    Best bet is to go directly from the iPod headphone jack to one of the inputs on the receiver via a Y cable splitter...1-Mini Plug/2-RCA Plugs. NOT necessarily the one pictured here...but this is an example:

    shack's got it. They can be had at most stores and cost as little as a few dollars to Monster's $30.

    I've gotten best sound out using Apple's cables (Marware also makes excellent ones) prices similar (cheaper than Monster). I've never been able to find good quality standard mini plug/RCA cables (most come with miserable insulation)

    Couple other notes:
    * You need to turn the sound on your iPod way up...
    * Some docks only work with Apple/Marware type cables (be sure to get correct type for your dock, others only work with mini plug/RCA type. Be sure to check your docks' manual.
    *Lastly, you didn't mention what model iPod you have - I understand the latest version (Classic) uses a different dock, and video out has changed to component. Don't know if this affects functioning or cabling of audio.
    LR Setup:
    Polk RTi10's, RTi6's, CSiA6 (5 ch setup)
    Onkyo 705 & Denon 3808ci Receiver, Onk 875
    Parasound 2250 Amp
    Sony 26" KDL series Bravia LCD
    Panny DMR-EH75 Recorder
    Panny DVD-F87 (5 disk DVD player)
    NAD T585 (DVD/SACD)
    Yamaha DVD-C961 (5 disk SACD/DVD)
    SciAnt Explorer 8500HD Cable Box
    Orig & 5Gen iPods, , Wii
    Plans/Fantasies:
    • 400 disk player that handles ALL formats, sounds as good as NAD with Panasonic interface & compatability.

    Or, if possible, get one of the docking cradles that has RCA outputs on it. A little more expensive but I've heard from various people that they sound better coming off that plug versus the 1/8" (or smaller) jack. I don't know since I don't own one so, YMMV.
