Re: Connection To Home Audio System

I have currently upgraded my phone to the Nokia N80 which i have to admit is so far the best phone i have ever had to date. The problem i am having is trying to figure out how i can connect my phone to my Technics Audio system. It mentions something about the UPnP technology to be able to do this but so far after hours of searching on the internet i still have found nothing on how this can be done. I got all sorts of extra gadgets with my phone like headset, data cable and 2 other things, one of which is a small cable with the coding CA-44 on it and one of which looks like a bluetooth dongle which connects to your phone and has a small black square on the opposite end. Are these anything to do with how i connect to my audio system or can anyone help me with this matter. Thank you.

Hi,
what you can also do that is less complex is get yourself the Nokia Music pack what you need is the Nokia Audio Adapter AD-15: Simply is Pop-Port to phone, 3.5 mm plug to headphones lets you listen to your phone's FM radio or MP3 player through your own standard stereo headphones, compatible car stereo, or audio amplifier
And ... the Nokia Audio Cable CA-72U: 3.5 mm connector to phone and two RCA connectors to home entertainment system connects your compatible phone to a home stereo system for stereo playback or recording.
Then you are good to go....

Won't play in home audio system

My wife's 5th generation Nano will not play through my home audio system connected with a monster rca cable at the system end and connects to the ipod through the ipod connector (no sound comes through my system, only sound is from the nano speaker). It works fine in both boom boxes that we have. My classic ipod 30gb works fine in my home system.
Is there an adaptor that needs to be purchased?

Contact the vendor of your home audio system. They should be able to tell you the adapters you need.

Universal Adapter with Home Audio Systems

I recently purchased the Universal Adapter for my Ipod in order to make it easier to connect and disconnect from my home audio system. Things work fine when the Audio cable is directly connected to the port in the Ipod, When I place the Ipod in the Universal dock and try to use the "line out" in the dock, either no sound or very muffled sound occurs. Anybody have any ideas?

It seems likely that it will .I am expecting it to

Is it a solution to use Apple TV and VoiceOver to play my tunes on my home audio system?

hi, i am visually impaired and want to be able to have voice access to browse my music so that i can easily play them on my home system. when i saw that apple tv supports voice over, this idea came to my mind to have an apple tv connected to my home audio system and share my library on my computer to be able to browse it using apple tv with voice over enabled. this way i have access to my music library and via voice. but i couldn't find a good tutorial to approve if my idea is correct or not. please give me feedback to know if my idea is a correct one or essentially it is not a good solution for such problem.
thanks a lot

Yes it should work ok.
I don't use it normally but once enabled Voice Over states the current menu position. If the position has submenus it says 'button'.
For example, I have 2 itunes libraries running currently.
As I scroll across the columns using a right keypress it says something like Main Menu and:
Movies (right keypress) Internet (right keypress) Computers
On pressing select on Computers the submenu opens showing both shared libraries:
AlleyCat Mac Mini
AlleyCat Mac Pro
The Voice Over announces 'Alley Cat Mac Mini, Button, One of Two'
Button seems to indicate a submenu.
Pressing down key on remote it announces 'Alley Cat Mac Pro, Button, Two of Two'
Selecting either library lists the media content categories:
Music / TV Shows / Podcasts etc (order may be different)
It announces say 'Music, Button, 1 of 6'
Pressing select ('button') opens the Music category.
You then have several subcategories inclusing Shuffle/ Search / Music Videos/ Album Artist/ Album / Genre/ Genius etc etc
I'd personally like Artist at the top but it should be easy to navigate down with a few clicks and you'll soon remember which menu number is your preferred category.
One say is Artist, there's Shuffle or similar at the top then all artists listed alphabetically.
So I have maybe:
a-Ha
ABBA
ABC
Academy of Ancient Music
Alanis Morrisette
Alisson Krauss
etc
etc
As you scroll down it says the artist name pretty well for most and says say ABBA, Button, 3 of 227'
Select takes you to the album/track submeny and process procedes.
The Apple remote is very simple and should work well, though i think the older white one is more tactile than the new silver one.

Help with home audio system

I'm looking to buy a home audio system mainly for listening to music and such in my home especially when i have parties. I was looking at the mtx tp1200 speakers because they are relativly cheap and i think a good quality speaker for the money but im not sure what kind of reciever i need to buy. The speakers are 150watts each so i was thinking maybe one of these two options:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Yamaha+-+525W+5.1-Ch.+A/V+3D+Pass-Through+Home+Theater+Receiver/9785055....
or
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Denon+-+550W+5.1-Ch.+3D+Pass+Through+A/V+Home+Theater+Receiver/2127161.p...
can someone help me out and give me some suggestions as to which would be better or if you know of another system that would be good. Thanks a lot

What devices are you connecting to the receiver? If you're connecting older video sources I would lean toward the Yamaha since it has component & composite video inputs. It also has more digital audio inputs. I can not remember off the top of my head if the Yamaha does HDMI upconversion. I do prefer Denon as a brand. I find them a lot more user friendly. If you're connecting everything via HDMI I would hands down take the Denon.
Honestly if all you're connecting is a pair of speakers and your only source is a CD player the Sony STR-DH100 or Insignia NSR-2001 will do the job. I've installed both receivers for home audio and theyvre done excellent. I actually installed the Insignia for a business not too long ago and it was powering four in-ceiling speakers pretty well.
I'd still lean toward the Denon though if you plan on upgrading to a surround sound.

ITouch Firmware Upgrade - Can no longer connect to car audio system

I just upgraded to 3.1.1 last night on my iTouch and can no loger plug in and connect to the audio system on my Infiniti G35x. The iTouch shows that it is connected by the audio system shows that it isn't. I've checked the cables, etc and all is fine and can connect another iPod without any issues. Thoughts...?

This is a known issue that started with the 3.0 release, and it affects several auto manufacturers. I was hoping that 3.1.1 would fix this for my Honda, but no dice. Something changed either in the communication protocol or timing, but whose fault it is seems to depend on how many Apple products you own
You can step back down to the 2.x firmware ... search around for "DFU mode", I did it once and may do it again now that 3.1.1 doesn't solve this.

No sound on my home audio system with universal dock

Hi,
I have 2 docks: the iPod dock and the universal dock.
If I use the dock with my home audio system I have sound - clear and loud.
If I use the universal dock I have no sound.
Does the universal dock only work with a remote?

If the home audio system is the same, the cables are the same, the iPod is the same, and the settings are the same, than I would assume you have a bad dock.

Helping Picking a Home Audio System for Christmas Gift!

I'm looking for a home audio system for a user that has a ps3 (so a dvd player is not needed), is HDMI compatible, probably a 5.1 system (?), and if possible to be priced between $200-$300. Anyone have any suggestions?

Unfortunately, you will need to spend more than that or buy a used one.

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.

Connecting LG home theatre system to xbox

"I'm looking at a blue ray home theater system (LG LHB953). I want to make sure there's a way to have my xbox play its sound through the blue ray speaker system. Here is a link to the picture of the back of the blue ray player (http://shopper.cnet.com/sc/33656614-2-440-DT4.jpg) and the TV is a toshiba 40rv525r (If you message me I can send you a link with a pic that shows the back of that too). Is there a way for me to play the xbox and tv sound through the blue ray player even though it doesn't have an extra hdmi port? For example could an audio component cable connect the two? thanks for your time"

Nope, there shouldn't be any need to have anything going from the xbox to the receiver, unless you had additional hdmi ports in it, which you dont.

Connecting to home theatre system but is not recognized

trying to connect to sony home theater system but says its not supported. It states that ipod classic is supported. Is there a way to update my older ipod?

Connect the audio output from your Mac to a line in jack on the home stereo.
OR...
Get an AirPort Extpress.
OR...
Get an Apple TV.

Connecting iPod to audio system on new Honda Accord

I tried to connect my eight-year-old iPod to the audio system on a new Honda Accord and got the message "Unsupported." The instructions on how to do this are not complex. Any idea why my iPod shows up as unsupported, other than its age? Any solutions?

Possibly age. I just looked up "A1136" and that seems to be a 5th gen iPod (the "iPod video"). It's old, but that model was often the cut-off for support (for being supported). The only way to find out what your car's audio system officially supports is to find the specificaltions.
If the car audio system has a mini-stereo jack as an aux. audio input, you can connect your iPod from the headphones jack to the aux. input using something like this
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
For an older iPod, that may be a better way to connect it, because it is simple. There is no interaction between car system and iPod taking place. The iPod just needs to play music like always, except it is playing through the car system instead of through your headphones.

Connecting an external audio system to a MacBook Pro...

I have a Boston Acoustics digital audio system that works fine connected to the audio card on my Windows XP system. I would like to connect it to my MacBook Pro. How can I do this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You're a little light on details there...
For example, are you trying to replace the Windows machine with the Mac (i.e. use the same inputs on the Boston Acoustics system), or are you trying to add the Mac in addition (i.e. use a new set of inputs).
Either way you need to look at what inputs you have available - e.g. RCA, toslink, SPDI/F, etc. - that will tell you what you need on the audio system side and you can then find the right option from the Mac.
The simplest option that most people use is just to use a simple audio cable from the headphone jack on the MacBook Pro and plug that into the audio inputs on the receiver. This is simple, adequate for most purposes, but it takes all the audio (including things like system audio) and disables the internal speakers.
For a step up in quality, the MacBook Pro has a digital audio output as well (built into the headphone socket) for which you'll need a special cable (search the Apple Store for the AirPort Express Stereo Connection kit).
If neither of those options fit then there are numerous USB and FireWire audio interfaces that can provide any number of outputs. Which one's right for you, though, depends on those inputs on the receiver.

Zens - connectivity with car audio systems

Hi - got an odd, obscure question. I have an Audi fitted with the so-called 'Audi Music Interface'. As well as the ubiquitous Ipod connector, this one comes with a mini-USB port to which I have successfully connected a Zen X-fi 32GB and a 2GB Samsung YP-K3. However, when I try to connect my 4GB Zen V+ I get an 'unable to connect' message from the Audi.
The music on all three is from the same source (same file formats etc) so what can be thedifference between the two Zens that prevents one of them from being recognised by the unit's I have usedWMP to transfer the music to all threeMP3 players.
Another oddity - while I'm at it - is that the X-fi doesn't like being undocked from the car and will frequently lock up and require a reset. It will resume working without a problem if left connected iin place.
Any ideas anyone

Yeh - tried that. Trouble is, it doesn't last. I frequently have to reset the device and, every two or three days, it hangs so completely, I can only get it going again by going into Recovery mode and doing a 'clean up'. This works but not for long.
I've also noticed that the Zen doesn't appear to charge while connected th the car system. The little green battery indicator suggests that it is charging but after 48 hours in the car, the Zen won't start and has to be recharged via my computer
If that player is under warranty I would return it. If not use another method to connect to the car stereo. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the system you have to advise on that. As for the charging I have a USB port on mine & the same thing occurs as it appears to dock & charge except it does not. That I would say has to do with the player itself not that it is a defect of the player. For instance all wall chargers in particular the ones you can plug a usb cord into will not charge a Creative player. I know because I have tried with several different players I own. The fact your stereo is Ipod ready tells me that very well may be why it does not perform as you would expect since the 2 devices are very diiferent.Wish I could be of more help.
