iPOD into Aux

[spoonman]

I am going to be installing this new JVC CD/DVD player in my T4R. http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/1557372/vpcsid/0/SFV/30046

It has RCA Aux Inputs

"Also includes RCA inputs for connecting your favorite audio device."


I am going to be connecting my iPod to it through Aux. I know you can run a normal RCA cable with a piece that converts to a headphone jack on the end. I was just wondering if this is the best way or is there another cable that can be used that could provide better sound quality???

I think that the way you describe is the best. The only other way to do it is to plug in using the dock connector through digital means. Unless there is a special converter for the JVC system you have, the RCA is the best.

Excellent...thats the type of thing I was looking for. That will provide stereo sound as opposed to mono, correcT?

yes it will. The conventional way discussed before with the rca adapter cable that would plug into the top of your iPod would also provide stereo sound.

then how does this provide better quality sound?? I already have a Y cable that has RCA on one side and a headphone connector on the other.

It will be the same. All that dock connector cable will do is convert the digital output to rca. It is the same thing. You can only push so much quality through an rca cable.

Alright cool...I appreciate it man. I'm just gonna stick with the $4 Y cable then.

The only real advantage to that dock connector cable is that it might stay in there a little better, but that is not that big of an advantage.
