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 iPod video model and the iPod photo model will you be able to use a composite video cable (yellow-tipped cable from the VIDEO OUT port) and a mini to stereo cable (red and white cable from the AUX OUT port) to connect your iPod to your television. On the Photo iPods, 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 Photo iPods 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.

Why can I not connect my iPod to my iLive player?
Check to see that the iPod input dock is centered before you attempt to dock your iPod into your iLive player. This can be done by moving the 30-pin iPod interface located in the center of your docking system. Adjusting this interface gives you a choice between connecting an iPod or an iPod nano. The nature of an iPod nano is that it has a 30-pin interface on its bottom which is off-center. An adjustable interface provides a way to center both your iPod and your iPod nano. With an iPod nano, make sure to move the 30-pin interface to the left to match the positioning of the Input/Output port. With an iPod shuffle, there is not a USB port with which you can charge your iPod. You can connect the iPod shuffle by using an Auxiliary Line-In cord not provided in the packaging of this model. Insert one end into the headphone jack of your iPod and the other end into AUX IN port on the back of your iLive player.

Why can I not hear any audio from my iLive docking system?
When the Auxiliary Line-In Cord is inserted into the AUX IN port you will not be able to hear your iPod. Make sure to detach this cable before using your iPod. Conversely, you will need this cable to be connected in order to use your iPod shuffle. 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. Be careful when adjusting your volume level. Higher decibel levels at close range may put you at risk for hearing damage.

Why am I unable to use the video output on my sixth generation iPod classic, third generation iPod nano, and iPod touch?
These iPod models have a new hardware requirement that prevents the user from enabling the video output. This device does not meet that hardware requirement. Within the video settings, there is an option for TV Out. The fifth generation iPod video and fourth generation iPod with color display would allow you to turn this function On to output the video (or just photos on the fourth generation iPod) from your device to be played on your television. Within these new iPods, this function is not available unless the iPod detects that it is connected to a device that meets this hardware requirement.

The Playlist up/down, Repeat button, and Shuffle controls on the remote control for this device may not function. The newest iPod software lacks compatibility with these controls.
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 some of the units can’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. We have made changes and updated our units to
be able to charge the new iPods; however, some of the older models still in
circulation won’t have this charging ability. Look for the model number on the back of the
unit and note the suffix number. Any
model with a suffix number of “E1” or higher has been updated and will charge
the new iPods. For models with no suffix
number, these will only play the iPod but won’t charge it. With these older version iLive units 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. Call us at 314-621-2881 and press option 2
for the Parts Dept to order the optional AC adaptor.
