Can you use the USB port on the front to link to a computer, so I can listen to music from my computer on my stereo system?

Is there any confirmation that the USB port can link to a computer or media player (NMT)?

The front USB port only recognizes thumb drive type devices, and the Apple family of devices. Plugging anything else into the front USB port, including Android units, earns a "Not Recognized".

Directly from the CD6005 manual:* USB memory devices will not work via a USB hub.* It is not possible to use this unit by connecting the unit's USB port to a PC via a USB cable.* Do not use an extension cable when connecting a USB memory device. This may cause radio interference with other The Marantz SA8005 can connect directly to a PC via the rear B USB port and it also has inputs for optical and coaxial digital. I have the SA8005 and works great as a DAC for those functions.

Can't answer directly, but it works to listen to music through an IPhone. I don't think it would be any different for a computer

No, if you get the right cable, you can plug it into your computer input or into your stereo. Should work just fine, and the cables are cheap.

nope. the aux would not feed back through the usb. I believe your stereo might even get fried if you tried it. This adapter allows you to use your phone headset in a computer that has no aux out by converting usb to aux out.

Yes! Use the USB connection to hook up to your computer, and connect a set of powered speakers to the RCA outputs on back of unit.

Just plug in your corresponding USB to the female port on the front. Go to the main hub and make sure the music section is clicked on

Hi Jane,The USB option is really meant for computer-to-device communication. You could use the output jack, which is used for headphones for your car, and maybe buy an adapter for it.

Probably not from the USB, but you should be able to line it in through the headphone jack, using a line in cord or a tape adapter, and it should play fine through the car stereo. the built in speaker should effect that.

You should be able to connect the Stereo-Out (headphone) from the computer/laptop to the Aux-In. Not sure of your entire setup, but personally I think this unit will be an overkill as computer speakers.

The USB port on this system is for output recording and it's not very good. You can't crank the system up enough to get a decent volume on the output. You could plug an I-Pod into the stereo input with a 1/8 inch plug.

It looks like you should be able to. There are audio "in" jacks (1red & 1 white) on the back of the unit. There are also a couple of USB ports on the front of the unit but I don't know if turntables are using them now. It is a nice system with lots of power, I like mine!

Yes. It connects to a PC via USB on one end, and for output has both a 3.5mm audio jack and a stereo RCA connection. You should be able to connect the RCA to your stereo amp.

The USB port is only for charging. You need bluetooth or 3.5mm audio port in order to play your music.

only if your home stereo system has an Aux input or output, doubt it though as most home stereo system either require bare cables or a receiver, it will connect your computer to another speaker source that uses 3.5mm aux connection

There should be no reason why that cannot be accomplished. If you've never attached anything to your USB port, your computer will acknowledge that and d/l software, if needed, for that specific device. I am sure you've heard of........plug-n-play? That is what should happen. As long as you have a sound card to deliver it and drivers to make them hand-shake.....no worries.

If you connect to a computer thru an usb port and have speakers on the computer you can listen to the input source such as a Turntable or tape deck.

Yes, I believe you can as the cassette player works well from the USB port of my desktop.

You can, but you need a cable with red and white RCA component plugs on one end and a 3.5mm audio plug on the other. Using one of those cables, you could connect it to the "PC" connector on the front of the stereo.
