[CONTINUED] If you are connecting a device which allows volume adjustment (like a digital media player

or cell phone), we recommend the volume on the device not be set to maximum. When the volume is set to

its maximum setting, the amplifier in the external device is likely to introduce elevated distortion into the audio

signal which, in turn, will be passed on to this speaker and further amplified, creating even more distortion.

Ethernet: This cable allows you to physically connect a device to a LAN (local area

network). When connected to a LAN, audio information can be sent to this

speaker using various protocols (such as AirPlay® or DLNA). If a wireless

(Wi-Fi) connection is used to connect to a LAN, there is no need to use an

Ethernet connection. However, in some installations, a ‘hard-wired’ Ethernet

connection may prove more desirable than a wireless connection.

USB: This cable allows you to connect compatible Apple devices and to use the

speaker as a dock and charger. This connection will also charge any non-Apple

devices capable of being charged via a USB connection. This speaker’s USB

connection was designed to rapidly charge a variety of devices.

Wi-Fi: This connection technology wirelessly connects a device to a LAN (local area

network). When connected to a LAN, audio information can be sent to this speaker using

various protocols (such as AirPlay® or DLNA). If an Ethernet connection is used to connect

to a LAN, there is no need to use a Wi-Fi connection. In some installations a ‘hard-wired’ Ethernet

connection may prove more desirable than a wireless connection.

Bluetooth: This wireless connection technology allows a wide variety of devices to connect

to an audio output device and stream audio. Bluetooth establishes a connection directly

with an audio output device and does not require either device to be connected to a LAN.
