Connecting ipod to stereo

Yas786 · 19 Mar 2012 at 16:20

Hi guys,

I have an old sony micro system which has a cd adn mini disc player...anyhow on the back i have a TAPE IN input. Would i be correct in thinking that using a 3.5mm jack to rca plusg would do the job?? ie connect my ipod with the 3.5mm jack and plug the rca plugs into the tape in input??.

Just a bit concerned if i will cause any long term damage to the speakers or the ipod itself ie dont want that buzzing noise you get sometimes if you incorrectly connect equipment up.

TIA

yup, that would work. do it when everything is turned off to avoid the buzzing. its just an input RCA.

my ipod has a charger with a connection to regular phono jacks and i connect it into my hifi that way and regular phono jacks can have reducers to 3.5 mm so id say yup no probs
