Touch Audio and Home Theater System

[IanPhillips1]

Wow, that is the cheapest bluetooth receiver I have ever seen. $10 bucks I will give it a shot!! , and i have looked. Never thought to look on the sprint site as I am a VZW user. I currently use a monster cable RCA/3.5 adapter with the stock usb splitter, and leave my selection to shuffle.

Is that the same as A2DP? Both the Touch AND the FIPO are A2DP capable so why no sound? Anybody got any ideas?

I was thinking, when you are paired, do you get the little headset in the title bar next to the Ev icon?

Yep I sure do. but for some reason I get no sound thru my stereo.

I'm trying with my Sony Bravia system and I get the same results. Units pair just fine and music instantly stops playing through the speaker but I get nothing through my system.

I finally got a US number for technical support at Anycom and spent at least 45 minutes trying to get them to understand what I was trying to do. While they were pleasant enough, I was/am a little concerned that they understood. He could only offer that if my dock was not A2DP capable then I would not hear any sound through my receiver. I suggested that isn't that what the FIPO is, an A2DP receiver that converts an A2DP signal to an ipod connector? After much back and forth, he took my info and said he would forward to 2nd level tech support.

I think if others with the same issue were to call or email they may be motivated to respond more quickly than to one call. Here is their US contact info:

I was looking at my home theater documentation and found that my Dock is NOT compatible with generation 3 ipod. I have no idea what that is but it iis possible that the connector used in the FIPO is 3rd generation. So far that is the only possible issue i've found on my end. I will wait for a response from Anycom (see above post).

Hmm...Here's the specs for my HT unit:

Digital Media Port Adapter

Digital Media Port iPod Adapter: The Sony TDM-iP10 Digital Media Port adapter for iPod lets you enjoy iPod audio content through the Sony Bravia Home Theater System.
iPod Compatibility: The TDM-iP10 comes supplied with five iPod adapter inserts which allows the unit to support the following models of iPod.

• iPod touch (1st/2nd generation)
• iPod nano (1st/2nd/3rd/4th generation)
• iPod classic (80/120/160GB)
• iPod video (5th generation)
• iPod photo (4th generation)
• iPod mini (1st/2nd generation)

Note: Make sure your iPod is update to latest firmware version. The Digital Media Port adapter for iPod does support video or photo playback. The TDM-iP10 is not compatible with the iPhone or iPhone 3G. The TDM-iP10 does not support charging of the iPod nano (4th generation) or iPod touch (2nd generation).

Connections: The Sony TDM-iP10 features an Apple dock connector for connection of your iPod. The TDM-iP10 Digital Media Port iPod adapter connects to the Digital Media Port (DMPORT) of the DAV-HDX279W, which is located on the rear panel of the amplifier, via its attached 38" proprietary cable. This cable supplies audio and control from your iPod to the DAV-HDX279W.
iPod Controls: You can operate your iPod by its own control buttons, the control buttons of the DAV-HDX279W, or the Sony Bravia Home Theater System's IR wireless remote control.
Battery Charger: The TDM-iP10 will charge your iPod while the unit is docked.

Hopefully it will end up being compatible. I'm really looking forward to using this feature.

So it seems that your ipod dock specs are the same as the specs on my Onkyo S5100 with the exception of 3rd generation compatibility.

Separately, I took my FIPO with me to BJ's warehouse and plugged it into an iHome clock radio unit with an ipod dock and sure enough it worked and worked very well. So, there must be some design or technical reason why the FIPO is not talking to the home theater docks.

Hopefully I will hear something soon.
