iPort FS-23 Instruction Manual
Introduction
The iPort®FS-23 allows you to control a compatible
iPod®or iPod touch®by using an on-TV visual menu
system. From any connected TV in your house, you
can play music, videos, and full-length movies stored
on your iPod, transforming it from a personal listening
device to a whole-house media source.
You can place the iPort on a desk, table, or other
convenient location — allowing quick and easy
docking of an iPod — and connect it to your audio/
video system, your computer, or directly to your TV.
Before installing and using the iPort, please read and follow all of the instructions in this
manual carefully.

iPort FS-23 System Connections
The iPort FS-23’s unbalanced audio and video outputs are designed for use in a local-zone sys-
tem where the audio/video equipment is located less than 30 feet (9m) from the iPort. For longer
distances, the iPort Balanced Audio Kit (part #70122, not included) and Balanced Video Kit (part
#70123, not included) are available. The Balanced Audio Kit allows the iPort to connect to audio
equipment located up to 500 feet (152m) away. The Balanced Video Kit allows the iPort to connect
to video equipment located up to 250 feet (76m) away. For further information about connecting
the iPort FS-23 to a long-distance audio/video system, see the instruction manuals included with the
Balanced Audio and Balanced Video kits.

switch, or hub on your home network. (optional)
5. Connect the supplied 12V DC power supply to the iPort’s power connector.

Docking Your iPod
The iPort includes a full-size dock adapter, which snaps into and out of the docking well. This adapter
allows you to dock full-size iPods and provides proper back support for them. For use with smaller
iPods, we recommend that you insert the dock adapter that was included with your iPod. Additional
adapters are available only from Apple®and are not supplied by iPort.
1. Insert the dock adapter that was included with your iPod all the way into the iPort docking well
(see Figure 3). After it is docked, the dock adapter can remain in the iPort docking well.
2. To dock the iPod, gently slide it down into the iPort docking well, as shown in Figure 4. Do not
force the iPod down into the dock, as you may damage the multi-pin connector in the iPort
base.
Note: The iPort’s menu appears on the connected TV. If no video source is detected by your TV, check
the cable connections. If the connections are secure, the problem may be video format.
• NTSC: Used in North, Central, and South America (except Brazil and Argentina), the
Philippines, and Japan.
• PAL: Used in Europe (except France), the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, China,
Australia, Brazil, Argentina, and most of Africa.
3. If you need to change the video format of your TV to match the iPort’s output, refer to the TV’s
user manual for instructions.
