Not all USB-C ports are the same; while the connector shape is standardized, the underlying technology and capabilities (data speed, power delivery, video output) vary significantly between devices and cables, leading to potential confusion and performance differences. A USB-C port can support anything from USB 2.0 speeds to much higher speeds, along with power delivery (PD) for charging and video output (DisplayPort/HDMI), but not every USB-C port implements all features and not every cable supports all features. The best audio connection from a mobile phone to a receiver for high-fidelity sound is a wired USB-C to USB-B cable (using the receiver's DAC). High-quality USB-C to USB-B cables for audio are essential for connecting modern laptops (Mac/PC), tablets, or phones to DACs, audio interfaces, receivers, powered speakers and more.  USB 2.0 supports exceptionally high audio quality, capable of handling up to 32-bit/384kHz audio and DSD512 via the USB Audio Class 2.0 (UAC2) standard. With a 480Mbps bandwidth, it effortlessly manages high-resolution stereo or multi-channel audio without quality limitations. It is commonly used for high-end professional interfaces, as the bottleneck is rarely the USB speed itself. USB 2.0 is sufficient for high-quality audio transmission: USB 2.0 Audio Capabilities: Maximum Resolution: USB 2.0 with UAC2 supports up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD512. Bandwidth: 480Mbps (High Speed) allows for 40+ channels of 24-bit/96kHz audio simultaneously. Standards: USB Audio Class 1.0 (UAC1) is limited to 24-bit/96kHz. USB Audio Class 2.0 (UAC2) is needed for high-resolution audio (above 96kHz) and works with USB 2.0. Real-World Usage: Many professional audio interfaces from brands like RME use USB 2.0 because it provides enough bandwidth and lower latency than required for most, if not all, high-end audio applications. Audio Quality Impact: Digital data transmission over USB does not degrade audio quality; however, issues like jitter can occur if the USB device (DAC) is poorly implemented. USB 2.0 provides the maximum possible quality for stereo audio and is more than sufficient for high-fidelity audio up to 32-bit/384kHz USB-C Pins for Audio: Data+ (Dp1) / Data- (Dn1): Pins A6 and A7 are the primary differential pairs for USB 2.0 digital audio data.  VBUS & GND: Pins A4, A9, B4, B9 (VBUS) provide 5V power, while A1, A12, B1, B12 (GND) provide the ground return path. CC1/CC2 (A5/B5): Used to detect the device, negotiate power, and activate audio accessory modes. Analog Audio Mode: When in audio accessory mode, A6 becomes Analog Audio Left, A7 becomes Analog Audio Right, SBU1 (A8) is MIC, and SBU2 (B8) is AGND. USB-C to USB-B Cable (DAC Input): This is considered the best for audio quality because it bypasses the phone's lower-quality, built-in digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and uses the superior DAC in your receiver. 3.5mm to RCA Cable: A highly reliable, hardwired, and affordable option that provides great stereo sound quality, though it requires an adapter for modern phones without a headphone jack. High-Res Bluetooth Receiver (AptX HD/LDAC): For wireless convenience without sacrificing much audio quality, a dedicated Bluetooth adapter that supports high-resolution codecs is ideal. Wi-Fi/Streaming (Google Chromecast Audio or Apple AirPlay): Offers high-resolution, lossless, or better-than-Bluetooth quality by transmitting the audio data directly to the receiver over your home network. • iPhone headphones Stereo Hookup Bluetooth wireless Many people use Bluetooth for a wireless connection from mobile phone to stereo, headset or earbuds. It is nice to not have wires to deal with. Bluetooth became a standard feature in mobile phones around 2001-2003, however, the original iPhone (2007) which included Bluetooth 2.0, was very limited compared to modern devices. It was primarily designed to connect with a specific mono Bluetooth headset for phone calls. It did not support stereo audio streaming (A2DP) or file transfers. The iPhone 7 (and 7 Plus), released in 2016, was the first iPhone model to feature stereo playback through its built-in speakers. Stereo Bluetooth (A2DP): While the original iPhone did not support stereo Bluetooth, support for A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for stereo streaming to headphones/speakers was added via software updates, specifically with the iPhone 3GS in 2009. The iPhone 4 supported Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP) for wireless music. Most Android phones supported A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) bluetooth audio streaming by 2009, coinciding with the release of Android 1.5 (Cupcake). Bluetooth is a standard for short distance radio signals (2.4GHz) between devices in order to exchange information. Bluetooth wireless audio is offered on TV, soundbars, powered speakers, computers, headphones, stereo receivers, audio video receivers, car stereo and can be added to a device with adapters. Data can be sent from one mobile phone to another using wireless Bluetooth. How to play music from your mobile phone Although this method is wireless, try to stay within 30 feet of receiving device for best results. Turn "ON" Bluetooth on your phone. Turn "ON" Bluetooth on your computer, stereo or other receiving device. Windows Computer Windows needs an app to play music wirelessly from your phone. Windows 10 (version 2004 and later) and Windows 11 are the primary operating systems that can act as a Bluetooth audio receiver. Using the "Bluetooth Audio Receiver" app from the Microsoft Store, these systems can pair with phones or tablets to play audio through the PC's speakers via A2DP. Download the free "Bluetooth Audio Receiver" app from the Microsoft Store online and then install the app. • Bluetooth Audio Receiver app download Pair your phone with your computer. On the phone, Go to "Settings" > Bluetooth > Switch Bluetooth "On" Computer must have a Bluetooth receiver, either built-in like most laptops do, or added as an adapter such as a USB-A Bluetooth adapter. OS: Windows 10 version 19041.0 or later. On the computer, Go to "Settings" > Bluetooth Devices > Add device. A search of nearby devices should show your phone. Connect to your phone and then run the app "Bluetooth Audio Receiver".  No devices connected yet Next select your phone name in the app and click on "Open Connection" to connect.  Next, on your phone, select the Music folder and then select the file you want to play. Your phone plays the song and you hear the music on the computer's speakers or other receiving device. Adjust the volume on the phone and the device. The app "Bluetooth Audio Receiver" will remember previously connected devices. USB-C cable connection USB-C supports USB 2.0. USB-C is fully backward compatible with older protocols, including USB 2.0 (480 Mbps), by using specific pins (D+/D-) for data transfer. Many USB-C cables, especially charging-only or budget cables, are designed specifically for USB 2.0 speeds, while still providing the convenience of a reversible connector.  Samsung Galaxy USB-C port USB-C Headphones Almost all dedicated USB-C headphones and earbuds have a built-in Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) and amplifier (active headphones). Because USB-C ports on modern smartphones and laptops typically output digital audio signals rather than analog, the earphones and headphones must convert this signal internally using a DAC to produce the analog sound.  Apple iPhone17 USB-C port  The Apple iPhone USB-C to 3.5mm dongle and the Samsung equivalent are largely interchangeable , as both work on iPhones (15/16/17) and Samsung Galaxy devices, supporting audio and microphone controls. They are both active adapters with built-in digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Key differences between the two include: Volume: The Samsung adapter is generally louder than the Apple adapter when used with the same device. Compatibility: While both work on both platforms, the Apple dongle may have lower maximum volume on Android devices due to software limitations. Both are excellent, high-fidelity options, and using either brand will work perfectly fine for connecting wired headphones. Note: Some USB-C to 3.5mm adapters do not have the microphone input connection, only audio output while others have both audio output and microphone input. Samsung Galaxy phones (S20 series and later) do not have a built-in DAC (digital to analog converter) to convert audio for wired headphones via the USB-C port, as they lack a 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead, they require a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter dongle with a built-in DAC (digital-to-analog converter) to output analog audio, meaning the conversion happens in the adapter dongle (DAC chip), not in the phone itself as was the case in the past with 3.5mm headphone jacks on the phones. So, modern phones output a digital audio signal from the USB-C jack. No Analog Support: Samsung has removed analog audio support over USB-C, so passive adapter cables (no DAC chip) do not work; an "active" adapter cable (one with a DAC chip) is mandatory. Samsung sells a USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter cable that includes a DAC to convert digital signals to analog. Third-Party Options: Other USB-C DAC adapter dongles, such as those from FiiO, Meizu, or THX, are compatible and often provide better audio quality than the standard adapter. Exceptions: Some older, mid-range, or specific regional models might differ, but for flagship S-series, a DAC-enabled adapter is required. Note: Samsung Galaxy S model phones do have an internal Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to process audio for their internal speakers. While newer models (S20 onwards) lack a 3.5mm headphone jack, they still contain a, or several, internal DACs to convert digital signals into analog sound for the built-in stereo speakers. Samsung Galaxy S model phones have an internal Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to process audio for their speakers . While newer models (S20 onwards) lack a 3.5mm headphone jack, they still contain a, or several, internal DACs to convert digital signals into analog sound for the built-in stereo speakers Samsung Galaxy S model phones have an internal Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to process audio for their speakers. Every phone requires an internal DAC to produce sound from its internal speakers but not a DAC for external headphones or speakers. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter Dongle DACs USB-C cables are not all created equal. They can have different current and voltage ratings, support only USB 2.0 or up to USB 4, be eMarked or non-eMarked, passive or active, and support alternate modes. Not all USB-C cables are the same as far as the number of wires and pins used, making USB-C cables a bit confusing. Some USB-C cables are designed solely for charging, while others can handle both charging and data transfer. Most USB-C cables have an electronic marker chip embedded in the cable known as an eMark. eMarked cables can provide information about the cable's capabilities, including maximum power rating in the form of max voltage and current, speed, active pins, cable length, the cables Vendor ID, Product ID, and certification ID, and finally whether the cable supports any alternate modes such as Thunderbolt. A small USB tester device such as the FNB58 can read and display the information in the eMark chip. Non-eMarked cables do not provide the same level of performance and devices will have to assume a conservative rating for the cable. The standard conservative rating is a maximum of 20V at 3A (60W) with a maximum speed of USB 3.2 at 5Gbps. A full featured standard USB-C connector has 24 pins (12 on each side) to support reversible plugging, charging, and data, including digital audio. For analog audio, USB-C uses special modes, often requiring fewer pins (typically 6-16) depending on whether it has an active digital to analog converter or a simple passive cable. USB-C cables can also have specific requirements to support alternate modes like Thunderbolt. These modes allow for the transmission of high-quality video and audio signals, with support for video resolutions up to 8K. Devices can identify the type of cable they are connected to using Discover Identity, Discover SVID, and Discover Mode messages similar to how two devices identify their alt-mode capabilities. These messages provide information about the cable's capabilities. USB-C Audio Pinout Details: Total Pins: The physical receptacle has 24 pins, but many cables use fewer wires. Analog Audio (Audio Adapter Accessory Mode): Requires specific pins to route audio (e.g., A6, A7, A8) to bypass the digital to analog converter. Digital Audio (USB Audio Class): Uses the standard data pins (D+/D-, or 3.0/4.0 high-speed pairs) to send digital signals to an external DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). Mandatory Pins: Regardless of audio type, 4 ground and 4 power pins are generally required, along with configuration channel (CC) pins. For most audio applications (headphones, DACs), a standard USB-C cable with 16 to 24 pins is used.  USB Standards and Naming The letter (e.g., 'C' or 'A') denotes the shape of the port. C=oval while A=rectangular The number (e.g., USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB 4) denotes the data transfer speed. Power Delivery (PD) USB-C cables use a "handshake" process for power: the source (charger) looks for a resistor on the configuration channel of a C-to-C cable, which tells it a sink (device) is present and requesting power. For fast charging, the cable needs an E-marker chip inside. This chip communicates the cable's maximum power capacity, preventing melting or fire. Without an E-marker, a cable will only deliver the default low power (3 amps) E-marker, the cable will only deliver the default low power (3 amps). The latest Power Delivery 3.1 standard is required to charge high-power devices, jumping the maximum wattage from 100W to 240W. Data Speed (USB 4 and Thunderbolt) A cheap, charge-only USB-C cable may only have the two data wires of the old USB-A standard, resulting in "snail's pace" file transfers. A USB 4 cable supports up to 80 Gigabits per second (Gbps) data speeds. Thunderbolt 4 and 5 cables are described as newer, stricter implementations of the USB 4 standard. Finding the Ultimate USB-C Cable The fastest 80 Gbps/240W cables are currently limited to very short lengths due to physical constraints. The best solution is to purchase cables that are clearly labeled with their specific power (watts) and data speeds (Gbps) and are USB-IF certified from a trusted brand. IEM - In Ear Monitor There are five types that are commonly used in IEMs: dynamic, balanced armature, electrostatic, bone conduction, and planar magnetic. Modern Apple iPhones have a built-in DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) used for driving the internal speakers , but they lack a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack. For wired headphones, the DAC is usually integrated into the Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter or USB-C adapter rather than on the phone's motherboard, and the phone primarily transmits digital audio output. Internal Audio: The iPhone has a built-in DAC to drive its internal speakers. Wired Audio: When using Apple's 3.5mm headphone adapter, the DAC is located inside the adapter, which supports up to 24-bit/48kHz audio. Audio Quality: While adequate for most, the internal components are not high-fidelity, and external USB-C/Lightning DACs are required for higher-resolution audio (e.g., 24-bit/192kHz). Bluetooth: For wireless, the iPhone relies on the AAC codec, not the phone's internal DAC.  3.5mm analog stereo cable connection  Mobile phones used to have 3.5mm headphone ports. These have largely been replaced/removed. Apple officially removed the 3.5mm headphone jack with the launch of the iPhone 7 and "iPhone 7 Plus" in late 2016. Samsung began removing the 3.5mm jacks in 2019-2020. By 2020, most mobile phones used the USB-C ports only which are digital. You can use a USB-C (active) headphone or use an adapter dongle with a USB-C to 3.5mm female connection for analog headphones. The dongle adapter usually has a DAC built into the cable on the USB-C side to convert digital to analog. CTIA and OMTP are two different 3.5mm headset wiring standards.  Using the wrong headset causes muted audio or non-functional mics; adapters are required for compatibility.  CTIA (Cellular Telephone Industry Association): Currently the dominant, standard for modern devices. The CTIA (Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association) standard refers primarily to the 3.5mm TRRS connector wiring (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve) used in most modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It arranges the 4-pin connector as Left Audio (Tip), Right Audio (Ring 1), Ground (Ring 2), and Microphone (Sleeve). This standard is widely used by Apple, Android, and Sony devices to ensure compatibility for audio and mic input.  OMTP (Open Mobile Terminal Platform): Older, legacy standard. The OMTP standard is a 3.5mm TRRS (Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve) connector wiring configuration where the microphone is on the second ring and ground is on the sleeve. It was primarily used in older devices (e.g., Nokia, early Androids) and is often incompatible with modern CTIA-standard devices, requiring adapters to reverse the ground/mic connections. Micro USB cable connection  Note: Most Android phones transitioned from Micro USB to USB-C between 2016 and 2018. While high-end flagships like the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 introduced the port in 2016, widespread adoption across mid-range and budget Android devices occurred closer to 2018–2019. By 2020, USB-C was the standard for nearly all new Android devices. Note: Apple iPhones have never used a Micro USB port for charging or data transfer. Apple used a proprietary 30-pin connector (original iPhone to iPhone 4S), followed by the Lightning connector (iPhone 5 to iPhone 14), and transitioned to USB-C with the iPhone 15 and later models.   iPhone 4 with 30 pin connection  Apple iPhone Lightning connector. Apple's Lightning connector is a proprietary, 8-pin reversible port introduced in 2012 (iPhone 5) and phased out for USB-C with the iPhone 15 series. It supports charging and data transfer for iPhones (up to iPhone 14).   Mobile phone (LG Android) Micro USB port Micro-USB ports are primarily found on older (2015) or budget mobile phones. This cable connection is used for charging the phone battery or for transfer of data. Music can be played over the micro USB cable connection. USB Cable (For Playing Local Files) Connect your Android mobile phone to your PC using a USB cable, micro USB to the phone and the other end USB Type-A on the computer. Phone should be fully charged 100%. On the phone, change the USB setting to File Transfer (or MTP). When you plug in the USB cable, you should be prompted to select the USB transfer option or to charge the phone. On your Windows computer, open File Explorer, locate the phone's music files, and play them directly (Windows Media Player) or copy them to the computer and play them from the computer directly. Look for the name of your phone in Windows Explorer and click on it. Navigate through the storage folders to find the folder with your files (music or video or images). Click on the file you want to play. Your default player should start playing the file you selected.  Windows Media Player Home screen In Windows Media Player, go to the HOME screen and click on the "Open file(s)" tab. From here, you can select your phone's files. Adjust the volume on phone and in the player. If errors occur, restart computer or disconnect USB cable and reconnect. Try a different USB port on computer. Wi-Fi wireless While standard Bluetooth is convenient, it compresses audio, making wired connections or Wi-Fi superior. Apple iPhones with Airplay or Android phones with GoogleCast (ChromeCast) can use your home Wi-Fi network to play music to compatible devices. Note: LG, (Android OS) terminated their mobile phone business and support in 2021. LG no longer makes mobile phones and support has ended. As of June 30, 2025, LG shut down its smartphone update servers, meaning no further software upgrades, security patches, or app updates. Miracast, Googlecast, Chromecast, SmartView, Airplay Wi-Fi audio and video casting can be a confusing and ever changing landscape of different manufacturers, technologies and software. Often, using devices from the same manufacturer can give the best results. For example a Samsung phone will work best with a Samsung TV. There are many alternatives to get the results you want. The technology is always progressing. The Basics: Look for the Casting icon on Wi-Fi enabled devices.  Pressing this icon in the media app or device usually starts the process of linking the devices through Wi-Fi. You need a capable home wireless Wi-Fi router to link devices wirelessly. You need the devices to have compatible Wi-Fi capability. Wi-Fi must be enabled (turned ON) in the devices. The devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The media app running on the phone must have casting capability compatible with the receiving device. Casting must be enabled in the phone media app and the receiving device must enable casting and have a media receiving application. Audio or Video files must be available on the phone to play. "VLC for Android" is one phone media app that can cast audio or video files using Wi-Fi from a mobile phone to a compatible TV for example. If your TV is compatible, you can play songs on the phone and hear them on the TV speakers or on larger external speakers connected to the TV. Video files can be viewed on the large TV screen.

Mobile Phone Wired Connection to Stereo How Can I Play Music From My Phone Through My Home Stereo?  Adapter cable - USB-C to RCA stereo You can use an adapter cable with RCA or 3.5mm Aux connectors to connect phone's USB-C port to stereo analog inputs.  Stereo Aux analog inputs 1. Locate the AUX port or a set of RCA inputs such as Aux or CD input on your stereo: This port is usually on the back of the stereo and often labeled "AUX," or "Audio In". 2. Plug in the aux cable: Insert one end of the cable into your phone's headphone jack (3.5mm analog if available), USB-C port (digital) or external adapter and the other end into the stereo's AUX input port. 3. Select the correct input on your stereo: Use the stereo's input or source button to switch to the correct mode. 4. Play your music: Open your favorite music app on your phone and press play. The sound should now stream through your home stereo speakers. USB connections USB connections have become a popular way to stream music from your phone to your home stereo. Unlike analog connections such as aux cables, USB transfers digital audio signals directly. This means your stereo's built-in digital-to-analog converter (DAC) handles the sound processing instead of your phone's DAC or your adapter cable's built-in DAC. Since many stereos have higher-quality DACs, this often results in clearer, more detailed audio. USB also provides a stable, interference-free connection. Unlike Bluetooth, USB doesn't rely on wireless signals that can drop or degrade. It's especially useful when you want consistent, high-fidelity sound without worrying about wireless signal interruptions. Most modern smartphones support USB-C audio output. Your stereo or external DAC must have a USB input designed for audio, usually labeled "USB" or “USB Audio” or similar, to use this method effectively. How to Play Music Using a USB Connection 1. Check your stereo for a USB audio port: Look for a USB port on the front or back of your stereo. 2. Get the correct USB cable: Use a cable compatible with your phone's charging port on one end (USB-C) and a USB connector on the other end to plug into the stereo. 3. Connect your phone to the stereo: Plug the cable into both devices. Your phone might prompt you to allow USB audio output or switch to a specific mode. 4. Select the USB input on your stereo: Use the stereo's input or source button to switch to the USB mode. 5. Play your music: Open your music app and start playback. The stereo should now output the sound from your phone. Some phones may require enabling USB audio output in settings or supporting USB Audio Class 2.0 for higher-resolution sound. Check your phone's specifications and stereo manual for compatibility details. Use a high-quality correct and compatible USB cable and ensure your phone supports USB audio output to get the best sound quality when streaming music via USB to your home stereo. High quality external DAC: By connecting the phone's USB-C port to an external DAC's USB input, you can get the benefits of a higher quality DAC. Then connect the DAC's analog audio output to the stereo analog input. The Schiit Modi 3 is a versatile USB/SPDIF Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) that features three primary digital inputs—USB, Toslink (Optical), and Coaxial and one set of RCA analog outputs which connect to your stereo amp or receiver inputs. The Schiit Modi 3 (and 3+) features a Micro-USB input for data, often referred to as a "USB micro" port. Schiit Modi 5 desktop DAC: USB-C input Phone Connectivity: Directly compatible with modern USB-C phones (Android or iOS).  The Schiit Modi 5 DAC works with an iPhone, but it requires specific adapters for a wired connection. For older iPhones with a Lightning port, you need an Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter to connect to the DAC. For iPhones with a USB-C port (iPhone 15 and later), a standard USB-C (digital data) to USB-C cable will generally work. Step-by-Step Connection Guide: Phone to DAC to stereo Audio Output (Android to Modi): Connect your Android phone's USB-C port to the USB input on the back of the Modi 5 using a USB-C to USB-C cable (or USB-C to Micro USB, depending on the Modi model). Analog Output (Modi to Amp): Connect the RCA jacks labeled "R" and "L" on the Modi to your amplifier, preamplifier, or powered speakers using standard RCA cables. Powering the Modi (Crucial for Android): Option A (Ideal): Use a USB-C hub that supports PD (Power Delivery) to allow the phone to charge while driving the DAC. Option B (Recommended for Stability): Use the secondary USB input on the Modi (if available) or a "y-splitter" cable to connect a 5V power source (like a phone wall charger) to the Modi. This ensures the phone battery doesn't drain quickly and provides consistent power to the DAC. Playback: Play music on your phone. Most modern Android devices will automatically detect the DAC and route audio through it. Note: Android Audio Output: Some Android devices may require you to enable "OTG storage" or "USB debugging" in settings, or use an app like USB Audio Player Pro for maximum compatibility, though most modern phones are plug-and-play. Power Issues: If the Modi does not turn on (light stays off), your phone is not providing enough power, and you must use an external 5V power supply via the second USB port. Volume Control: The Modi 5 has a fixed output. Use your amplifier or music app to control the volume. Connect Mobile Phone to Car Stereo Connecting a phone to a car stereo is best achieved via Bluetooth for wireless convenience, or USB cable for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, or an AUX cable (3.5mm) for older vehicles. Simply activate pairing mode on the car stereo and phone for Bluetooth wireless, or for a wired connection, plug in the USB/AUX cable. Methods to Connect Phone to Car Stereo: Bluetooth (Wireless): On your car stereo, enable pairing mode (often labeled "BT," "Pair," or via "Settings" > "Bluetooth"). On your phone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and select the car's name. This allows music streaming and, often, hands-free calling. USB Cable (Android Auto/Apple CarPlay): Plug your phone directly into the car’s USB port using your USB charging cable. This often triggers Android Auto or Apple CarPlay for a fully integrated interface. Aux Cable (3.5mm): If your car has an AUX input port, plug a 3.5mm cable into your phone’s headphone jack (or a USB-C or Lightning adapter) and the other end into the stereo. Cassette Adapter: For very old vehicles, a cassette adapter can be plugged into a phone (3.5mm) and inserted into the car's audio cassette player. Headphone Jack Alternative: If your phone lacks a headphone jack, use a USB-C to 3.5mm or Lightning to 3.5mm dongle cable. Input Selection: Ensure your stereo is set to the correct input source (AUX, USB, or FM). Columbia ISA Audio Video Empowering consumers through information columbiaisa@yahoo.com |
