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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

Parameter Filenames in Universal Adapter With Filenames In SrcFiles Dir

Hello Experts,
We are running DAC 10.1.3.4.1 and Informatica 9.0.1 HotFix2 and are in the process of trying to get an OOTB DAC Execution Plan to complete. We are able to build a plan but run into issues when running. We created a custom execution plan called TEST with one subject area (Financials - Cost of Goods Sold) and when the plan is built, 248 tasks are generated. Only 9 complete succcessfully.
When looking at the details of a specific workflow within the Informatica Workflow Manbager, i.e. SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension, we find that within the workflow properties, the Parameter Filename Attribute = $PMSourceFileDir\SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt. On our file system, the file is named, $PMSessionLogFile=FLATFILECONNECTION.DBCONNECTION_OLAP.SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt. The task fails because it cannot find the file. We believe the different filenames are the reason but are posting this thread because we cannot figure why or how to get the filenames properly synched.
So you know, we are using a data source that is not an Oracle supported data source, hence we are using DAC's Universal Adapter to bring in flatfiles, like the one above for instance.
Please help,
Thanks

Hello,
I don't think it was the source of your problem. It is always the case: DAC generates always SrcFiles with a name='Physical Data Sources Name'.'???'.'Informatica Folder Name'.'Mapping Name'
Where does your file FLATFILECONNECTION.DBCONNECTION_OLAP.SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt created ?
Does this path equal to the DAC variable InformaticaParameterFileLocation declared in the DAC System Properties tab (menu Setup) ?
Hope it helps,

Iphone 6 iOS 8.1 no longer playing properly with car audio system

Hi there,
I have an iphone 6 running ios 8.1 and it is no longer allowing me to play/pause songs through the car's audio system. I have a USB port in the car that allows me to plug my iphone in and control the Music through the car audio system.
I have a 2011 Holden Cruze.
Prior to the iOS upgrade, the function worked fine.
Bluetooth connectivity is still OK and if I control the music via the iPhone it will play.
Is anyone else having this issue and are apple aware of it?
Thanks.

Hi Darren,
I'm experiencing the exact same issue with my Volkswagen Golf 2015. Since the update I'm unable to use the play/pause button. When I press the button while my phone is connected through the MDI cable it does nothing. But if I use Bluetooth I can control it without issue. That said, in my car I don't want to use Bluetooth while I'm playing music because I want to charge my iPhone at the same time so I need to use the cable. I think this is a really issue and Apple should advise.
Update:
I did a full restore without using a backup of my old phone. Oh surprise... It seems to work now. But the worst now, is that I have this album of U2 showing in my playlist. I don't know if it's related, but that album was not showing when I used my back-up the first time. Seriously, I think Apple succeed at messing up enough with iOS 8.1 and this U2 album to break the playlist and the playback functionality with cars and radios.
To resolve the issue I tried:
Restore to iOS 8.1 with back-up - FAILED
Restore to iOS 8.1 without using any back-up - SUCCEED but fail at the same time because I need to re-setup my iPhone manually and try to get rid of this U2 album.

IDoc adapter with Non SAP systems

SAP XI 3.0 help says:
You can use the IDoc adapter to connect SAP systems (as of release 3.1) and non-SAP systems with the Integration Server using native IDoc structures
What does this mean?
-Naveen.

Hi Naveen,
Let me give a use-case in one of our projects ....we have 2 middlewares in our landscape...webmethods and XI...and in one particular instance there was a need to send an FI IDoc from webmethods to XI and forward it to R/3....
In this case, the webmethods was treated like any other sap system for receiving IDoc into XI(with settings in IDX1)...
Hope this might clarify a little bit...
Thanks,

Using Extreme With Home Audio

My friend has Home audio speakers hooked up all through out his house and we will be using the airport extreme to stream his music to the receiver kinda like a squeeze box. Now my question is he is wanting to use his I Phone as an active remote for this system and I am not sure if he can. And if anyone had any other ideas to make this project easier or to make it better or if I am doing something wrong please let me know. I plan on keeping this thread updated while I am on this project so please any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mkleineick, Welcome to the discussion area!
My friend has Home audio speakers hooked up all through out his house and we will be using the airport extreme to stream his music to the receiver kinda like a squeeze box.
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) has no special abilities in regard to music.
Are you perhaps meaning the AirPort Express (AX)?
Now my question is he is wanting to use his I Phone as an active remote for this system and I am not sure if he can.
There is an iPhone/iPod application which allows it to control the iTunes on your computer streaming music to the AX.

Home Audio System.

Im considering purchasing an iPad in the hope of wall mounting it and setting it up with wireless speakers around my room to replace my HiFi. However im having trouble finding powerful and impressive looking (nobody wants a tiny little box in the corner of the room) speakers to connect an iPad to. Trying to find something kinda along the line of home cinema style speakers.
Any advice wear to look, or any links, would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing you're looking for powered speakers, right? Audio Engine gets great reviews http://audioengineusa.com/Store/Audioengine-5. They also have a wireless adapter kit.
You might also think soundbars. You could use a Bluetooth adapter for a wireless connection.

Connecting MACBOOK to home audio system - via 'headphone' jack?

When setting up the MACBOOK to deliver its audio output to an amplifier/receiver, how is that best done?
That is, I assume a y-cable (stereo mini plug-to-(2) RCA plugs) might not be the best way, since it's taking a 'headphone' level signal to what are supposed to be 'line level' inputs.
But are there other better ways of doing this, given that the 'headphone out' is all the MACBOOK has?
Thanks.

Just realized that was a full size Toslink and not the mini one on a MacBook. You could either use an adapter or a purpose-built full-size Toslink to mini optical.

Home Audio System From Mac Mini

I need some ideas of the best way to set up a system of speakers through my house.
I have a display in the kitchen running off a Mac Mini and i want to install sets of speakers all around the house, but i also want to be able to control the sets of speakers individually.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'd be suggesting a mixing desk with 8 outputs which would allow this. Not sure about value for money however. any other suggestions?
