is it possible to connect an ipod through the usb input to play music?

No. The USB input on the back of the dock is for "System updates" to JBL dock itself. If you were wondering about some workaround for the lacking Thunderbolt peripheral, you can find cheap, aftermarket adapters to convert the orig. 30-pin to the 8-pin adapter. An Apple OEM version costs about $25-30 though.

There is an audio input on the rear of this device. It looks to be about the size of a 3.5 mm plug, so I'm thinking you could input an ipod. Don't know what the quality of the sound would be, but it should be OK.

Never tried this connection. Only used aux input (mini phono) and standard Apple connector from iPod.

You can use the iPhone's Bluetooth with the sound bar. I haven't tried using the USB input with my iPod.

Yes you are correct there is a USB input. The following is a list of compatible devices for the IDO:CompatibilityiPod touch (5th generation with Lightning connector)iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation)iPod classic (6th generation, from 2009)iPod nano (6th generation)iPhone 5 (with Lightning connector)iPhone 4iPhone 3GSiPhone 3GiPad (3rd generation, known as "new iPad")iPad 2iPadiPad mini

Not directly. You would have to purchase an iPhone 30 pin to Lightning connector for it to work. It would then allow you to connect and play music, pod casts, Pandora, etc. But it won't let you charge.

Yes it can. If you have an RCA to 3.5mm audio jack, you can do it flawlessly. Its even easier if your iPod is equipped with Bluetooth.

Sure. Connect with any bluetooth. All sounds generated by the iPod should play.

You can stream music from your computer, but not through the USB port. I have an ethernet cable plugged into the unit, and I can stream music through iTunes to the unit. "Airplay," which is iTunes' streaming protocol, is one of the sources on the unit (just like Tuner or CD or Phono). You can also put music on a USB stick and plug it directly into the unit.

I have used several Flash based music systems via the USB port and they worked fine - not sure if Apple is supported though.

You can to the computer. Try the USB input on the stereo and select "iPod/iPhone input".

I have not tried that as I only use my iphone via Bluetooth but on the side there is a USB port so I don't see why you couldn't connect an iPad, iPod or even a computer to it.

Yes you can. Your iPod Hi-Fi has a digital/analog audio input port. You connect the PURE i_20 using an audio cable with a standard 3.5 mm stereo miniplug or for higher sound quality, you can connect a S/PDIF optical digital audio cable with a Mini-Toslink connector. Hope this helps. How do I switch playback from an iPod to a device connected to the audio input port? If you have an iPod connected to the dock connector port and a different audio device connected to the audio input port you can select between the playback of these two devices by pressing and holding the Menu button on the remote.

You can plug an iPod into anything. Features and price will vary; a good $10 cable from radioshack will connect any iPod to any rca inputs.

I've used mine with my creative mp3 players and my computer - haven't got an ipod so can't try that

As long as the iPod had bluetooth you are good to go. If not, then you would have to use a stereo cable to plug into the aux input.

Glenn ours is in a second home in the UK so I can't simply look but from memory it has it's own special scheme in which to hook up an iPod, certainly it doesn't have a USB input but maybe a dock. Hmmm, have a look at it's owners manual online, I found it easily once. Good Luck

Daniel, are you asking if you could power a device through the USB to the play music through the AUX input?

There isn't a dock or usb for the ipod, but I assume if you bluetooth or connect it with a stereo cable it should be fine. I personally don't use an ipod for this. Hope I was of some help.
