play in the Control4 environment; therefore, Network

Status takes precedence. If the Dock has booted prop-

erly, and has the proper connectivity to the network and

Controller, the following LED status applies. Otherwise,

the LED status listed above should apply even if an iPod

is docked.

• BLUE/YELLOW ﬂashing - Connecting iPod.

• BLUE solid - iPod Connected/Ready.

• BLUE-GREEN solid - Media is streaming from the iPod

(the iPod is playing music or video through the Dock for

iPod).

Place the Dock on a table near both a power outlet and

an Ethernet connection, then plug the Ethernet connector

into the Ethernet jack on the back of the Dock.

Connect the power adapter and power plug, and then use

them to connect the Dock’s power jack to the power out-

let. Note: Use only the Control4 power adapter provided.

Use a Component cable (not provided) or the Audio/Vid-

eo breakout cable (provided) to connect the Dock’s Video

Out to a TV, Receiver, Ampliﬁer, Controller, or other device

with AV input. If connecting the Dock to a Control4 Home

Controller HC-200, use the HC-200 interconnect cable

provided. This cable will only connect the Left / Right

audio output of the Dock for iPod to the audio inputs on

the HC-200. Component video connections still need to

be made separately if video playback is desired.
