A0301 and A0315 can be used as primary system inputs feeding the main hub or as local input modules in each room to override the primary audio source. The A0301 is a generic input module which provides a standard

®L/R RCA input and the A0315 is an iPod docking station.

These local input modules should be installed in the CAT5 line between the P-2014 and the A0125. Multiple input modules can be installed in one CAT5 run. If audio is present at more than one input module the unit closest to A0125 will take priority and be played through the speakers.

In this configuration, either the satellite radio tuner or the A0315 connected to the System Input of the P-2014 can act as the main system input. If audio is present from both sources, then the Priority switch will determine which source is heard. In this example the switch is set to give the A0313priority.

Using the A0505 Remote ControlThe buttons above the iBus label on the A0505 remote control will mimic the functions on the iPod wheel.

The volume, mute, power, and source buttons on the A0505are designed to control Channel Vision’s whole-house audio systems such as the A4603 and P-2044.

Please note that this remote will only function when your iPod is docked in the A0315 wall dock. It must be pointed at anIR receiver that is part of an amplified keypad that is wired“downstream”.

Docking the iPodThe dock platform can slide up to hide the dock connector when the system is not in use. Make sure the dock platform is in the down position so the dock connector is exposed (as shown here).

The sliding dock leverbeneath the dock adjusts the position

of the dock connector to create a perfect fit for all compatible iPods (see pg. 3 for compatibility).

The A0350 can accept the signal from one Channel Vision’s CAT5 AudioDevices, such as the A0315. Audio from the iPod dock is transmitted via CAT5into the A0350 while power is supplied from the A0350 to the iPod dock.The power supply for the A0350 can be connected directly to the front of the A0350 or via a pair of 16AWG wires to the power screw terminals on the back side.

Stripping and Connecting CAT5 Wire

BladeCat5

1. Place the CAT5 between the blade and the first notch of the J-110 tool.

CAT5 cable should be stripped with a proper stripping tool, such as Channel Vision’s J-110 tool.

Slightpressure

Rotate1 turn only

2. Rotate the tool only once. Multiple turns will cause you to cut into the inner wires.

3. Inspect the inner wires for damage. If any wires are cut start over at step 1.

1) Be sure you have connected the CAT5 cable correctly. Follow theTIA-568A standard at both ends. Incorrect wiring can cause distortedsound or prevent the system from working at all!

2) Be sure you have connected the speakers in phase. Follow the labelon the product. Out of phase speakers can rob the system of itsbass. Especially when driving dual-voice-coil speakers.

3) Trouble with IR control?a. Make sure you are using the correct remote control. The A0315 will

only respond to IR signals from the Apple Remote produced by AppleComputer or the A0505 produced by Channel Vision. Other 3rd partyremote controls are not supported.

b. Check the batteries in the remote control and change them ifnecessary.

4) The A0315 is designed to charge the iPod (see compatibility notes onpage3). When the iPod is not playing music, the screen shouldindicate that the iPod is being charged. If this does not occur, makesure the power is reaching the volume control keypad (press thevolume buttons to see if the LED indicators light up).

5) Observe wiring distance specifications. The maximumrecommended wire length between the wall dock and CAT5 audiohub is 250 feet. Although the A0315 may work at greater distances,extreme distances are not recommended because erraticperformance may result due to the power loss caused by the CAT5wire.

6) If you are experiencing problems with your iPod that occur evenwhen it is not docked in the A0315, then please contact Applecustomer service for support.

7) If you need additional help troubleshooting the A0315 please contactChannel Vision technical support or check our website for moredetails: www.channelvision.com.
