Is there any leads avaliable that allow you to connect a zen micro to my hi-fi ?(im in the uk)

Ive had a look around and cant see anything

is there such a thing as headphone out to optical in ?

thanx

The is no line out (optical) on the Zen Micro. The only thing is the headphone out. You’ll have to use that to connect to your stereo. You generally need a “Y” adaptor that looks like this:

Connect the single plug to your Zen Micro headphone jack and the L/R to the AUX of your stereo receiver and you should be all set. Even though it’s not a line out, the sound should still be good.

In my experience, you have to turn up the volume *a lot* to hear anything at decent volume when going from the headphone out into a line in. YMMV, of course.

Sorry for the topic dredge but are there any devices to compensate for the headphone out to a line in? I too want to connect my Zen to my Denon receiver..

Are my only options a Y adapter?

Run it at about 90-95% volume on the Zen - it should sound fine with a y adaptor.

Thats how I do it. Sounds great though a decent HiFi or stereo. Try an iPod though the same route and you hear a big difference. Obviously you'd use the line out on an iPod...
