the BOSSCOM iPod Dock II and the Bang &
Olufsen audio equipment.
When selecting the dock connected source with
the Bang & Olufsen remote the corresponding
input socket is opened, and the dock is turned on
simultaneously.
The docked iPod may be listened to in any
connected linkroom, but not controlled from there.
Set Up for CableLink Control.
The Bang & Olufsen remote terminal controls the
BOSSCOM iPod Dock II via the Bang & Olufsen
audio equipment that is transmitting control data via
the 7-pin DIN connection cable.
When selecting the dock connected source with the
Bang & Olufsen remote terminal the corresponding
input socket is opened, control data transmitted via
the connection cable and the dock is turned on.
Control data is only available via some input sockets
in various Bang & Olufsen audio equipment.
A BOSSCOM iPod Dock II connected via CableLink
may be controlled from any connected linkroom.

The BOSSCOM iPod Dock II is connected as an
AV source to an AV input in a Bang & Olufsen TV.
When selecting the dock connected source with
the Bang & Olufsen remote terminal the
corresponding AV input socket is opened, control
data transmitted via the connection cable and the
dock is turned on.
A BOSSCOM iPod Dock II connected via

fully charged.

Setting up the BOSSCOM iPod Dock II for the Direct Mode using a Bang
& Olufsen Remote Control
In the Direct Mode the Bang & Olufsen remote
control signal controls both the BOSSCOM iPod
Dock II and the Bang & Olufsen equipment at the
same time.
Thus the dock must be programmed to respond to
the correct signals.
In the Direct Mode the docked iPod may be listened to
from any link room, but cannot be controlled from there.
The Direct Mode will work in any setup, but the dock’s IR-receiver is NOT plasma-safe. If there is a plasma panel in
the room, an external plasma-safe IR-receiver has to be used.
Option Programming
Option programming is required only when installing dock. The programming is performed with a Bang &
Olufsen remote control terminal by pressing a 5 button sequence within 4 seconds after powering up the
dock.
When powering up the dock the red control lights up for 4 seconds, and the programming has to take
place before the control turns blue. If not successful the operation may be repeated.
Programming starts by pressing STOP and ends by pressing RECORD. All options have 3 digits to be
entered in between.
Option 106 is entered like this:
LIGHT –1 –0 –6 - STANDBY
