User manual B&W ZEPPELIN

[. . . ] Thank you for purchasing Zeppelin and welcome to B&W Bowers & Wilkins. The iPod® and iPhoneTM are great music sources on the move, but when you're at home or in the office, or you want to share your music with friends and family, earphones are not convenient. There are many products on the market that allow you to dock your iPod or iPhone and hear your favourite music without earphones, but it's usually a choice between hi-fi separates with their bulk and trailing wires or one-box solutions that don't do justice to the player's capabilities. That means you'll experience impact and clarity, involving spatial qualities most often missing when listening through headphones or less-capable loudspeaker systems. [. . . ] If you are close to Zeppelin, it is easy to use the navigation controls on your iPod/iPhone as normal. However, for distant operation, the play/pause, forward and back controls that you are familiar with on your iPod/iPhone are duplicated on Zeppelin's remote handset. If you press Play on your iPod/iPhone while it is docked, Zeppelin will automatically select it as the source. For complex operations, such as selecting a playlist, you will need to be close to Zeppelin in order to read the iPod/iPhone's screen. Zeppelin's design makes it so easy to use the iPod/iPhone's own controls that there is no need for these operations to be duplicated on the remote handset. If you are playing a second source through Zeppelin's AUX socket, the play/pause button toggles mute on and off. A single press on the button moves you to the start of the next track. This button has no effect when playing a second source through Zeppelin's AUX socket. A single press on the button moves you to the start of the current track. This button has no effect when playing a second source through Zeppelin's AUX socket. If you want to feed images from a video iPod or iPhone to your television, use either an S-video or composite video cable between Zeppelin and your set. If your iPod/iPhone is already playing a video as you dock it, the picture may not automatically transfer to the TV screen. In that case, stop the video, go back a step in the iPod/iPhone's menu, re-select the video and start it again. 0) forces the video content to be routed out to its S-VIDEO and COMP sockets for display on a TV and the picture may not be viewed on the iPhone/touch screen. With other video iPods, you can set the video output state on the iPod itself (Video > Settings > TV Out >) to be always displayed on the iPods screen (Off), or always output to a TV (On), or to pop up a choice message (Ask). Note: 4th generation nanos display some video content only at right angles on their own screen. Zeppelins with serial numbers beginning with Z-0 and having the originally installed software will not output video from Group E devices. To enable video output with these devices, upgrade Zeppelin's software on our web site www. Com Download the Zeppelin Connectivity Guide from our web site for more details. The devices of Group E ­ iPod touch and iPhone ­ can connect to the Internet and stream both video and audio content. While streaming, their iPod function is paused and Zeppelin's LED will slowly flash blue. In this state Zeppelins with serial numbers starting Z-0 and with the original software installed mute their amplifier and the streamed audio content will not be heard. [. . . ] From time to time it may be necessary to update Zeppelin's software. Upgrades and instructions on how to install them will be posted on our web site: www. Com To install upgrades, you will need to connect Zeppelin to a USB output on your computer using a standard USB device cable. This is the same type of cable that is used to connect USB printers, for example. [. . . ]
