Using Your iPod Hi-Fi

Read on to learn about connecting iPod to your iPod Hi-Fi, connecting other audio devices, adjusting the sound, using the Apple Remote, and more.

Connecting iPod

You can connect any iPod to your iPod Hi-Fi. If your iPod has a dock connector, you can insert it into your iPod Hi-Fi. If your iPod doesn’t have a dock connector, you can use an audio cable to connect it to the audio input port (see page 16).

To connect an iPod with a dock connector:

Insert the dock adapter that fits your iPod, and then connect your iPod as shown on page 14. The status light blinks green.

Your iPod Hi-Fi includes dock adapters that work with most models of iPod with dock connectors. If you want to connect a different iPod, you can easily remove the dock adapter from your iPod Hi-Fi using a fingernail, insert the adapter that fits the other iPod, and then insert the other iPod.

If there is no dock adapter for your model of iPod included with your iPod Hi-Fi, you can purchase one at www.apple.com/ipodstore.

Changing iPod Screen Settings

With some newer iPod models, you can set how the backlight behaves when iPod is connected to your iPod Hi-Fi. You can also set whether you see the Now Playing screen or album artwork on iPod. You’re able to change these settings if you see a Speakers item in the main menu when you connect your iPod.

To set how the backlight behaves, choose Speakers and follow these instructions:

To set the backlight to be on when music is playing,

Connecting Other Audio Devices or an iPod Without a Dock Connector

Your iPod Hi-Fi has a digital/analog audio input port. You can use it to play music from an iPod that doesn’t have a dock connector, or from other audio devices, such as a CD player, stereo receiver, or computer. If you have an AirPort Express Base Station, you can connect it to your iPod Hi-Fi and play music from a computer in another room.

To play music from another audio device through your iPod Hi-Fi:

Connect an audio cable to the audio input port on your iPod Hi-Fi and to a line-level port or headphones port on the device.

WARNING:

Distortion may occur if you connect your iPod Hi-Fi to a device with an output higher than 2V (volts) RMS. Do not connect your iPod Hi-Fi to the speaker outputs from another device. You could damage your iPod Hi-Fi.

Turn on the device and begin playing music from it. See the documentation that came with the device for more information.

Chapter 3

Using Your iPod Hi-Fi

To switch playback from an iPod to a device connected to the audio input port:

If an iPod with a dock connector and an audio device are connected to your iPod Hi-Fi at the same time, your iPod Hi-Fi plays music from the iPod by default.

Press and hold the Menu button on the remote. The status light blinks green, and the iPod pauses. To switch back to the iPod, press and hold the Menu button again.

You can also remove your iPod to switch to a device connected to the audio input port.

To play audio from your computer using your iPod Hi-Fi:

You can connect an AirPort Express Base Station to your iPod Hi-Fi and stream audio wirelessly from a computer in another room. For more information, go to www.apple.com/airportexpress.

In most cases, you can also connect a computer directly to your iPod Hi-Fi using an audio cable. If you have a computer with optical digital audio, such as a Mac Pro or a MacBook Pro, you can connect it using an optical digital cable for better quality sound.

Adjusting the Sound

To adjust the volume:

Press the Volume Up (∂) or Volume Down (D) button on top of your iPod Hi-Fi or on the included remote.

With some newer models of iPod, you can also adjust the volume using the iPod Click Wheel.

18 Chapter 3

Using Your iPod Hi-Fi

If you connect another audio device that has volume controls to the audio input port, such as a stereo receiver, you can also change the volume using the other device. Experiment to see which volume level sounds best when using the device with your iPod Hi-Fi.

To change equalizer settings:

If you’re playing music through an iPod, change the settings on the iPod. Choose Settings > EQ and choose an equalizer preset.

If you’re playing music through a device connected to the audio input port, change equalizer settings on the device, if possible. See the documentation that came with the device.

To increase the bass or the treble:

With some newer models of iPod, you can also set your iPod Hi-Fi to increase the bass or the treble. You’re able to adjust this setting if you see a Speakers item in the main menu when you connect your iPod.

Choose Speakers > Tone Control, and then choose Treble Boost, Normal, or Bass Boost.

Pairing Your iPod Hi-Fi with the Remote

The included Apple Remote works with other compatible Apple products that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. You can set your iPod Hi-Fi to work only with the included remote so that remotes for your other devices don’t affect your iPod Hi-Fi.

You may wish to pair your other Apple Remote–compatible devices with other Apple Remotes so that the remote you use with your iPod Hi-Fi doesn’t affect those devices. See the documentation that came with the other devices for instructions.

To set your iPod Hi-Fi to work only with the included remote:

Connect your iPod Hi-Fi to an electrical outlet.

Note:

If your iPod Hi-Fi has batteries, you don’t need to connect it to an outlet.

Make sure other products that are compatible with the remote are not in range, and hold the remote close to your iPod Hi-Fi (about 3 to 4 inches away).

Press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward (‘) buttons on the remote simultaneously for about six seconds. The status light blinks green several times.

Your iPod Hi-Fi now works only with the paired remote.

To reset your iPod Hi-Fi to work with all Apple Remotes:

Follow steps 1 and 2 above. Then press and hold the Menu and Previous/Rewind (]) buttons on the remote simultaneously for about six seconds. The status light blinks green several times.

Your iPod Hi-Fi now works with all Apple Remotes.

Using Your iPod Hi-Fi

Saving Battery Life

When not in use, your iPod Hi-Fi enters a low-power standby mode to save battery life. However, if you don’t plan to use your iPod Hi-Fi for an extended period, you may wish to remove the batteries to extend battery life even longer. For information on changing the batteries, see page 12.

Note:

If you are using your iPod Hi-Fi with batteries (and not plugged into an electrical outlet) and you connect an iPod with a dock connector, the batteries in your iPod Hi-Fi will provide a minimum charge to iPod. If you don’t want the batteries in your iPod Hi-Fi to expend power when iPod isn’t playing, remove iPod from your iPod Hi-Fi. If your iPod Hi-Fi is plugged into an electrical outlet, the iPod battery charges until it is fully charged.

Chapter 3

Using Your iPod Hi-Fi

Tips and Troubleshooting

Most problems with your iPod Hi-Fi can be solved quickly by following the advice in this chapter.

If your iPod Hi-Fi won’t play music or respond

Â Make sure the volume isn’t turned down all the way. If another audio device is

connected, make sure the volume on that device isn’t turned down all the way.

Â Unplug your iPod Hi-Fi, wait about five seconds, and plug it in again. Make sure the

power cord connectors on both ends of the power cord are pushed in all the way.

Â If you’re using batteries, make sure the batteries are inserted correctly. Â If an iPod and another audio device are connected, make sure your iPod Hi-Fi is set to

play from the device you want (see page 18).

Â The batteries may need to be replaced (see page 12).

If your iPod won’t respond

Â Make sure the Hold switch is off and your iPod is not paused. Â Reset your iPod. Connect iPod to your iPod Hi-Fi, set the Hold switch to HOLD, and

then turn it off again. Then press and hold the Center and Menu buttons for about six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Note: If you have an original iPod with a dock connector (with four buttons below the display), press and hold the Play/Pause (’) and Menu buttons to reset it.

Â If that doesn’t work, see the documentation that came with your iPod for more

information.

If the remote isn’t working

Â Make sure to point the remote directly at your iPod Hi-Fi. Â Make sure the remote sensor on the front panel of your iPod Hi-Fi (see page 10) is not

blocked.

Â Make sure you can play music through your iPod Hi-Fi using the iPod controls. The

problem may not be with the remote.

Â The remote battery may need to be replaced (see page 21). Â If you have more than one Apple Remote and you have paired your iPod Hi-Fi with

one of them, make sure you’re using the right remote. For instructions on setting your iPod Hi-Fi to work with any Apple Remote, see page 22.

If your iPod Hi-Fi isn’t playing music from another device

Â Make sure the volume on the device and on your iPod Hi-Fi isn’t turned down all the

way.

Â If an iPod is connected to your iPod Hi-Fi, disconnect it, or press and hold the Menu

button on the remote until the status light blinks green.

Â Make sure you’re using the correct audio cable (see page 16) and that it is connected

firmly to your iPod Hi-Fi and to the device.

Â Make sure the device is turned on and functioning correctly. See the documentation

that came with the device for more information.
