7. On the setup page, you have the option to change the A7's name. Enter a new name if desired.

Note: If the A7 fails to connect to your home wireless network, double-check the network password you entered. If necessary, you can perform a factory reset by pressing and holding the reset button on the rear panel for 2 seconds. Refer to the manual for more information on the factory reset procedure.
Once your A7 is connected to your wireless network, you can configure iTunes to use it as an output device for streaming audio. Select the A7 as an output option in the AirPlay menu within iTunes. Your music will now play through the A7 wirelessly.
