Connect external amplified speakers

Hi,
My daughter asks if it is possible to connect external amplified speakers to her Sat Pro P 200, and if so, how please ?
eg perhaps an old set of Altec Lansing ATP5's.
Thanks.

You can connect the speakers via the headphone socket and still use the radio.
You cannot switch between radio and music via the remote, only via the menu on the iPod.

  • Connecting external speakers to TV model 50L2200U

    I purchased a 3 pc speaker set that connects with the 1/8" audio jack.  My problem is I can't disable the TV speakers and control the sound with my TV remote with the external amplified speakers hooked up. Any ideas?

    Do your speakers respond to remote commands directly? On my Toshiba TV, I turned down my TV speakers all the way. When I set up my external speakers, it had me press the volume up and volume down buttons so it could learn those buttons. Instead, I hit the rewind and fast-forward buttons (reverse and forward, perhaps?) instead. So my volume up and down buttons control the TV's speakers and by rewind and fast-forward buttons control my sound system. It's been working really well for me actually.

  • How to connect external speakers to Satellite A100-451

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite A100-451 (UK) running Vista. I want to connect external speakers. There is a 'headphones' jack on the front (3.5mm jack I think), can I connect external speakers here? The speakers are 'PC Line' with their own power supply and also have a 3.5mm jack plug).
    Thanks
    KK

    You need the audio Line-out put and the headphone jack provides this output.
    In other words you can use this jack to connect the external speakers

  • Sound - My built speakers do not show in the output section in sound system preferences area only digital out hence unless I connect external speakers I have no sound - can anyone assist?

    on my IMac the internal speakers have ceased working - in the sound preferences area only digital out sound is there no internal speakers to choose so unless I connect external speakers I have no sound

    Hey Jack (woofman jack)
    Sounds like the micro switch inside the output jack that switches the audio from internal to external is stuck on external. Try plugging a set of buds, headphones or digital Toslink adapter in and out a few times to see if it will unstick the micro switch. You also might try jiggling a tooth pick around inside the audio output jack to see if that unsticks it? If not then you'll need to make an appointment at your Local Apple Store or Apple Service Provider and have the jack serviced.

  • How do I connect my MacBookPro to my external amp/speakers.

    How do I connect my MacBookPro to my external amp/speakers.
    There's is no choice in sys pref to choose LINE OUT, only INTERNAL SPEAKERS.

    The headphone jack is your combo headphone/line out. You use a mini plug on the MBP end and, depending on your external amp/speakers, either a mini jack or a pair of RCA jacks.
    PS. Your OS X level can't be 10.3.7 ... MacBook Pro's were first delivered with OS X Tiger 10.4.

  • Connecting external speakers

    i just got my macbook pro and a led cinema display. i have connected my Harman Kardon SoundSticks to the mbp with a rca jack and cannot see those speakers in the system preferences sound section. the internal speakers and the cinema display speakers show up. any suggestions?
    thanks.

    When you connect external speakers to your MacBook Pro, under Sound, they will still come up under Internal Speakers, but with the name 'Headphones' instead. Hope that clears any confusion up!
    Also, to switch between the display speakers and the Harmon/Kardon externals, just click the name (either Display Audio or Headphones)
    Cheers

  • Trouble connecting external speakers

    I'm connecting external speakers using RCA cables from the speakers to the headphone jack on my iMac. When I do so, under Preferences--->Sound--->Output, the "Internal Speakers" changes to "Digital Out" as I believe it should. However, I am getting no sound from the speakers (which work fine with other devices). The "Mute" button is not checked and I can't figure out what the problem is.
    I'm running 10.6.5 and the speakers are M-Audio Studiophile AV40.
    Any thoughts?

    The jack on the iMac is 1/8" mini stereo, I assume your "RCA cable" has that kind of plug on the end you plugged into your Mac's headphone out?
    Your AV40's are analog speakers, not digital. In +Preferences > Sound > Output+ it should say +Headphones > Built-In Output.+
    Sorry to ask a couple of simple questions, but
    1- did you plug into the headphone output or the line-in jack on your iMac?
    2- when you remove the plug, do the iMac internal speakers work?

  • How do I connect directly to external wall speakers with my iPhone

    Hi All,
    In the shop where I work they have a couple of speakers built into the wall. There is a wall plate where a person could connect to these speakers with a stereo. (two wires for each speaker) Can I connect directly to these speakers with some sort of a breakout wire coming off the iPhone's 3.5mm headphone jack (suggestions) or the iPhone's dock connector (suggestions). I just want to listen to random music from my iPhone and I really don't want to buy a speaker system for my iphone for this location.
    Thanks,
    KDC

    No. The iPhone doesn't have the power to drive speakers. If you can get to the input of the amp that feeds those speakers, then you do what you want.

  • How to connect external speakers to new macbook

Anyone know what i might do to make this work?

    Try going into System Preferences>>Sound and see if you have an option to pick the Bose speakers from the Output list.

  • ITunes and external amplifier (no Airport Express)

    Running iTunes 7.7.1 and want to run line level out of my Macbook Pro directly into my external amplifier. I've got the right cable (I think) and have set up my receiver/amp properly (running the left/right into the CD audio in). However, I can't get the signal to make it through to the speakers. My receiver is old enough that it doesn't tell me if a signal is coming in, but I can't see any reason it wouldn't be (and I know the receiver works). I can hook up ear buds to the headphones port and hear the music as well. I shouldn't need an Airport Express for this direct connection, should I?
    Any ideas? Any preferences in iTunes that I need to get set correctly? Thanks.

    There are no settings in iTunes other than volume that would affect this. Do other sounds from your Mac play through the amp (e.g. system sounds or sounds from a web site)? If not, then check the Sound system preference and make sure the appropriate output is selected. If it is, you may have a bad cable (it needs to be a 1/8" stereo to dual RCA) or something misset on the amp.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't connect to remote speakers via AE

    I just finished reconfiguring my home network. I believe the Airport Express is happily connected wirelessly to the network (though it doesn't seem to be making the signal to the iPad any stronger) since its light is green and it can be seen on both the iBook (running 10.4.11) and the iMac (running 10.6.8). I use the iBook almost exclusively to play music which is stored on an external HD on a set of external speakers directly connected. iTunes on the iBook is 9.2.1 (5). Re configuring the home wireless network freed the AE to be  moved to the home theater setup and I want to play my music on those speakers using airtunes. The AE is plugged into a power strip which it doesn't share, its light is green, an audio cable connects it to the in port on the speakers which the manual indicates is the correct port. The speakers are on, that port is selected. I can see the speakers in the speaker list in iTunes and they are selected. When I select a piece of music, it says connecting to the speakers then says the network connection failed. Can anyone point me to where to look or how to find where the connection failed?

    I am also experiencing this. However it is going one device at a time. I have an iMac and macmini close to (cable connected) to a timecapsule. First the iMac showed this (just not accepting connection to express/airport speaker). Then the macmini and now 1 of 2 iPhones. The MacBook air does still connect though. At one point I did see an error message briefly, -100056 I think.
    Anyone got any ideas?

  • Cannot connect to remote speakers using Airport Express

    Yesterday I was able to connect to my hi-fi using remote speakers in iTunes 6.0.4 through my Airport Express (AE) and take full advantage of Front Row, however later in the day the speaker selecton pop-button in iTunes disappeared. I did a hard-reset of the AE unit, shutdown the computer, checked the preferences selection in iTunes etc, all without success. I checked the discussion boards of both iTunes and Airport for a solution. Found something interested where someone said that they shutdown the computer and went to bed and in the morning, hey presto everything was working. He thought that having a good night's sleep was the solution. So, I shutdown the computer and went to bed. The next morning, the light on the AE was green and after booting up my iMac Intel the pop-button reappeared (I still don't know what solved the problem) but now it will not connect to the speakers. It tries but gives us after 30 seconds or so.
    Here is what I have done so far: I used Airport setup assistant to set up the AE. During that process I selected to join an existing network that is provided by my Airport Extreme base station and I selected to only use the AE to share a printer and play iTunes using WDS bridging. This process works every time.
    Right now, the light on the AE unit is flashing amber. In Airport Admin Utility both the Extreme and the Express are listed but the Extreme has an IP address of the 10.0.x.x variety whereas the Express has an IP address 169.254.x.x variety! Strange. If I double-click on the Express it takes an age to get a response and when the response eventually comes - asking for the password I then get an error saying that "the airport admin utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station.
    I have tried resetting and repeating the above without success. Therefore, any other ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I want to boast about Front Row to my Windows friends without the embarrassment of connection problems

    I am having almost exactly the same trouble with an Airport network I recently set up in my home. I have a G5 with a brand new Airport card, an Airport Extreme Base Station (also brand new) in the same room acting as my internet portal, and an Airport Express (yup--brand new) downstairs piping iTunes to the stereo.
    I could get the G5 and Extreme base to talk without a hitch--they are right next to one another, after all. When I tried to link the Express into the same network, the Express vanishes. When I tried moving it into the same room with the Extreme, I could find it, and play tunes through a set of headphones. Moving to an outlet in the hall outside the room, it still worked. Moved to an outlet on the far wall of the room across the hall, it would play only sporadically, dropping out about 4 seconds out of every six. Anywhere else, and it wouldn't show up at all.
    However, when I set up the Express to be a separate network, my G5 was able to access it and play music without difficulty, anywhere in the house. I've been playing iTunes on my stereo for weeks, with the downside that I can't do that and surf the web at the same time.
    Last night I tried the experiment of moving the Extreme Base Station around. With my G5 in the living room, in the approximate center of the house (1/2-level above the basement, 1/2-level below the office--it's a split level), I was able to access the Express and play tunes on the stereo as usual. With the Extreme Base downstairs, right next to the Express, my G5 could not even locate its signal. Fifteen feet closer to the center of the house (but still downstairs): couldn't find it. At the base of the stairs: couldn't find it. At the top of the stairs (20 feet from the G5, but just around a corner): couldn't find it. Three feet out into the foyer at the top of the stairs (and now in a direct line of sight to the G5): 20-30% signal. Keep in mind that during all this, I could switch over to the Express network at will (75% signal) and play music downstairs without a hiccup.
    It seems to me that there's something wrong with the Extreme Station itself (or at least, with the way it's trying to communicate). If it were external interference due to an outside network, a microwave oven, or a 2.4 GHz cordless telephone, I would expect it to effect both networks equally--but it isn't. The Express seems impervious. I've noticed in another set of posts that some people with wireless connection problems have found that switching from the most recent version of the Extreme Base firmware (5.7) to an older one (5.5.1) has fixed the problem. I plan to give it a shot myself. I'll let you know how it turns out.

  • How do i disable audio out timeout on a macbook pro causing noise on external amplifier, without having a silent .wav playing in infinite loop?

    After updating to Mavericks I have this problem. From what I guess, my audio out (either the signal, or the entire soundcard) cuts power after being idle for about 30 seconds. This results in a static noise when connected to my external amplifier. From various forums, dating back to 2007/8 I can see this is not a new problem. The only workaround is playing an empty .wav sound on infinite loop (either by using a terminal command, or by a third-pary app which does this for you), preventing the audio out from timing out and cutting power. This seems to me to be an undisirable proceeding. Even if minimal, it uses extra power and memory. Is there any way to prevent the sound card from timing out like this?

    Ok. I tried disconnecting the charger from my macbook and that actually helped. The noise is now so low it is hardly audible, so I guess it has to do with a ground loop. But still, even when hardly audible it still only happens after 30 seconds of idle time. Is that because my theory about a timeout is correct, or is there some other reason for this? This used to just happen when my macbook went on standby (sleep), but now it happens allready after 30 seconds, so even though it may be a loop, it wasn't like this before. I'd love to understand what is different now.

  • Can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes

    I suddenly can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes on my new Macbook Pro - they are visible but cannot be selected. I can connect to them from other Macs and iPads. Can anyone help, pls? I have set the whole network up several times, rebooted system ie.

    I had this happen to me on the odd occasion but now have it sorted. If I'm going to use my Airport Epress(s) I first make sure that my PC is connecting to the AE before I even turn on iTunes.
    A problem I was having was that my PC was connecting to my wireless router by default (specifically when my laptop was turned off) and not to the AE. As a consequence when iTunes started it greyed out the remote speakers and sometimes the button was not even showing up.
    Now that I ensure my PC is talking to the AE everytime I do not have a problem.
    I do have one annoying thing with the AE setup though, if I'm playing music over the AE and I unplug any USB device (printer, USB Key, External drive etc) the wireless connection is broken and I have to start iTunes. I suspect it is a hardware issue relating to my particular HP PC as I have just reformatted and reinstalled Windows XP and it still happens. I can live with it.
