Airport Express and Stereo System

[JzzTrump22]

I'm thinking about getting airport express and I want to know what i need in order to use the airport express with my sound system. It's a 500W Onkyo.

I've connected my Airport Express to my ONKYO TXDS484 (http://www.onkyo.net/uk/cms/products/formerprod/fp_hometh/0500-TXDS484/), using an ordinary analog mini-jack to phono cord... works fine... But I think you get even better sound if you use the optional Monster Cable (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M9573LL/A)...

You need one miniplug-to-RCA cable.

I have the HT-R510. Could your repost the link to the cables/connector i need. The link you posted doesn't work. How much is it going to cost for me to get it hooked up so i could use it wirelessly?

(Here's a $19.90 version (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F007%5F014%5F000%5F000&product%5Fid=12%2D2057), but I think you can find cheaper ones, Monster doesn't actually seem like a cheap brand... ;))

The AirPort Express Stereo Connection Kit with Monster Cables (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M9573LL/A) I'm trying to link to is $39,-...

Now, let's see if that link doesn't work, Apple has probably changed it's site structure again, because I had a way of linking into products withoout getting those sessions issues... :rolleyes:

Though this may seem obvious, you also need to have an airport card installed in you computer. I did not realize this when I purchased the Airport Express. I thought I could stream the music through my wireless router which is connected to via ethernet to my G5. I did not feel like spending another $80 so I returned the Airport Express.

If anyone knows how to use the Express without an Airport card, I would love to be enlightened on the subject.

I have an airport card with my machine. I don't remember if it was standard on all Rev. C models. But thanks for the links.
