  • Radio Remote - Stereo or Mono

    Hi There,
    New here. just got a radio remote for my nano. It *****. reception is bad and worst it is mono. Or did i miss any setting in order to receive FM Stereo? I updated to ver 1.1.1 from ver 1.0
    thank u in advance for the helop
    cheers

    No, there's no setting to switch between the two.
    There's no doubt that reception is better outdoors that in, and of course the strength of signal relies on the headphone cable acting as the aerial.
    Aside from the fact that the RDS function is poorly implemented (and has been mentioned here and in the iPod Lounge many times), I find reception to be above average for this type of portable radio.

  • IPod radio connect to stereo

    How can I connect iPod-radio and iPod via docking station to my stereo (Bose) or is this not possible?

    I don't know why you would want to connect an iPod radio to a stereo when the stereo itself should pick up a radio station. But If you are talking about connecting a iPod radio remote and iPod to a stereo, you will have to leave the docking station out of the mix. you will connect the remote radio to the ipod, then connect a RCA wire (Yellow Side) to the remote radio, the the other end to the bose stereo

  • Radio remote output

    I noticed difference in the output of the sound when connecting the earphone or speaker to the radio remote jack vs to the ipod's stereo minijack directly. Can anyone confirm if this is true & explain why if there's such a different? thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There may be a slight difference. In general, the dock connector supplies audio at much better quality and is generally louder when compared to the headphone port. This is because the dock connector is commonly used with speakers or similar accessories where good sound quality is important.

  • Can I use non-apple earphones with radio remote?

    I have a new Ipod 3g and want to buy the radio remote. Must I use the earbuds supplied with the radio remote or can I use non-apple earbuds and earphones? Will I still get good radio reception with a non-apple earphone?

    Yes you can. I use Sennheiser PX100's and they work just fine.
    Plug the headphones into the remote rather than the iPod to get the best reception.

    I currently have iPod Nano with 1.1.1 software update and iPod Radio Remote, but even after the update I do't get the radio option to appear in the main menu or music menu, with the option in settings turn ON. Why isn't this thing working?

    hiya!
    just doublechecking something. are you connecting the remote directly to the nano, or are you connecting it to a Dock and putting the ipod in the dock?

  • Problems in compatibility of iPod radio remote with iPod classic 160 GB

    Hi all,
    I have just bought a iPod classic 160 GB and want to buy a iPod radio remote as well. However, after I have done my research, I find the radio remote is not compatible with iPod classic perfectly…
    Do you think it is a good idea for me to wait a new radio remote (maybe) or later Apple will release update?
    Thanks

    I use my Radio Remote with a Classic; it does everything that it had with my 5G-Video EXCEPT it will not allow me to set radio stations, either with the Radio Remote's control or the iPod's control.
    I have spoken with an iPod specialist (Apple Care) and according to him Apple has acknowleged less than 100% compatibility/functionality with the Radio Remote and the Classics. One of the reasons, he stated, was that several 5G-Video iPods were "getting fried" when the Remote was not fully connected to the docking-port. So Apple has decided to reengineer the port [for better a connection, I gather]. What puzzles me the most about the new generation of iPods is why they were rolled out without warning customers that their Car-Charger, Video Player, dock, AV Cable, or APPLE'S OWN Remote will not play nice with each other!
    This go around, it's find out the hard way.

  • Radio Remote Not Working As It Should

    tonight i bought a radio remote so I can listen to the radio. i plug it in, it works. however when i go to change the channel, it wont change. the volume can be turned up and down from both the ipod itself and the remote. also the radio can be turned on/off by both the ipod and the remote. any ideas? any help? thanks.

    Same exact problem here after 7 months of problem free usage. I cannot change the stations on the touch wheel or the remote. Tried resetting and re-syncing to no avail. Arghhh!!!

  • Radio remote destroyed my Apple Ear Buds

    Hi
    I was using my apple ear buds for 4 months now, all he sudden after i got the radio remote, the left ear bud's volume dropped by 2 db, that is allot, not to mention bass frequencies out of phase now.
    I can say from 16 years of recording records that the ear buds have been damaged, and i can not see how it was due to excessive volume but something with the remote, or maybe just was a matter of time due to the quality of the materials.
    My ear buds, i have ONE question, will apple replace them of they have not a scratch?
    http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/lmaltviewm9394ga.jpg

    Apple will replace them if they are still under
    warranty.
    http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    This is the iPod warranty, not the ear buds.
    I wonder how i will have to go about this.

  • Does the Apple Radio Remote work after the update?

    Anyone try it after the update? I know it didn't work before...
    And a side question, since there doesn't seem to be anywhere to ask...are the support forums (especially logging in) constantly crashing Safari (Mac version, desktop) for you?

    The Apple Radio Remote I am assuming you mean the one linked below
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/accessories.html
    It would be the accessory attached to a ipod.
    IF this is the accessory your referring too. Then please note that the compatible devices that it works with is only ipods and not the iphone. Check the link below for yourself.
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B9E C42BD&nplm=MA070G/C
    If you wish to have this accessory available for the iphone then leave feedback below
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    And no logging into the forums is quirky but it does not affect my safari especially not crashing.

  • Has Anyone Found the New Version of the  iPod Radio Remote?

    Hi,
    Per iLounge, Apple released an updated ipod radio remote that has the most current version of Apple's ipod headphones as opposed to the shortened ones. I've checked on-line, Best Buy, Circuit City Compu World, Micro Center with no luck. I aslo tried the bricks-and-mortar Apple store...they looked at me like I had ten heads. Apparently they have the same sku as the old set.
    I posted a question to Apple Support, but no response yet. Has anyone found the new version anywhere?
    Thanks

    Thanks. I've submitted requests to Apple to find out if or when they will be shipping the new remote, but they have not responded within their promoted 24-hour timeframe. I'll try to order from Apple directly and hope I get the new headphones too!
    Thanks

  • How do i get my ipod radio/remote replaced?

    I bought my ipod radio/remote back in October and its suddenly stopped working. It is detected by the ipod (classic) as it brings up the radio option on the menu and also the volume up and down controls still work. However none of the other controls work at all.
    Ive plugged it into my old ipod (video) that my girlfriend uses and it has exactly the same problem.
    According to my receipt from the apple store its guaranteed until October 08 so do i need to take it back to the store or can i just get another one directly to me by apple?

    You can either take it back to the Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment on your computer the day you decide to go: it is a little busy at all of them right now) or go here: http://www.apple.com/support/oss/

  • Question about the "iPod radio remote"

    I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
    Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
    And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
    What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
    What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
    And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
    Someone that has one can perhaps answer
    Cheers
    Ray

    I can at least answer some of the questions.
    The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
    UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
    to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
    displayed on almost all radio stations such as
    Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
    Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
    it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
    "USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
    the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
    then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
    is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
    There are three settings for the radio which you
    choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
    setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
    be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
    here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
    No, there is no AM radio.
    You can plug headphones into the remote or the
    headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
    I'm not sure I understand your question about the
    bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
    via the dock connector.
    There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
    one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
    cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
    radio/remote is connected as they use the same
    connector.
    Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
    Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
    will of course depend on where you use it. I've
    used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
    dropping to mono.
    Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
    nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
    (after you do this a radio function appears in the
    menu), and some users have found that doing this
    screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
    nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
    There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
    mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
    course there will be those who disagree.
    iPod
    Radio/Remote Review.
    Thank you for the reply.
    Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
    Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
    Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto
