Can you hook up an iPod/iPhone to the USB port and play your music or is it just for flash drives?

it would not connect to my Samsung, but I don't know if that's because it's Android rather than Apple, or the connection cable is not compatible - in the instruction manual it says "Not all brands of USB flash drives are supported"; and I haven't tried recording back to flash drive, but other than that this is an amazing little unit, well worth the price!

Not sure what you mean by "charge" in this case. This receiver supports "Air Play" which will allow you to use your iPhone to play music through the receiver. I believe that the iPhone 5 is supported. I have a 4S and iTunes seems to support this as well. I suspect if you have the latest version of iTunes (which you need for your iPhone 5 IIRC) you should get what you want.Ignoring all of the above, if you are asking about using the USB port to charge your iPhone I have no idea.

I haven't connected an iPod up to it yet. It can be fully functional with any USB drive or other MP3 player though.

I think only audio, per HK website: "USB Port The AVR can play audio files from an Apple iOS device connected to the USB port, and allows you to control the iOS device via the AVR remote control. The AVR can also play MP3 and WMA audio files from a USB device inserted into the USB port. Insert the connector or device into the USB port oriented so it fits all the way into the port. You may insert or remove the connector or device at any time - there is no installation or ejection procedure."

yes you would be able to it can be connected via usb and used as a mass storage device or connected via aux. the black port on the rear for ipod cable can also be used as an aux. however personal reccomendation will be an ipod it uses artist and all the interfaces that the ipod gives you while with usb youll get folders and it will be in folders how you place them on mp3 players via aux you will not be able to change the track via the stereo.

You can charge all iPods with 30 pin connector and it only has a 3.5mm jack that will play music only from other products but will not act as a usb charger. Thank you

No. The USB connection only seems to work with iPods/iPhones, etc. And the dock connection only works with the newer-model iPod/iPhones.

Yes, you can! That's what I use. I have my music stored in my iPhone and it works wonderfully! You'll enjoy it!

Ipod port but you can connect via headphone jack. However, your device will not be charged as it plays.

Yes, it will play music files (mp3, wma, etc.) on a usb drive and it works with file folders on the drive. You can even use it to charge.

I play my ipod through the usb port it has. I have not yet bought the ipod adapter because the usb port works fine

I don't think you can, it doesn't have the right ports for that hookup, the only way to play music on this device is to have a CD player, or any kind of MP3 player

You can use the iPhone's Bluetooth with the sound bar. I haven't tried using the USB input with my iPod.

The dock the iphone or ipod sits in will only work with 30 pin connections, not the new "lightning" plug used for iPhone 5 and above. There is a MP3 setting that comes with a "earphone" type plug that will plug into the headphone jack on any phone and let the music play.

Yes you can. I have this model and I use a 64gb thumb drive for all my music. Works like a charm. Also can plug in an iPhone/iPod via USB for same results.

Yes, you can play music directly from a flash drive. You can plug in an size flash drive into the usb port.
