IN-WALL DOCKING SYSTEM for iPod™
INTRODUCTION
The Sonance iPort™ In-Wall Docking System allows an Apple iPod® to become part of a whole-home audio system, and/or to be used as a source in a variety of local audio systems. The video output allows photos and slide shows stored on iPod Photo players to be displayed on TVs and monitors anywhere in a home entertainment system. The iPort’s built-in
IR emitters allow users to operate the iPod via IR controllers (an optional
3rd-party IR receiver is required); the iPod can also be operated directly from its own controls. The iPort supplies DC power to the iPod and recharges it while it is docked.
Before using the iPort Docking System please read and follow all of the instructions in this guide carefully.

iPort REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
The Sonance iPort can supply balanced audio via the 8-pin connector, unbalanced audio via the stereo mini audio output in the base, composite video from the video mini video output in the base (for pictures and slide shows stored on iPod Photo players), and has a 5-pin connector that serves as an in-out loop for an optional low-level volume control (part#s 92126;
92127). See Figure 1 for an explanation of all the iPort’s connections.
INSTALLING THE iPort BASE CRADLE
The iPort can accommodate the 40GB Click Wheel iPod, 20GB Click
Wheel iPod iPod Photo and the iPod Mini. Each model requires a different base cradle and back plate, all of which are included with the iPort.
(The iPod Photo uses the 40GB iPod base cradle and back plate.)
Since the back plate covers the chassis mounting screws it won’t be installed until after the iPort chassis has been mounted into a wall.
Before making connections and mounting the iPort into a wall, install the appropriate base cradle (see Figure 2):
1. Find the base cradle for the model of iPod that will be used with the iPort. The model designations (‘40GB’, ‘20GB’, ‘Mini’) are molded-into the underside of each cradle.
2. Insert the base cradle into the iPort chassis with the rectangular cutout centered over the multi-pin connector in the chassis base.
3. Tilt the cradle forward slightly and fit it down on the chassis base by inserting 3 rectangular pegs on the front of the cradle into the corresponding holes on the chassis.
4. Press on the cradle’s rear panel so the 2 rear rectangular pegs snap into place.

SELECTING AN INSTALLATION LOCATION FOR THE iPort
The iPort is designed for installation and use in normal interior environments. When selecting an installation location for the iPort, please consider the following:
Important: Do NOT install the video termination wallplate in the same electrical box as AC house wiring, a light switch or any other high-voltage device or control. The wallplate can share gang boxes with other controls such as A/B speaker switches, infrared receivers and volume controls, if these other devices are rated as Class 2 devices according to the National Electrical Code.
• The iPort is not waterproof, nor is it water-resistant. Do not install the iPort outside, or in a humid or wet environment.
• The iPort cutout is 4 1 /
8
” (105mm) wide x 5 7 /
8
” (150mm) high. There also must be at least 3” (76mm) depth within the wall cavity for the iPort and its connections.
• The iPort has angled screw mounting holes on both sides that allow it to be installed up against a stud. (See Installing The iPort In A Wall, on page 7.)
• Direct sunlight can interfere with IR operation. Avoid installation locations that are in direct sunlight a portion of the day. (See IR Control
In An iPort System, on page 8.)
iPort VIDEO CONNECTIONS FOR iPod PHOTO PLAYERS
The iPort allows photos and slide shows stored on iPod Photo players to be displayed on TVs and monitors anywhere in the home. The Video
Output on the iPort base passes the iPod’s standard composite video signal (both NTSC and PAL format) through a 3.5mm mini connection.
1. Prepare a video cable of the appropriate length using RG59U cable with copper braid shielding (DO NOT use conventional CATV cable with aluminum shielding): a. Solder one end of the cable to a male RCA connector.
b. Run the cable from the iPort location through the wall to the RCA wallplate location.
c. Solder the other end of the cable to the RCA wallplate (see above).
Note: To maintain proper video quality, we recommend that the RG59U video cable be no longer than 100 feet.
2. Connect the end of the video cable with the male RCA connector to the iPort Video Output (use a male 3.5mm mini > female RCA adapter, not included).
3. Use a composite video cable to connect the RCA wallplate to the video equipment.
See Figure 5, below.
Note: The iPort video output is only active when the iPod is in Slide Show mode.
The iPort video signal should be routed to a wallplate located in the room with the video display or video distribution amplifier. We recommend fitting a single RCA connector (Sonance part# 901226) in a 1-hole wallplate (Sonance part#s 901229 – 901233) and installing this wallplate into a 2-gang box along with the iPort wallplate.

INSTALLING THE iPort IN A WALL
The Sonance iPort features an integral RotoLock® mounting system for quick mounting directly into existing walls. Once the hole is cut and the cables are run (see iPort System Connections and iPort Long Distance System Wiring
Guide), you can install the iPort in a matter of seconds.
Step 6
1. Determine the location for the iPort.
2. Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts or air returns that will interfere with the iPort.
Note: You can mount the iPort directly next to wall studs on either side (see Step 9).
3. The iPort cutout is 4 1 /
8
” (105mm) wide x 5 7 /
8
” (150mm) high. There also must be at least 3” (76mm) depth within the wall cavity for the iPort and its connections.
4. Find the cutout template provided in the iPort packaging. Position the template where the iPort is to be located and pencil an outline on the wall.
• If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center of the outline and insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel-around for possible obstructions.
Step 8
5. Cut the opening using a drywall saw.
6. Make all cable connections according to System Connections, above.
Double-check that all the connections are correct.
7. Insert the iPort into the opening in the wall.
Note: The RotoLock system can accommodate a maximum wall material thickness of 1 3 /
8
”.
8. Tighten the four RotoLock screws on the iPort chassis (2 on each side).
The RotoLock clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the iPort.
• When you notice resistance on the four screws the iPort has been clamped successfully.
Important: Always use low-torque settings — NEVER over-tighten.
9. If there are wall studs up against either side of the iPort that prevent the
RotoLock clamps from operating, secure the iPort by driving a 1½” #6 drywall screw (not provided) through the angled hole on the side of the chassis and into the wall stud.
Note: This feature is Patent Pending.

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.
