Receiver. Connect the Video Output directly to a TV.

2. Connect the Left and Right Audio Outputs and Video Output to a TV.

Control Connections

IR Control

The VIA!migo may be controlled by IR or RS-232. IR control is the simplest
connection and will provide all control options but WILL NOT provide feed­back when used with Olé Touchpads. Feedback, in the case of IR controlled
applications, occurs on a TV or VIA! Touch Panel dispaly.

Use a mono 3.5mm interconnect cable between an IR Out port from an ELAN
Multi-Room Controller or other IR device and the Remote In port on the
VIA!migo as shown in Figure 5.

RS-232 Control

RS-232 serial control provides reliable control from VIA! Touch Panels and
Olé Touchpads. In addition to control capabilities, RS-232 control allows
Olé Touchpads to display feedback (Title, Track, etc.). An ELAN SS1 System
Station is required to display feedback on Olé Touchpads. Use the included
RJ-45 to DB-9 Adaptor when connecting the VIA!migo to the SS1.

Note: Maximum distance between the VIA!migo and an SS1 is 300'.

Connecting VIA!migo to an ELAN Multi-Room
Controller

Remotely Located Source

VIA!migo connects to ELAN’s Multi-Room Controllers as a Source much like
a DVD player, VCR, or cable box. Figure 8 shows the VIA!migo hooked up
to an ELAN System12 using Cat-5 to connect an LSWP (Local Source Wall
Plate Kit to pass Audio, Video and IR between the VIA!migo and the S12
chassis using Cat-5.

Connecting To Your A/V System

To connect to your A/V System with or without a VIA! Touch Panel:

1. Plug the included AC power adapter into the back of the VIA!migo
base, and the other end into any available AC power outlet.

2. Plug the A/V Cable into the back of the VIA!migo base. Be sure to
match the color on the A/V plugs (Red, White and Yellow) with the
corresponding jack color or input type.

3. Plug the other end of the A/V Cable into the corresponding jacks of
any available input on the A/V system. (White plug - Left Audio, Red
plug - Right Audio and Yellow plug - Video).

When connecting the VIA!migo to an ELAN Multi-Room System, it is treated
exactly like any other Audio/Video source for purposes of audio and video
connections.

NOTE: The S-Video Out connection can be used for even better
video performance (S-Video cable not included).

4. If using a VIA! Touch Panel, use it to select and turn on your
VIA!migo. Also turn on your home stereo and select the correct input

Connecting Your iPod

Adjusting VIA!migo to Fit Your iPod

The VIA!migo can fit any dockable iPod. It can even be used with many iPod
protective cases left on. The first time you use your iPod, and if you ever

1. Loosen the Support Stand screw and slide the Support Stand as far
back as it can go;

2. Connect your iPod by carefully lowering it onto the iPod dock
connector of the VIA!migo.

3. Slide the Support Stand toward the iPod until the iPod is gently rest
ing against the Support Stand Pad. The back of the iPod should be
parallel to the Support Stand and not leaning forward or backward.

4. Tighten the Support Stand Screw to keep in place. DO NOT
overtighten.

There are two ways to use Shuffle with your VIA!migo in On-Screen
Navigation Music Mode:

1. To immediately begin shuffling your entire Music Library, select
Shuffle Songs from the VIA!migo Home Menu.

2. Shuffle your music in any song list, such as Playlists, Artists, Albums,
Songs, etc. Simply press the Shuffle button on a VIA! Touch Panel
and the VIA!migo will then randomly select and play songs from
the current list. The Shuffle icon will appear in the right corner of the
Status Bar when you are playing songs in Shuffle Mode.

Speed-Scroll Functions

Since your iPod might contain thousands of songs, the VIA!migo features
a handy Speed-Scroll feature that lets you rapidly scroll through large lists
in seconds. By holding the Down Navigation Arrow or Up Navigation Arrow
button, your VIA!migo will scroll through several screens of selections and
then begin Speed Scrolling through multiple pages until you arrive at your
particular choice.

FAQs

FAQ Answer

Does the VIA!migo
charge battery in my
iPod?

Yes. The VIA!migo fully charges and powers
your iPod whenever your iPod is connected.

Do I have to use a TV
with the VIA!migo?

No. The VIA!migo is a music-based, remote
controlled home docking system for your iPod
that requires nothing but a stereo or pow­ered speakers to play your iPod media. Of
course, to get the most out of your VIA!migo,
you should connect it to a TV, VIA! Touch
Panel and home stereo or ELAN Multi-Room
System. Remember, in order to use Dock
Mode with On-Screen Music Navigation to
select and choose your music, you have to
connect your VIA!migo to your TV or VIA!
Touch Panel.

FAQ Answer

Where are my Podcasts
when I’m using on­screen navigation?

The VIA!migo categorizes your Podcasts
under Genres. Just select Genres from the
Music Menu and find the Podcast you’d like
to hear. If you want, you can organize your
Podcasts into a Playlist in iTunes and then
access them on your television using the
VIA!migo.

NOTE: Your iPod will sometimes orga­nize certain Podcasts under Albums
or Artists, so be sure to check there
as well.

My VIA!migo isn’t
working...

Possible Solution

IR not working. 1. Ensure that the DB-9 to RJ-45 Adaptor

used is the one that came with the VIA!migo.
Disconnect the adaptor and resend IR
command.

2. If the Dock is near IR interference (Plasma
TV, LCD TV, sunlight, etc.) the IR Receiver
Window may be flooded. Cover the IR
Window and use the 3.5mm IR Input port.

Video Output is unread­able.

See p. 33 for steps necessary to switch
between NTSC and PAL video formats.

iPod will not sync with
dock.

Ensure iPod compatibility (p. 7) and has the
latest firmware from Apple.

Appendix B:
Auxiliary Input

The VIA!migo has an available Auxiliary Input on the side of the docking
station. This stereo 3.5 mm mini jack allows input from an outside source to
pass through the Left/Right audio outputs of the docking station.

When this Auxiliary Input is used, it bypasses the iPod signal until the
input jack has been removed. If the 3.5 mm mini jack is inserted while the
iPod is docked and playing that will also cause the iPod audio signal to be
bypassed.
