How to Attach an iPod to a TV Surround Sound System
An iPod is a personal media player allowing users to listen to music or watch videos on the go. The iPod can also be connected to a surround sound system for when you'd like to listen to music at your home. This feature can be handy when working out, hosting a party or if you're simply relaxing in your living room. All that is required is a Y cable, which attaches your iPod to your receiver. Y cables can be found at any home electronics store.
