I have a Pioneer VSX-819H receiver. It has a USB input, and is iPod certified. I guess that is a fancy way of saying that if you connect an iPod to it via USB, you get tunes, and an on screen display to control the tunes, with your Pioneer remote. I use a Logitech remote anyway, but that is not my question!
I have an incoming used Mac Mini (G4, running 10.5 Leopard), and have to wonder - has anyone found a way to directly connect a mini and an AV Receiver?
I have played around with a lot of AV in the past, but never tried a media center, and am considering using the Mini as one.
Will use an App to let my iTouch control the Mini, and use a DVI-HDMI connector to feed video from mini to Pioneer to Panasonic Plasma.
Should be fun, but not loving the idea of using the 1/8th audio output of the Mini for that HT install.
Thanks,
