Can I connect this docking station into a Home Theater receiver which doesn't use powered speakers like a PC system does? I would really like to use my Home Theater speakers and amp/receiver (Yamaha RX-V663) system to play the MP3's on my Sansa e280, if possible.

I was looking for the same info and seems like we should be able to connect it with RCA cables to the receiver as per this review in epinions.http://www10.epinions.com/review/SanDisk_SANSA_E200_C200_DOCKING_BASE_STATION_CHARGER_SDAMX_BST_A75/content_443124518532

I believe you would need a headphone jack. I did not see a USB port on our unit.To be certain, however, you can contact Yamaha about it.

No there is not, it only has Audio in via 3.5mm jack, for like your computer, or a non IPOD type docking system style.I think the intention behind this powerful system was that you want to use it for everything because who wants quiet? haha

The speaker dock works with all M series and E series Sandisk MP3 players. A friend had a Creative MP3 player. The USB connection next to the earphone jack hole was reversed on the Creative player and therefore could not be hooked up to the speaker dock.

I just ordered it for my Sansa Fuse, and I believe that it does work with other players, but now I'm not sure :)I'll reply on here when the speakers arrive... what type of player do you have?

Could you use the AV Cables that are in the back to hook it up to a portable sound dock? I just purchased one of these off ebay and was either going to get a Red/White Audio spitter to a 3.5mm Coaxial that way I can run it through my portable Bose Sound Dock to enhance the sound (http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Stereo-3-5mm-AUD-1200-25/dp/B0016LTZFI/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514406&sr=1-11) or if that audio channel is dedicated to the Svideo Input, You could buy a Digital to analog converter (http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Audio-Analog-Converter/dp/B0013LWK3A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514478&sr=1-1) and then use a Toslink cable from the MM72 to the Converter and then the RCA cables to whatever you choose. lol Sorry its what I am going to do.

The receiver cannot be controlled using a dock's remote. At least it doesn't work for me using a Bose SoundDock, it is probably the same with all docks. The unit doesn't seem to have anything that will detect a remote's command. I hope this helps answer your question!

I tested with a yamaha dock YDS-10 in a receiver and other ipod dock stations but all they use the analog imputs not digital and worked fine, hope it helps. Will be better if able to pair more than 1 device.

Yes, because of the USB capabilities, I believe this model has a pre-amp already installed in it. Some receivers have a pre-amp installed, if there is a "phono" input. Mine does not and I use the "CD" input. I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could connect the turntable directly to speakers and it would be fine.

It may be used either stand alone or in the E09/E09K dock/amplifier. I mostly use it docked as a DAC for the E09. I used Optical (mini-TOSLINK) from a MacBook Pro and USB from a Windows desktop. I have used it stand alone several times and it works well.

I'm not sure I sent back tried to blue tooth to headphones did not workI think its only to Bluetooth from phone or iPod to the docking station I guess it should work if you plug the receiver to your stereo if it has that iPod type connection Not sue if that helped

I also have a Sansa media player, and it worked fine, for about one year. Then, the touchpads failed to work and I had to throw it out. I called Altec Lansing and they said there was nothing they would do to reconcile this and I couldn't send it to them to fix. The sound is excellent, though. Good luck!

1. How does the dock connect to an AC outlet? There is an AC adapter that has a USB port. You plug the sync cable into the USB port and the other end into the dock. 2. How does the dock connect to a stereo? One end of the audio/visual cable is the yellow/red/white connectors and the other end of that cable is the 1/8" (headphone) connector that connects to the dock. It has four connectors to support video and audio. 3. Can I connect the dock to my stereo using a cable with 1/8" connectors on each end (rather than using the supplied audio/visual cable)? I don't know for sure but I suspect so. At worst, you can get an RCA to 1/8" adapter to put on the other end of the supplied cable. 4. When the Zune is in the dock, do I have to unplug the headphones to get sound through the dock? No, you can leave them in. However the buzz from the sound of them can be heard if you up the volume via the zune instead of the stereo. This is tempting to do because of the remote for the dock. The antenna for the FM radio is the headphones so you might need to leave them in to get remote stations. I don't like the buzz so I put in a 1/8" double-ended cable to act as the antenna when the Zune is docked because we listen to the radio a great deal. For us it is mostly docked, so this works for us. If we took it about, we'd probably just leave the headphones in.

Thanks for your question. This amazing sounding unit does not allow docking. We are in the process of correcting the text in the listing. This is a fantastic sounding DAC. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Teac dealer.

Wish I could help you. I bought the Bluetooth receiver to dock with my Sony mini hi-fi component system (MHC-EC609iP) product doesn't work with this system. It powers up and let's me connect via Bluetooth but the Sony keeps requesting that I dock my iPod touch, of course that can't happen, the Bluetooth receiver is docked there. Dumb stereo design by Sony? I plan to bring both my iPod & BT receiver with me when I shop for a different stereo so that way I can make sure it works. Hope this is helpful to anyone out there.

That is how I have it set up, worked fine until recently when a large amount of started being produced from one of the speakers- seems to be failing. I have not used the iPod docking station it comes with.

I have that set up on my deck. However, you need a couple of additional components. I used a Bluetooth audio receiver (HomeSpot NFC-Enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver for Sound System) and a terrific little Lepai amp (LP-2020A+ Lepai Tripath Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Mini Amplifier with Power Supply). I got all the components from Amazon and it sounds great for a relatively small cost. Hope that helps.
