There must be an unobstructed line of sight to the front of the i-DS

3 plus

main speaker when using the remote control.

Point the remote control at the front panel of the main speaker when pressing the buttons. For best results you should

be within 20 feet of the unit and no more than 45° oﬀ axis. Being in a brightly lit room can reduce the sensitivity of the

i-DS

3 plus

to remote control commands.

Note: Eventually you’ll need to replace the remote battery. If the remote doesn’t reliably operate the i-DS

3 plus

, put in a

new CR2025 3V lithium coin type battery.

Automatic Activation and Standby

The power switches on the back of the main speaker

and the subwoofer

can be left on. i-DS

3 plus

has an

automatic power standby system. After a few minutes of inactivity the ampliﬁers go into standby mode. As soon as

i-DS

3 plus

receives a signal from the iPod the ampliﬁers automatically turn on again. If the i-DS

3 plus

won’t be used for an

extended period of time, turn the power switches oﬀ.

Other Adjustments

Subwoofer Volume Control Adjustment

You may need to make further adjustments to the subwoofer volume control to produce a better blend with the main

speaker and produce a balanced, natural sound. Start with the subwoofer volume control at the middle of its rotation

range. Play a variety of source material —some music, a movie sound track with dynamic special eﬀects, some spoken

dialog. Adjust the subwoofer volume control up and down a bit from the starting point until you have a setting that

produces a natural sound with all the various types of program material.

Wireless ID Switches

Both the main speaker and the subwoofer have Wireless ID switches. The various switch settings change the frequency

of the wireless signal the main speaker sends to the subwoofer. The two switches must be set to the same channel.

Typically you’ll never need to adjust these switches. What are they for? If you have more than one i-DS

3 plus

system in your

house you can use diﬀerent wireless ID Switch settings so the systems won’t interfere with each other.

Connecting Other Equipment

Line Inputs

Other audio equipment, such as a portable CD player or older iPod models that do not have the universal docking

adapter, can be connected to the i-DS

3 plus

through the Line inputs on the back of the main speaker. Typically you’ll need

acablethathasastereo1/8-inchplugononeendtoconnecttotheoutputofthedeviceyouareconnectingtothe

i-DS

. The other end of the cable should have two RCA plugs that will connect to the i-DS

3 plus

line inputs.

Using the Video Output

i-DS

3 plus

. There are two outputs – a composite output and an S-video output. Use which ever one is compatible with

your television. For the composite output, connect a standard RCA plug cable between the i-DS

3 plus

and the composite

video input of your television. Typically the composite video input of a television is color coded yellow. To use the S-video

output you will need a special S-video cable to connect the i-DS

3 plus

to the corresponding input on your television. Refer

to the manual for your television for information on this input and how to use it.

Maintenance and Service

The i-DS

3 plus

enclosures may be cleaned using a soft cloth to remove ﬁngerprints or to wipe oﬀ dust. All wiring

connections should be inspected and remade at least once a year.

In the event that your i-DS

3 plus

ever needs service, contact your local Boston Acoustics dealer or visit
