Why can I not control my mp3 player using my remote?
1. If the mp3 player you are using is not an iPod, your remote will not be able
to control your mp3 player.
2. The two auxiliary inputs are
only meant to distribute sound to a left and a right speaker as if they were
transferring an audio signal to your headphones.
3. 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 30-pin interface that other iPods
have.
4. An iPod shuffle will need to
be connected to AUX 1 or AUX 2 like any other mp3 player.

1 or AUX 2 on the back of your IT818B, using a 3.5 mm jack to stereo RCA cable.

Check to see that the iPod input dock is centered before you attempt to
dock your iPod into your iLive system. This can be done by sliding the
interface between your iPod and your iLive system. This gives you a choice
between connecting an iPod or an iPod Nano.
2. The nature of a first or
second generation iPod Nano is that it has a 30-pin interface on its bottom
which is off-center.
3. Having an adjustable input
provides a way to center both iPod and iPod Nano.
4. It is recommended that you
insert the plastic footing underneath your iPod so that you can make
adjustments to your playback, while keeping the player secure.
5. Make sure to slide the
plastic footing firmly in place.

docking insert you should use depends upon the type of iPod you have.

instruction manual for a helpful chart to tell which insert goes with which
iPod.

How do I receive better reception from my AM/FM tuner?

firmly in the FM ANT port. The black antenna with a rounded shape is your AM
antenna.
3. Clip both parts of the
antenna wire into the AM ANT port on the back of your iLive system.
4. While in the Tuner mode,
adjust the position of your antenna until you have reached optimal reception.
5. This may take some trial and
error by moving it back and forth to see which position gives you a clearer
sound to your radio.
Why can I not hear any audio from my iLive docking
system?

the same input function of AV2.

these inputs, press the FUNCTION button until AV2 appears on your LCD screen.

connections with audio players, the LINE-IN jack will have precedence over the
IN2 jack.

cable connected to LINE-IN before connecting a device to IN2.
6. You will need an auxiliary
line-in cable (3.5 mm mini to stereo RCA cable) to connect an iPod shuffle to
this system.
7. Also, there is a Volume
Limit option in the Settings menu of your iPod. Make sure that this maximum
volume is set to a range that will be audible. 8. Be careful when adjusting
your volume level. Higher decibel levels at close range may put you at risk for
hearing damage.
