1. Connect an output from the Transporter to your stereo amplifi er, preamp, or receiver with
the appropriate interconnect.
The most common connection uses the unbalanced analog output red and white RCA
connectors to connect to a line-level input, such as a CD or TAPE input. (Note: Transporter's
outputs are not compatible with PHONO inputs.) More details about Transporter's audio
connections are available in the Audio Connections section.
2. If you are using an ethernet network connection with your Transporter, connect an
ethernet cable from your hub or switch to Transporter. Otherwise, screw the included
wireless antennae to the two gold antenna connectors on Transporter.
3. Put the two AA batteries into the remote control.
4. Connect the included power cable to Transporter and plug it in.
You can leave Transporter plugged in all the time. When not in use, it enters standby mode
and dims the display. You can also dim the display by pressing the
the remote or front panel.

Audio Connections

Transporter has a host of both digital and analog connections to choose from. Picking the
one that's right for you depends on how your current audio system is set up. For instance,
if balanced inputs are available on your amplifi er, preamplifi er, or receiver, it's usually better
to use those rather than the unbalanced inputs.
Transporter also provides a set of digital input connections to allow other digital audio sources
to use Transporter as a digital to analog converter. You can select from these inputs using the
remote control or front panel controls.
Transporter has the following audio connections available:

Analog Outputs

• Unbalanced RCA connections (2Vrms/5.7Vpp, 100 ohms impedance,
with selectable attenuation)
• Balanced XLR connectors (3Vrms/8.5Vpp, 100 ohms impedance, fi xed
attenuation)

Digital Outputs and Inputs

• TOSLINK optical connector (660nm wavelength, IEC-958 / S/PDIF encoding)
• Capacitor-coupled coaxial RCA connector (500mVpp into 75 ohms, IEC-958 / S/
PDIF encoding)
• Transformer-coupled coaxial BNC connector (500mVpp into 75 ohms, IEC-958 /
S/PDIF encoding)
• Balanced XLR connector (4.7Vpp into 110 ohms, AES/EBU encoding)
• Word clock input for use with an external word clock generator

Using Transporter as a Standalone DAC

You can use Transporter as a standalone digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to convert S/PDIF
or AES/EBU signals from a CD player or other digital source to analog for connection to an
amplifi er or preamp.
When not connected to SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork (you will see Transporter
Setup on the top line of the display), use the remote control or knob to scroll to the digital
input you'd like to use then press the right arrow button, the center of the knob or the
button. That input will remain selected until you choose another or connect to SqueezeCenter
or SqueezeNetwork.
If Transporter is connected to SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork, scroll to the Digital Inputs
menu, go right, then press PLAY to use the selected input.
