How do you set the
clock?
- In Power ‘OFF’ mode, Press and hold the “MEM/CLK
ADJ” button until a blinking display that reads, "12 Hr,"
reveals itself. This is an option of whether or not you would like your
clock to display the standard 12 hour clock or the 24 hour clock commonly
used by the military. For example, 1:30 p.m. would read 13:30 and 8:45
p.m. would read 20:45.
- Choose which mode you would prefer by pressing
the “REV/TUNE DN” and “FWD/ TUNE UP” buttons.
- Once you have selected your hour mode of
choice press the “MEM/CLK ADJ” button to set an hour. Scroll up or down
using the “REV/TUNE DN” and “FWD/ TUNE UP” buttons. Press the “MEM/CLK ADJ”
to select the hours place. Then, repeat this step for the minutes place.
Why does my iPod
shuffle not play when I plug it into the iPod shuffle port?
- Check to see that your iPod shuffle is plugged
into the port labeled “iPod shuffle”. This port only provides a way to
charge your 1st Generation iPod shuffle.
- Next, plug the Auxiliary Line-In Cord (the
white cord that has a single input and a single output) connect the
headphone jack of your 1st Generation iPod shuffle into the
port marked “AUX” on the front of your iLive player.
- Press the “FUNCTION” button until you're in
the auxiliary mode. The display will read “AUX” in the upper left-hand
corner of your iLive display. Note that you cannot use your iLive remote
to control your iPod shuffle.
Why is the track
number on the display of my iLive player blinking two dashes instead of playing
a CD?
- Check to see if your CD is flipped upside
down. The CD label side should be facing the clock of your iLive player.
- Also, the CD may be scratched or dirty.
There's not much you can do about a scratched disk. They have CD repair
kits available at your local electronics supplier. If the disc is dirty,
use soft linen or a store-purchased cloth meant for disc cleaning.
- Another possibility for this error may be that
your iLive player cannot recognize the type of files on your recordable
CD. Make sure that the files on your CD-R are in the CD Audio Tracks
(.CDA-uncompressed) format rather than the .mp3 or .wma (compressed)
format.
- This iLive player will not recognize JPEG,
mp3, or wma files unless they are played through your iPod or other mp3
player.
Why doesn't my iPod
stop playing music after I've pressed the STOP button on my iLive player?
- There is no STOP playback function on the iPod
itself so there cannot be a way to communicate the command of STOP to your
iPod.
- Instead, iPods have a choice between
PLAY/PAUSE and a sleep or standby mode.
- The purpose of the STOP button is to control
the CD player.
Why cannot I control
my mp3 player using my remote?
- If the mp3 player you are using is not an
iPod, your remote will not be able to control your mp3 player. The
auxiliary port (AUX) is only meant to distribute sound to two speakers as
if it were transferring an audio signal to your headphones.
- If you are using an iPod shuffle, you will not
be able to control the playback using your remote because the shuffle
model does not have the same interface that other iPods have. You are able
to charge your iPod shuffle by inserting it into the port marked iPod
SHUFFLE. However, you will need to insert the Auxiliary Line-In Cord into
the headphone jack of your iPod shuffle and connect the other end to the
AUX port on the front of your iLive player.
How do I connect my
iLive player to my television?
- There is a video output on the back of your
iLive player. However, only on the 5th Generation iPod video
model and the 4th Generation iPod photo model will you are able
to use a composite video cable (yellow-tipped cable) to connect your iPod
to your television.
- On the4th Generation iPods photo, go to
Photos. Then, go to the Slideshow Settings. From there, scroll down and
set the TV Out option to ON. Make sure that the Output Signal is set to
NTSC as well. Go into your Photo Library and select the photos you wish to
see on your television screen. This option is right below the TV Out
option.
- On the Video iPods, proceed the same way as
the iPods photo to view your photographs. To view videos, go to Videos.
Scroll down to and select Video Settings. From there, scroll down and set
the TV Out option to ON. Make sure that the Output Signal is set to NTSC
as well. You may want to turn the Widescreen option to Off if you do not
have a widescreen television.

6th Generation iPod Classic & iPod Touch.

How do I use the
TIMER function?
- The TIMER function is used to set a time that
you would like to have your iLive player turn ON if the iLive system was
OFF in the first place. It's also able to set a time you would like the
system to turn OFF if it was ON in the first place.

I have one of
the new iPods (Nano 4th gen. or iTouch 2nd gen.). Are these compatible with this unit?
The new iPods are compatible and
will play on this unit but it won’t charge the iPod.
This is due to recent changes by Apple on new
iPods after our unit was released.
The
battery life on the new iPods is greatly improved requiring less frequent
charging.
With this older version iLive
unit you will need to charge your iPod via the computer using the provided USB
cord.
Alternatively, you can purchase an
AC adaptor we offer at special savings that will charge your iPod.
