Using AirPort Express

How to Set It Up

1

Connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers using a digital

fiber optic cable, analog mini-stereo-to-dual-RCA cable, or mini-stereo to mini-stereo

cable (depending on what type of connectors your stereo uses) connected to the

stereo mini-jack (-

).

Note:

You cannot use USB speakers with AirPort Express. Use powered speakers with a

stereo mini-jack connector.

2

To join the wireless network, use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar on a

Macintosh. On a Windows computer, hold the pointer over the wireless connection

icon until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there

are multiple networks available. Enter the network password if necessary.

3

Open iTunes on your computer and choose your stereo or speakers from the speakers

pop-up menu in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.

You can stream iTunes music to more than one AirPort Express at a time by choosing

Multiple Speakers from the speakers pop-up menu.

Wireless computers within range of AirPort Express can wirelessly stream music to it

using iTunes 4.6 or later. Only one computer at a time can stream music to AirPort

Express.

Do not connect AirPort Express to the phono jack on your stereo.
