SYSTEM SETUP
Control Dock
The iFi system comes with five adapters that allow different model
iPods to work with the control dock. Each adapter is labeled to
identify the
“size” iPod it is meant to fit. Depending on the age of
your iPod, the model that you have may not correspond to the size
as listed on the bottom of the adapters. The guide below will help
in choosing the appropriate insert for your particular model of iPod.

Basic System Connections
The control dock and the two satellite speakers connect to the
amplifier on the rear of the subwoofer which powers the
entire system.
Choose the adapter that matches your iPod and insert it into the
top of the dock until it is snugly in place with the slot centered over
the multipin docking connector.
Your iPod should now fit easily but securely into the top of the dock
with the multipin connector at the base of the slot sliding into the
socket along the iPod’s bottom edge.The iFi dock will flex slightly
to relieve stress on the connector when you insert your iPod.
To avoid damage, do not apply excessive force when inserting
the iPod.
All iPod functions are available when it is in the iFi dock.
• Turn the Power switch on the subwoofer’s back panel Off and
unplug the AC power cord.
• The control dock has an attached cable. Connect the end of
that cable to the matching jack on the subwoofer.
• Use the supplied twin-conductor speaker cables to connect
the satellite speakers to the binding-post output terminals on
the subwoofer’s back panel. Follow these directions carefully
to ensure correct operation. Loosen the nuts on the speaker
binding posts until the holes through the metal posts are
fully exposed. For each conductor, insert the bare wire at the
end through one of the binding post holes and screw the nut
on the post down finger-tight against the wire. Make
sure that no strands of bare wire touch between adjacent
black and red binding posts as this may cause amplifier
malfunction or damage. Also be sure that the conductor
attached to the black (negative) terminal on each satellite is
attached to the matching black spring clip on the subwoofer
panel and that the red (positive) terminal on each satellite is
connected to the matching red spring clip on the subwoofer
panel. Reversing these connections (black to red and red to
black) will reduce bass output and impair overall sound quality.
The dashed line on the speaker cable will help in making
a correct connection.
• Attach the female end of the power cord to the matching
socket on the subwoofer and the male end to an AC
wall outlet.
• The speakers can be used with or without their grilles
attached. The grilles are held in place by magnetic catches.
To remove a grille, pull it forward; to replace, line its edges
up with the speaker’s front panel and let it snap into position.
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove the subwoofer
grille as it is permanently attached.
