6.1 Input for iPod/other portable music players

Section 6 - Additional Connectivity

On the front right-side panel, there is a 3.5mm jack (F4). This is for the connection of an iPod or any other portable
music device for music playback through this medium.

To select this source, change selection to Input 4 (disconnect any RCA connection to Input 4 at the rear panel).

The USB connection (F5) is purely for supplying power to the iPod/other portable music device. It serves no other
function.

When the 3.5mm jack

is used, ensure the

RCA of Input 4 is

disconnected
