FAQs
This section covers questions you might have while using your product. For
further assistance, consult our self-help tool "Knowledge Base". Go to
www.creative.com, select your region and country, and then select
Support.
Why can’t I hear any sound from my headphones or speakers?
Check that:
• your speaker system’s power is turned on.
• your Xdock is powered from the power adapter.
• the volume is not muted. Press the Mute button on your remote control
or the Volume control on your Xdock to unmute.
• you have connected headphones or speakers to your Xdock.
• you have disconnected your headphones from your Xdock. This applies
only if you want to hear sound from speakers.
Why can’t I hear much difference in sound after enabling
X-Fi Crystalizer?
X-Fi Crystalizer works most dramatically on sound with many high and low
frequencies. Some types of music have mostly mid-range frequencies, so
the change may not be as apparent.
Do I need to enable the Equalizer feature in iPod to fully
experience X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity?
X-Fi enhancements are best experienced when the Equalizer feature in your
iPod is disabled.
FAQs 18
What is the best position for powered stereo speakers when X-Fi
CMSS-3D Virtual is enabled?
Good speaker placement can enhance your listening experience, while
careless placement can make good audio systems sound bad. Below is our
recommendation for powered stereo speakers.
Can I use noise-cancelling headphones or other special
audio-enhancing headphones with Xdock?
When using headphones or earphones with special audio-enhancing
features, disable the effects before using them with Xdock. The audio
enhancements on the headphones or earphones may interfere with the X-Fi
enhancements on Xdock.

FAQs 19
Why do other wireless and electronic devices detect interference
when I turn on Xdock?
Your other devices may be detecting signals sent out by Xdock. If you do not
have an X-Fi Wireless Receiver, disable the wireless feature.
i. Press the Power/Standby button to enable Standby mode.
ii. Disconnect the power adapter from your Xdock.
iii. Press and hold the Volume control on your Xdock as you reconnect the
power adapter to your Xdock. The Link LED lights up and then turns off.
To enable the wireless feature, press and hold both the Previous/Rewind
and Next/Fast-forward buttons on your Xdock together for three seconds.
The Link LED lights up again.
Can I change the playback volume using the iPod click wheel?
Your iPod click wheel does not control volume when your player is docked,
even when your iPod appears to be registering volume level changes. When
your iPod is docked, volume can only be controlled using the Volume control
buttons on your remote control or the Volume control on your Xdock.
Can I use the remote control to display photos on my TV?
No. After connecting your Xdock to a TV (see “Connect Your Xdock” on
page 6), press the Play/Pause button on your iPod.
Why is my remote control not responding?
Your remote control’s batteries may have depleted. Replace the batteries.
Will my saved settings be lost when I unplug my Xdock from the
power outlet?
No. If you enable Standby mode before unplugging your Xdock from the
power outlet, your settings will be saved (see “Play music” on page 8).
NOTES This feature is only applicable to iPod models that support TV Out.
FAQs 20
Why is my iPod not charging when my Xdock is connected to a
computer?
This may occur if your Xdock is connected to a USB port on a computer that
is turned off. Disconnect the USB cable from the back of your Xdock.
Charging should start and the charging icon will be displayed on the screen
of your iPod.
Can I connect my Xdock to a USB hub?
Using a USB hub with your Xdock may cause your iPod not to be detected by
your computer. Always connect your Xdock directly to a computer USB port.
Why does my CRT monitor become distorted whenever Xdock is
turned on?
CRT monitors typically have no proper shielding, so their screens may
become distorted in the presence of strong magnetic or radio signals. Place
your Xdock as far away as possible from your monitor.
What happens when I reset Xdock?
During a reset, your Xdock reverts to the original volume setting, and turns
on the X-Fi enhancements. If your Xdock is paired with any X-Fi Wireless
Receiver, the zone control settings are also erased.
FAQs 21
How do I remove the Dock adapter?

Safety Information 23
Safety Information
Refer to the following information to use your product safely, and to reduce
the chance of electric shock, short-circuiting, damage, fire, hearing
impairment or other hazards. Improper handling may void the warranty
for your product. For more information, read the warranty available with
your product.
• Do not dismantle or attempt to repair your product.
Refer all servicing to authorized repair agents.
• Do not expose your product to temperatures outside the range of 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
• Do not pierce, crush or set fire to your product.
• Keep your product away from strong magnetic objects.
• Do not subject your product to excessive force or impact.
• Do not expose your product to water or moisture.
If your product is moisture-resistant, take care not to immerse your product in
water or expose it to rain.
• When a conductive apparatus, such as earphones, is used in close proximity
with a CRT television or CRT monitor, the latter may emit an electrostatic
discharge. The electrostatic discharge can be felt as a static shock. While this
static shock is usually harmless, it is good practice to avoid close contact with
CRT devices when using earphones.
• Do not listen to audio on your earbuds or headphones at high volume for
prolonged periods of time as hearing loss may result. For users in the United
States, go to www.hei.org for more information.
• The battery must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact local agencies for
recycling and disposal information.
•Do not allow metal objects to touch the terminals of your battery.
•If there is leakage, an offensive odor, discoloration or deformation during
charging or use, remove the battery and do not use it again. Clean your hands
well before touching food or sensitive areas, for example, your eyes.
