| 707628 | 2008-09-25 08:04:00 | Tried mine on through my amp and you are best to turn the volume on full on the mp3 player and adjust the listening volume with the stereo. But be warned the playback will probably sound crap definitely not stereo CD quality | gary67 (56) | ||
| 707629 | 2008-09-25 22:12:00 | Thanks for the input. I remember seeing an "iTrip" connected to an Ipod some time back, played thru a vacant radio channel. Anyone any experience with these...? |

| 707631 | 2008-09-29 03:02:00 | Just as a follow-up to this.... Today with a bit more time I went back to this problem. My stereo system is connected to my TV, Sky, a VCR and a DVD player. I disconnected everything and found that the MP3 player worked quite well. I then re-connected all the spaghetti bit by bit and found some rather strange connections so went back to the manuals. After a lot of trial and error I now have everything working well, including the MP3. Considering the surround system is pretty powerful, I can get a quite OK sound level, probably about 2/3rds of total volume. The sound quality seems to be at least as good as the original discs, although that may be pushing it a bit. Just in case this helps anyone else. Everything I googled tended to suggest a considerable loss of performance and quality, in my case, with a new model MP3, I am quite happy. Thanks to those who initially responded. |

| 707633 | 2008-09-29 07:55:00 | Just have to add my tuppenceworth... been playing my iPod thru the stereo for about 4 years now using a 3.5mm jack to 2x rca plugs bought from DSE for about $10. The volume does have to be slightly higher than if you were using headphones but the sound is awesome and plays all day, as long as the iPod is connected to the mains. I also have an iTrip that lasted 3 years and took an awfull lot of mistreatment an the sound from that was ok, although the transmission distance is quite short. Its the wired option for me in this case. |
