Welcome and thank you for choosing Bowers & Wilkins.

When John Bowers first established our company he did so in the belief that imaginative design,

innovative engineering and advanced technology were keys that could unlock the enjoyment of audio

in the home. His belief is one that we continue to share and it inspires every product we design.

Zeppelin Mini is more than just an iPod and iPhone dock and speaker system. As well as listening

to audio stored on your iPod or iPhone you can use it to:

Connect and listen to an external audio source. •

Play audio stored or streamed on your computer via USB. •

Sync your iPod or iPhone to iTunes via USB. •

Rotate the docked iPod or iPhone 90° to display album covers using Cover Flow or watch video •

in landscape format.*

* On appropriately equipped iPod and iPhone models.

This manual will tell you everything you need to know to get the most from your Zeppelin Mini. It begins
