Connecting an iPod to a Home Stereo


To connect an iPod to a stereo receiver, simply plug the mini-jack end of a Mini-jack to RCA cable into the iPod’s Headphones port. Then connect the RCA connectors to the audio input ports on the receiver.

Pros: Easy setup; inexpensive.
Cons: Somewhat messy because you need to have a cable connected to the receiver, whose input ports typically aren’t accessible, so you leave the cable connected and “loose”; you need a separate power adapter and cable to charge the iPod while using it with the stereo.
