I have an Yamaha HTR 5730 AV receiver. I have a red and one jack that will fit into the rear of the receiver and other end of the cord fits into my headsit area of my I Pod Touch .... where do I hook it up in the back.... there is no auxcillary Audio. After I get it hook up what button do I push on the remote to get it to work? I appreciate your assistance with this matter.

I had tried this before but did not push the stereo button and therefore did not get any sound. Right now with the volume on the I Pod touch at a quarter way from the left side of the screen my volume is at 15 decibels. This is nice for easy listening in my family room but if I have an outside party can I push the volume on the I Pod touch up to half way. Thank you for your assistance.

You can push up the volume on the Ipod but first, it is better to push up the master volume on the receiver. The reasoning behind this, is that your can overload the input stage of the receiver. The receiver inputs, "V-Aux, CD, etc. are designed to take about 1 volt input to produce full blast output.
The symptom of overloading the input will be high frequency distortion (mushy sound) and you can risk burning out the tweeters on your speakers from the distortion (even if the amplfier is not at full power output). I would test the Ipod itself to see if your perceive even the smallest amount of distortion having the receiver at low volume. I would bring the Ipod to 40% and if that is OK, Bring it to 50%, etc.
Just so that you know. The Ipod, on screen indicator of volume is not perfectly linear. so 50% displayed in not really 50% energy. I have to commend you for your observation of the decibel meter. Very intelligent. Now if the meter is mechanical it will not track full peaks accurately. I would try pushing it to about 60% average and see if that works. When pushing the power amplifier section (the one connected directly to the speaker) for 'party' levels,
Turn that up watching for speaker distortion at high power levels. You can burn out the tweeters from that as well. If you back off the output so the sound is really clear sounding, you will be able to go years without problems. One other thing to know (I'm getting carried away here) is that you should have an amplifier that exceeds the power requirements of the speakers. That doesn't mean you should overdrive the speakers. It does mean that amplifier peak distortion (clipping the top of the audio waveform going into the speaker on loud transient notes) will also burn out speakers. However loud transient notes without clipping, that are themselves (for an instant in time) more exceed the speaker's wattage rating WILL NOT burn it out. I hope these guidelines are helpful to you.
