What does it mean to have a "compatible" stereo system? I have a receiver/system with standard RCA plug inputs. I see trhat the output of the Airport Express is a stereo mini plug of a pretty standard type.



Do I get some kind of adapter with a male mini plug on one end and an RCA y-connector on the other for right/left?



Or is my stereo not "compatible?"



THANKS...

    Uh, yeah. Mini-plug to twin RCA. Available at any Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc, etc, etc, and probably most drug stores.



    It's awfully standard.



    (Actually, doesn't the thing ship with the right cable in the first place?)

    PROBABLY -- THEY'RE GOOD ABOUT THAT -- I JUST WASN'T SURE.



    YOUR ANSWER MEANS I CAN BUY THE DEVICE, GET RID OF MY CD PLAYER AND CD TOWER(S), GET RID OF MY VCR, GET A DVD/VCR COMBO UNIT, AND FURTHER FREE-UP MY TOO-CLUTTERED TV-STEREO AREA.

    no, it does not come with the needed cables.... but you can buy an accessory kit that has an extension cord and monster RCA cables..
