AirTunes tip

Actually, I discovered this tip myself while hooking up an iPod to my stereo several months ago. At first, I just thought that the iPod wasn't strong enough, and just turned the bass way down. Eventually I figured out that if I used the Tape 1 input (because, being honest, when is the last time I even used the freaking thing), I got a much improved sound. Anyway, from AppleUsing AirPort Express with the Phono jack on your stereo:

Do your AirTunes sound funny when you connect AirPort Express to the Phono (or phonograph) input jack on your stereo? Well, it should! This is because many record turntables produce a very low signal. Consequently, most stereos are designed to boost the Phono channel.

When you connect a normal line level device to a Phono jack using an analog cable, the resulting sound may be distorted, too loud, or have too much low end boost.

To avoid this, simply connect AirPort Express to another jack such as CD, Tape 1, Tape 2, Video 2, AUX, DVD, or DAT.

Tip: This applies only when connecting AirPort Express via analog cables, not digital.
