iFi SPEAKER SYSTEM
signal from the dock, whether from the iPod or from that auxil-
iary input, so that both sources are heard simultaneously. This
allows for, as an example, the sound from your computer to be
heard while music is playing from an iPod in the dock.
Subwoofer and Speaker Placement
Although you can place the components of the iFi system almost
any way that’s convenient, speaker location will affect sound
quality. The subwoofer will generally perform best when placed
on the floor in a corner, if that’s feasible. A good second option is
to place it six to 12 inches from a wall. The farther it is moved
toward the middle of the room, the lower the bass output.
You will get the best stereo effect with the satellite speakers
placed equidistant from the listening position. Wide separation
will tend to make the sound more spacious. If possible, avoid
locating either satellite closer than two feet to a side wall. Place
them at seated ear height, or, if that is not practical, adjust the
stands’ ball joints to aim the satellites up or down toward the
listening position.
RF Remote Control
Your radio-frequency (RF) remote control comes matched to the
iFi dock with its battery already installed. If you find the remote
control is not properly configured to run the iFi system, see the
“Remote Control Operation” section for instructions on synching
the dock with the remote control.
SYSTEM OPERATION
Power
The Main Power switch on the rear of the iFi subwoofer must be
on for the system to operate. You can switch the system
between Standby and On modes from the control dock and from
Standby to On with the remote control. The Power LED on the
control dock will glow amber in Standby mode and green when
the system is On. No light indicates that the Master Power switch
on the subwoofer is turned off or that the power cord is
unplugged.
Standby/Mute button
In Standby mode, pushing the Standby/Mute button will switch
the iFi system On. If an iPod is in the dock, it will be turned on
as well.
When the system is On, pressing the Standby/Mute button will
mute the sound and pause the iPod. Pressing the button again
will unmute the system. Pressing and holding the Standby/Mute
button will switch the system to Standby. In Standby mode, the
iPod will continue to charge.
Volume/Subwoofer Select button
The default function of the Volume knob is to adjust the overall
sound level up and down, but it can also be used to adjust the
subwoofer output relative to the satellites.
To adjust the subwoofer level, first push the Volume/Subwoofer
Select button, then turn the Volume knob. The Light Bar will now
indicate the relative subwoofer level. Pressing the Volume/
Subwoofer Select button again will switch the knob back to
master volume control, or after five seconds, the system will
automatically revert.
Light Bar
The light bar on the control dock indicates current master
volume or subwoofer level, depending on the setting of the
Volume/Subwoofer Select button. Volume is indicated by
consecutive LEDs, from left to right. Muting the system turns all
the LEDs off.
When subwoofer level is being adjusted, the light bar will
indicate the relative subwoofer level as shown below.
