Playing an iPod Over a Home Stereo System

After you have installed or connected the components necessary to send your iPod’s output to a home receiver, listening to your iPod’s music is as simple as simple gets (however simple that is). On the receiver, select the iPod source, such as an Aux input or the FM tuner tuned to the frequency on which you are broadcasting your iPod’s output. Then use the iPod controls to play the music and use the receiver’s controls to set the volume level. Typically, you should leave the iPod’s volume set at a mid-range point when using it with a home receiver. That prevents any distortion that might occur when the iPod is using its maximum output level.
Using an iPod in this way is no different than other sources, such as a standard CD player.
