ahurd Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I have just acquired a 1992 sc400 with the Nakamichi sound system (7 speakers, 12 cd changer) but would like to be able to play mp3's I have recorded on cd's. Possibilities as I see them: 1) ditch the Nakamichi head unit and replace it with a JVC KD-sh99 which is a very good head unit which can hopefully be connected to cd changer. , 2) be able to use an ipod either connected to Nakamichi or separate sound system. I am hesitant to ditch the Nakamichi for fear it is better quality than the sh99 or any other similar head. Comments would be appreciated.

Rip the MP3 CD's onto iTunes in your computer, select a new playlist, then burn playlist as "Audio Files" instead of MP3. Worked perfect for me. Now I am just trying to figure out a way to actually hardwire a jack to the NAK system so I can use my iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
