Because your AirPlay system works wirelessly
over your home's WiFi network, you must make
sure your speaker is connected to that WiFi
network.
To connect the ARAP50 to your existing home
WiFi network, you need to apply your home WiFi
settings to the unit. There are two primary ways
to do this:
1. Using the Acoustic Research AR Connect App
– If you have an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch,
use the AR Connect App for the most simple
set-up approach.
2. Setting the network parameters manually – If
you are using PC or Mac or you wish to
configure advanced network settings, you
should use this method to setup up the
ARAP50.
Using the Acoustic Research AR
Connect App
1. Turn on the ARAP50 by pressing the Power
button. Wait until the Power indicator turns
solid blue.
2. Use the sync cable that came with your iPad,
iPhone, or iPod touch to connect your device
to the USB port on the back of the ARAP50.
Connecting to WiFi network
3. Once you connect, your device will prompt
you to download an App to use with the
ARAP50. Select Yes to continue.
4. Enter your iTunes password to download and
install the App on your device. y
5. Once the App has finished
installing on your device, the AR
Connect icon appears on your
device’s home screen. Select this
icon to launch the App. This App allows you
to enjoy easy network set up and give a
name to the ARAP50 which will appear in the
list of choices when streaming audio.
