rundrave 985 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I want to connect my iPhone to an old home theater receiver in my garage I am sure there is lots of ways to do this just trying to think of what would be best. I have an iPhone with no headphone jack. Not a problem I currently put it on a dock with a speaker. That dock has a 3.5mm out that I should be able to convert into something that would work as an input to the receiver? Here is the back of the receiver, its an old ONKYO that I had set up as a home theater many years ago. Its been collecting dust in the basement and I still have all of the speakers so I thought, hey I could really jam out in the man cave with some good speakers if I can get everything hooked up correctly I could go 3.5mm to rca (red and white) and I think that would get me stereo and not mono? Or could I go 3.5mm to digital optical or 3.5mm to coaxial? See all my options circled in red below? Link to post Share on other sites
rundrave 985 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 ok I got it figured out, not sure its the best solution but it works. I thought the 3.5mm jack on the jbl speaker was an output, but its an input so completely scrapped that. I was hoping to go that route so it would charge my phone at the same time. So instead I opted for this option instead: It works and I have left and right stereo and its not mono. It sounds ok but I may splurge for a 3.5mm to digital input cable and see if its worth it.
