Complete IPod novice..
manicm:grdunn123:My new Ipod Touch 4th Gen will be here in a day or 2 and now I'm on the hunt for a Dock that will allow me to play it through my new Pioneer SCLX82 receiver.....looking for the ability to charge whilst it plays AND great sound quality. Any suggestions???No need, your Pioneer includes digital connection to iPod via supplied cable (not sure if it charges).
Thanks for the reply. I know I have the included cable with the Pioneer amp but I was looking at the Onkyo digital dock but this doesn't appear to be comapible with the new Ipod Touch. I can use the Pioneer supplied cable but it means the Ipod will have to sit on my av rack as the lead is short. Is there a dock I can use which will allow me to charge and use and maybe to have remote control of my Ipod while it's playing?
As far as I know, analogue docks will be your only option then, unless you're willing to stump up for the Wadia dock - should be compatible with the new Touch but is expensive. Can Pioneer not supply a longer lead?
Cheers manicm, will try it with the existing cable before I think about changing or getting somethin else. The Pioneer cable has a usb and 3.5mm joint cable at the same end, Apple interface at the other....are these available widely?
Surely an adapter"female to female"usb is available from some of the online cable stores. I know you can get female to female adapters for rca as i have 1
Or this??
Thanks John, as the title of the post suggests I am a complete novice with Ipods, never had one. Why does the Pioneer cable have the usb and the 3,5mm connectors at the same end? Do I need to plug both in at once or do i just use 1? if I just need one , then which? usb or 3.5mm??
Hook them both up as far as i can tell... The 3.5mm is for info on the screen and the usb is for audio and the control functions of the ipod on the 82s remote. You can see them side by side on the front of the amp behind flip panel. Took the plunge today......Picked up a brand new 52 blu ray for a bargain...under £200 on ebay!
I'm dying to hear what you think of the new BD player!! Thats a great price!! My Ipod arrives Thursday so I'll wait til it's here and see what I need.
