Hello, people! I've got a stereo sys SA-AK17 Panasonic. Can I, by any chance, connect/adapt it to read USBs or at least to my phone? I don t have CDs or cassettes anymore, but the speakers are great and I'd like to enjoy their sound. Thank you in advance!!!

There are many hi-fi and phone docks with usb capability but I don't know of any preamps with that capability, which you would need to use as an interface - they probably exist but so far I haven't seen one.

There are many digital to analogue converters but the software to search and recognise playable files would be absent.
The easiest way would be to play your digital files from your computer through your Panasonic, though I would guess they are in Mp3 format at a relatively low bit rate so you might be disappointed with the quality from your hitherto impressive hi-fi.

I think the wisest thing would be to purchase a usb fm transmitter, somewhat out of fashion today but offer a huge advantage for those whose music and other audio material is stored digitally. I bought a couple and mine look like a memory stick and once inserted the computer sees it as another sound card. Set it to the desired frequency and tune any nearby fm radio to that frequency and your music files will be broadcast from big speakers in reasonable quality without the problems of connecting leads or impedance and sensitivity matching.
My usb fm transmitters were very inexpensive and have a range of up to 30 yards but considerably more expensive types can broadcast into every corner of a large house and fairly extensive grounds.

Having gone digital and rid yourself of hard copy, I hope you have had the good sense to make at least two backup copies of your library...

SOURCE: house already wired up for wall speakers (2 wires) BUT

Hi...
The 4 wires are 2 for the treble/midrange 2 for the bass.
You can tie the wires in parallel ( one wire from one pair to another in the other pair and repeat) but you need to know how many "ohms" the stereo can handle.
Should say on the back of the rack system

SOURCE: Replacing Panasonic SA-HT500 with Newer Model that has HDMI Input

ANY amp will be ok, as long as the wattage of your new amp does not exceed the wattage of your speakers. Otherwise you could overdrive your speakers and damage them. First clue, if you turn up the volume and the speakers start to shut off and on you are pushing too much power to them.

I have a Panasonic SA-AK 67 Can any one tell how to connect it to my phone using aux cable

Hello Zubair, to connect your phone to the SA-AK 67, you need a cable that has two RCA connectors (White and Red) to a 3.5mm stereo jack
The RCA connectors, you connect them in the AUX input that is on the rear panel of the SA-AK67 and the 3.5mm stereo jack, in the headphone output of your phone
You select Aux on the Panasonic, you play something on your cell phone and you're done
I hope you find the information useful
Greetings Franco Dosil

Espero te sea util la informacion

My Panasonic stereo system sa-ak17 will not come out of cd mode

I there are two possibilities. One is that the device uses a soft touch control pad that has snapped off and therefore when you press the control it fails to make contact. If it is that it can sometimes be cured by taking off the control face plate and melting the plastic back on with a soldering iron.
The other possible explanation is that the control IC has failed and needs to be replaced.

I have a panasonic sa ak15 stereo system, the five cd trays have cds in them, i pressed the cd open button but cds don`t come out, the system screen says change, what could be the problem?

The door loader motor isn't working. Sometimes the plastic tray warps and hangs a bit. Mine still hangs, but I can give it a push to close. If you can see the door trying to open you can help it open but you have to be quick or you have to press the open button more that once.

Why did my car stereo muted when playing CDs and USBs while radio works ok?

What I have seen with a lot of car stereos, is they don't build them to withstand the vibrations cars put out. Just bad solder joints..

I have a CD Stereo system SA-AK17, 120V, 145W, without speaker. I provided 2 speaker with the brand of Technics, input 200W(.music), 100W(DIN) each speaker. I bought Audio wire and connect speakers...

Some stereo system have the ability to switch off the speakers when playing via headphones. In others the headphone socket itself does the switching. However headphone sockets can become faulty and when the headphone plug is removed it doesn't restore sound to the speakers. It's very easy to fix this, with a check that the contacts are not bent out of place. Or you can rewire a new headphone socket, making a note of the wire connections before you replace it.
Sometimes it is quite difficult to get the speaker cable to make a good contact with the speaker sockets. You should check that they are making contact.
To test any loudspeaker just connect a 1.5 battery for a short time across the disconnected speaker. If working the speaker will pop!
As the sound is going to the headphones the amp seems to be OK and one of the above options should correct the problem.
