Hi apologies if this has been discussed before. I want to know if i can access and play a library on an external drive through the USB port on the Onkyo ND-S1? If so is it controlled by the ipod? Amp is a 606 via optical. Any advice appreciated...

No, it's purely for connecting the USB output from a computer.

If your iPod Touch is new enough for iOS4.3 you could try Home Sharing where the iPod can access your iTunes library over wifi. Would make a very neat and tidy system.

RE: MP3/MP4

Thanks for the info. It seems that it will have to go back as i wanted to play through Zone 2 as well as the main speakers. Apparently Zone 2 will only play analogue inputs. Is there a way around this?

Thanks
