Connect IPOD to surround sound wall plate (to 4 pairs of banana sockets)

I have a banana socket plate on my wall that connects to four different ceiling speakers via four pairs of black/red sockets. So far, I can only figure out how to connect to one set of sockets. But how do I connect the IPOD to all four sets to achieve surround sound effect?

goto a store like WorstBuy (i mean BestBuy) & tell them your problem. sounds like you need some kind of adapter. i use an adapter on my stereo to connect my ipod, & it works.

  • HT6067 How can I connect 5.1 surround sound speakers to my Mac Pro?

    How to connect 5.1 surround sound speakers without a receiver to my Mac Pro, so I can test and hear surround sound files I am creating?

    As far as I know, the only way to do that is with the digital out, toslink I believe(1). . Currently there are very few external usb soundcards that are known to work with Mac and produce 5.1 sound, perhaps Diamond Multimedia or Zalman?. Analog surround really doesn't work (green, yellow, black cords)*. So, maybe, Garage band/VLC? or the dvd player might be the only things I know that could produce 5.1 sound, but I could be wrong.......
    (1) You will  need a speaker set with an optical input...
    * maybe try this--i think it's called an " HD audio rush " box and it converts digital to analog audio 5.1 supposedly-, you can look on ebay for similar things
    sorry I couldn't be of more help

  • Connecting ATV to surround sound

    Hi
    I'm trying to connect my ATV to Sony surround sound.
    The surround sound only has an HDMI output. It has one optical sound input.
    I have connected ATV to the TV via HDMI.
    I have connected ATV and my Fox box to the one optical sound input via an optical cable splitter.
    Fox sound is fine. No ATV sound - even when Fox is turned off.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Rudegar - that's how it's set up, only problem is no sound from ATV.
    Presumed it was something to do with settings, but have played about with everything I can think of and still no joy

  • Macbook aluminum, connecting audio to surround sound system. HELP!!

    Hi,
    I'm tryna connect sound running from my macbook to my home cinema kit. the sound system has a fiber optic input. so im trying to connect the sound via digital means. can you tell me what cables i need. I saw the fiber optic cables and i no the headphone jack can support fiber cable, but can some one tell me what piece i need to connect to my cable so i can stick it in the headphone jack of the mac.
    Hope this make's sense.

    The headphone jack on the MacBook is a combined analog and digital optical port. Since it's the 3.5mm size, if you want to connect it to your sound system via a digital optical audio cable, you'll also need what's known as a mini-SPDIF to SPDIF adapter or cable. It looks like there's a cable with an adapter available at the UK online Apple store. If you already have a cable, you may be able to find one of the adapters at a local electronics store. They're usually available at a Radio Shack in the U.S., for example.

  • Help Connecting my laptop to my 5.1 surround sound with optical Ca

    Hi
    I have recently bought a new hp 9667ea Laptop which has a express card slot. So also decided to buy the creative blaster x-fi xtreme audio note book sound card. I?want to connect my laptop to my surround sound using a optical cable.
    So after days of messing about I cound get the sound to come out the card using the headphones supplied but not through my optical cable also when rebooting my laptop with the sound card in it would freeze my laptop and was unable to get a internet connection.
    I since found out this card only supports 2. throught the optical cable.
    Now what I am after is a card that supports 5. and I am able to connect to my surround sound using a optical cable?
    I know creative are bring one out that support 7. will this also be compatible with my 5..
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Scott

    I connect mine via XBox 360 using a program called uShare https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UShare and it works brilliantly. However, I don't suppose you have an XBox or PS3, so you do actually have an option which is a VGA to HDMI converter. This is just one link I found for one http://www.amazon.co.uk/HDfury-1080P-HD … B000SOPWS8
    It's fairly reasonable price, £57.80, I suppose if it works okay. You could always buy one and if it doesn't do what you want just send it back and get a refund.

  • Powerbook Surround Sound

    I use a powerbook connected via firewire to a Motu 828mkII (which then connects to my surround sound speakers)
    In Logic, I have no problem sending signal to different speakers in my surround sound set up.
    I am having problems with playing a DTS audio disc via iTunes (which just plays it as a stereo pair and sounds like a hiss) or the internal DVD player (which says this type of movie is not supported).
    In the utility Audio/Midi Setup, I have my audio output set:
    Mains (Channels 1 and 2)
    5.1 (Channels 3-8)
    This goes to a receiver set to 6 channel direct.

    Hi Andy,
    I don't have any personal experience with your problem, however, I think it can be configured as you wish using the Audio Midi panel in utilities via an aggregate audio device. Although this post itself may not help you, it may explain aggregate audio devices a little more: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=240468&tstart=0. Finally, you may want to try reposting in OS X Technologies--> Audio. You might be able to find some more help there. Good Luck!

  • Can I Connect an iPod Nano to Logitech Z-680 surround sound system?

    I want to know if I can connect my  iPod Nano 16GB to my Logitech Z-680 Surround Sound System.  I already connect my MacBook to the system by plugging into the three plugs in the back of the controller then those three plugs merge into one plug which I then plug into the headphone jack on the side of my MacBook.  Since the battery life of my MacBook is 2 hours, at best, Id like to use my iPod to play music.  I tried plugging in the plug that I use for connecting my MacBook into the headphone jack of my iPod but I could not get any sound.  The single plug seemed a bit small for the iPod.  There are, also, two other jacks on the Logitech Z-680 controller, which are located on the front of the controller.  One is for headphones and the other I am not sure.  It has a musical note symbol above it.  I have never used that jack before.  Any suggestions/guidance is greatly appreciated.

    This video guide should explain it:

  • Connecting IPOD video to surround sound HELP PLEASE!

    Hi!
    I have been trying to connect my ipod to my surrond sound system at home, but everytime I plug it in all it says is "Do not disconnect" and won't let me go to my menu to play songs. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I tried that but it didn't work... I need to get my ipod to not say "do not disconnect" in order to play from the menu.... does that make sense? It's plugged in correctly and is a brand new ipod so I'm not sure why it isn't working. I called apple, but since my surround sound is an RCA and not an apple device they can't help me....

  • How can I connect my apple TV to my surround sound system without running any extra cables?

    I have my Apple TV connected to my TV via HDMI. The TV is connected to an auxiliary box that outputs sound to house speakers. I don't want to run any additional wires because of the distance to my auxiliary box and the fact all my wires now run through the wall. Also the auxiliary box lacks any extra HDMI ports.
    On cable, the TV sound plays surround sound, but on the Apple TV sound plays from the TV itself.
    Is there any way to alter settings on the TV (LG LB6100 Smart TV) to change the sound source?

    if you have a router and set it up for wifi and have ethernet plugged in then point your iPhone to that router and it will connect to the ATV.

  • How do I connect my Apple TV to my Philips surround sound DVD system?

    I can't seem to get surround sound when watching Apple TV (or when watching live or recorded TV via my Virgin Tivo). I use a three-years old Philips DVD home surround system to get surround sound when I'm watching Blu-Ray (I have connected my Philips Blu-ray and my Philips DVD player without difficulty). But I can't figure out how to get surround sound whne watching Apple TV. I bought an optical cable with an audio jack on one end, to connect to the DVD player and the optical end clicks into the ATV. Still nothing. Any ideas?

    The surround system seems to support digital audio - it has settings for HDMI audio and video (even though it doesn't actually have an HDMI port) I bought the optical/audio cable on the advice of a staff member in the Apple Store, but frankly, she didn't see, to understand my problem. She recommended I insert the cable into the "MP3 cable IN" port but that' not working.
    I'm probably not explaining myself very well - bottom line: I have a DVD surround system and an Apple TV, so how do I connect them?

  • HT1454 i connect my iPad to my tv with hdmi cable but the surround sound from the receiver is not working why is this?

    i want to play my ipad on through my tv and receiver to get surround sound (not using the tv speakers) I connect the htmi cable to my tv and ipad do i need more cable to get my surround sound to play the audio?  i thought hdmi did it all.

    if you have a 6th or 7th gen classic, you'll have a have the video out cable from apple.  only the 5th gen will play with a generic 3 connector video out cable.

  • How do I connect Apple TV and surround sound to my projector?

    My current set up is that I have a projector connected to my Blu-Ray player. My surround sound speakers connect to my Blu-Ray player. They all came in the box together and the speaker wires all go into the Blu-Ray. Everything works perfectly.
    However now I have bought an Apple TV and although I can play it through the projector, the sound is only through the projector and not the surround sound. I tried plugging the Apple TV in the HDMI in the projector and then connecting the Apple TV to the Blu-Ray via optical cable, but that didn't work.
    In the back of the projector there is 1 HDMI port and an audio port but no optical port
    In the back of the Blu-Ray, you have the speakers, the HDMI, the audio in and the optical port.
    How can I connect everything so that I can use my Apple TV with surround sound?

    The manual doesn't say anything an optical port on the BD ?

  • Connecting my MacBook Pro to my DVD Surround Sound Speakers?

    I'm a student filmmaker in the UK and pretty much do all my video editing from my bedroom using Final Cut Studio. I am using a MacBook Pro3,1 (bought in 2007) and have recently decided that I want to start working in 5.1 surround sound.
    As I have no surround sound speakers with my MacBook Pro, I was wondering if it would be possible to connect it up to my DVD surround sound system? This would ultimately save me having to buy a compatible set and having two lots of surround sound speakers around my room...
    My DVD player is a Panasonic SC-PT150. The 6 surround sound speakers each connect to it through the standard +/- "clip-in" wire set up (which, obviously isn't compatible with my MacBook Pro). There are also two AUX sockets (one for Left and one for Right) on the back of the DVD player. So far, I have tried connecting my MacBook Pro to these sockets using a Mini plug to RCA cable, however, all I get is an incredibly loud humming noise.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might, either overcome this problem or, get the setup to work another way? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks both of you for your help.
    It doesn't mention either of those connections in the manual, however, yes you are right, it takes digital input. I'll have to call and check if the toslink cable is compatible.
    I tried connecting the mini-stereo-to-RCA cable to my Nokia phone (which is actually where the cable came from) and that plays through the DVD speakers just fine, when i select AUX mode. Although, as you said, it only plays stereo.
    Say the mini-toslink cable is compatible, would I need to get a 5.1 surround sound card for my MBP?
    Thanks again.

  • I have surround sound with my LCD TV.  Will my new iPad into an HDML connection be able transmit surround sound via Utube, iTunes or whatever?

    I have surround sound with my LCD TV.  Will my new iPad into HDML connection and Utube, iTunes etc. produce surround sound?

    ATV definitely supports AC3 DD 5.1... etc, but definately not through AirPlay, only streamed through the inet.
    I also found, in the case of Netflix, that the AC3 is preserved in the highest bandwidth mode but not available in the lowest. (frankly i did not test the intermediate bandwidth)
    I was quite pleased with the sound and picture from Netflix.
    I am not so patiently waiting for AirPlay to support AC3 DD or DDPlus because I record my home video in %.1 surround (AVCHD) and can preserve it through Final Cut Pro and DVD or Red Laser, but cannot use the intended cable replacement (AirPlay) to play them.
    Bummer..
    I think/hope if more people request surround sound via AirPlay Apple may then follow through on this otherwise good idea.
    FWIW
