QUICK START
STEP 1:
Connect the XIS100 to the power supply and use the included
A/V cable to connect to a composite video and audio amplifier.
The XIS100 is preconfigured for composite video support.
Direct the handheld remote control to the XIS100 and press the
‘power’ button. The blue ring indicator light on the XIS100 will
light ‘on’. Be sure the remote control has batteries installed.
With a connected display and the XIS100 powered on, the
screen on the right will appear indicating no iPod has been
connected to the XIS100.
STEP 2:
Place the iPod into the docking well. Be sure to use the
universal docking adapter for all iPod units. Move the clear
rubber support cushion up or down the rails to provide support
for your specific iPod. Once the iPod has been docked onto the
XIS100, the screen on the right will appear showing the main
menu options.
The menu is similar to the iPod menu and all functions can be
selected using the remote control.
Some iPods do not allow full control in Video and/or Photo browsing modes. In such cases follow
steps displayed on TV screen and use the iPod’s controls to navigate the Video and/or the Photo
folders.
STEP 3:
The ‘settings’ menu page is unique to the XIS100. On this page,
the screensaver time out, behavior of indicator light, color
scheme, and language can be changed. See “Settings Menu”
for more information.

BASIC CONNECTIONS
The XIS100 is ready to be used right out of the box. Simply connect a power supply and determine if
composite or component video is required. In all cases, the A/V cable must be used to provide left
and right audio connections. In component video applications, the composite end on the A/V cable
has no connection.

NOTE 1: The XIS100 is shipped with composite video output selection. To change to component
video, first connect the composite video output, then proceed through the ‘settings’ on the on-screen
display. In the ‘Settings’ menu, select “TV Out” and then “Component” to set the XIS100 to
component video output. Please remember that some iPods do not have a 480p video output, and
therefore cannot output video via the XIS100's component outputs. If you use more than one iPod
with XIS100 and would need to occasionally switch between composite and component video
outputs, you will need to use two separate inputs on your TV and connect both composite and
component outputs from your XIS100 to your TV. In this case, please use a pair of RCA Y-adaptors
to connect left and right audio from XIS100 to both inputs of your TV. Other connection possibilities to
utilize both video outputs without the use of Y-adaptors may be available depending on your TV or AV
Receiver that XIS100 is connected to. Consult your TV or AV Receiver’s manual for details.
NOTE 2: The XIS100 is shipped with its NTSC/PAL Video Format switch set to NTSC. NTSC is a
video standard commonly used in North American and parts of Asia. PAL is a video standard
commonly used in Western Europe and Australia/New Zealand and Asia. To change the settings,
TURN THE UNIT OFF FIRST AND REMOVE CONNECTOR FROM DC IN. Then locate the switch on
the back of the dock and set accordingly. Use the tip of a pen or a small screwdriver, and take care
not to damage the switch. Re-connect DC IN. Wait 30 seconds and power on the XIS100 using the
handheld remote.
If the NTSC/PAL switch is set in the incorrect position, it will result in poor to inoperable display.

SETTINGS MENU
NOTE: The XIS100 will retain all its settings until they are changed again. To return the XIS100 to its
default settings, place the XIS100 in standby (connected to a power supply, but not turned on). Point
the remote towards the XIS100 and press and hold down the “MENU” button on the remote for more
than 5 seconds. The XIS100 will acknowledge this reset by indicating so on the TV screen (composite
or component output, whichever one that was last selected).
Screensaver:
The XIS100 can be set to have the
screensaver turn on at several different
times. The timing options are 30 seconds,
1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10
minutes, 20 minutes, and never. The use
of a screensaver is highly recommended
to protect the display over long term
usage. The default setting is 30 seconds.
Indicator Light:
The XIS100 can be set to have its
indicator light turn on for only 1 second
after a command is executed, or to
always stay on when the XIS100 is
powered on.
Color Scheme:
Several color schemes are available in the XIS100 allowing customized settings to match a room’s
décor. The color choices are green, blue, basic black, red, black, and touch pad. Touch pad is used
for transparent overlays on touch screen controllers.
Language:
Eight languages can be used on the XIS100 OSD screen. After selecting “language”, pick the
appropriate settings. (Japanese, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian)
TV Out:
Determine if the video output should be ‘composite’ or ‘component’ video format. Only one video
output is allowed at a time. The XIS100 is shipped with ‘composite’ video output setting. If your TV
only offers a composite video input and you accidentally select component video on your XIS100, you
will need to reset the XIS100 (see page 9 top portion).
