IR CONTROL IN AN iPort SYSTEM
The iPort has built-in IR emitters that allow it to relay IR control signals
to the iPod from Sonance OptiLinQ products or distributed audio systems
like the DAB1 and Navigator Harbor. Through these systems, the iPort/iPod
can be controlled by the K2, K1, DAB1 and Navigator keypads. See Figure 7
for connections.
In local zone systems, IR signals from a local IR controller can be injected on
the iPort’s +IR (Data) and –IR (GND) connections. See Figure 6 for details.
iPort IR control codes for the K2, K1, DAB1 and Navigator keypads can be
downloaded for free at the Sonance website (www.sonance.com). These
codes allow extensive remote control of the iPod: Play, Pause, Next
Track/Fast-Forward, Previous Track/Fast-Rewind, Mute (Toggle)
Next/Previous Chapter (Album), Next/Previous Play List, Power Off,
Power On, Repeat, Shuffle, Stop, Volume Up/Down (headphone only).
Important: The iPort requires the naviPod™ IR receiver (not included) to
control the iPod via IR. The naviPod IR receiver can be purchased online
from the Apple iStore, ClubMac.com or DrBott.com. The naviPod must be
connected to the iPod before the iPod is docked in the iPort.
Note: Painting the iPort may hinder IR operation. Please see the iPort Technical
Bulletin for details.
CONTROLLING VOLUME IN iPort SYSTEMS
Volume in a Local (single-zone) iPort system can be controlled by:
• At the local zone’s amplifier or with amplified volume controls (such as
the Sonance AVC100 series), depending on system configuration.
• Installing an (optional) Sonance low-level volume control in the iPort system.
Volume in a Long-Distance (multi-zone) iPort system can be controlled by:
• Volume controls in each local zone (determined by system configuration).
• Zone volume controls on the distributed audio system controller.
Note: The iPod volume control only controls the iPod’s headphone jack.
