Is this what I need? I have the Zen Vision:M and we are using it as our dj for our wedding in May. To do so, we'll need to plug the mp3 player to the reception hall's entertainment system....is this the cord we need to do so? All I have is the mp3 player--I don't have any other accessories yet. If any of you know if this cord will allow us to play the songs through the sound system, please let me know!!! :)Thanks Is this what I need?

This is incorrect. You must buy the Creative AV cable for the video to display and the audio to be in stereo. I know this because I just returned the RCA cable w/mini jack I purchased two days ago from Radio Shack. The only way we could get it to work is to not insert the mini jack completely into the jack and then we had to switch the audio and video cable connections. This made the video display, but the audio was in mono. This has all been throughly documented on many Creative forums; however, we thought we'd try anyway. Didn't work!Save your self the trouble and buy this cable. This is incorrect. You must buy the Creative AV cable for the video to display and the audio to be in stereo.

There's no need to go to so much trouble. You can get a regular headphone jack to dual RCA cable at any radio shack or walgreens for a few bucks, plug it into the headphone output on the player, and plug the RCA connectors into the inputs on the dj's equipment. chances are, the DJ already has a handful of those cables anyway, just ask him.

You will need a connector cable between your iPod/mp3 and the radio itself. In my experience with this product, the port on the radio is poorly placed such that if you are using the LXT battery it may be hard to find a connector cable which allows you to plug your mp3 player into the port, since the battery blocks access to much of the area around the port. I was able to find a connector cable with a right-angle plug that did the trick, but it was not a simple task to find such a cable. Clearly on the next generation of the device, Makita needs to redesign access to the port so that this is not a problem. You will need a connector cable between your iPod/mp3 and the radio itself.

Actually, you need nothing else. I would; however, recommend buying one or more of the q chord cartridges that give you rhythym sounds for a variety of genres of music. I hope you will enjoy your q chord as much as I have mine!

Mr. Totten is correct. You need head phones or if you could buy iHome portable speakers. When they are charged via USB adapter you can have a light show while listening to you favorite CD's or radio station. Frankly, I like the Skull Candy Headphones. I have a white pair and the sound quite nice. OH, you can buy the iHome speakers at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

I think you're getting a bit too excited. All electronic products phase out for the new.The product is good in all ways. As far as accessories, it comes with an AC adapter. I got a case for it at a sound store for around $5 that works well. I bought some Sony earbuds that blow away the ones that come with it. I also bought a VRFM8 from Walmart that is an FM transmitter, to play the Zen to your car radio.The only thing I can imagine that is left is a car charger. (I just bought one on Ebay for $8. I think that's everything.) Plus, it doubles as an external hard drive for backups and such. I'm a happy camper with it. I think you're getting a bit too excited.

Does anybody know if SXT will work with Creative Zen Vision:M player? I'm looking for a good speaker for my Vision which should also charge it.

Hi Leonel,I'm honestly not sure, but I would assume it would just be for charging. It does come with an auxiliary cord, so if your memory stick has a port for that, you should be able to play your music. I'll check it out as soon as I can, and will keep you posted.

You will need a cord that appears to have 2 headphone plugs (&#8539;" standard mini headphone size), one on each end. There is no cord on the headphones, but there is a headphone jack. If you get a 3-6' cord, you can use these with handheld video games, smartphones, tablets, etc. The headphones will also work with the cable plugged in, even if the batteries die! As another reviewer said, you can pick these up through Amazon or at Wal-Mart, and Amazon is probably your cheapest option. Those are the only places I'd look at, though, as the other stores I went to were extremely high, well over $10, and often $20. I think that's pretty high, when you can buy decent quality headphones for $15-20. The nice thing about the Farenheits is that the full earpiece design blocks a lot of outside noise. If you are asking about using them with a console video system (PS3-4, Xbox, etc.), you will have to connect that to your video/DVD system (there's a good chance there are inputs on the side or back of the unit), then the sound will play through the monitor just as it does while playing a movie, and the cords aren't needed.

In order to use this, you need a 9V battery. Put in the battery, plug in the audio plug into your audio jack. From there you will need to drop one of the small mini ear pieces into your ear drum. Thats it! From there the audio should be playing from the mini ear piece. If you need to take it out, the magnet (the larger metal piece) can be used to take it out of your ear drum. Hope this helps!

I play my Creative Zen MP3 player by attaching it to the aux input. I dislike Apple iPods and do not know if there is an adapter for the aux to enable an iPod but the Zen works great.

I believe all you need is a auxiliary cord. Same way you would hook up MP3 or iPod to other speakers that aren't bluetooth. That is how I hook up my MP3 player to it

I sent them an email: "I have one of these and it is a great PA system. I don't have it with me right now and don't see there is an online manual available, but have been asked it it has a jack for earbud or headphones. There is an "AUX OUT" jack, but I do not know if that is suitable for earbuds or headphones.Can you help me with this question?and got the following response from walter@kaitousa.com "Hi, Bob; Yes, it is good for earbud or headphones. Walter?

Dear Thelma, I must confess, my new Creative Zen is still in the box. My old Creative Zen was great for audio books and that is what I used it for. Great audio, great bookmarking. After 5 years it no longer was recognized by my computer so I purchased the new one, but haven't set it up yet. I borrow my books from the library, online. Ours has a great selection of e-audio books, so you don't have to pay to listen. Hope this helps.

If you can ask him that would be great just ordered this and am wondering if he used a media cable or a usb to rca cord. I ordered a few but see that some do not work. Don't wanna waste my money. :-) I have the ipod cord so maybe its the same one?

glad you asked that. you need too much. soo much i dont even know. I never got it working, had to stick with my original. Make sure you get one with a usb if its for garageband. Other than that you need a whole program.

You will need Abelton Live, but yes, you can use it in the live session. I make sounds in Logic and Garageband, export them into Live and then play with the samples there with the Launchpad.
