How do i play an ipod in my blu ray system? it says accessory connected but no music is playing (ipod touch)

This is always tricky with 1st generation iPod touches. After a while they can't handle the new software anymore and some functions won't work anymore. Maybe try to downgrade the software. Otherwise you should probably get a new iPod.

Please check the iPod connector on the Sony. If you can wiggle it, it is probably a bad connection. These models Sony radios have the connector directly soldered on a PCB and it tends to get loose after a while due to connecting/disconnecting the iPod. If it is loose, the connector needs to be resoldered back into place.

I have had the following circumstances when there was a bad connection:
- iPod will not be charged
- iPod can not play music through the Sony
- iPod will play music through the Sony, but an iPhone won't

This happened to me - the radio also wasn't playing. I was able to resolve it by resetting the unit using the instructions in this manual: https://docs.sony.com/release/ICFCS10IP.pdf

I hope that helps!

First, if iPod (from your iPhone) doesn't play automatically, you should open it and play the song you wanna hear.

After that, make sure you selected the "Dock" from your home theatre system to make sure that it'll be producing the sound coming from your dock and not from your TV or blu-ray/DVD player or gaming consoles.

And finally, make sure the volume is loud enough for you to hear your songs.

I bought this Charge Converter from CableJive. It allows me to charge my iPhone 3g on many accessories that would not normally charge the newer models and has successfully fixed the issue with my H+K Dock. I definitely recommend checking them out.
