The iH80 only charges your iPod while
connected to the AC adaptor (not on
batteries). AC adaptor isn’t plugged into a
wall outlet or the connector is not plugged
into the power supply jack on the back of
the unit

Plug the AC adaptor into a working wall outlet and plug the
connector into the supply jack on the iH82. Check
that all connections are secure. If there is a power switch
for the outlet make sure it is on.

If the iPod original sound source (MP3) is of poor quality,

If you are using an external sound source like older
