Answer
 +
X10's MP3 Anywhere
 +
2000 allows you to play audio from your PC and listen on your home stereo.
 +
The Boom 2000 software puts the control of up to three different multimedia
 +
applications together in one place--the UR51A MP3/DVD remote. Boom
 +
2000 lets you control playback on your stereo up to 50 feet away from
 +
your PC.

 +
'''Setting Up
 +
the Audio Transmitter'''
 +
The first part of setting
 +
up the MP3 Anywhere 2000 is connecting the wireless transmitter (model
 +
AT10A) to the sound card on your computer. The output of your sound
 +
card connects to the input on the video sender. Follow these steps:
 +
1. Find your PC's sound
 +
card. This should be on the back of your PC. If you are not sure where
 +
the sound card is, contact the maker of your PC for help.
 +
2. Find the audio output
 +
on the sound card. This normally connects to the speaker. Connect
 +
this output to the left and right Audio In plugs on the
 +
AT10A transmitter using the supplied 1/4-inch stereo jack to RCA audio
 +
cable.

 +
3. Connect the PT30A power
 +
supply to the DC 12V plug on the AT10A transmitter.
 +
The audio transmitter is
 +
now ready to send your MP3 music to your stereo. Place the AT10A in a
 +
convenient location and raise the antenna for best reception.
 +
'''Connect the
 +
Audio Receiver to Your Stereo'''
 +
These steps will guide
 +
you through connecting the AR10A video receiver to your stereo. Here's
 +
how you do it:
 +
1. Connect the red and
 +
white plugs on the supplied RCA cable to the respective Audio In connections
 +
on the video receiver. Plug the other ends of these into the appropriate
 +
audio inputs on your stereo.
 +
2. Plug the PR30A power
 +
supply into any 120V AC outlet.
 +
3. Plug the power output
 +
of the PR30A into the DC 12V plug on the AR10A.
 +
Make sure the Channel switch
 +
on the underside of the AR10A is set to the same letter as that on
 +
the AT10A transmitter and turn the receiver On. Simply select the
 +
correct input setting on your stereo to listen to your MP3 files.
