ing Home Entertainment System:  
1. Connect the Left and Right Audio Outputs to a stereo or A/V  
Receiver. Connect the Video Output directly to a TV.  
2. Connect the Left and Right Audio Outputs and Video Output to a TV.  
3. Connect the Left and Right Audio Outputs to an ELAN Multi-Room  
System and the Video Output to an ELAN VIA! Touch Panel.

Control Connections  
IR Control  
The VIA!migo may be controlled by IR or RS-232. IR control is the simplest  
connection and will provide all control options but WILL NOT provide feed-  
back when used with Olé Touchpads. Feedback, in the case of IR controlled  
applications, occurs on a TV or VIA! Touch Panel dispaly.  
Use a mono 3.5mm interconnect cable between an IR Out port from an ELAN  
Multi-Room Controller or other IR device and the Remote In port on the  
VIA!migo as shown in Figure 5.

RS-232 Control  
RS-232 serial control provides reliable control from VIA! Touch Panels and  
Olé Touchpads. In addition to control capabilities, RS-232 control allows  
Olé Touchpads to display feedback (Title, Track, etc.). An ELAN SS1 System  
Station is required to display feedback on Olé Touchpads. Use the included  
RJ-45 to DB-9 Adaptor when connecting the VIA!migo to the SS1.  
Note: Maximum distance between the VIA!migo and an SS1 is 300'.

Connecting VIA!migo to an ELAN Multi-Room  
Controller  
Remotely Located Source  
VIA!migo connects to ELAN’s Multi-Room Controllers as a Source much like  
a DVD player, VCR, or cable box. Figure 8 shows the VIA!migo hooked up  
to an ELAN System12 using Cat-5 to connect an LSWP (Local Source Wall  
Plate Kit to pass Audio, Video and IR between the VIA!migo and the S12  
chassis using Cat-5.  
Note: The LSWP is specific to S12 Systems and will not work with  
other Multi-Room Controllers

Connecting To Your A/V System  
To connect to your A/V System with or without a VIA! Touch Panel:  
1. Plug the included AC power adapter into the back of the VIA!migo  
base, and the other end into any available AC power outlet.  
2. Plug the A/V Cable into the back of the VIA!migo base. Be sure to  
match the color on the A/V plugs (Red, White and Yellow) with the  
corresponding jack color or input type.  
3. Plug the other end of the A/V Cable into the corresponding jacks of  
any available input on the A/V system. (White plug - Left Audio, Red  
plug - Right Audio and Yellow plug - Video).  
When connecting the VIA!migo to an ELAN Multi-Room System, it is treated  
exactly like any other Audio/Video source for purposes of audio and video  
connections.  
NOTE: The S-Video Out connection can be used for even better  
video performance (S-Video cable not included).  
4. If using a VIA! Touch Panel, use it to select and turn on your  
VIA!migo. Also turn on your home stereo and select the correct input  
for the VIA!migo.

Connecting Your iPod  
Adjusting VIA!migo to Fit Your iPod  
The VIA!migo can fit any dockable iPod. It can even be used with many iPod  
protective cases left on. The first time you use your iPod, and if you ever  
use another size iPod, you should adjust the VIA!migo’s Support Stand to  
accommodate your particular iPod. See Figure 14 for an example.  
To adjust the VIA!migo to fit your iPod:  
1. Loosen the Support Stand screw and slide the Support Stand as far  
back as it can go;  
2. Connect your iPod by carefully lowering it onto the iPod dock

FAQs  
FAQ  
Answer  
Does the VIA!migo  
charge battery in my  
iPod?  
Yes. The VIA!migo fully charges and powers  
your iPod whenever your iPod is connected.  
Do I have to use a TV  
with the VIA!migo?  
No. The VIA!migo is a music-based, remote  
controlled home docking system for your iPod  
that requires nothing but a stereo or pow-  
ered speakers to play your iPod media. Of  
course, to get the most out of your VIA!migo,  
you should connect it to a TV, VIA! Touch  
Panel and home stereo or ELAN Multi-Room  
System. Remember, in order to use Dock  
Mode with On-Screen Music Navigation to  
select and choose your music, you have to  
connect your VIA!migo to your TV or VIA!  
Touch Panel.

when I’m using on-  
screen navigation?

under Genres. Just select Genres from the  
Music Menu and find the Podcast you’d like  
to hear. If you want, you can organize your  
Podcasts into a Playlist in iTunes and then  
access them on your television using the  
VIA!migo.

nize certain Podcasts under Albums  
or Artists, so be sure to check there  
as well.

My VIA!migo isn’t  
working...  
Possible Solution  
IR not working.  
1. Ensure that the DB-9 to RJ-45 Adaptor  
used is the one that came with the VIA!migo.  
Disconnect the adaptor and resend IR  
command.  
2. If the Dock is near IR interference (Plasma  
TV, LCD TV, sunlight, etc.) the IR Receiver  
Window may be flooded. Cover the IR  
Window and use the 3.5mm IR Input port.  
Video Output is unread-  
able.  
See p. 33 for steps necessary to switch  
between NTSC and PAL video formats.  
iPod will not sync with  
dock.  
Ensure iPod compatibility (p. 7) and has the  
latest firmware from Apple.

Appendix B:  
Auxiliary Input  
The VIA!migo has an available Auxiliary Input on the side of the docking  
station. This stereo 3.5 mm mini jack allows input from an outside source to  
pass through the Left/Right audio outputs of the docking station.  
When this Auxiliary Input is used, it bypasses the iPod signal until the  
input jack has been removed. If the 3.5 mm mini jack is inserted while the  
iPod is docked and playing that will also cause the iPod audio signal to be  
bypassed.
