I have the yamaha htr5740 reciever which is used to watch 5.1 movies....Either way, can I connect my source ( creative zen vision) to my reciever and then connect my headphones to my reciever? Will my reciever act as an amplifer or it will do nothing but waste my time?

I think i need a mini to RCa plug to connect my creative player and audio reciever.

I've got the same receiver.

Best thing to do would be to use the line out from the ZVM dock, hook it up using a 1/8" to RCA cable to the front AV-AUX-input, then plug your headphones into the headphone out.

The receiver will act as a headphone amp. Whether the headphone amp circuit in the receiver is any good, that is what determines whether its a waste of time or not.

well since you have the same reciever....how the amp in the reciever??

on another note how you like the sound quality when watching movies with it?

I cannot say for sure as I have just started experimenting with my receiver as an amplifier but I would think if you used the line out on your receiver (I think all receivers have a RCA out). Using a RCA to mini cable you can connect your headphone to the RCA out should be better than using the headphone out jack.

For the input, you should be able to connect this to the AUX in or other inputs using the mini-to-RCA cable you listed above.

Depending on your headphone connector size (1/8 or 1/4) you may need a mini-1/4 adapter also.

The mini is to plug it in the reciever right? I have that. thanks
