This Service Manual applies to original SoundDock systems built before 8/8/08, DOM 8221. For SoundDock systems built after 8/8/08, use the new SoundDock manual with “USB iPod Charging” part number 277378-SM_USB.
To determine the SoundDock version, use the date of manufacture (DOM) encoded within the serial number located
on the product label
Serial Number example 0402509
Characters 8 to 11 identifiy the DOM - 7342
7342 = the 342nd day of 2007
Both products share the same name and most of the same mechanical assemblies. However, the electronics are
not interchangeable.
1. Parts that have special safety characteristics are identified by the symbol on schematics
or by special notes on the parts list. Use only replacement parts that have critical characteristics
recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Make leakage current or resistance measurements to determine that exposed parts are
acceptably insulated from the supply circuit before returning the unit to the customer.
Use the following checks to perform these measurements:
A. Leakage Current Hot Check-With the unit completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord
directly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.) Use a
leakage current tester or a metering system that complies with American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) C101.1 “Leakage Current for Appliances” and Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
UL6500 / UL60065 / IEC 60065 paragraph 9.1.1. With the unit powered on, measure from a
known earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the unit
(antennas, handle bracket, metal cabinet, screw heads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.),
especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 milliamp. Reverse the unit power cord plug in the outlet and
repeat test. ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS SPECIFIED HEREIN INDICATE
A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD THAT MUST BE ELIMINATED BEFORE RETURNING THE
UNIT TO THE CUSTOMER.
B. Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplug the power supply and connect a jumper
wire between the two prongs of the plug. (2) Turn on the power switch of the unit. (3) Measure
the resistance with an ohmmeter between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic
cabinet part on the unit. When testing 3 wire products, the resistance measured to the product
enclosure should be between 2 and infinite MOhms. Also, the resistance measured to exposed
input/output connectors should be between 4 and infinite MOhms. When testing 2 wire products, the resistance measured to exposed input/output connectors should be between 4 and
infinite MOhms. If it is not within the limits specified, there is the possibility of a shock hazard,
and the unit must be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.
CAUTION: The Bose® SoundDock® Digital Music System contains
no user-serviceable parts. To prevent warranty infractions,
refer servicing to warranty service stations or factory service.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SoundDock®is a powered acoustic package for current and future versions of Apple’s iPod portable
MP3 player. It takes the design form of a “picture frame” - a rectangular speaker package that allows
the iPod to dock into the middle. SoundDock with docked iPod is an elegant, highly functional, and
great-sounding system for use in the living room, kitchen, or bedroom. Bose
factured the product with input from Apple. Apple and Bose will advertise and sell the product.
There are 4 adapters shipped with the product.

DEVICE HANDLING
This unit contains ESDS devices. We recommend the following precautions when repairing,
replacing or transporting ESDS devices:
• Perform work at an electrically grounded work station.
• Wear wrist straps that connect to the station or heel straps that connect to conductive
floor mats.
• Avoid touching the leads or contacts of ESDS devices or PC boards even if properly
grounded. Handle boards by the edges only.
• Transport or store ESDS devices in ESD protective bags, bins, or totes. Do not insert
unprotected devices into materials such as plastic, polystyrene foam, clear plastic bags,
bubble wrap or plastic trays.
WARRANTY
The Bose
®
SoundDock® Digital Music System is covered by a limited 1-year transferable warranty.
PART LIST NOTES
1. This part is not normally available from Customer Service. Approval from the Field Service
Manager is required before ordering.
2. The individual parts located on the PCBs are listed in the Electrical Part List.
3. This part is critical for safety purposes. Failure to use a substitute replacement with the
same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part might create shock, fire
and/or other hazards.
4. This part is referenced for informational purposes only. It is not stocked as a repair part. Refer
to the next higher assembly for a replacement part.

USB UPDATE PROCEDURE
The SoundDock Digital Music System changed
the way it charges the iPod in October of 2008.
The system now charges via the USB charge
pins on the iPod.
This change was based on information received
from Apple describing a change to the iPod
charge circuit. iPods manufactured before 8/08
have the ability to charge via Firewire and USB,
some new iPods introduced in November of
2008 will not support the Firewire charge circuit.
It is possible to upgrade SoundDock systems
built before 8/08 from Firewire to USB charging
by replacing the Dock and DSP boards with the
upgraded versions. Use this procedure to upgrade older systems to USB charging.
Equipment Required
a. DSP board / Cradle Assy -
Black - 279103-008
White - 279103-010
b. Phillips-head screw driver
c. Bose Logo
Black - 277381-002
White - 277381-001
2. Grille and Amplifier board Removal
2.1 Remove the grille by pushing upward as
shown above.
2.2 Remove the four Phillips-head screws
securing the amp board to the acoustic
enclosure.
3. Install the DSP/Cradle Upgrade Assembly
1. Original Dock Removal
1.1 Remove the four Phillips-head screws
securing the bottom cradle cover.
3.2 Connect the flex cable to J300 on the new
upgrade assembly and install the cradle along
with the amplifier board.
3.3 Install Bose logo on the front of the cradle.
3.4 Fully test with iPod to confirm correct
operation.
1.2 Remove cable connected to J300.

NEW IPOD CHARGING CIRCUIT
The original SoundDock® Digital Music System charges the iPod with the Firewire connection pins
on the dock assembly. Pin 11 of the Dock connector is used to charge the iPod Battery and pin 13 is
used to detect the iPod is placed on the cradle.

2.1 Remove the cover from the Cradle Assy
and note the orientation of the 24 conductor
FF cable prior to disconnecting it from the
Digital Signal Processor (DSP) PCB. Ensure
that the foam protection on the cable is
facing the cradle cover upon reinstallation.
See figure 5.1.

FAIL if any air leaks can be heard at a distance
>1ft (0.3M) from any exterior surface of the
enclosure.
1.5 Reduce the input signal to zero volts.
2. Left Right Driver Test

press & hold the Volume Down button.
Verify that the SoundDock responds to the
commands.
4.3 Using the Volume Up button, momentarily
press & hold the Volume Up button.
Verify that the SoundDock responds to the
