In a way it is hooked up to my speaker system. I have my docking station, which you can see in my gallery also, hooked into my home theater system. When I run emplode on the digiframe (my new word for it) I can pick what songs to play. All I have to do is select the input on the receiver for the empeg and it is playing through my speakers. I also have my house and back deck wired for sound and can play the empeg music throughout.
