IR CONTROL IN AN iPort SYSTEM

The iPort has built-in IR emitters that allow it to relay IR control signals
to the iPod from Sonance OptiLinQ products or distributed audio systems
like the DAB1 and Navigator Harbor. Through these systems, the iPort/iPod
can be controlled by the K2, K1, DAB1 and Navigator keypads. See 

Figure 6

for connections.

In local zone systems, IR signals from a local IR controller can be injected on
the iPort’s +IR (Data) and –IR (GND) connections. See 

Figure 5

for details.

iPort IR control codes for the K2, K1, DAB1 and Navigator keypads can be
downloaded for free at the Sonance website (www.sonance.com).

Important: The iPort requires the naviPOD IR receiver (not included) to control
the iPod via IR. The naviPOD IR receiver can be purchased online from the
Apple iStore, ClubMac.com or DrBott.com. 

Note: The naviPOD must be connected to the iPod before the iPod is  docked in
the iPort.
