3.2 Zeppelin Air Functions
Diagram 6 illustrates Zeppelin Air's audio and video
connectivity.
With the Zeppelin Air switched on from Standby
or Sleep:
• You can listen to your iPod or iPhone audio.
• You can output iPod or iPhone video to a TV or
monitor, with audio on the Zeppelin Air.
• You can connect to a wired or wireless network
and listen to your iTunes audio via AirPlay.
• You can listen to other digital or analogue audio
sources via the Zeppelin Air AUX input.
• You can listen to audio stored or streamed on your
computer via USB.
Note: See Section 6 for more on using the
Zeppelin Air USB input.
• You can use the remote control Volume keys or the
Zeppelin Air Volume buttons to control volume.
• If an iPod or iPhone is docked, or Zeppelin Air is
connected to iTunes via AirPlay, you can use the
remote control Play/Pause key to play or pause
audio, or the Next and Previous keys to select the
next or previous track.
• You can use the remote control Input key or the
Zeppelin Air Standby button sequentially to select
connected inputs.
Note: There is a short delay when Zeppelin Air
inputs are switched. This is a consequence of
the need to re-establish USB, Network or iPod
communication.
3.3 Adjusting the Zeppelin Air sound
A Zeppelin Air used close to a wall or near a room
corner may overemphasise the bass elements of
music played on it. You can reduce the bass by
following the steps below.
• With the Zeppelin Air switched on from Standby,
dock an iPod or iPhone and play some music.
While the music is playing, select the iPod or
iPhone Settings icon.
• Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page and
select Speakers.
• The default Zeppelin Air setting is Bass 0. This
is appropriate for a Zeppelin Air used away from
walls and corners. Bass -1 reduces the bass
output appropriately for a Zeppelin Air used with
its back close to a wall. Bass -2 reduces the bass
output appropriately for a Zeppelin Air used near
a room corner. Bass +1 and Bass -3 options are
also provided to enable personal preferences also
to be accommodated. You should select whichever
option you feel sounds best on a range of music.
The bass adjustment happens as soon as you
highlight the option.
• The selected bass adjustment is retained by the
Zeppelin Air once the docked iPod or iPhone is
removed and is applied to all the Zeppelin Air
inputs.
Note: When you use Zeppelin Air with AirPlay
or a docked iPod or iPhone it is best to switch-
off any equalisation. Select the "flat" equalisation
option.

3.4 Zeppelin Air Automatic Input
Switching
In some circumstances the Zeppelin Air will
automatically switch to its AirPlay input or switch on
from Sleep mode:
• If iTunes streamed audio is present on the AirPlay
input when the dock input is selected and a
docked iPod or iPhone stops playing, the AirPlay
input will automatically be selected.
• If iTunes streamed audio is present on the AirPlay
input when the USB or AUX input is selected, the
AirPlay input will automatically be selected.
• If iTunes streamed audio is present on the AirPlay
input when Zeppelin Air is in Sleep mode, it will
automatically switch on and play the streamed
audio.
• When Zeppelin Air has been In Sleep mode
for more than one minute and an audio signal
is detected through the AUX input, it will
automatically switch on and play the AUX input
audio.
