Before you begin
Congratulations on purchasing your Acoustic
Research Advanced Audio System with AirPlay!
This product can provide you hours of music
enjoyment by allowing you to wirelessly stream
audio content from your iPad, iPhone or iPod
touch installed with iOS 4.3.3 (or later) or a WiFi
enabled computer installed with iTunes 10.2.2 (or
later). No longer do you need to have your device
(iPad, iPhone, or iPod) tethered to your audio
system. You can roam around the house or office
while texting, or gaming, or using some other
functions of your device, while still listening to
the great music played back through your
ARAP50. You can also play and charge your
devices through the USB port. Not all Apple
devices support the play and charge function of
the USB port.
