    NOTES:

    • Regarding connections using the Apple® Lightning to 30-pin Adapter / Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2m): Due to the instability of connecting iPod® and iPhone® models to our speaker system using the Apple Lightning to 30-pin Adapter / Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2m), there is a possibility that the one or both dock connectors may be damaged. Sony does not recommend using Apple Lightning to 30-pin Adapter / Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2m) with the Sony® speaker docks with 30-pin connecter.
    • If assistance is needed with using the dock adapter, view How to use the dock adapter with your device  which explains how to properly use this adapter.
    • Some protective cases may prevent the iPod from getting a proper connection. In some instances, it may appear to have a solid connection while using the case, but it may not function properly. If it appears that your iPod is not working/charging while connected to the docking station, remove the protective case and test for proper functionality.
    • Not all Sony portable products are designed to connect and work with Apple products. To find out if your portable unit has this capability, check the specifications. Manuals are posted on your model support page.
