Squeezebox™ Boom User Guide 9

Back Panel Connectors

A. Line in. Ideal for connecting an MP3 player, portable CD player, or other audio
device with a 3.5mm line level output and enjoying Squeezebox Boom’s advance
driver design and acoustics. It’s not necessary to select Line In as a source from
the front panel; Squeezebox Boom will automatically detect the connection of
your device.
B. Headphone or subwoofer out. Connect headphones for private listening,
or a powered subwoofer to add bass reinforcement. Since this is a dual-purpose
connector, you must select Settings > Audio > Line Out from the Home Screen
to select headphone or subwoofer output. If you are using headphones and the
audio comes from only one channel, check to make sure that the subwoofer
setting is not selected.
C. Ethernet. If you prefer to use an ethernet connection rather than Squeezebox
Boom’s built-in wireless, you can use your own ethernet cable to connect
Squeezebox Boom to your network.
D. Power. Be sure to use only the power supply provided with Squeezebox Boom.
Installing Squeezebox Boom

A Word About The Operating Environment

Squeezebox Boom is intended primarily for indoor use. It can be used outdoors
temporarily when adequate protection is provided against moisture and extreme
temperatures. When using outdoors, be sure to keep it out of direct sunlight, as it
may cause interference with the infrared sensor. For more information, see Safety
Information later in this guide.
