iYiYi Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of Tivoli Audio’s iYiYi sound system; a sound system with an
FM/AM radio and built-in universal dock for iPod. We believe the iYiYi sound system to be one of
the finest sounding “Made for iPod” stereo systems on the market today.
In order to take full advantage of what your new iYiYi sound system is capable of, please take a
moment to read this owner’s manual and the Safety Instructions. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact your dealer or Tivoli Audio.
Please save the carton and original packing should you ever need to ship your system, as
shipping damage is not covered by the factory warranty.
On behalf of all of us, thank you for choosing Tivoli Audio and enjoy your new iYiYi sound system!
Packed with your iYiYi you should find:
• 1 Remote Control (battery installed)
• 1 External FM Wire Antenna
• 7 Universal Dock Adapters
• 1 Power Cord
• 1 Warranty Registration Card (USA only)
Please contact your dealer or Tivoli Audio if any of these items are missing.
Getting Started:
1. Correctly insert the power cord into the rear power input and plug the cord into a wall outlet.
2. Press the Power button briefly to turn the system on, insert the appropriate dock adapter
followed by your iPod and play a song, or tune to an FM radio station by rotating the tuning
knob, and adjust the volume level to your liking.
Note 1: Low (bass) frequencies place a heavy strain on speakers and amplifiers. The iYiYi is
engineered to reproduce the maximum amount of low frequencies for its size and power.
Therefore, we recommend setting your iPod’s EQ to “OFF” for best overall performance.
Note 2: The volume control for the iPod only controls a headset connected to the iPod. It does
not affect the volume of the iPod playing through the iYiYi.

(“memorized”) followed by the Preset number. The tuned preset number will show on the right
side of the display (Fig. 3). There are 5 presets for the FM band and 5 for the AM band. If a
Preset button is pressed and a station has not been saved to that Preset number, the display
will show “Empty”. Presets can only be stored using the controls on the iYiYi sound system
and not via the remote control.
7. DOCK: This universal dock accepts all iPods with dock connectors. Seven different dock
adapters are included, each individually numbered. Use the dock adapter chart to determine
which dock fits your model iPod. Insert the appropriate dock adapter into the well of the
universal dock. Newer models of the iPod with dock connectors include a dock adapter that
will fit this dock. Never place an iPod in the dock without the adapter dock, as this may damage
the dock connector. A docked iPod will receive a charge whenever the iYiYi sound system is
powered On in any mode except AM so as not to compromise AM reception. A docked iPod
that is powered on may remain on if the source is changed too quickly.
An iPod Shuffle, older model iPod, or other MP3 player not having a dock connector can still
be used with the system by connecting an audio cable (not included) from its headphone
output to the unit’s auxiliary input. Each end of the audio cable should be terminated with a
1/8" stereo male mini connector.
If you have any questions about how to use your iPod, please contact Apple Computer
directly, or the establishment where you purchased your iPod.
Match your iPod model to the chart to determine which Dock Adapter is right for your iPod.
Each Dock Adapter is numbered on the back according to the chart.

6. AC INPUT: Correctly and firmly insert the supplied power cord into this jack. When removing
the cord, always grasp it at the connector. Never pull the cord itself. Do not bundle the power
cord together with the external FM antenna or any audio cables, as this can inject noise in the
audio path.
Note: It is normal for the rear panel to become warm to the touch during use.
7. BASS PORTS: These ports produce low frequency output thereby enhancing the bass
response. Do not obstruct the ports, as this will not only diminish the sound quality but also
reduce internal heat ventilation.

1. TO SET THE ALARM TIME: (the clock must be set before the alarm can be set.) Briefly press
the Alarm Button. The ALARM icon will flash on the display. Then press and hold the clock
set button until a beep indicates that you’re in the set mode and the hour will flash (Fig. 11).
Rotate the Tune knob (which also determines AM or PM) clockwise to increase hour, counter
clockwise to decrease the hour. There is no “AM” designation for morning hours. Now press
the Tune knob in to set the hour, and then adjust the minutes in the same manner (Fig. 12).
The minutes will not affect the hour setting. Press the Tune knob again to save the settings
(Fig. 13). Press the Alarm button briefly to see the current Alarm time. The “ALARM” icon will
blink when displaying alarm time.
Note: Non-US models use a 24-hour clock format.
2. TO SET THE ALARM TO WAKE: Set the iYiYi sound system to the FM or AM station you wish
to wake to that will be broadcasting during the time you wish to wake (or set to Aux to wake
to a pleasant increasing beep) and adjust the volume level to your preferred level to awake.
(The beep volume level is not adjustable.) Press and hold the Alarm button. A beep will sound
confirming the Alarm is set to wake and the word “Alarm” will show on the display along with
the time the alarm is set to. Turn the system Off before retiring. When the alarm activates the
ALARM icon will flash.
Should you opt to wake to the beep, the beep will sound for 60 seconds, then pause for 60
seconds, then resume for another 60 seconds. This pattern will repeat for up to one hour or
until the Alarm button is pressed. When waking to the radio or your iPod, if the unit is not
turned off, the sound will play for one hour, after which the unit will automatically shut off. To
wake to your iPod, follow the steps above but set the source to iPod and have an iPod resting
in the dock.
3. TO RE-SET THE ALARM FOR THE NEXT DAY: After the alarm activates, press the Alarm
button to re-set the alarm for the following day. “OFF” and “ALARM” will flash on the display,
the system will shut off, and the current time will be displayed.

Reception:
The internal FM antenna will provide good reception. Using the supplied external FM antenna may
improve reception. Be sure to set the rear panel switch to "External" when using an external FM
antenna. Do not bundle the FM antenna with the power cord or other cords.
Locating the FM antenna near a window or outside wall will yield the best results. An optional
outdoor FM antenna will provide the best possible reception. Connecting your cable television’s
75ohm coaxial cable to the external FM antenna input may also provide clear, local reception.
However, you must usually request activation of this service by your cable provider.
Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household appliances,
electric blankets, computers, CD players, microwave ovens, and other electronic devices can also
adversely affect reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the iYiYi sound system
further from the offending device or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device.
For AM reception, since the AM antenna is internal, position the unit for best AM reception.
Note: metal surfaces may hinder AM reception.
RDS:
The Radio Data System (RDS) transmits text data along with the audio broadcast. Not all stations
use RDS, thus text may not be present on some stations. For stations using RDS, the text still
might not appear or may appear scrambled if the signal is too weak. In such cases, experiment
with the FM antenna’s location and position.
Note: RDS content is determined by each individual station. If the content shown is inaccurate,
that is not the fault of the iYiYi sound system. There are also limits to the kinds of characters that
can be displayed. Therefore, it is not unusual to see a different character or blank space in cases
where the precise character can't be reproduced.
Placement:
Place the unit on a solid, flat, stable surface. The system is shielded and may be used in close
proximity to a computer monitor or television set. Placing the iYiYi sound system in a bookcase,
corner, or flush against a wall or other flat surface will restrict the output of the bass ports, yielding
an unnatural bass sound. The bass ports also double as internal heat ventilation.
Note: the LCD can be affected by cold and hot temperatures.
Cleaning:
Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your unit. The high gloss finish is subject to
scratching, particularly the black color, so care should be exercised during dusting/cleaning.
For your own safety, always disconnect the power when cleaning the iYiYi sound system.
