Kitchen sound system with Apple TV?
Comments (3)We did this a year ago, before Apple updated their Apple t.v., so we used an Airport Express, but it's the same process (we now have added apple t.v.'s to 2 other rooms, and they work essentially the same way except that we don't need Airfoil to run them)-- here's dh's description from a previous pos after we finished a year ago -- if you have more questions contact me via e-mail and I'll put you in touch with him. Kris found some Cambridge Soundworks Ambience 80 speakers, which install in the ceiling. We ordered four of them (2 in the kitchen and 2 in the living room) and got permission from our contractor to run some speaker wire while the ceiling was torn off, and I ran wiring from where we wanted to speakers installed over to the location of our pantry, where we planned to install the sound equipment. We also had the electrician install an electrical outlet inside the cabinet. After the kitchen was finished, we cut holes in the ceiling to install and wire up the speakers. Inside the pantry, we ran the other end of the speaker wires into an electrical box with speaker terminals. For sound equipment, we got an Airport Express, which has a mode that allows it to stream music from iTunes. The hardest part was finding an amplifier that would fit inside the pantry and not generate too much heat. We ended up buying two small PylePCA3 amplitiers - one each for the kitchen and living room speakers. We put these in the pantry, along with the Airport Express and connected the audio out jack on the airport into the amplifiers (we had to use an RCA jack splitter to connect to both amps). We keep the amplifiers on, and can stream music from our laptops anywhere in the house. We also use a third party software program called Airfoil (for Macs only) that allows us to stream music from *any* application, not just iTunes....See MoreHelp!

Comments (5)Moni, just navigate to the GW Forum List on your iPad. When there, you should see a "Sign In" button in the upper right corner of the page. Ignore the green confirm your account button; you've already done that. All you want to do now is sign in. Let me know if you need a screen shot of that. You will be presented with a page to enter your username or email address and password. That should get you in....See MoreUsing iPad on houzz
Comments (8)Yes, I use Safari, Terilyn. Imstill.....I might be using just the Safari browser. It takes me to "Frequently Visited" and I go to Houzz that way. Maybe that's the problem, but I've never had it before. Could be something to do with the latest Apple update. OK--I got the Houzz ap, but when using it, it takes me to their page showing gardens, etc. What's the quickest way to get to forums?...See More- 9 years ago
