

    hi, i am visually impaired and want to be able to have voice access to browse my music so that i can easily play them on my home system. when i saw that apple tv supports voice over, this idea came to my mind to have an apple tv connected to my home audio system and share my library on my computer to be able to browse it using apple tv with voice over enabled. this way i have access to my music library and via voice. but i couldn't find a good tutorial to approve if my idea is correct or not. please give me feedback to know if my idea is a correct one or essentially it is not a good solution for such problem.
    thanks a lot

    Yes it should work ok.
    I don't use it normally but once enabled Voice Over states the current menu position.  If the position has submenus it says 'button'.
    For example, I have 2 itunes libraries running currently.
    As I scroll across the columns using a right keypress it says something like  Main Menu and:
    Movies  (right keypress)   Internet   (right keypress) Computers
    On pressing select on Computers the submenu opens showing both shared libraries:
    AlleyCat Mac Mini
    AlleyCat Mac Pro
    The Voice Over announces 'Alley Cat Mac Mini,  Button, One of Two'
    Button seems to indicate a submenu.
    Pressing down key on remote it announces 'Alley Cat Mac Pro, Button, Two of Two'
    Selecting either library lists the media content categories:
    Music / TV Shows / Podcasts etc (order may be different)
    It announces say 'Music, Button, 1 of 6'
    Pressing select ('button') opens the Music category.
    You then have several subcategories inclusing Shuffle/ Search / Music Videos/ Album Artist/ Album / Genre/ Genius etc etc
    I'd personally like Artist at the top but it should be easy to navigate down with a few clicks and you'll soon remember which menu number is your preferred category.
    One say is Artist, there's Shuffle or similar at the top then all artists listed alphabetically.
    So I have maybe:
    a-Ha
    ABBA
    ABC
    Academy of Ancient Music
    Alanis Morrisette
    Alisson Krauss
    etc
    etc
    As you scroll down it says the artist name pretty well for most and says say ABBA, Button, 3 of 227'
    Select takes you to the album/track submeny and process procedes.
    The Apple remote is very simple and should work well, though i think the older white one is more tactile than the new silver one.

  • Help with home audio system

    I'm looking to buy a home audio system mainly for listening to music and such in my home especially when i have parties. I was looking at the mtx tp1200 speakers because they are relativly cheap and i think a good quality speaker for the money but im not sure what kind of reciever i need to buy. The speakers are 150watts each so i was thinking maybe one of these two options:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Yamaha+-+525W+5.1-Ch.+A/V+3D+Pass-Through+Home+Theater+Receiver/9785055....
    or
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Denon+-+550W+5.1-Ch.+3D+Pass+Through+A/V+Home+Theater+Receiver/2127161.p...
    can someone help me out and give me some suggestions as to which would be better or if you know of another system that would be good. Thanks a lot

    What devices are you connecting to the receiver? If you're connecting older video sources I would lean toward the Yamaha since it has component & composite video inputs. It also has more digital audio inputs. I can not remember off the top of my head if the Yamaha does HDMI upconversion. I do prefer Denon as a brand. I find them a lot more user friendly. If you're connecting everything via HDMI I would hands down take the Denon.
    Honestly if all you're connecting is a pair of speakers and your only source is a CD player the Sony STR-DH100 or Insignia NSR-2001 will do the job. I've installed both receivers for home audio and theyvre done excellent. I actually installed the Insignia for a business not too long ago and it was powering four in-ceiling speakers pretty well.
    I'd still lean toward the Denon though if you plan on upgrading to a surround sound.

  • Re: Connection To Home Audio System

    I have currently upgraded my phone to the Nokia N80 which i have to admit is so far the best phone i have ever had to date. The problem i am having is trying to figure out how i can connect my phone to my Technics Audio system. It mentions something about the UPnP technology to be able to do this but so far after hours of searching on the internet i still have found nothing on how this can be done. I got all sorts of extra gadgets with my phone like headset, data cable and 2 other things, one of which is a small cable with the coding CA-44 on it and one of which looks like a bluetooth dongle which connects to your phone and has a small black square on the opposite end. Are these anything to do with how i connect to my audio system or can anyone help me with this matter. Thank you.

    Hi,
    what you can also do that is less complex is get yourself the Nokia Music pack what you need is the Nokia Audio Adapter AD-15: Simply is Pop-Port to phone, 3.5 mm plug to headphones lets you listen to your phone's FM radio or MP3 player through your own standard stereo headphones, compatible car stereo, or audio amplifier
    And ... the Nokia Audio Cable CA-72U: 3.5 mm connector to phone and two RCA connectors to home entertainment system connects your compatible phone to a home stereo system for stereo playback or recording.
    Then you are good to go....

  • Apple TV won't connect properly to Sony home theatre system using hdmi cable.

    Using an HDMI cable to the port on the home theatre system I can get sound, but the picture is intermittent. It Comes on for 1second, goes of for 10 seconds.
    If I connect directly to the TV using the HDMI to DVI-D cable it works, but because I am using a Fujitsu plasmavision it is a monitor only with no speakers.
    Would really like to get this to work and don't understand why the video signal is intermittent from the blueray player. Other inputs into the player through the HDMI port work OK (such as a set top box).

    Just installed my Vizio SoundBar with my new LG TV & Apple TV 2... The trick to get the Apple TV 2 to send audio to the Soundbar is on the Apple TV Menu under audio change it to 16 bit. Boom it works.

  • Trouble w/ the connection from my Panasonic Home Theater System

    So I recently purchased
    Panasonic - 5.1-Ch. 3D Blu-ray Home Theater System
    Panasonic - 50" Class / 720p / 600Hz / Plasma HDTV
    and I already have a Att u-verse Box at my house
    now I have the home theatre system and the ATT uverse connected to the TV with their own HDMI cables. The Att is connected to the 1st HDMI port and the home theatre is connected to the 2nd HDMI port.
    The guy at the store said I could get surround sound when I'm watching cable if I got a Rocketfish Digital Optical Audio Cable and plugged it in to my uverse box,
    but now I'm confused because I tried plugging it in from the uverse box to the TV and that didn't work, then i tried connecting it from the uverse box to the theatre system and that didn't work,
    but the loop hole we found is that if we unplug the HDMI cable that is connecting the theatre system to the TV (only unplugged from the TV), we can hear the cable on surround sound, but if it's plugged in we can't hear it, so now we have to unplug and plug in to watch movies or cable, but that's way too frustrating to deal with, does anyone know how to fix this so my surround sound works with everything w/o having to unplug?

    Do this:
    Check your manuals for the exact ports and menu settings for the following, the TV should have come with a poster that shows the connections as well.
    Take the Rocketfish cable back to BB You can only get 5.1 surround over optical from your Panasonic TV when using the internal tuner, and other source, like HDMI will be limited to 2.1 audio.
    then
    1 - HDMI from your cable box to HDMI 2 on your Panny TV.
    2 - HDMI port 1 which should be labeled ARC from your Panny TV to the HDMI OUT port on your Panny reciever. It should also be labeled ARC.
    3 - Turn on Viera Link on both the TV and the reciever.

  • Connecting iPad to a home docking system

    I just bought a Sony home docking system, it has a iPhone and iPod dock. I thought I could use my ipad2 and USB cord and play my I tunes off it. But it does not support iPad. So my question is are there any other ideas I could try. Thanks

    Hey guys,
    If you need to show a web page during your presentations you should give Expedition-The VGA out browser for iPad a try. It lets you show a web browser on the projector screen and can even play HTML5 video on a page on the projector. Also has a laser pointer feature just like keynote.

  • Connect iBook to Bang&Olufsen Audio System

    I have tons of music on my iBook and want to play it through my Bang&Olufson Audio System. Does somebody know how to connect ?

    Run a patch cord from the audio out on the iBook to the audio in on your stereo. If you don't have a mini jack input on the stereo, Monster (and others) make a 1/8" stereo (mini) to RCA cable.

  • Playing iPod on home computer system

    I need some advice regarding playing iTunes-purchased songs over my home computer system. I've seen various products that permit one to load music files onto a hard drive component linked to the stereo and even link to TV screens to control song selection, etc. None that I can find will play any songs purchased from iTunes. My house is set up in a way that does not easily permit plugging my iPod directly into the stereo and Air Tunes requires me to be at my computer to control song selection, etc. I just want remote access to song files (my house is fully wired) but don't want to give up all the iTunes music I've purchased. What am I missing? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance.

  • Connecting MACBOOK to home audio system - via 'headphone' jack?

    When setting up the MACBOOK to deliver its audio output to an amplifier/receiver, how is that best done?
    That is, I assume a y-cable (stereo mini plug-to-(2) RCA plugs) might not be the best way, since it's taking a 'headphone' level signal to what are supposed to be 'line level' inputs.
    But are there other better ways of doing this, given that the 'headphone out' is all the MACBOOK has?
    Thanks.

    Just realized that was a full size Toslink and not the mini one on a MacBook. You could either use an adapter or a purpose-built full-size Toslink to mini optical.
