| 455421 | 2006-05-17 02:22:00 | Hello. I bought a fairly nice stereo a while ago and being an idiot did not check to see if it had any aux inputs - and it doesn't. So I must disconnect my cd player to play my computers audio which is a right waste of a 5cd player. Does anyone know if theres any sort of double adapter for cd input so I can plug both in? Or maybe somehow I could use the phone input? If either of these is possible, will it result in quality loss? Also, if buying a dvd recorder that does not play DivX, is the only way to play video from my computer on it to convert it to DVD quality or whatever and burn it to DVD? Or is there some sneaky way? |

| 455422 | 2006-05-17 03:17:00 | The doubled or "y" type RCA plugs are available at places like Radio Shak here in the US....just make sure to not use two inputs at the same time...it might swamp the front end of the amplifier. Try this link, but you might have to use Internet Explorer to see the item....Firefox will NOT work! www.radioshack.com |

| 455423 | 2006-05-17 03:32:00 | Yeah - Dick Smith Electronics here (www.dse.co.nz) sell the sort of RCA adaptors Joe is talking about - fairly cheap too. All they do is simply split one RCA socket into two, so you can plug in two things at once. | somebody (208) | ||

| 455425 | 2006-05-17 03:53:00 | i would suggest buying an A/V switch from DSE, would cost you under $30 and you will not have the problems of signal degradation you will encounter by using rca splitters. | muzzle (10342) | ||
| 455426 | 2006-05-17 04:02:00 | Yup the adapter will definitely reduce sound. You could use Nero (www.nero.com) cdburnerxp (http:) or Burn4free (http://www.burn4free.com) which I came across in the latest Netguide. Altho, I dont know how good Burn4free and CDburnerXP are. Never used them. Burn4free looks like it can make an MP3 / CD compilation, from within My computer / Windows Explorer as well. |

| 455427 | 2006-05-17 04:13:00 | oh yes, and seeing as you asked a two part question i should go ahead and answer the second... most dvd players (and recorders) will cope with other formats of video from your pc, try converting it to mpeg or avi (one without crazy codecs) and authough it will take more space (in terms of MB) it will work on your player. Converting to dvd is of course an option but will take much longer. |

| 455428 | 2006-05-17 09:23:00 | Hi What type of stereo is it ? Is it an all in one unit or separate CD player amp etc.. Does it have any other inputs like 'Tape' , 'AV' Just use one of those. It doesn't have to be 'Aux' input. A lot of the new stereos have a input for your ipod so you could use that. |
