The A0314 wall dock pre-conditions the line level audio output from the
iPod so that it can be delivered long distances over CAT5 cable to the
A0314 output wall plate. The A0314 uses active drive circuitry which
improves the noise immunity and helps maintain the signal quality to
ensure the best possible listening experience.
The convenient slide-out cradle houses the iPod dock connect which
allows signals from your iPod to be accessed without the use of messy
adaptors or cables. In addition to audio output, the dock connector
supplies signals to the S-video and composite video connectors on the
back of the wall dock, enabling easy viewing of your iPod video on a local
TV screen. See the Basic Application diagram for details.
In whole-house applications, it may be desirable to control the iPod from
different rooms of the house. This is easy with the use of the A0501
remote control which provides the same play and search functions that
are available on the iPod.
*3rd Generation iPods are not capable of being charged by this product, but audio playback will function normally.
The term iBus refers to a series of products made by Channel Vision
Technology that facilitate the integration of the popular iPod music player
into whole-house audio systems. We realize that the iPod is capable of
serving as a whole-house media source and Channel Vision’s iBus
products help deliver the iPod’s content to every room of the house.

The A0314 is a docking station designed to protect the iPod in high-use
applications. Its spring plate makes it easy to insert or remove the iPod,
while its skid-proof back plate helps to hold it in place. The removable
cover protects the music player and the built-in IR receiver makes it easy
to skip to your favorite song. Its robust construction and elegant design
make the A0314 perfect for people who want to enjoy their music while
enjoying an active lifestyle.

The buttons above the iBus
label on the A0501 remote
control will mimic the
functions on the iPod wheel.
The volume, mute, power, and source buttons
on the A0501 are designed to control Channel
Vision’s whole-house audio systems such as
the A4601 and P-1044.
Please note that this remote will only function
when your iPod is docked in the A0314 wall
dock. It can be pointed directly at the wall
dock or at an IR receiver that is part of an
external whole-house IR system. An IR-4180
cable can be used to connect the emitter
output of the whole-house IR system into the
IR IN of the A0314 output wall plate. See page
5 of this manual for a example.

1) Be sure you have connected the CAT-5 cable correctly. Follow the
TIA-568A standard at both ends. Mis-wiring can cause distorted
sound or prevent the system from working at all!
2) Be sure you have connected the speakers in phase. Follow the label
on the product. Out of phase speakers can rob the system of its
bass. Especially when driving dual-voice-coil speakers.
3) Trouble with IR control?
a. Make sure you are using the correct remote control. The A0314 will
only respond to IR signals from the Apple Remote produced by Apple
Computer or the A0501 produced by Channel Vision. Other 3rd party
remote controls are not supported.
b. Disconnect anything that is connected to the “IR IN” on the output
wall plate. Point the A0501 remote at the Wall Dock and see if you
can control the iPod. If this works, you need to troubleshoot your IR
repeating system.
c. Troubleshooting an external IR system: Some IR receivers have a
feedback LED that flashes whenever IR signals are received. If the
IR receiver you are using has this feature, check to make sure the
LED flashes whenever you press buttons on your remote control.
i. If you don’t see the feedback LED, try replacing the batteries
in your remote control.
4) The A0314 is designed to charge the iPod (see compatibility notes on
page3). When the iPod is not playing music, the screen should
indicate that the iPod is being charged. If this does not occur, make
sure the power supply is connected to the output wall plate of the
A0314.
5) Observe wiring distance specifications. The maximum
recommended wire length between the wall dock and output wall
plate is 350 feet. Although the A0314 has been proven to work at
distances of 500 feet, such extreme distances are not recommended
because erratic performance may result due to the power loss
caused by the CAT5 wire.
6) If you are experiencing problems with your iPod that occur even
when it is not docked in the A0314, then please contact Apple
customer service for support.
7) If you need additional help troubleshooting the A0314 please contact
Channel Vision technical support or check our website for more
details: www.channelvision.com.
