Zeppelin - Bowers & Wilkins
Zeppelin1
WelcomeThank you for purchasing Zeppelin and welcome toB&W Bowers & Wilkins.The iPod and iPhone are great music sourceson the move, but when you’re at home or in theoffice, or you want to share your music with friendsand family, earphones are not convenient. Thereare many products on the market that allow you todock your iPod or iPhone and hear your favouritemusic without earphones, but it’s usually a choicebetween hi-fi separates with their bulk and trailingwires or one-box solutions that don’t do justice tothe player’s capabilities.Zeppelin is different. It’s a one-box product withthe Bowers & Wilkins name. That means you’llexperience impact and clarity, involving spatialqualities most often missing when listening throughheadphones or less-capable loudspeaker systems.And it’s ‘Made for iPod’, which means that AppleInc. has certified it for seamless use with today’smost popular music source.With its airship-inspired shape, distinctively styledby Native Design, London, Zeppelin is simple andintuitive to use. But before you immerse yourselfin its great sound, please take a moment to readthrough this manual. You should also familiariseyourself with the safety instructions supplied withthe product.Unlike most other one-piece iPod docking devices,Zeppelin incorporates a full 3-way stereo speakersystem. Left and right channels have individualmidrange and tweeter drivers, while the bass ofboth is handled by a single central bass driver.Together with the efficient and cool runningswitching amplifier, this ensures extremely highquality, room filling sound.The unique universal support bracket securelyholds all compatible iPods/iPhones withoutadaptors or adjustment and gives the user freedomto operate the player’s own controls as easily as if itwere in the hand.Video iPods and iPhones benefit from Zeppelin’svideo output sockets, allowing the user to transferimages to a television.Additional music sources such as MP3 players,portable CD players and laptops may be playedthrough Zeppelin using the AUX socket at therear. Both analogue and digital connections aresupported by the same socket.There are different hardware versions ofZeppelin, which may be identified by referring tothe serial number label (see page 5 for location),and there are some differences in operation.This manual applies to all versions ofZeppelin, but assumes that the software hasbeen upgraded to version 2.1. It supersedes anyprinted manual supplied with the product and anyprevious on-line versions.2
iPod/iPhone compatibilityGroup A (AUX analogue/digital mini jack input socket)Group B (AUX analogue/digital mini jack input socket)Group C (Spring-loaded iPod/iPhone connector port)Group D (Spring-loaded iPod/iPhone connector port)Group E (Spring-loaded iPod/iPhone connector port)We have separated the different types of iPod/iPhone into groups, which we will use throughoutthe manual to describe differences in the way thevarious models interact with Zeppelin.Use this table to identify which group your iPod/iPhone belongs to.Group A models lack the standard 30-pin socketand will not dock with Zeppelin at all. Althoughthe iPod 3rd generation of Group B has the 30pin socket, Zeppelin cannot charge it becauseit requires Firewire and Zeppelin supports onlythe latest USB charging. There are also softwareconflicts between this iPod and Zeppelin softwarev.2.0 and later. However, you can play thesemodels through Zeppelin by connecting theirheadphone output to Zeppelin’s AUX socket. Seethe section Connecting a second source.To ensure maximum functionality, werecommend you keep your iPod/iPhone softwareup to date. Check for upgrades in iTunes.Zeppelins with serial number beginning Z-2 are‘Works with iPhone’ certified. Earlier versions arenot and, when you dock an iPhone on these, amessage pops up on the screen asking if you wishto switch to Airplane Mode. There are no majornoise interference issues between these Zeppelinversions and the iPhone, so press the No buttonand continue operation. Refer to page 5 for thelocation of the serial number label.There are differences in the video and streamingoperation of Group E devices, depending on thehardware version of Zeppelin and its software.Please refer to the sections Outputting videoand Streaming content from the Internet.3
Correct handlingWhen lifting Zeppelin, use two hands on the body.Never use the iPod support bracket as a handle.4
A tour of ZeppelinAlthough Zeppelin is exceptionally easy to use,please spend a few moments getting to knowwhere its controls and connectors are and whatthey do.Zeppelin is shown with the grilles removedso you can see what’s behind. Do not try toremove the grilles. They are deliberately difficultto get off to limit access and avoid damage toexposed drivers.At the frontAt the back12345678912Left channel tweeterLeft channel midrange driverMulticolour status LED.Bass driverInfrared remote control receiver.Right channel midrange driverRight channel tweeterVolume up/down rocker buttonCombined on/standby and sourceselector button10 Spring-loaded iPod/iPhone connector port3456Power input socketUSB slave socket for softwareupdates to ZeppelinAUX analogue/digital mini jackinput socketS-Video output socketComposite video output socketSerial number label5
Turning on the remote controlBefore using the remote handset for the first time,you must remove the clear plastic insulating tabthat prevents the battery draining.Rotate the battery cover anticlockwise 1/8 full turnand remove.Release the battery. Press down on the edge ofthe battery between the two black lugs and theopposite side next to the metal spring will flip up.Remove and discard the insulator.Replace the battery, first locating one side underthe small lugs opposite the metal spring.Replace the cover.6
Setting upConnect Zeppelin to the power supply. Whenplugged in, Zeppelin will go through a systemcheck for a couple of seconds, during which it willnot accept commands, and then assume standbymode. In standby, the LED at the front will glow red.To turn Zeppelin fully on, press the button, eitheron the remote handset or on Zeppelin itself. Whenfully on, the LED colour will depend on the selectedsource – blue for iPod/iPhone or green for a secondsource plugged into the AUX socket.To totally disconnect Zeppelin from the powersupply, you will have to remove the plug from orswitch off the wall outlet.7
Docking an iPod/iPhoneTo dock your iPod/iPhone, simply angle it, locatethe long socket over the connector on the supportbracket and push down fully.The spring-loaded design automatically adjustsfor all models and causes the iPod/iPhone to reston the back support.There’s plenty of room to get your hand roundthe back of the support to operate the player’s owncontrols in the normal way. Note that, because thesocket in the base of 1st, 2nd and 4th generationnanos is offset to one side, they will not sit centrallyon the support bracket.As soon as you dock your iPod/iPhone, Zeppelinautomatically selects it as the source. If Zeppelinis in standby, it will automatically turn itself fully onwithout you having to press either button. TheLED will glow yellow for a couple of seconds whilethe amplifier initialises and then turn to blue whenZeppelin is ready to play.If your iPod/iPhone was turned off or in pausemode when you docked it, it will end up in pausedmode. If it was playing, it will continue to play.All the time your iPod/iPhone is docked andZeppelin is plugged into the power supply, youriPod/iPhone will charge (except for Group A andGroup B devices). If that’s all you want it to do,put Zeppelin into standby to reduce powerconsumption using the button, either onZeppelin or on the remote handset.If you remove your iPod/iPhone while it is theselected source, Zeppelin will automatically gointo standby after 5 minutes to reduce powerconsumption.8
Controlling the volumeThere are three ways to adjust Zeppelin’s volume.If your iPod/iPhone is docked, and it is a GroupD or Group E device, its own volume control can beused to alter Zeppelin’s volume level, which is alsodisplayed on the iPod/iPhone’s screen.For the touch screen of devices in Group E,use the slider volume control at the bottom of thescreen. For Group D iPods, use the click wheel.When using the volume control of a dockediPod/iPhone, its own internal volume level is notaffected, but is retained at its original level forwhen you remove the iPod/iPhone and go backto using headphones.The click wheel and display of Group B andGroup C iPods will not function in this way.– – On Zeppelin itself, press on the upper section ofthe long button, marked to increase the volumeand the lower section, marked - to decrease itOn the remote, press the button to increasethe volume and the - button to decrease it.In both cases, a short press will make a smallchange, or you can press and hold to ramp up ordown.As you alter the volume level, Zeppelin’s LED willflash. As you approach the maximum level, the LEDwill turn white. Once you reach either the maximumor minimum level, the LED will turn red.9
Navigating tracks onyour iPod/iPhoneJust as on the iPod/iPhone, the button togglesbetween play and pause.If you are playing a second source throughZeppelin’s AUX socket, the play/pause buttontoggles mute on and off.If you are close to Zeppelin, it is easy to use thenavigation controls on your iPod/iPhone as normal.However, for distant operation, the play/pause,forward and back controls that you are familiar withon your iPod/iPhone are duplicated on Zeppelin’sremote handset.All the controls on your iPod/iPhone continueto work as normal. If you press Play on youriPod/iPhone while it is docked, Zeppelin willautomatically select it as the source.For complex operations, such as selecting aplaylist, you will need to be close to Zeppelin inorder to read the iPod/iPhone’s screen. Zeppelin’sdesign makes it so easy to use the iPod/iPhone’sown controls that there is no need for theseoperations to be duplicated on the remotehandset. As a consequence, Zeppelin’s remotehandset has deliberately been kept simple.A single press on the button moves you tothe start of the next track. Press and hold to fastforward through the current track.This button has no effect when playing a secondsource through Zeppelin’s AUX socket.A single press on the button moves you to thestart of the current track. A double press takes youto the start of the previous track. Press and hold tofast reverse through the current track.This button has no effect when playing a secondsource through Zeppelin’s AUX socket.10
Outputting videoIf you want to feed images from a video iPod oriPhone to your television, use either an S-video orcomposite video cable between Zeppelin and yourset. If you have a choice, S-video offers slightlybetter quality.If your iPod/iPhone is already playing a videoas you dock it, the picture may not automaticallytransfer to the TV screen. In that case, stop thevideo, go back a step in the iPod/iPhone’s menu,re-select the video and start it again.When you play a video on devices in Group E,Zeppelin software (except v.2.0) forces the videocontent to be routed out to its S-VIDEO and COMPsockets for display on a TV and the picture may notbe viewed on the iPhone/touch screen.Note: Zeppelin software v.2.0 allows theoperation of the pop-up message “Display onTV? Yes/No”, but was superseded due to a bugin Apple iPhone/touch software v.3.0 that cancause the iPhone/touch to freeze if the pop-up isallowed.With other video iPods, you can set the videooutput state on the iPod itself (Video Settings TV Out ) to be always displayed on the iPodsscreen (Off), or always output to a TV (On), or topop up a choice message (Ask).Note: 4th generation nanos display some videocontent only at right angles on their own screen.Zeppelins with serial numbers beginning withZ-0 and having the originally installed softwarewill not output video from Group E devices. Toenable video output with these devices, upgradeZeppelin’s software on our web sitewww.bowers-wilkins.comDownload the Zeppelin Connectivity Guide fromour web site for more details.Composite video cableS-video cable11
Streaming content from the internet2 SECThe devices of Group E – iPod touch and iPhone– can connect to the Internet and stream bothvideo and audio content. While streaming, theiriPod function is paused and Zeppelin’s LED willslowly flash blue. In this state Zeppelins with serialnumbers starting Z-0 and with the original softwareinstalled mute their amplifier and the streamedaudio content will not be heard.To enable streamed content to be heard via thisZeppelin version, first upgrade the software, whichyou can access from the Zeppelin page of our website www.bowers-wilkins.com. The later softwareby default will still mute-on-pause with Z-0 models,but this may be defeated by first placing Zeppelininto standby (when the LED will glow red). Pressand hold the remote’s play/pause button until theLED blinks (approximately 2 seconds). A singleoff/on indicates that the mute-on-pause has beendefeated and streamed audio may be heard. Adouble off/on/off/on indicates that mute-on-pausehas been restored.Zeppelins with serial numbers starting with Z-1or higher will stream Internet content as delivered.When streaming from the Internet (eg from YouTube), the play/pause, forward and back buttons ofZeppelin’s remote will not duplicate the on-screencontrols of the touch/iPhone. Pressing the remote’splay button will cause the current iPod-storedaudio/video file to start playing.12
Connecting a second sourceAnalogue Mini jackRCA PhonoOptical mini jackYou can connect a second source to Zeppelinusing the AUX socket at the rear, which acceptsboth analogue and digital signals. Zeppelin willautomatically know which type it is receiving.Analogue sources will need a 2-core coaxialcable terminated at the Zeppelin end by a ministereo jack plug, just like the plug used for youriPod headphones. The plug required at the otherend will depend on the source.If the source is an early generation iPod, shuffle,MP3 player, laptop computer or portable CD player,the output will probably be from a headphonesocket and the same style mini jack will be needed.If the source has its own volume control, set it toapproximately 75% full scale.If the source has a line output – a standard‘stacking’ CD player, for example – you willprobably need two RCA Phono plugs at the sourceend. If the source has its own volume control, set itto approximately 90% full scale.Sources with an optical digital output use afibre-optic cable, sometimes called a TOSLINK .The standard TOSLINK termination has a stubby,block-ended shape, but some devices, includingZeppelin, Apple Macintosh , Apple TV and AppleAirport Express , use an optical mini jack plug.These optical mini jacks have the same outlineshape as the analogue version, but have no blackstripes and have a clear tip for the light to passthrough.Download the Zeppelin Connectivity Guide fromour web site for more information.TOSLINK 13
Playback from a second source3 SECYou can switch between the iPod/iPhone and asecond (AUX) source by using the button on theremote handset or by pressing and holding thecombination button on the top of Zeppelin itself.See the tables below for details.When AUX is selected, Zeppelin’s LED glows green.The play/pause button on Zeppelin’s remotehandset toggles mute on and off. The fast forwardand fast reverse buttons have no effect.If Zeppelin is manually switched to standby andon again, it automatically selects the last usedsource. If that source is no longer connected,Zeppelin will switch to the alternative. If no sourceat all is connected, Zeppelin will return to standbyafter 5 minutes. Your iPod/iPhone only overridessource selection as it is docked or if you press itsown Play button while it is docked.14

Taking calls on an iPhoneIf you have an incoming call while the iPhone isdocked, the iPhone will ring through Zeppelin andmute the music.The iPhone does not send call audio to the30-pin docking connector, so you cannot hear thecaller through Zeppelin.To take the call you can either remove the iPhonefrom Zeppelin and replace it when the call isfinished or leave it docked and turn on the iPhone’sinternal Speaker to use it as a speakerphone.If you were playing music when the call came in, itwill resume playing when you terminate the call andthe iPhone is docked.17
Adjusting the soundIf you place Zeppelin with its back against a wall,the bass level is boosted, and more so if it is ina corner. Zeppelin’s own bass output may beadjusted to compensate.When you dock a Group D iPod into Zeppelin,an extra item called Speakers appears in itstop-level menu. If you select this option and thenchoose Tone Control, you will get a list of Basslevel options.With Group E devices, tap the Settings iconon the touch screen. The Speakers item is addedto the list, but is hidden below the bottom of thescreen. Stroke the list upwards with your finger toreveal the hidden items on the list.In the default position, Bass 0, the balance isadjusted for when Zeppelin is on an open table.Bass -1 lowers the bass to match a single walland Bass -2 a corner. Personal preference isimportant too, so we provide extra settings at eachend, Bass 1 and Bass -3. Choose whicheversounds best to you. The change happens as soonas you highlight the option.The selected EQ setting is retained for anyother iPod you dock and to any second sourceconnected to the AUX input. So, if you have anearlier model iPod, you can still adjust Zeppelin’sbass by borrowing a Group D or E device and itwill remain set for other models.When using Zeppelin, we recommend thatyou turn off any EQ in the iPod/iPhone itself(Settings iPod Music EQ Off for iPhone,Settings Music EQ Off for touch orSettings EQ Off for other iPods).18
