can you use your own speakers and play music from ipad

No the speakers need their own power source for it to work when it is docked.

This is a charging dock, connected to a wall charger or your computer. Music would be played via bluetooth or connected to a speaker through the headphone jack.

Only an iPad and nothing else? No. You'll need an amplifier connected to the speakers. Connect to the amp via a cord (just like an iPod) or wirelessly (via something like Sonos-still needs to be wired to the speakers). Or go via a bluetooth enabled amp (again needs to be wired to the speakers). I connect my iPad via Airplay linked to an Apple TV that is plugged into an amp that is connected to these speakers. Good luck!

yes, the bluetooth is in a different input, you can play music from your iphone or any device that has bluetooth connectivity

Yes, but it appears it may depend on your music source. The speakers has a "Party" mode which allows two or more speakers to play the same music from the same source. You are able to name your speakers (I have 3 speakers labeled "Downstairs", "Bedroom", and "Living Room"), and while playing music from iTunes I can play any combination of speakers. I not been as successful with another music source, e.i., "Slacker". Oh, you may also play different music on each speaker.

Yes. You can use your iPod or iPhone to select/control the music; OR you can do it through the radio; OR with the included remote.

Yes but from the iPad not the unit itself, this unit just lets u control the software off the iPad to make mixing easier. I have it hooked up to a receiver with speakers.. But I also use a battery operated speaker for on the go mixing..

This device allows you to us the Pioneer remote App with your Ipod, Ipad, Iphone etc. You can use any type of speakers you like, this device does not change the quality of sound from your speakers.

Yes, as long as your songs have been downloaded to your phone, you can listen to your own personal iTunes library, playlists, etc. This is the main reason I purchased it. Not a fan of radio stations when I can hear my own

It's just a speaker. It will play whatever your device sends to it thru AirPlay or when docked.

I used my ipad 2 to play the songs using bluetooth. ipad should be closer to the soundbar like within 2m I guess, use the bluetooth.

Have not used that feature yet as I bought the pair to use when catching up on Masterpiece Theater & HBO. If you call the iHome company they are very helpful. I assume you have already mated the speakers to your iPad, perhaps you must also mate your iPhone to the iHome also, then push the button on the far right. My first speakers went dead but Amazon replaced them and I have not had any more problems. They are excellent for the price. Good luck.

You can hook up the transmitter to the back of you receiver (to an audio output) OR you can plug your iPad directly in to the speaker.

Not really.. Your iphone can work as speakers. I have never attached any speakers to these.. I have never used it though.. My daughter uses it with her iphone and ipad.

This speaker works with any device that accepts a 3.5 mm jack,which is the standard size jack used in earphones,headphones,microphones, etc.. However,it won't improve on the sound quality of your ipad speakers.This speaker will increase the volume of your ipod,but it won't make it sound better.

I use an Ipod with it, and it is both cheaper and superior to the Bose. It also works with an iPhone, but I am not sure about an iPad. I love it. You can learn more here http://www.crutchfield.com/S-OStIJj8LLIt/p_107ISONIC3/Polk-Audio-I-Sonic-Digital-Audio-System.html

just by itself you can not, nut if you have an ampli or a dock for the ipad/phone i am pretty sure it plays just fine. I have these speakers connected to an amplifier with 5 other speakers so it is a great addition to my 7.1 home theater system. you have to use a classic speaker cord so you will have to spend anywhere between 40 - 120 for a converter.
