You won't hurt anything by trying it out. Just try plugging stuff in as the article explains and I can't think of any real reason why it won't work. Hi Devaney, I see no reason why it won’t work.

I have a fairly new Toshiba, but a 30-yr old Philips receiver. Is it possible to use the Philips? I've read your article very carefully, but I'm a very "beginner" tech person. Can you help me?

I don't know what to suggest. I might be sending you down the wrong path, but I had weird noises when I plugged my phone into my car. I needed to put in a ground loop osolator. They are around $20. It worked perfectly for me. I am just not sure if you are experiencing the same problem I was. Hi Pat, No wonder it is causing you greif if most devices are working fine.

But the issue I'm having is there's a rumble (reminds me of the rumble you used to get when your turntable wasn't grounded to your amp). I do not get this rumble when I plug my computer speakers in to the sound card line out jack or when I use the headphone jack for headphones. But the second I run it through the amp there it is. No other device I've run through this amp produces this effect and it doesn't happen if I jack into my portable MP3 player using the same 3.5" to RCA Cable. Thinking old school, could this be some kind of grounding issue? Any suggestions?

I've been trying to connect my iLive 2.1-Channel Speaker Bar, which hooks up to my ipod and does the radio, to my computer. and I've been kinda stumped. wondered if you had any advice for this particular device, or, would it be the same deal as with your how to stuff above?
