Hooking directly to a stereo receiver

I have hooked up a Y audio cable from the headphones jack to my stereo receiver to play over some built in room speakers. However, only on side plays. I have purchased a a new cord but no success. If I swap the cords (red to white), the other speaker will play. How do I get this to work?

I am having the same trouble. Is it the connection.? I have not gone into the preferences and will try that. But earphones and speakers only play on the left. If I pull out it plays on the right./ Let me know if you get an answer: [email protected]
I just went into system preferences, sound, and found that the slider was all over to the left. Put it in the middle: that should do it.

Hooking up iPod to Stereo Receiver

Is it possible to have my iPod play through my receiver. I'm crossing my finger I can so I can ditch my CD player.
Thanks. Hoping for a good reply.

Yes, you can -- if your receiver has an auxiliary input. It requires a small cable that connects to the earphone jack on the iPod and plugs into the auxiliary input on your receiver. I'm not sure what the cable is called...mine came with my JBL Onstage speaker set.
There may be other ways, but I have used this successfully.

Mini to stereo receiver for music only vs. CD player or ipod

Thinking of ditching my CD player and just ripping 'em all to itunes on my Mini and connecting it directly to my stereo receiver. I figure that with an external HD I can pip them at CD quality rather than mp3 with an ipod. Any problems with this thinking? Is the quality coming out of the Mini's headphone jack good enough to match my CD player? Thanks for any advice on this!

Absolutely. A lot of people are doing it. You can put all those CDs away somewhere and not have them taking up living space (if that's a priority).
Using Apple Lossless compression you'll have results that are indistinguishable from the CDs. If you're not a critical listener you can probably get by with 256kb/s or 320kb/s MP3 (or AAC - Apple compressed), as that sounds exactly the same as the original source for 80-90% of people.

No. The headphone jack has only average fidelity. For CD-like sound quality, you'll want to get a quality, external A-to-D converter (analog-to-digital). Examples:

Can I use my ipod touch as a airplay receiver to hook up to my stereo and play my itunes music from my computer?

I just was wondering, Can I use my ipod touch as a airplay receiver to hook up to my stereo and play my itunes music from my computer?

I believe there's got to be a way you can use the ipod touch as a airplay receiver to use on the stereo.
The ipod touch has a port for plugging in earphones, that can also be used to plug a stereo into it.
Now somebody just has to make an app for using on ipod touch or iphone to plug directly into the stereos input
jack to play itunes music from your computer wirelessly, other than the ipod being plugged into the stereo with a wire.

Hooking up iPod to home stereo receiver?

Hi, all. I just bought my first iPod, a classic. I wanted to hook it up to my home stereo receiver, an NAD made back in '88. It has inputs for phono, tape, CD and video.
I went to my local Apple store and told the sales person I wanted to hook up my iPod to my receiver. He sold me a Belkin cable that goes from the headphone jack on the iPod to the RCA inputs on my receiver. Only problem is, I can't figure out how to make it work. So far I have questions:
1. Which input should it go into--tape, CD or video?
2. How loud should I set the volume on the iPod?
3. Do I need to do anything with the "settings" such as the EQ or "clicker"?
Sorry if this question has been asked and answered a dozen times in the past month. I ran some searches here before I posted. Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
John

Whichever one makes the most sense for you (and is free to use). I'm assuming all the inputs are identical apart from the labelling to match the input selector on the front of the unit.
Hi, iBod, thanks for your answers.
The only thing I'm still unsure of is the assumption that all the inputs are identical in terms of the voltage or amperage that they can accept. For example, I know that the phono input is designed for a signal that needs preamplification and the tape input is designed for a signal that doesn't. I'm not sure about the CD and video inputs, and what I want to avoid is having the iPod damage the receiver with too much amperage or voltage or whatever.
Anyone know for sure?

John

Can I connect a stereo receiver to Apple TV and stream iTunes to my stereo?

I copied this question from a discussion archived from 2008, it's pretty much my question, although I hope to get a little more information on the answers... My stereo receiver (Sony STR-D511) is an older one but currently my TV (signal from Directv DVR) plays through the receiver on video 1 but I can't get the Apple TV to play through the stereo... My TV is quite new, a philips 1080, and the Apple TV is hooked in to HDMI 3, the Directv box is hooked into AV3, I believe I'm having issue with all the different sources my TV has and somehow I'm unable to cross the paths (make the connections) any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I would like the ability to play my itunes via Apple TV through my stereo receiver so that it's on the Stereo speakers rather then the TV Speakers.

Hi, and firstly thanks for the reply... I think my TV back has different labeled areas, so I took a photo and posted -- I'm bad with the electronics terms and the translating of it all - ( I attached a pic) - I hope this helps with the photos you can also see where I have
thing plugged in - that one with svideo/rca cables is AV 3, where my DVRbox is going - the red/white cables on the right without a yellow go to my video 1 input on my receiver... the cables on the side are for my dvd player which the audio only works thru TV as well... then also below the red/white ones is HDMI3 where the apple tv is going... that's why i thought the stereo would work because its right below the cables that go to the stereo?
i hope this helps thanks again for your time
cheers

Sound Blaster card 'digital out' into my high-end stereo receiver?

BSound Blaster card 'digital out' into my high-end stereo receiver?A I want?to interface my iTunes music library?(all tunes in Apple Lossless file format) to my high-end sound system, using an optical (TOSLink)?cable and a "mini TOSLink adapter" that will plug into the 'digital out' jack on the Sound Blaster card in my Windows XP PC. This configuration will take advantage of the high-end DAC's in my Denon receiver.
I don't care about getting surround sound out of my PC, and I'm not a gamer. I just want hi-fi stereo music from my iTunes library.
Will this work?Can I expect CD-quality sound?
Also, would it be worthwhile to upgrade my model SB394 sound card to a hi-fi SB card like X-Fi Xtreme Audio, or is any sound card as good as any other for simply deli'vering the digital data stream to my Denon receiver?

well, I have two devices that a combo CD player/Tape decks/radio tuner/amp; one has misc input, the other doesn't. Both are analog devices, both are old things I bought at a yard sale. I got 6 bookshelf speakers that use pairs of stripped wire as the input hooked up in 2 parallel wired sets of 3 to the CD/Tape/Tuner/Amp thing that has a misc input. Anyway, the one without misc input has a 3 disk CD changer, plus it would give me a way to input tape and radio sounds sources into my computer if I just connected it's audio outputs to the internally located Aux In on my soundblaster card in my computer. But I wonder, what considerations do I have to have?
Firstly, is the Aux In on my board analog or digital? I'm assuming if it doesn't say "digital", it's analog; correct?......
secondly, and more importantly; the CD/Tape/Tuner/Amp thing is supposed to be used with 8 ohm speakers and do I have to worry about sending too much current to the soundcard?
specific model of SB card; I'm not sure. It has 2 analog outs, analog in, mic in, digital out and a joystick port; and it came installed on a 200 Dell w/ Win ME
and please, don't try selling me something; I use old crappy hardware and really do not mind doing so.
any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Aux-In is an analog port (4-pin connector/stereo).
Don't connect powered output (= speaker outputs) into soundcard but, if possible, use some low-power connection like Headphones-Out (or if possible then some line-out port).

The Mac Pro can't drive speakers directly. You need powered speaker, ao an amplifier.

Connecting apple tv through stereo receiver

I just bought apple tv and wanted to know if it's possible to connect it through my HDMI stereo receiver instead of directly through my tv. I ask this because I don't want to have to take the tv off the wall and feed cables through the wall unless I have to. Thanks.

Assuming that your TV is connected to the HDMI output of your receiver, you just need to figure out how to route HMDI 2 to the HDMI Output. How to do this depends on the receiver. You should search for forums that are specific your model to get more detailed help.

Music from external HD- iMac- Airport Express- stereo receiver- speakers?

Can I stream my music from my external HD to my iMac (current set-up, which works) to a new Airport Express which will be connected to a stereo receiver and speakers, and avoid going through my older D-Link router? In other words, will my (fairly new) iMac talk wirelessly to a new AE?
Reading all the posts about various ways to set this up is giving me a headache ....
Thanks in advance.

The default "out-of-the-box" mode of the AX is a wireless router. That means that the AX will broadcast its own wireless network when powered-up. Since you already have a wireless router you, in effect, will have two wireless networks operating at the same time if you leave the AX in its default configuration ... and why you would have to change to the wireless network created by the AX in order to stream iTunes.
The inconvenience of this, of course, is that you would have to switch to the D-Link's wireless network when you want Internet access and to the AX's when streaming. To overcome this problem, the AX would need to be configured to "join a wireless network"; in this case, that would be the network created by the D-Link. Once the AX is joined, you will be able to access the Internet & stream iTunes simultaneously.
To reconfigure the AX to do so, I suggest that you first access the AX's wireless network from your iMac's built-in AirPort (on the menubar). (Note: The default network name of the AX would be something like AirPort Network xxxxxx, where the x's are the last six digits of the AX's AirPort ID (printed on the label attached to the AX).) Then use the AirPort Utility, in "Assist Me" mode, and follow the directions to join a wireless network.

How to get pc audio through seperate stereo receiver - Audig

Hello,
I have an Audigy 2 SC and a yamaha 5. stereo receiver + subwoofer:
http://www.yamaha.ca/av/Hometheatre/YHT70S.jsp
I've been trying to get my pc audio (songs,dvd's,pc games) to go through the receiver. Thus far I have only been able to hear audio through the green input (one of the line outs) yet I only hear audio on the right side of the 5.. Only the front right, back right and center speaker are emitting the audio. In the options I have de-selected the "Digital Output Only" tab, set the speaker settings at 2.. The cable that I'm using is a headphone jack at one end (into green input port) and RCA's at the other hooking into my AUX inputs on the receiver.
How do I get either get 5. or just the front speakers to work properly?
Many thanks for anyones help

Hi and welcome..

How to play iPhone 5 music through an old stereo receiver?

I have an old stereo receiver hooked up to a home speaker system and I would like to play music from my iPhone 5?
How can I do this?

Police won't take a report.
The judge simply rolls her eyes, even with his admittal he has phone and has used it to stalk me.
What can a lawyer do? None of my three lawyers felt there was anything they could do.
However, if Apple, as I was told by AT&T, could trace the location of the first iPhone to his physical address, I could link the offenses.

Connecting iTunes/Macmini to stereo receiver using cable

I was wondering if anyone had experience connecting their computer to stereo receiver using cable of medium length (30 - 40 feet). I have Airport Express, but want to circumvent the conversion of aiff files to Apple Lossless that seems to be hard-wired into Airtunes.
macmini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes you can hook up your mini to your stereo using the combined optical digital audio output/headphone out (minijack). On my Powerbook, I have used both my headphone jack and an iMic to connect to my A/V receiver. Remember, with an analog signal, the longer and/or thinner the cable, the more degradation you will get, but only your ears can tell you if you can hear the difference caused by that degradation on your system.
