the_garynator Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Figured I'd post up here, see if anyone has had experience with this type of setup. I purchased one of these (except from Ebay): http://www.amazon.co...t/dp/B000H3PPNM Hooked everything up, it seems to be doing its job, I'm now able to select CD as a source, however, when I tried to test it out, I hooked up my phone (tried my friend's too) and no sound was coming out. The weirdest part is that the spectrograph animation in the background is going, so I know the deck is getting the signal, but yet it's almost like the output is disabled. (all of my stuff is amped, but I also tried a speaker on the deck's amp). Also, the display says CD, and track time shows as 0000 or whatever. One other thing to note is that it seems that there is only amplifier "hiss" when the CD source is selected, whereas when I select the normal input, there is more "hiss". Makes me think that the outputs are disabled, vs. it being an input issue. I'm trying to figure out if this is an issue with the adapter, compatibility, or a settings thing. Not sure how these things normally function, any insight would be appreciated.

stipek Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have the same unit but just use a flash drive with a ton of music on it. I was disappointed it doesn't have an aux/in. That would make things easier. I sometimes hooked up my droid to my old unit to play pandora. Doesn't work that way with this unit. Although it does with iphones. Check sony's website on the h/u, they have a compatibilty list on there. More than likely that it is. I have contacted them via email on the site with some questions and they have responded fairly quickly. So you could just ask them what you are trying to do, if it can be done with this unit and what you need.

stipek Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Oh yeah, the spectroograph animation is just that...a display animation for looks. It is not analyzing any input signals.
