I see only RCA inputs; how could I use this with IPOD or portable CD player output with clean sound without noise from my device? Thanks !

Use high quality shielded audio cables in general. Search for an IPOD to RCA cable, and get one that is good and well review. Short cables are better then longer cables, the longer the cable, the more noise they pick up, because wires act like an antenna.

This cable will do the trick:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004YEBK66/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1417900565&sr;=8-1π=AC_SY200_QL40

I'm using it on the line/headphone output of my laptop, feeding some pretty revealing speakers, and it sounds great. It is what it is - an analog input power amplifier that's very small and very powerful!

This or any similar/cheaper cable would do it. Mediabridge 3.5mm Male to 2-Male RCA Adapter (6 Feet) - Step Down Design - (Part# MPC-35-2XRCA-6 )

Some CD players also have a digital coax output and this unit can accept this input (better sound than RCA). So, yes.

There are RCA inputs on the back of the unit. You would just need a male RCA to male 3.5 mm audio cable.

I didn't see any ouptput audio options so I contacted the company and they said the only output is HDMI. To get a separate audio out J-Tech recommended I purchase this unit plus an "Audio extractor" which takes HDMI in and outputs HDMI plus SPDIF/RCA Stereo.

it comes with rca to 3.5mm convertor....so u can connect any device which gives 3.5mm output

It does not have RCA inputs, but you can easily make up an adapter that can use XLR or 1/4" cable for your iPod. It will work with your speakers. I see a lot of bad reviews of this amp, but I am a mobile DJ and I have pushed this amp to it's limits and it still lives. So for me, the Pyle Pro PTA1400 is a steal at that price point.

I ran my outputs through a radio shack 4 line microphone mixer (so I could mix in music from my iPod) and then from the mixer to my receiver. The mixer has volume controls to increase the signal to the receiver. I have had no problem with that setup other than having to avoid too much volume. I assume a preamp would work if you don't want to use a mixer. Hope this helps.

the only digital input is USB, with an asynchronous DAC, that works really nice...Thing is that USB ports on most computers are really bad in noise and power fluctuations... sooo.. solution is the Wyrd USB decrapifier, from Schiit.. works wonders.. personally owned and intensively tested and compared with CD player level of sound fidelity (in fact sounds fantastic)As for the DVD coax, or sorts, you can use receiver's analog RCA inputs without any fear, they are excellent and I bet you will never feel a difference from coax, optical, HDMI, or anything else...

It has two sets of RCA jacks in the back. I did not need to use the inputs so I cannot vouch for them. I also cannot go and look, because when I finished "digitizing" my cassettes I donated the item to a local thrift store. I would suggest, if you are converting from CD to tape, you might want a better, and alas, more expensive piece of equipment.

I have RCA wires connecting from the back of the turntable into AuidoEngine A5 external speakers....but the external speakers have no sound coming out of them....any ideas as to why? I wouldn't think I need a phono preamp...

I plug my ipod in with a 3.5mm cable all the time. You can also plug in external speakers through RCA stereo plug ins. Older versions of this couldn't do that (my friend has the older version)

There is a simple single RCA sound output. You could put a splitter on it. The input is a standard headphone style plug. We used an old cellphone with a music app. The input volume is critical. Without an amplified input signal, the music was very quiet. There are 6 outputs. We fried one unit right away with a floodlight that shorted out. We returned it, and the second unit shorted out a channel so it just stayed on all the time.

Using the "Aux In" RCA jacks in the back of the unit, you can hook up a cd player/changer OR an iPad (using a special cable)...there is a USB port in the back of the unit as well; however the manual states "play music from USB flash drive...". I have not tried to plug in my iPod and play through the unit, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hope that helps.

If you play only cd's or mp3's all you need is a receiver, two speakers, speaker cables and an ipod. If you don't use mp3's you don't even need the ipod. If you want a little more punch to your sound you could add a power amp and surround sound, but those are definitely not necessary.

either. I plugged it into the headphone jack on my portable cd player and also thru my HDTV audio output (red & white jack) using an adapter cable that comes with it. Just can't seem to get it to work with my IPOD!!!!

You can connect it with the 3.5mm RCA cables, but the sound quality is poor, at least on mine, I have an IPod that I connect via USB, the sound quality is much much better. Hope this helps.

I don't think this will work. From my experience, both the headphone jack and the RCA jacks act as the same output.
