Connecting Zen to stereo or

I had a Zen Vision M with the video cable to plug directly into my TV or stereo. Well, it was stolen. So for x-mas, I got a Zen. How do you connect his player to the TV or stereo? Is there a better way than just using the headphone jack?
Thanks

I feel really stupid now...I didn't realize the volume had to be ALL the way up! Thanks.

  • "Comm Error" message when connecting to car stereo

    When connecting my 80G IPod to the port in my car, the IPod screen rolls horizontally, then says "OK to disconnect", and the stereo displays the "Comm Error" message. I was able to connect to the stereo before but don't know what happened to cause this. Re-setting the IPod did not resolve the problem. Has anyone else seen this? Please help!

  • Connection to Car Stereo

    I have an ipod connection into my car stereo in my Infiniti.  I was hoping to replace my ipod with my Blackberry Storm and be able to play it through my stereo system.  Is there a cable that will fit my car connection and the Storm?

    First, I don't know what type of connection your car stereo has, but as for me, I am using a simple male 3.5mm to RCA jack cable (See link below) for my car and it works wonderfully.

  • Connecting iMac to stereo receiver

    I am trying to figure out the best way to connect my iMac to a stereo receiver. Which option will result in superior sound on my home stereo: (1) running a TOSLINK cable from the iMac's optical digital audio out port to the receiver's optical input or (2) connecting the iMac to the receiver using a USB DAC?
    Thanks for your help.

    I do not agree. The headphone amp outputs a conventional two channel analog signal on the multi-purpose 3.5 mm audio output jack on all Intel iMacs. But that same jack outputs a digital optical signal if the iMac senses a mini-Toslink adaptor plug has been inserted instead of an analog stereo TRS (tip ring sleeve) plug.
    IOW, the same jack furnishes two entirely different kinds of output (analog or digital) depending on what is plugged into it. The digital output encodes the audio (which could consist of multiple channels of audio) on a single beam of digitally modulated light. The analog output is two separate signals, each on its own electrical conductor, derived from the internal DAC in the iMac & amplified by the amp to provide enough power to drive headphones.
    It is possible that the amp does double duty to also drive the light source for the digital output, but that is in no way is comparable to using it to drive headphones -- for the digital output all it would have to do is switch the light level between the digital high & low states.
    My guess is that whoever told you about the headphone amp either did not know about the dual function of the jack or thought you were talking about an analog connection to your stereo.

  • IPad is connected to a stereo installation - no control of the volume by the iPad

    When my iPad is connected to a stereo installation, there is no possibility anymore to control the volume by the iPad.
    'the volume control' is replaced by 'dock connector' on the iPad

    This issue manifests as The volume control shows  sound effects on screen  or phantom docking no volume slide control.
    For the beginners, the issue is often the side switch is set to mute on off and not screen rotation lock. The switch is off. (see settings)
    Other issues around software and airport use can be resolved by hard reset, or reset options inside the settings. I use AIRPORT all the time.
    You may have even tried the re-installing the firmware/ios
    So when all has failed to work, the you may have dock connector PIN 21 problem.
    I had an issue that started with the ipad whe it was on USB cable to PC.
    No drop, no sudden cable movements. Just gone....
    No volume slider.   IPAD behaves as if it was docked when not.
    Slight movement when usb cable is in occasionally brings the volume control back but only for a few seconds then it disappears.
    Mine is going back for repair/replacement.
    cheers Phil

  • Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

    Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.

    My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library?
    On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.

  • Hello I have 2 seperate airport express systems on my network, each connecting to a stereo in a different room.  suddenly, the one in the living room will not stop flashing amber, but the one in the bedroom works fine.  I have already tried resetting it

    Hello
    I have 2 seperate airport express systems on my network, each connecting to a stereo in a different room. suddenly, the one in the living room will not stop flashing amber, but the one in the bedroom works fine. I have already tried resetting it with a pin, resetting it while plugging it in, and trying to find it in airport express setup (the setup assistant can't find it at all).
    What am i doing wrong?

    How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
    To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    Launch the AirPort Utility.
    Select the AX.
    If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
    Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
    Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
    Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
    Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
    Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

  • Connected zen 20GB to computer w/o creative

    I haven't tried yet, what happened if we connect zen 20GB to computer (windows XP) without creative software in normal mode (not removable disk mode)?. What happen if we disconnect zen 20GB (in removable disk mode) without safely remove hardware first ?txmuzarif

    Jason,
    Thanks for your reply, actually I connected my zen 20GB to my office computer with linux OS but I use vmware as a emulator to open windows xp, when I disconecting my zen from computer (a removable disk mode) and I already used safely remove hardware in windows xp, my zen screen still indicated do not disconected. I guess that although my zen already interupted/disconnected from windows xp but still connected to linux as OS since I don't know how to safely remove hardware from linux OS and I am not as administrator of that computer, so I just disconnected although my zen screen indicated do not remove hardware. When I doing that my zen look like hang or freeze and I have to restart my zen.
    Please help me, is there any safely way for using my zen as removable hard disk in my office with linux OS (and I am not as administrator)? I want my zen as removable hard disk in windows environtment with linux OS as mention above.
    Thanks

  • Had a Airport Express connected to my stereo and it was working.  I brought an Airport Extreme and suddenly it took over and Airport Express stopped working and disappeared from Airport Utility. What I am supposed to do?  ar2ro

    I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo and it was working without any problem.
    Recently I bought an Airport Extreme to use it as my Base Unit connecting it to my DSL.
    I followed the instructions of the Airport Utility, and it started working.
    Suddenly, problems started happen the Airport express that was connected to the stereo , stopped working and it disappeared from the Airport Utility area , as it did not exist in the network. I tried to reset it but it did not appear in the Airport Utility page.
    Apparently I have other problems with the private network that it created because I cannot use it because of problems with the password that was created.  I can only use the network that  I created for my guest...
    I dont know if my problem is a configuration problem or  there is problem with the equipment.
    I read that other users where having the same problem with the Airport express , using non apple equipment as their base unit , but I thought that using the Airport Extreme was going to be compatible and no problems would happen.
    What should I do?

    Common Problem. Common solution.
    Connect your Express via ethernet cable to the Mac while other network connections on the Mac are switched OFF.
    After the Express shows up, change the settings of the Express to join the existing network. Take the appr. settings.
    Unplug and reconnect your Mac to the network.
    Check if the Express shows up in Airport Utility
    Alternative solution:
    Hardreset the Express to factory settings
    (while on power push the Pin next to the audio plug with a paperclip. Plug out the Express still holding down the little button then replug the Express to power and release button)
    After that, the Express will show up in the Airport Utility.
    Make all needed settings.
    I would prefer the first solution, its easier just to plug a cat5 cable.

  • Poor Sound Connected to Home Stereo

    I have a 30 GB 5th Gen Video iPod that I connected to my stereo via the headphone jack using the monster cables I bought at the Apple Store. The sounds is not good at all. It's night and day vs. a CD. Is this normal.

    Try getting the Apple Universal Dock; the Line Out port reportedly sounds better than the iPod headphone jack (although it really isn't Line Out, since you can adjust the volume with the Apple Remote). If possible use a 2-wire stereo mini-plug cable (or the Monster iTV Link cable which combines a stereo cable and an S-video cable) rather than a 3-wire AV mini-plug cable.

  • Connecting Zen touch to Stereo sys

    I was wondering if there is a cord or some way to connect my touch to a stereo and play the music through the stereo?
    thanks, much appreciated.

    If you have RCA inputs on your stereo, just buy a 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable and connect it that way. If not, buy an FM transmitter, connect it to the headphone jack on your Zen Touch, set it to a channel and then tune into that channel on the stereo's radio.
    Hope that hel

    Here's a pic & link too:

    You can buy it at any RadioShack (in America) and in Canada I would assume FutureShop would have it as well as any local electronics store.

  • Connecting Zen Touch to stereo/amplif

    I was wondewring is there any connection that could connect the Zen Touch with a stereo? on the back of the stereo there is a left and right socket for "Video/MD" . any ideas what type of connectino is needed.

    If you have a Digital Recei'ver, try using Monster cable for MP3 player. You can get this cable at any sears electronic store or any online retailer. Now, if you have a regular receiver, any cable will work. Plug the cable to you player and the other into CD Input of your receiver and BINGO.. I preferred using Monster cable because the sounds are well balance and crisp. Have fun listening to your MP3 Player..
