Connecting nano to speakers/stereo system

Can anyone give me some info on connecting my nano 2GB to a sony cd player? I would love to listen to music without headphones or a computer? Thanks

You buy a three dollar cable with a headphone minijack on one end, RCA on the other, and plug into the AUX inputs on your amplifier. Easy as can be.

  • Connecting iMac 24" to Stereo System

    I've just ordered a 24" iMac 3.06 Ghz machine. I would like to use the optical interface to connect to a stereo system (hopefully with 5:1 surround sound support). Can I do this? What currently sold brands and models of receivers allow this? Will I have to buy the optical cable separately?
    I have also purchased the 24" Cinema Display for dual head computing. I know it has its own sound options. But my Infinity speakers are likely to be better (plus I have a Velodyne sub)
    I do have a rather old Sony STR-G3. I do not know if it supports the right connection type.
    Thank you.

    Hornet Developer,
    Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new iMac. You should be able to successfully connect your iMac to a hi-fi system and get 5.1 sound on at least iTunes material. This is assuming of course the content in iTunes was recorded in 5.1. In fact if you have an Airport Express you can even do it wirelessly, using Apples Air Tunes feature.
    This will work with any receiver that supports optical input, there are even some powered speakers available so this would work with them as well.
    Yes you do need to purchase a separate cable however they are relatively inexpensive. An example would be something like this:

    Assuming your Sony STR-G3 supports optical in and it's functioning OK you should only need a cable to connect your iMac and you're good to go. If you want to do this wirelessly you would need to get a cable and the Airport Express which would connect to your wireless network. I do this myself with my Imac, my wireless router is the Airport Extreme and I have a Airport Express connected to a B&K Reference 50 Pre-Pro which is connected (via my separate amp) to my B&W Nautilus speakers.

  • Wirelessly connecting to a home stereo system

    Anyone know if/how it is possible to play audio wirelessly thorugh a home stereo system? I'm looking to do something similar to what the Airport station does but with all audio from the mac not just audio from Itunes.

  • CONNECTING nano to HOME STEREO & CAR STEREO

    I hooked the Nano up to my home and car receivers via: mini-cable > AV cable.
    AUDIO SOUNDS VERY MUFFLED:
    • Its definitely not the quality of the mp3's.
    • EQ(if you can call it that) is on "off".
    • High volume, my home receiver turns off (power overload or something)
    • Low volume, low output
    • Wires are good (monster cables)
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Do I need to buy a dock adapter to regulate power & output?
    You'll know this by whether you have to use the ipod or the speakers to turn up the volume.
    If you can use either volume controls, then it DOESN"T regulate output.
    If you can ONLY use the speaker/receiver volume control, then it DOES regulate.
    Please try your docks and reply, haha.
    Thanks for your responses.

    Every time you buy Monster cables, an electrical engineer cries. Seriously, don't waste your money on their snake oil.
    That said, they ought to work for this application. You shouldn't need a dock; that just gives you the same signal at a more convenient physical location.
    The volume level of the ipod should be as high as possible without distorting the signal you hear out of the stereo.
    I don't know what to tell you; my nano sounds fine when I play it through my stereo exactly like you're doing it. (Not as good as a CD, but as good as what I hear in my ipod headphones.)

    Thanks for your reply.
    That is how far I had gotten:
    Audio sounds muffled,
    even with any EQ or Volume setting on either receivers(home&car) and ipod. I tried all these variables.
    I even got monster cables to make sure it had good connection.
    Does a ipod dock regulate output?
    Does anyone know?
    You'll know this by whether you have to use the ipod or the speakers to turn up the volume.
    If you can use either volume controls, then it DOESN"T regulate output.

    So please try your docks everyone, haha.

  • Wireless Audio Transfer to Speakers/Stereo System

    I was wondering, I have a BOSE system and would like to play the music on my Mac Book Pro and have it wirelessly play onto the BOSE via FM channels instead of burning everything to 400 CD's. Any way to do this?

    I use an Apple Airport Express, 802.11 b/g, wireless router to transmit iTunes wirelessly to my various audio systems. It sounds very good and works flawlessly. Unfortunately, it only works with iTunes. The Apple Express includes a 1/8" stereo audio jack for connection to your stereo equipment. This jack also functions as a digital optical port.
    I don't believe the audio quality of FM transmitter/receiver is nearly as good as that with the Apple Airport Express.
    I think this unit has recently been reduced in price. Apple may be upgrading this to 802.11n in the near future.

  • !!! HELP: Connect nano to stereo through headphone jack?

    Is it possible to connect an ipod nano to a stereo system through the audio minijack/headphone jack? I was sure it was possible, but now it doesnt seem like it.. I've got a nano, but havent opened it yet (its my birthday present..) and nearly the whole point of me getting it was because I wanted to play it through the stereo!! Im seriously considering returning it! Isn't there an adapter or something, other than those crappy 3rd party fm/cd/tape ones that you can use?? do you HAVE to get a dock or some expensive thing?
    I know that they left out the a/v jack on the nano but I thouhgt that was mostly for connecting to a tv and you could use headphone jack for just audio.. im so bummed out. my mom's been calling stores for me and asking them and they say it's not possible. grrrhh
    please let me know if there is some way..!!!!

    I know, tried it and it worked
    shows them stupid store staff who dont know sh*te about the things theyre selling!
    I LOOVVEEE my nano so far! It ROCKKSS!!! <3 <3
    thanks you guys + for the replies

  • Ipod Nano 4g not recognised by car stereo system

    I have recently purchased a new design Vauxhall Astra. One of the extras available was a USB connection which stated on the original advertising leaflet that it was fully Ipod compatible. Upon getting the car home I was eager to try out my Ipod Nano 4th generation. Initially nothing happened when I plugged it in via the USB socket. I then thought to switch on the auxiliary button, this responded with the message "no auxiliary connected". I then thought maybe I should switch on the Ipod. That was when the real trouble started, everything went dead. That was when I decided I had better check the car handbook. It was only then that I discovered the list of compatible Ipods and guess what every one was listed except for the 4g. I disconnected the Ipod, which although initially only showed the Apple logo, I was able to make it work normally. As for the car stereo system everything works fine except for the auxiliary switch, this still remains dead. The car is going back to the dealership on Wednesday for them to try to find out what is wrong, in the meantime is there anyone out there that can shed any light on this problem.

    At last, Vauxhall have come up with the solution. It seems that the fact the original advertising literature not mentioning the 4G was an error as they are all compatible. Apparently to make the system work it is essential to have the engine running before you make the USB connection. If you do not have the engine running the system becomes confused and therefore shuts down completely, which is what happened to me. If this happens then the only way of rectifying it is to return the car to the dealership and have the system completely re-configured. Obviously I mentioned the fact that this was not explained when I collected the car and they admitted that this should be made clearer for future customers

  • Why lower audo levels when connecting to home stereo system

    I have connected an audio cable to the earphone output on the Nano.This cable has two RCA connectors that connect to the line-in of my home stereo system. It works fine except for one thing. The volume is lower than other sources that feed into a "line-in" input. To make things even across the system, is there some type of devise that will increase the output level of the headphone jack on the Nano? Or does using an Apple cable make any difference. I would think this little problem is just a case of the headphone output being of a lower output level than a "line-out" output.
    Thanks for suggestions.

    "I would think this little problem is just a case of the headphone output being of a lower output level than a "line-out" output."
    It is, which is why many people who want to do this use the iPod dock, which has a proper 'line out' socket.

  • How can I connect laptop to stereo system?

    I have a  Pavillion dm3 1130us and I want to go out of it into my stereo system to play the pc audio on the stereo. It''s got headphone output which traditionally won't work to line in of the stereo, but are there settings on the pc that will allow it to work with line in?
    And, what are my options for doing this wirelessly? Is there any way I can use my wireless router for this?
    Thank you!

    I think you would want an Airport Express
    The Express is designed to work with iTunes, but with the following (free) program you can use the Express to play any PC audio without iTunes: Airfoil Speakers for Windows
    All this will work with any router, wired or wireless. Enjoy!

  • What is the best way to connect an ipod to a home stereo system

    i forgot my ipad password - i entered the wrong password a number of times and am now locked out - what do i do to start again?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    The best way depends upon your stereo system. If you system has an AUX input you can get a cable that goes from the headphone jack to the AUX in

  • Connecting my home stereo system to my macbook pro

    Thanks

    Well, there are many options you can use. If you have a home stereo, with only two channels, you can go to radio shack and get a splitter cable, one with the red and black/white RCA connectors on one end, and then the 1/8th inch headphone connector on the other end, and then plug the RCA's into you stereo in the line out ports, and then the headphone into the line in on the MBP, and you are all set. You can even go into system prefs and sound under line in or recording, play the record and see what the MBP is registering for line in volume and adjust it to get the best sound.

    A fiberoptic cable should be connected from the TV to a input of the stereo. I am just not really sure aobut your comment:
    "i have fiberoptic cable from the blue ray to stereo and stereo to TV"
    I undesrtand you have a fiber cable from BD to your stereo. But the other part are you saying you are using stereo RCA connections to the TV? because if you already have a fiber optic cable connecting your TV to stereo it should be working
