Unpacking and Setting Up Your i-DS²

Carefully unpack the i-DS². If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use. Be sure to keep your purchase receipt in a safe place, as it may be required for warranty purposes.

In the box you should find the i-DS², the remote control, power cord, and seven iPod dock adapters.

Placement

Your Horizon i-DS² will sound great just about anywhere. But if you put it near a wall or corner the bass response will be enhanced. Don't block the bass port on the rear of the cabinet. Avoid placing the i-DS² where it will be in direct sunlight.

Power Connection

Just connect the power cord to the back of the Horizon i-DS² and plug it into the wall power outlet.

Docking Your iPod

The Horizon i-DS² is supplied with seven docking adapters. These fit in the docking well in the top of the i-DS² to support various iPod models. The table below lists the iPod models and the docking adapters to use with them. The number of the docking adapter is molded into the back of the part. Place the appropriate adapter in the docking well and plug your iPod into the dock.

iPod Model (Capacity) Adapter Number
iPod photo (40 / 60GB), iPod with color display (60GB)	7
iPod nano (2 / 4GB) 8
5G and U2 iPod (30 GB with video), iPod classic (80GB)	9

-1+ Increases or decrease the volume level.

When your iPod is docked in the i-DS² the jog wheel does not change the volume. The iPod navigation controls - ▶, ▶ and ▶ work as they normally do.

About the Remote Control

The supplied remote control is usually the most convenient way to operate the i-DS².

Press to turn the i-DS ^2 on or off.

Press to start play or pause play.

Press to decrease sound volume. Press and hold for faster adjustment.

Press once to return to the beginning of the current track. Press twice to skip to the beginning of the previous track. Press and hold to scan backward within a track.

Note: When you unpack your remote control there will be a plastic insulation tab extending from the battery compartment. Pull out this tab before using the remote control.

There must be an unobstructed line of sight to the front of the i-DS² when using the remote control. Point the remote control at the front panel of the i-DS², when pressing the buttons. For best results you should be within 20 feet of the unit and no more than 45^ off axis. Being in a brightly lit room can reduce the sensitivity of the i-DS² to remote control commands.

note: Eventually you'll need to replace the remote battery. If the remote doesn't reliably operate the i-DS², put in a new CR2025 3V lithium coin type battery.

Connecting Other Equipment

USB Port Connection

The USB port lets you sync your iPod with iTunes while it is docked in the i-DS². Connect the i-DS² to the USB port on your computer. Typically this is done with a USB-A to USB-B type cable, the kind used to connect most printers.

Using Aux Inputs

Other audio equipment, such as a portable CD player or older iPod models that do not have the universal docking adapter, can be connected to the i-DS² through the rear panel Aux input. You'll need a cable that has a stereo 1/8-inch plug on one end to connect to the i-DS² Aux input. The other end of the cable could have another stereo 1/8-inch plug or two RCA plugs depending on the type of output jacks on the other unit.

Using the Video Output

If your iPod can store video or photos you can view them on an external television when it is docked to the i-DS². Connect a standard RCA plug cable between the Video output of the i-DS² and the composite video input of your television. Typically the composite video input of a television is color coded yellow. Refer to the manual for your television for information on this input and how to use it.

Maintenance and Service

The i-DS² enclosures may be cleaned using a soft cloth to remove fingerprints or to wipe off dust. All wiring connections should be inspected and remade at least once a year.

In the event that your speakers ever need service, contact your local Boston Acoustics dealer or visit www.bostonacoustics.com/dealers for a list of dealers in your area.
