The Kicker iKICK iK501 Digital Stereo System for iPhone and iPod is designed for “Livin’ Loud” with your iPod in the home environment. The iK501 is fully featured with dual full-range 5” (`127mm) Kicker drivers and 3/4” (20mm) silk dome tweeters driven by a powerful stereo amplifi er with digital signal processing. The 6” (152mm) square passive radiator (subwoofer) on the back of the iK501 balances the sonic output, adding the punchy low-frequency response that put Kicker subwoofers on the map. The rotary control and infrared remote allow simple, streamlined control of your iK501 Stereo System. The iK501 can be used with any 4th generation or newer iPod. In addition, the iK501 boasts a wide range of connectivity options including stereo RCA outputs, composite video output, and an 1/8” stereo auxiliary input for incorporating additional audio devices with your iK501 Stereo System. Note: 3rd Generation and older iPods must use the auxiliary input instead of the Docking Bay.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Read and follow all the instructions listed in this manual. Follow all safety and procedural recommendations to prevent damage to your self, your Kicker product, or your portable entertainment device.

The iK501 should not be used near water or in an environment where exposure to liquids is possible. This includes but is not exclusive to areas where splashing, dripping, leaks, spills, and exposure to rain can occur. Liquid containers should not be placed on or near the iK501 Stereo System. The iK501 Stereo System should not be cleaned with liquid cleaners. Use only a dry cloth to clean the iK501. Only use the iK501 in areas with adequate open ventilation allowing at least 4” of space on all sides of the iK501. Do not set the iK501 on any surface or cover the iK501 with any object that could impede the airfl ow to and from the iK501 Stereo System. The iK501 should not be placed near any source of heat. This includes but is not limited to stoves, radiators, heating elements, electronic heat sources, and areas where excessive solar heat can be generated. Do not install the iK501 near any fl ame or place any fl ammable objects near the device. The power outlet used to provide power to the iK501 should be accessible at all times. The polarized 2-prong electrical plug has a wide blade and narrow blade that should fi t into the corresponding wide and narrow receiving connections

of your electrical outlet. Do not force the plug into the outlet. If the plug provided with the unit does not fi t, consult with an electrician to upgrade the electrical outlet accordingly. The power cord should be situated in a way that protects it from being pinched, walked on, tripped over, or accidentally pulled from the electrical outlet or the electrical input on the iK501. Do not run the cable through doorways or underneath objects that could damage the wire or tear the insulating material surrounding the wire. Only use the manufacturer supplied power supply with the iK501. We recommend using a surge protector/power conditioner and unplugging the iK501 during any electrical storms or situations that could cause voltage fl uctuations in the electrical system.

After plugging the power supply into the DC input on the back of the iK501, the unit will be in “Standby” mode, as displayed by the LCD screen on the System Menu. Turn the power on by pushing the rotary control button once. When the power is on, both the “Kicker” logo and “Vol” will be displayed on the System Menu.

Volume: By default, the iK501 will be in volume control mode and “Vol” will be displayed on the LCD screen. Turn the rotary knob to adjust the volume up or down. The rotary control will automatically revert to volume control mode after a short time period if any other menus have been selected.

To scroll through the other menus, simply use the rotary control as a push-button. Each single button push will take you from one menu to the next, rotating through Treb>Bass>Aux-In>Vol and back to the “Treb” treble control.

Treble: To adjust the treble on the iK501, use the rotary control as a push-button to scroll through the menus until the “Treb” menu is displayed on the LCD screen. Turn the rotary control knob clockwise to increase treble and counterclockwise to reduce treble.

Bass: To adjust the bass level on the iK501, use the rotary control as a push-button to scroll through the menus until the “Bass” menu is displayed on the LCD screen. Turn the rotary control knob clockwise to increase bass and counterclockwise to reduce bass.

Auxiliary Input: To enable the auxiliary input on the iK501, an external device must be plugged into the 1/8” stereo auxiliary input on the back of the unit. Use the rotary control as a push-button and scroll through the menus until “Aux-In” is displayed. Turn the rotary control clockwise to enable the auxiliary input. When the auxiliary is enabled, the system menu will display “ON”. Turn the rotary control counter-clockwise to disable the auxiliary input and return to iPod mode. When the auxiliary input is disabled, the system menu will display “--”.

Standby: In “Standby” mode, the iK501 will be powered down, but your docked iPod will continue to charge as long as a power source is plugged into the DC input on the back of the iK501. To enter standby mode simply press and hold the rotary control button until the unit turns off and “Standby” is displayed. Note: 3rd Generation iPods are compatible with the iK501 but will not charge while docked or respond to remote control playback functions.

CONNECTINGEXTERNALDEVICES

To connect an external video display to the iK501, make sure the video output is enabled on your iPod device. Connect a standard RCA composite video cable from the composite video output on the back of the iK501 to the RCA video input on your external video display. See Figure 3. This is a pass-through connection. If there are any problems with your external video display, refer to the iPod device manual or the instructions packaged with your external video display.

To connect an external audio device to the iK501, enable Aux-In mode with the rotary control as described in the Auxiliary Input section on the previous page. Connect your line level device to the 1/8” stereo input on the back of the iK501 with the included auxiliary cable. See Figure 2. If the sound is distorted, you may be overdriving the auxiliary input. Try turning down the external device until the sound is no longer distorted. Note: 1st – 3rd Generation iPods require the use of the auxiliary input for audio playback.
