Hello and welcome to the Forum. I think you need to start over and call Tech Support. Don't know what model mp3 dock your have or how it is setup, but the Receiver part of the Duet is designed to hook up to a stereo through the RCA Outs or self powered speakers. Question: How come you have music in the hall and not in the Music Room? I have had a Harmony 1000 since they have come out and not had a single problem with it. Bought one for my parents and they don't have any issues with it. As to music all through out the house, Squeezebox can make that easy if properly setup and you have a healthy WiFi Network. The WiFi Network must be trouble free, free of interference, no firewall issues, and just because a laptop works over WiFi for web and Email doesn't necessarily mean ones WiFi network is healthy without issue. The only thing harder to stream over WiFi then audio is audio/video. Once each room has a Squeezebox, then it is a simple thing to Sync them so they are all playing at the same time. Many of us do it everyday. If you want the Forum to help trouble shoot this, we will need exact details. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76338 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
