I have a ZUNE HD and when I plug it to philips speaker it only produces mild sound. The speakers doesn't produce loud sound. can i use this cable to get big sound from my speakers? I purchased several speakers but none of them are usable due to this...

This cable is simply and extension to another cable. It will not improve sound in any way, however, it will also not decrease sound quality. Your problem lies deeper than the cable. I would check the settings on your zune.

there is no way you can keep the headphones plugged into the Zune and connect it to the Kicker. the headphone jack is on the bottom of the Zune where it has to connect to the Kicker male post.

Since most speaker systems have a 3.5mm in, you should be able to use almost any speakers that are even made for ipods. We used our zune with a bose sounddock for quite some time and it worked well. There are 3.5mm to bluetooth devices that would allow you to transmit to bluetooth speakers (seach for 3.5mm bluetooth transmitter on amazon). I don't know how well they work, but that would allow you use any of all the bluetooth speakers out there. I don't think you're going to find a good docking speakers made for the Zune. Good luck!

Someone please help. I just bought my Zune 500 Kicker today. Sound quality is awesome. However, I can not get the radio (FM tuner) to play through the speakers. What am I doing wrong? I have even tried setting it to the FM tuner before docking it on the kicker and it still won't play the radio.

Wondering about this myself, before making a purchase. Some reviews report a direct connection to a speaker system, but the success of that would depend on what the speaker system can process internally. You might have to go the digital to analog converter route. Search that term for products. This cable delivers digital signals through the minijack, it does not convert them. My guess is, if a speaker system has no digital inputs, then it likely has no capability of processing digital signals. If it does have digital input ports, then it likely can process digital audio signals from the minijack port as well. Just a guess.

It won't work for sound. the VGA signal is video only, no audio. I tried to use mine for a video connection from a DVD player with component out to a TV with a PC/VGA in port. It didn't work either. Apparently it's a one-way cable from from VGA out to component in, and I've since read that's only if the device with component in will translate that VGA signal to component. ...basically, this cable was a waste of money.

Bought it for my husband. He uses it to play his music he has on his zune while lifting weights in the storage building behind our house. He said he never used it to play radio stations, but it should work fine. Havent had any problems with these speakers. It's been a great purchase!!

I bought mine for this purpose, but it didn't work. I think the problem was an unreliable part. Further research showed that this type of adapter can work, but may damage the equipment or degrade the sound. For more info on converting a stereo line level output to a mono output, Google "Why Not Wye" (yes, Wye), and follow the link to the Rane Corporation's article on this topic.

The Phillips Bluetooth adapter outputs a "line level" signal meant to act as the input to an amplifier. The Phillips unit will NOT drive speakers directly without the aid of an amplifier. I connect the output of the Phillips unit to the "Aux" input of my surround sound system. Works great! Good luck. John Kerwin

I have a Zune 120GB and it works. You just won't be able to use any of the adapters it comes with (for the 30 and the 80) - you just set it into the base without the adaptor. Only problem I found with this ZLive speaker dock is that I was never able to get the clock to work (to set the time). I think that Kicker is coming out some time in September with a new speaker dock for the Zuns.

You need to use speaker cables....NOT guitar or instrument cables. Use speaker cables only, you'll have a better sound.

If your speakers are self amplified or connected to a receiver or amp. Yes. Mid your speakers are self amplified, they will need to have cords long enough to connect to the Phillips device. Range is limited, so try to keep it within line of sight or about 30' max from the computer.

I'm not sure I understand he question but to give you an answer this cable is used for xbox only. You connect one end to the xbox and the other end to your sound system. Hope this answer your question.

Might be the connection at the bottom of your Zune player. Check to see if any of your prongs are bent or broken on the Kicker or your Zune player.

It would seem to me, that without a Zune player in the dock, there is no audio signal to output through the Zune optical output (or the HDMI output either).
