AIRPLAY AND PHONESHARE OPERATIONS

AiOS can play music from phones and tablets in several ways. These methods include Airplay,
Phoneshare, and Qualcomm aptX® Bluetooth. Airplay and PhoneShare operate via the same
method although AirPlay is primarily for iOS devices and PhoneShare for Android devices.

AIRPLAY AND PHONESHARE PLAYBACK AND CONNECTION

Airplay is primarily for iOS devices while PhoneShare is for Android devices. They both require a
wireless connection of your portable device to your network and sends music from your device to
your router over Wi-Fi. The router then sends it to AiOS either Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet depending on
how your AIOS is connected to your network router. The advantages of AirPlay and PhoneShare is
that since it relies on Wi-Fi the range which you can send music to AiOS from your portable device is
much greater than Bluetooth. Airplay only transmits at 44.1 kHz. PhoneShare will send signals
greater than 44.1 kHz, even DSD natively without any conversion.
(1) Open your desired music app and look for this icon
(2) Tap on the icon and wait for available device(s) to appear.
(3) Select "Cary Audio AIOS" with "Airplay" icon and start playback of your music selection.
(4) AiOS will display all track information on the front panel.
(5) To use PhoneShare from Android devices, PhoneShare will be listed as an INPUT on the
android app. Select it to view and play the music on that device to AiOS.
DID YOU KNOW?
Using Cary Audio's proprietary TruBit™ PCM and DSD Upsampling and conversion technology
allows you to get the most out of AirPlay signals during playback for a superior listening
experience. With TruBit™, you can upsample to 1 or 7 different sample rates or 1 of 3 different
PCM to DSD conversion rates. See more on this in the in the PCM to DSD upsampling/conversion
section of the manual.
NOTE: Volume control during Airplay is taken over by the portable device. Therefore, you can
increase and decrease AIOS' volume with the portable device itself (this is opposite of how Bluetooth
volume operates).
