I bought a Sony STR-E597 6.1 channel audio receiver from somebody for $50. The receiver is great, and even though it's an older unit, it works perfectly for what I need it for. I have a JVC MX-KC38 iPod stereo system, which is only a 2-channel and has a 3.5mm Audio In port for auxiliary inputs.
I use my JVC stereo as my "main" unit because it has an iPod dock and I use an adapter to connect the audio from my PS3. Right now I have everything set up so the JVC speakers are on my computer desk. I can simply run a cable from the headphone jack of my computer to the audio in jack to my JVC stereo and use it for sound. And if I want to watch TV, I simply connect the Y-cable to the headphone jack of my JVC stereo into the Sony receiver. I have two surround channels, two tower speakers and two bookshelf speakers connected to the receiver (I use the bookshelf speakers most of the time for sound and sometimes I turn the tower speakers on for extra bass, or set the receiver to 2-channel stereo mode for the towers if I want to crank it up loud).
Everything is set up in my bedroom but I will be getting my own place soon and I want to use my JVC stereo for my computer, which will be set up in a different room than my TV, and I want to purchase a replacement remote for the audio receiver (I use the JVC stereo mainly because I have a remote for it and it has an iPod dock).
Anyway, is there an iPod dock that's compatible with my audio receiver? I use my iPod Touch a lot to listen to music and to listen to internet radio. I know there probably isn't an iPod dock available specifically for my audio receiver, but I'm looking for something that I can control with a remote, so I don't have to actually get up and change the song/station that's playing every single time.
What do you think I should get?
