ipod hook up for home stereo?
Just got a new lcd sharp aquos tv. All my home stereo stuff is over 10 years old, want to get new home receiver (not home theater – just receiver) want to hook up ipod, but do I have to get the dock that comes seperate from receiver (HK,Denon,Onkyo, Pioneer) all sell them, can’t I use just a universal dock?

If you just want to get the sound to the receiver you can use a dock or a mini to stereo RCA adapter for around $3. It plugs into the headphone jack and connects to the Red and White inputs (hopefully on the front of the receiver for easy access.) It won’t charge the iPod but it’s very easy. Unfortunately the better sound systems reveal the compressed nature of the iPod music files. I would recommend a receiver that has a sound expansion mode to correct for that. Good Luck.
You, you can use the universal dock – but the receiver will not display the info form your iPod. It is just the matter of convenience.
