Thank you for purchasing the Cambridge Audio iD50 Audiophile Docking Station for iPod. We are confident that it will provide you with many years of listening pleasure.

The iD50 enables you to get the very best audio and video quality from your iPod. A ground sensing pseudo-balanced noise cancelling scheme and buffered audio outputs extract the maximum information possible.

Gold-plated RCA/Phono connections allow the iD50 to be used with a high quality separates system for true audiophile performance.

In addition, you can use your television to both browse your iPod via the iD50’s simple On-Screen Display and view video content. An RS232 interface is also included for custom installation use.

The iD50 supports both Simple and Advanced modes of operation. In Simple Mode, the dock is in an active standby state to allow charging of the iPod and output of the audio via the iD50. The iPod’s own display is active and it is controllable via the supplied remote control or its own front panel and touch-wheel.

In Advanced Mode, the iPod can be controlled and browsed using the remote control and the iD50’s On-Screen Display via a suitable TV. Audio and video are available via the iD50 connections and charging of the iPod can be turned on or off.

Please do not compromise on the quality of interconnects you use with this product. Naturally, we particularly recommend cables from the Cambridge Audio range, designed to the same exacting standards as this product. Contact your dealer for details.

Thank you for taking the time to read this manual; we recommend you keep it for future reference.
