LINE IN

Installing the iPod Universal Dock Adapter

Connecting a Portable Audio Device
Connect the ABX-100’s LINE IN jack on the rear panel to the portable audio device’s output jack.
Depending on the type of output jack on the portable audio device, you may need to purchase a suitable cable. The ABX-100’s LINE IN jack accepts a stereo miniplug.
Notes:
• Use a connecting cable that doesn’t have any attenuation resistors in it.
• If you connect a portable audio device’s headphone output to the ABX-100’s LINE IN jack, turn down the volume on the portable audio device before you connect it.
If the ABX-100 seems quiet even with the volume turned up, try increasing the volume on the portable audio device.
Caution Regarding Placement
Since the sound of the speakers exits the ABX-100 from the side, we recommend that you leave at least 20 cm of space at each side.
Move the slide cover to the left to expose the iPod dock.
First, with the adapter slot facing the back, fit in the front of the adapter and then press in the back until a click is heard. To remove the adapter, lift the back side up. If the adapter is difficult to remove, insert a thin object into the slot and lift the adapter up.
Use the Universal Dock Adapter that’s appropriate for your model of iPod/iPhone.
If a Universal Dock Adapter was included with your iPod, use that adapter.
If none was included, purchase the appropriate adapter separately.
Note:
• Inserting your iPod/iPhone into the dock without the appropriate adapter may damage the dock connector.

• If you have any devices that emit high-intensity radio waves near the ABX-100, such as a cellular phone that’s being used to make a call, the ABX-100 may output noise.
Audio output is intermittent when the ABX-100 is subjected to vibration.
The ABX-100 is not a portable device. Use it in a location that’s not subject to shock or vibration.
Troubleshooting—Continued

iPod/iPhone

There’s no sound.
• Make sure your iPod/iPhone is properly seated in the ABX-100’s iPod dock. Even very thin iPod/iPhone cases can prevent the iPod/iPhone from seating properly on the dock connector, so always remove any case before inserting your iPod/iPhone (see page 7).
• Make sure the ABX-100 is turned on, the input source is set to iPod, and the volume is not set too low.
• Make sure that your iPod/iPhone is compatible with the system (see page 4).
Can’t control your iPod with the ABX-100’s remote controller.
• Make sure your iPod/iPhone is properly seated in the ABX-100’s iPod dock. Even very thin iPod/iPhone cases can prevent the iPod/iPhone from seating properly on the dock connector, so always remove any case before inserting your iPod/iPhone (see page 7).
• You may not be able to control your iPod/iPhone immediately after inserting it into the ABX-100’s iPod dock. In this case, wait a few moments until your iPod/ iPhone wakes up.
• Depending on your iPod/iPhone model, its software version, or the content your playing, some functions may not work as expected (see page 9).
• If your iPod/iPhone does not work, remove it, wait a few moments, and then connect it again.
• Check whether there might be a problem with your iPod/iPhone. For an iPod touch or iPhone, make sure that the app is working correctly.

External Components

No sound is heard from your turntable.
• Make sure the turntable has a built-in phono equalizer. If the turntable doesn’t have a phono equalizer built­in, you must provide one.

Timers

The timers don’t work.
• Make sure the clock has been set correctly (see page 11).
• Timed operation will fail if the ABX-100 is already on at the specified On time, so make sure it’s set to Standby (see page 11).
• The timer may overlap with another timer. If you program two timers, make sure they don’t overlap.
• If you press the [SLEEP] or [TIMER] button while a timed operation is in progress, the timer will be cancelled and the ABX-100 won’t turn off at the specified Off time (see page 12).
• Make sure the timer is set to suitable volume setting (see page 12).

Clock

The clock displays “--:--”
• A power outage has occurred and the time setting lost. Set the clock again (see page 11). The timers will all be set to Timer Off, so you’ll need to turn on any necessary timers (see page 12). The timer settings will be preserved.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work properly.
• Replace the battery with a new one.
• The remote controller is too far away from the ABX-100, or there’s an obstacle between them (see page 5).
• The ABX-100’s remote control sensor is being subjected to bright light (inverter-type fluorescent light or sunlight).
The ABX-100 contains a microcomputer. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to malfunction or lockup. In the unlikely event that this should happen, unplug the AC adapter, wait at least 10 seconds, and then plug it back in again. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, reset the ABX-100 to its factory defaults (see page 14).
