phil_m Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It is stereo. When you say it only plays in mono, do you mean you're only hearing music from one side of the headphones, or are you hearing the same thing from both sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight316 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Only one side of my headphones. Driving my crazy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Make sure the stereo cable is fully inserted into the Pod HD cd/mp3 input. Make sure the iPod is sending a stereo signal. Test your headphones. Also test the other outputs of the Pod HD; they should also deliver the stereo signal from the cd/mp3 input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTSC777 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It is stereo and a great practice tool.I have found it very easy to balance my HD500 patches with my Mp3/Ipod tracks for practice and learning material.I always make sure my extension cable is good and yes the cable is fully inserted into the jack.

pfsmith0 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yes, it's stereo. Plug your headphones into something else to make sure you're hearing both sides. Wiggle the chord, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienux Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I've found on my HD500X that if I use an adapter for my headphones, I have to jiggle it just right or pull it out and back in just right to get it to work in stereo. I never have that problem with a normal 1/4" cable, just when I use a 1/4" adapter for a 1/8" headphone cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It sounds like your adapter is not good. If the 1/4 inch cables work, it's not a Pod problem but an adapter problem. I bought an extension cable with 1/4 inch plug on one end and 1/8 jack on the other to use with my Headphones since I needed a longer cable anyway.

alienux Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Charlie_Watt, in my case I'm sure it's the adapter, although I've had the problem with several adapters and several different sets of 1/8" headphones. I'm sure the POD is fine because it's the 1/8" end that I have to adjust usually, but once it's set, it's not a problem anymore so I don't worry much about it.

Flight316 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 That was it!!!!!! I did make sure my headphones were fully plugged into my Hd, but as stated before this responce,, I alike many others use an adapter for my headphones. Problem solved by pulling my headphone out slightly from the adapter. All works great! I can now practice in Bliss!!!! Thanks guys!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
