Home Hub 4 to Sony CMT-G2BNiP home stereo

I've recently switched to BT BB, using HH3. Everything worked fine!
I just upgarded to HH4, where all is good except I can't get a relaible wireless connection to my Sony home stereo CMT-G2BNiP. If I connect using Access Point Scan + manual entry of WEP key, or using the HH4 WPS button, I get a connection error message. If there is a connection & the Sony goes into Standby, the WiFi connection is lost.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You are best to enter the passkey manually and remember it's the new passkey that came with the HH4. It amazing how many people forget that they need to change it.
It might also be best to select a wireless channel rather than using smart wireless on the HH4. You can download and install inSSider which will show you the strongest least cogested channel. See link for download

  • Trying to connect Airtunes to home stereo

    I'm afraid that I really have no idea of what I'm doing here....this is my situation -
    I have a G5 iMac in my home office connected via Airport Express to a DSL modem (and via USB to a printer on my desk). I also have a Sony VAIO notebook (Windows XP Pro SP2) with a Belkin 802.11g wireless notebook network card that I have connected wirelessly so it can access both the printer and my ADSL modem. No problems to date with that.
    I have a second Airport Express downstairs (ground floor) in the living room (my home office is on the first floor) that I have used to extend the wireless signal so my husband can connect his Mac mini and 12 inch Powerbook to the ADSL modem. His studio is across the courtyard from the living room on top of the garage (about 7 - 8 metres from the Airport Express in the living room). This works, too.
    My problem arises because I have tried to connect my home stereo in the living room to 'airtunes' on my G5 iMac by using a 'home stereo cable' that I bought from my local Apple dealer. It has a 3.5mm connector on one end and two RCA connectors on the other end. (I was told by my local Apple dealer that this would be 'dead easy').
    I plugged the 3.5mm connector into the Airport Express in the living room and connected the RCA connectors to my tuner/amplifier (it is an old Nakamichi RE-3). Nothing happens at all. Nothing shows up in iTunes (I'm running iTunes 6). My Apple shop said 'just plug into the Aux RCA connectors and then set your stereo to AUX' - could the problem be that my Aux connectors also say /video? The input options on the front of the machine are CD, Aux/Video, Tuner, Cassette player.
    Sorry to be so ignorant - perhaps my Stereo is just too old?
    Any help/suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
    Cheers
    Tricia

    A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing..... :-(((
    I did some reading of the Help files and discovered a couple of basic things -
    1) I had to change Preferences in iTunes to look for remote speakers connected with Airtunes
    2) I had to change System Preferences/Firewall setting to check the iTunes Music Sharing box
    3) I had to remember to turn on the volume control for my stereo
    Result - I now have my iTunes music playing throughout the house because my stereo system (20 years old) is wired to the bedroom, bathroom and study...I love it
    Cheers

  • Is there a connection device to hook up to a denon recever to plug in Ipad2 or iphone 4 to place music thru home stereo

    I would like to hook up my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4 to my denon AVR3806 recevor to play music thru home stereo.  Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thank you

    A crude but effective way would ,assuming the Sony has an AUX in ,
    is a stereo bluetooth receiver
    plugs into aux and recives music over B/T from
    the iPhone etc ,as used by many in vehicle
    For instance as an example

  • Connecting to home stereo

    I want to connect my ipod to my home stereo reciever (Sony STR-DE935) but there are no aux input jacks on the reciever. It has jacks for MD, CD SAT, DAT, etc. How can I listen to my ipod through this reciever?

    Ack. I am sorry it didn't work well. I've done it with a couple different receivers without problems. My guess is your Sony is more high end than mine and more finicky about input. I don't have any expereince with Air Tunes. I have had OK results with a Griffin iTrip. MIght work to play through an FM blank spot if you set the iPod close. Not sure.

  • Iphone output to home stereo

    I am not able to output from my iphone to my home stereo via output jack, but was able to do so with a Sony mp3 player. Does Iphone require apple products to output to, such as ipod stuff?

    Hi...I am new to this whole posting thing, but have been an avid reader for awhile. I too am having difficulties with the whole iphone to stereo concept. I bought the Belkin cord from the Apple store, but still seem to be unable to get any music to come out of my stereo. So, what could I be doing wrong? I have connected cord from both the iphone and from cradle's line out jack, and then connect the other end to stereo through the headphone jack. The headphone jack is the ONLY port on the stereo that seems to fit the belkin. No input jacks to be found. Do I need to do like iTrip radio stations in the iPhone, or did I just waste money on this cord? Please help. I am so frustrated. All I want to do is enjoy my music OUT LOUD! Thanks.

  • Burned discs will not play on home stereo

    I have recently discovered that since December of 2009, all the discs I have burned of my iTunes purchases do not play on my home stereo CD player (Sony 300 disc jukebox). They still play on my Mac G5 desktop (OS 10.4.11) with iTunes v9.1. Discs I burned before December 2009 still play on my CD player. What's strange is that if I put the disc in my iMac Intel G5 (OS 10.6.3) and reburn the disc on that machine, they do play on the CD player. Also, discs I can burn on the G5 desktop with Toast play fine. Was something changed in iTunes around December, 2009 that would affect my burning in this way? Thanks for any input...

    Did you accidentally select a data CD or an MP3 CDin your burn preferences, instead of an Audio CD?

  • Wireless home stereo system

    Hi,
    I'd like to use a MacMini as a home stereo system using wireless speakers. We have a nice sony system but no where to set it up in our new home and I'd rather get rid of all the wire and keep it out of sight. What's needed to do this? It is possible, yes? Thanks for any ideas. I saw the post on airexpress but that doesn't really address my needs.

    The Apple Airport Express and a stereo connection cable are exactly what you need to do this. You also need powered speakers, or speakers that get their power through an AV Receiver and amp.
    The Airport Express is a wireless broadband router that can be directly connected to the Mac mini (wired or wirelessly) and used to distribute your Internet connection to other networked computers in the house.
    Significantly, the Airport Express also has a single audio jack that allows you to connect either an analog (RCA-style) audio cable or a digital optical SPDIF cable -- either can be connected to the back of your AV Receiver, but you'll get the best quality using the digital cable (assuming your AV Receiver has a free optical digital port). Once the AEX is connected, you assign one of the receiver's Input ports to the computer/AEX. So, instead of connecting a stereo CD or tape player to the receiver, you connect the computer.
    The stereo connection kit (cables) must be purchased separately.
    We connected the AEX to our computer network using a Category 6 (RJ-45) Ethernet cable. While you can set up the Express to receive network signals wirelessly, it will be more reliable, and possiby faster (depending on the topology and setup), if you rely on Ethernet where possible. This way, the cable or DSL modem is hard-wired to the AEX and the only portion of the network that is wireless is between the wireless computers and the AEX.

  • Need help planning home stereo system utilizing Itunes,iPs, airplay

    Hello,
    the internet is overwhelming me with Info, so I will ask you guys my question.
    How to best build a home stereo system playing my itunes libraries.
    Here are my stats:
    Itunes library is housed in external 1 TB drive, worked off a Windows laptop ( Sony Viao)
    I have and use two Itunes accounts ( one for US and one for Germany store)
    Have an older Ipod click ( older gen, ), I phone 4S and Ipad 2,
    will be upgrading to new iphone and ipad this year.
    What I want to do:
    At the moment we have no home stereo system or home theater.  Been happy using the HDMI connector playing video from Ipad to TV. To be honest I do most of my TV viewing directly from the Ipad as it's very transportable.
    Music I listen more with headphones, but have been missing my old hi-fi system from 10 years ago, which I no longer have. ( Birthing and raising 2 kids the past 8 years made me forget what I have missed . ).
    Anyways it's time to get serious again.
    I need to first start with a basic receiver and speakers.
    Question 1:
    What kind of a receiver do you recommend? There are so many options now besides hooking DVD/CD player to Receiver/tuner. Now you have wifi options ( airplay etc...). where I understand you can stream your itunes movie/music wifi.  We would want a traditional DVD/CD hook up and itunes.
    Question 2:
    Digitial Quality: Does streaming via airplay to a receiver give digitial quality in music? I read that most Iphone/pod docks only offer analog hookup. What about digital. I know there are a few ie. Onkyo ND-S1 that are digitial. Does airplay give the same quality over wifi as a hook-up??
    Question 3: I am willing to have most of my library on a ipod/ipad , but what would be the best way to access my itunes library via the exterrnal drive WITHOUT having to run a computer?? also do Airplay and appletv work together, same thing? or need both?
    Question 4: Our house is big and not open. this means investing in a single set- up in main area downstairs. But what are some cheaper options ( Sonos too much money for us) for a system more spread out. Can I run from one receiver  one set of speakers with wire hook-up in main room and wireless elsewhere . and how does the wireless work ( wifi?)
    I hope I made sense, kinds still brainstorming in my head.

    Hi,
    I see no one has taken up the challenge so I'll give it a go
    Here's the Apple info for multiple iPods:
    How to use multiple iPods with one computer
    It has a link to an article on how to share music between different accounts on the same computer which you should read.
    1. When you say 'Archive entire CD collection...' I assume you are talking about loading all your CDs into one or more iTunes libraries?
    2. Assuming one or more iTunes libraries then all you need to do is set the import options correctly. iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing>Import using Apple Lossless Encoder
    3. This would seem to indicate you need one iTunes library. It is the computer that is authorised: iTunes: About Music Store authorization and deauthorization
    4. For each user to have unique song ratings you will need multiple iTunes libraries.
    If Lossless and AAC are in the same Library then Smart Playlists will do the trick as you can have the condition 'Kind does not contain Apple Lossless'
    You can set the view options to show you what Kind of track in iTunes.
    Hope this gets you going on the right tracks.
    Regards,
    Colin R.

  • Can I use Apple TV to play iTunes from my iMac on my home stereo?

    How does Itunes from my Imac connect to my home stereo using Apple TV?

    Greetings;
    When you launch the iTunes Application, down in the lower right hand corner, you see an icon and "Speakers".  Select the Apple TV device and iTunes will then use the Apple TV as an external speaker.
    You can also access your iTunes music and movies from the Apple TV menu.  With your iTunes Application open on your computer, select "Computers" from the Apple TV Menu.
    You'll also need to turn ON "Home Sharing" in the iTunes Application.  You can find that setting in the "Advanced" menu option in iTunes.
    Hope this helps!  All the best...and Merry Christmas!

  • Mass storage issues (does not play in car on home stereo) after upgrading to V4.5

    I am having issues with Mass Storage after upgrading my 8130 to V4.5.  I can no longe hook the device to my home stereo or car stereo to play music. My computer does read the device.  It is not my media card.  I still have my old blackberry: the card shows up on both phones and computers.  It is not my cables as they work with my old phone.  I have also done all the obvious things like pull the battery and play with the media card setting
    This guy had the same issue though i never saw resolution:
    Any idea is appreciated! After upgrading the device software to version 4.5 earlier this week (BlackBerry 8800 with v4.5.0.69 (platform 2.7.0.72)) as proposed by T-Mobile and RIM Germany something has changed with the behaviour when connecting via USB as a mass storage device:
    Using a micro-SD card with 2 GB for some months now as a storage for MP3-Files which can be played with my Blue&Me system in my car. This is some kind of Microsoft Windows mobile platform (Automotive) providing playback of MP3-files etc connected via USB. This was never a problem with the previous software. It behaved as it should. Here is an example of what it previously did (taken from http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=BlackBerryDesktopSoftware&thread.id=3...):
    "On your Blackberry device, you may or may not first see a message about insufficient current. It just means you can't charge your Blackberry with that PC USB port. Hit the escape key once (on your Blackberry device). You will be prompted a question : do you want to activate USB Mass Storage Mode. You can answer YES or NO. Answer YES."
    The message about insufficient current is important here because the Blue&Me system does not provide the current as proposed by USB-standards. Anyway after clicking this message/warning away the Blue&Me would recognize the mass storage and start playback.
    After upgrading to v4.5 there is no warning about current any more and the mass storage can't be recognized. I've checked both components: The B&M works fine with any other USB-devices connected, and the BB works fine with Windows after connecting via USB (presumably because there is enough current!). All standard settings in Options/Media card for enabling mass storage have been tested but without success.
    Hopefully someone whose genius far exceeds mine will help me with this.  Thank You.

    I have exactly the same issue with my car stereo equiped with USB and my 8130 device. OS 4.3 works fine (and displays the "insuficcient current" message) and after upgrading to 4.5 mass storage mode not works anymore. And of course it works with regular desktop/notebook computers. I've made many experiments with different storage cards (now I use SDHC 8G from SanDisk). The card works fine if I attach it through card reader in my car, it even see multiple drives which cardreader creates.
    Even more I wrote the small blackberry application in java (i'am professional programmer) and ordered BB keys for $20 to deploy it to device. The program uses the RIM api call Device.requestStorageMode() which in my opinion should turn on storage mode of device. But the result was the same - car audio don't see the mass storage with OS 4.5.
    Interesting fact that in OS 4.3 the message about "insufficient current" appears BUT the device CHARGES via this USB without a problem. The same case with OS 4.5 - charging device is possible.
    Also, I can't switch to OS 4.3 because it have the serious problem with bluethooth connections - it suddenly lost my handsfree link and its very bad if I get incomming call during driving and my handsfree not work.
    Forgot to mention - now I have the OS 4.5.0.127

  • 20G iPOD freezes when connecting to home stereo and other components

    When i connect my iPOD to my home stereo through a docking station the iPOD buttons become disfunctional. it only plays one song and then it "shuts down". Not really shuts down because the iPOD is still on and as soon as i remove it from the docking station, it works fine again. Any ideas?

    "However, most of the cables I find use the headphone output. "
    Yep, thats fine, just get one of those!
    MiniJack (3.5mm; small headphone output) - L/R Cinch Audio Jack, as you say.

  • I am trying to play my digital music off a hard drive onto my home stereo.  I would like to know if the mac mini can just hook to my processor and play music through the processor(preamp) on my home stereo speakers?

    I currently have a nice home stereo component system.  I also have a 500 GB external hard drive loaded with music.  I am looking for a way to play the music off this Hard Drive onto my home stereo system.  I currently have a WD home entertainment box that I can play movies that I download off the Internet on my TV, of course piped through my home stereo for the sound.  I would like to know if the mac-mini could be used in this form also.  Just have the HD hooked to it, the TV would become my monitor and the mac mini would play the music ... RANDOMLY ... with the use of iTunes.  This of course would be hooked up to the home system with an hdmi cable and the HD hooked up through a USB connection.
    Just would like to know if this could work?

    Yes. Is the short answer.
    You can directly connect the speaker out port of the Mac mini to an input on the AV Receiver which then feeds your speakers. This would be an audio only solution. If you use a TOS-Link connection this will be a pure digital connection ensuring the best quality (important for audiophiles).
    You can if you wish connect the video from the Mac mini to the AV Receiver, and if you have a Mac mini with HDMI or a Mini Displayport you can run the audio and video via a single cable. (Older models would use two cables, the aforementioned TOS-Link pus a DVI to HDMI cable.)
    If you do connect the video output from the Mac to the AV Receiver you can then display this on your TV, and have as one possibility iTunes displayed with perhaps one of the iTunes visualisers playing along with the music. Another possibility would be to use FrontRow on the Mac.
    A different approach would be to have the Mac mini stream over a network to a device e.g. the Sonos Zoneplayer which is then connected to the AV Receiver. An AirPort Express is also able to do this.

  • Can AirPort express be used for AirPlay with my home stereo, and to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via ethernet, simultaneously?

    I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to.  I need it for two things.  The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo.  The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port.  I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
    Thanks!

    The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.

  • IPod Clas. 80GB - What kind of dock to connect to home stereo (Audio only)

    Hi Everyone,
    I've been reading all sorts of threads about problems people have been having with the iPod classic (80GB) and dock compatibility. Do you have any recommendations for docks that will actually work ($50-$100 range)? I'm not that technologically savvy. I'm looking for the following:
    *Dock to connect the iPod Classic 80GB to a home stereo/receiver
    *Audio only - _no video/TV views needed_
    *Charges the iPod while connected to the dock (without falling asleep as I hear they often do)
    *Remote control (not critical to have the remote but it would be nice to have one that performs minimal actions such as volume control, on/off, skip to next song, etc.
    Thanks so much for your help.

    I assume that the other Sound Blaster cards like the Audigy models also have a 3.5mm jack for digital input. Has anyone tried feeding a coax SPDIF signal into it's And if so, how did you make the connection?
    I am really stumped here. I bought the X-Fi specifically for use of its digital input capability. I would have gone with the next higher model which comes with the 5 /4" bay panel (and standard coax SPDIF jacks) but my PC does not have a 5.25" bay available.
