Control of your iPod and Acoustic Wave® II system
We recommend replacing the remote that came with your Acoustic Wave® II 
system with this new remote (shown below). Then you can use the new remote 
exclusively (not the buttons on your Acoustic Wave
® II system), to keep your iPod 
and system performing together as intended.
Note: The remote that came with your Acoustic Wave® system can also be used to 
control the iPod kit. Use the  AUX button on the original remote instead of the iPod 
button on the new remote.
Most of the remote control buttons  ar
 e described in your Acoustic Wave® II 
system owner’s guide. The remote bu ttons below provide added features.
AUX 1-2
 Selects the iPod connected 
to AUX IN on the system.

FM or AM
 Selects the 
 
FM or AM source.
 Turns off iPod.
CD
 Selects the Acoustic Wave® music 
system II CD source.

Docking your iPod
Insert your iPod firmly into  the dock and make sure it is securely seated in the 
dock adapter. Your iPod turns on in a paused state and begins charging, as 
needed. Even if the paused iPod turns off automatically, it continues to charge.
If you prefer, you can replace this dock adapter with the 
adapt
 er specifically designed  for and provided with your 
iPod. 
Use a fingernail or a slender tool carefully to pry the 
adapter free, as shown.
Playing your music
Be sure to aim the remote so its infrared  (IR) signals reach the sensor on the front 
of the dock. Then use these buttons as follows:
 Press  iPod to turn on your system and begin iPod playback.
 Press  Play/Pause  to pause or resume iPod play.
 Press Tune/Playlist to move from one playlist to another.
 Press  Play to hear that 
 list play.
 Press Seek/Track  once to skip back or ahead one track.

Your Acoustic Wave

Volume adjustments can be made using the new remote, 
in
 stead of using the iPod control.

the Acoustic Wave  system volume.

remote at the dock until the iPod turns off. 
 Press any source button ( F

you switch to an FM or AM station.
