It only takes a couple minutes and a little planning. You'll soon be enjoying our 'Crystal Clear' digital sound - better than FM radio!

To get hooked up, follow these simple steps:

Option #1: Wired

This is the perfect choice for Connectbrazil.com fans who have a laptop or notebook computer with a wireless connection to the Internet, or for those who have their 'desktop' computer positioned near to their audio system. Inexpensive and easy!

STEP 1. Purchase an extended cable adapter with a stereo mini-headphone jack on one end and left and right stereo RCA-type plugs on the other end. RCA plugs are those red and white plugs that hook into the back of your stereo receiver. You can find this type of cable (also called a stereo 3.5mm Y Adapter cable) in various lengths at your neighborhood electronic store or through many online retailers. Be sure to purchase a cable long enough for your needs.

 

 

Option #2: Wireless

This is a great choice for Connectbrazil.com fans who have a computer that is not close to their stereo system. We use systems like this in our offices and at home.

For this option, you'll need to purchase a wireless audio transmitter and receiver - usually sold in a pair (one each). The transmitter will use the same basic cable as in option #1 (above) to connect to your computer's 'audio out' plug. The receiver is likewise connected to your stereo's AUX, CD or TAPE input jacks These systems transmit the audio from your computer to your stereo across longer distances and from floor to floor. Because these systems transmit on frequencies close to wireless phones, we advise you to carefully research the these various brands to find one that will match your needs. Be aware that these devices might share the same frequency with other appliances in your home.

There are several companies which make high quality wireless systems for audio, in a price range of $!00-200.00 +. Purchase at your neighborhood electronic store or through many online retailers. We suggest using a search engine like Google to read reviews on-line before making a buying decision.Setup is easy and usually takes only a few minutes to align the antennas.
