So the wife has bought me an Ipod touch (Brun - previously allergic to all things touch screen) i have a LG 5.1 home cinema thingy, would i be able to play my music through it? I've tried plugging into the usb port on the LG but it doesn't pick up the Ipod up?

I connect mine through the 3.5mm jack to the same on my Panny. Works a treat.

Cheaper probably available on eBay, MacWarehouse etc.

Or add an Apple TV to play wirelessly through Wi-Fi using Airplay.

Pimp it with an Airport Express.

Looks good Jack but was wanting a cheap option.
Corradoboy, what exactly am i looking at in that link?

Brun

I'll have to have a look at the 3.5 jack option

Brun

....found a 3.5 jack to rca cable which i plugged into the L+R input on the back of the surround sound thingy. I assume that i could buy a cheapish ipod dock and connect this to the surround sound thingy the same way and then i could have remote control

You should be able to send video too √

I have one of these http://www.logic3.com/universal-pro-...od-iphone.html for my iphone, works a treat and charges the phone at the same time.

I really like that. Am i right in assuming that it can put a picture up on the tv screen so you can see what you are doing with the remote on the Ipod? Does that make sense?

I have it set up so that the iphone is receiving via wi-fi from my home router (so you can stream internet radio etc.), the Logic 3 unit is connected to both my Plasma and home cinema surround audio. The remote unit with the Logic 3 controls the ipod/iphone to search, play or pause tracks etc. You can also play films, or youtube direct from the ipod/iphone on the TV. You don't get a display on the TV for what the remote is doing but you can see on the ipod screen what is happening.

Sounds good - Just looking at the next one up with the lcd screen on the remote so i don't have to sit too close to the dock to see whats going on

That looks pretty cool, didn't have that available when I bought my dock.
