Listening To Airplay Streaming - Russound XStream X5 Installation Manual

Listening to Airplay Streaming

The XStream™ X5 has Apple's AirPlay technology built into the streamer. AirPlay works over your Wi-Fi
network. Using your Wi-Fi, high quality audio content can be sent wirelessly to any X5 powered room
in the system. With AirPlay, your iOS device becomes an extension of each X5. From iTunes, you can
also simultaneously stream to multiple X5 devices. Just choose multiple X5 powered rooms from the
AirPlay menu. It's that simple!
AirPlay also streams more than just music to your X5 device. It shares metadata and simple control
commands from your iOS device. AirPlay is completely integrated and simple to use.
iPhone 5 iOS 7 example:
Open your music app and chose an artist from your playlist.
Using the swipe feature in iOS 7, swipe from the
bottom of the screen to the top of the screen to
reveal the AirPlay menu.
Press the AirPlay menu button to reveal a list
of AirPlay capable devices. Your X5 devices will
appear in this box as the X5 room name or the
default MAC address. Choose the appropriate X5
device and music will begin playing. If you have
a connected keypad, the keypad will show the
metadata and controls such as volume up and
down can now be controlled bi-directionally
between the keypad and iOS device.
