Note:  
Before you begin using it, please update your iPod/  
iPhone to the latest version. For details, refer to the  
Apple website.  
About the Dock Adapter  
The ABX-N300’s dock uses the Universal Dock system.  
By attaching an interchangeable part called a dock  
adapter, you’ll be able to insert your model of supported  
iPod/iPhone.  
• Use a commercially available dock adapter or the one  
that was included with your iPod/iPhone.  
Caution  
• If you connect an iPod/iPhone to the ABX-N300  
without attaching a dock adapter, you risk straining  
and damaging the connector. Even if the dock adapter  
is connected, you should avoid straining the connector  
by moving or wiggling the connected iPod/iPhone.  
• When inserting or removing your iPod/iPhone, take  
care to insert or remove it in a straight line with the  
angle of the connector, and do not use excessive force.  
• Do not forcefully press the controls of your iPod/  
iPhone while it is connected to the ABX-N300, or  
wiggle your iPod/iPhone forward or backward. Doing  
so will cause damage or faulty contacts in the  
connector.  
• If your iPod is a compact and lightweight model, and  
has no compatible adapter, you may connect it directly.  
Move the slide cover to the  
left to expose the dock.  
• Do not use the system in conjunction with other  
accessories such as an FM transmitter or microphone.  
Doing so may cause faulty operation.  
Dock adapter  
• If your iPod/iPhone is in a case, it might not be able to  
fully connect with the connector, causing failure to  
sound or inability to operate the remote control.  
Remove your iPod/iPhone from its case before  
inserting it in the ABX-N300.  
First align the front  
edge of the dock  
adapter, and then  
press down on the  
rear edge.

Network Setup  
In order to use the media server function (playing back music files saved on a computer), AirPlay, or Internet radio, the  
ABX-N300 must be connected to a network.  
The ABX-N300 can connect to the network in either of two ways: wirelessly or by a cable. You’ll need to make the  
settings that are appropriate for the type of network you’re using.  
Connect the ABX-N300 to your wireless LAN or wired LAN as described in “Connections” (page 13).  
The ABX-N300’s wireless LAN conforms to Wi-Fi.  
Network Essentials  
A network is a setup in which multiple devices are connected by a cable (or wirelessly) so that they can communicate  
with each other.  
In a home, it is common to set up a network so that computers or game consoles can connect to the Internet, or so that  
data can be transferred between multiple computers.  
A network of this type that is limited to a relatively small area, such as a home, is called a Local Area Network (LAN).  
If the ABX-N300 is connected to a network server such as a computer, it can play back music files stored on the network  
server (computer), or connect to the Internet to play Internet radio.  
In such cases, you do not connect the ABX-N300 directly to the other computer or to the Internet.  
In order to connect to a computer or to the Internet, several other pieces of equipment (network devices) are required.  
The following equipment is required in order to use the ABX-N300’s network functionality.  
Router  
A router is a device that sits between the ABX-N300 and a computer, or between the ABX-N300 and the Internet, and  
controls the flow of data.  
In a network, the flow of data is referred to as “traffic.” The router plays the role of a traffic controller between the  
various devices.  
• For use with the ABX-N300, we recommend a broadband router that contains a 100Base-TX switch.  
• If you want to connect via wireless LAN, you’ll need to provide a wireless LAN router.  
• If your router has DHCP functionality, it will be easy to make network settings.  
• If you have a contract with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), use the router recommended by your ISP.  
For more information about routers, please consult your dealer or your ISP.  
Ethernet cable (CAT-5)  
Ethernet cable is what is used to actually connect the devices making up the network. There are two types of Ethernet  
cable: straight cables and cross cables.  
• The ABX-N300 uses an Ethernet straight cable that complies with CAT-5 standards. Consult your dealer for more  
information on Ethernet cables.  
• If you’re connecting via a wireless LAN, an Ethernet cable is not needed.  
Network server (such as a computer / if using a network server)  
This is a device that stores music files and delivers them to the ABX-N300 for playback.  
• The requirements for use with the ABX-N300 will differ depending on the device you’re using as a network server  
(see page 32).  
• For details about media servers supported by the ABX-N300, refer to page 32.  
• The conditions for optimal playback of music files on the ABX-N300 will depend on the network server (the  
performance of the computer) that you’re using. For details on each device, refer to the owner’s manual of the  
corresponding device.  
Internet Access (for Internet radio)  
To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection (e.g.,  
56 K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a broadband connection is strongly recommended (e.g.,  
cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.  
Notes:  
• To receive Internet radio with the ABX-N300, your broadband Internet connection must be working and able to access  
the Web. Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet connection.  
• The ABX-N300 uses DHCP to configure its network settings automatically. If you want to configure these settings  
manually, see “Network connections (Manual)” on page 29.  
• The ABX-N300 does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a  
PPPoEcompatible router.  
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server to use Internet radio. If your computer is configured  
to use a proxy server, use the same settings for the ABX-N300 (page 30).

• Disconnect your iPod/iPhone from the dock, and then  
firmly insert it back into the dock.  
• Make sure you’re using a router and modem that are  
supported by your ISP.  
• If your iPod or iPhone is in a case, remove the case  
before inserting the iPod or iPhone (see page 9).  
Playing Music Files Saved on a  
Network Server or Computer  
The indication “No Dock” or “Connecting”  
remains even though your iPod/iPhone is  
connected.  
Network server or computer does not  
display a list.  
• Make sure that the network settings are correct  
(see page 20).  
• Disconnect your iPod/iPhone from the dock, and then  
firmly insert it back into the dock.  
• Power-off the ABX-N300, or disconnect the AC  
adapter. Then turn on the power once again, and  
connect your iPod/iPhone.  
• Make sure that the router is set correctly.  
• If the ABX-N300 is connected via a wireless LAN, the  
state of the radio signal may make it impossible for the  
ABX-N300 to connect to the server, or may cause the  
connection to be interrupted. Try connecting via a  
wired LAN.  
Network  
Can’t use the network server.  
Can’t play back.  
• Make sure that the network server has the correct  
settings (see page 20).  
• Is the file you’re attempting to play supported by the  
ABX-N300 (see page 32)?  
• Make sure that the network server is running.  
• Make sure that the network server is correctly  
connected to your home network.  
• Make sure that the router’s LAN port is correctly  
connected to the ABX-N300.  
• If the ABX-N300 is connected via a wireless LAN, the  
state of the radio signal may make playback  
impossible, or may cause the audio to be interrupted.  
Try connecting via a wired LAN.  
• In order to play back music files from a computer,  
®
• Make sure that the correct IP address is assigned in the  
ABX-N300’s “Network Info” (see page 30).  
you’ll need to start up Windows Media Player 11 or  
12, and make settings for it (see pages 20).  
Sound is interrupted while playing music  
files from a network server.  
AirPlay  
No Sound during AirPlay playback.  
• Make sure that the network server meets the operating  
requirements (see page 32).  
• After switching the input to something other than  
“AirPlay,” pause iTunes or your iPod touch/iPhone/  
iPad and wait at least ten seconds before resuming  
playback.  
• If you’re using a computer as the network server, try  
closing all application software other than the server  
®
software (such as Windows Media Player 12).  
• The playback sound might be interrupted if your  
computer is downloading or copying a large amount of  
files.  
• Click the AirPlay icon [] to temporarily disable the  
iTunes or iPod touch/iPhone/iPad connection, and  
then try reconnecting and playing back (see page 17).  
• Try turning the ABX-N300’s power off and then on  
again. Alternatively, disconnect the AC adapter, and  
wait at least ten seconds before reconnecting it and  
turning the power on again.  
Internet Radio  
Can’t listen to Internet radio.  
• Try resetting the ABX-N300 (see page 33).  
• Try restarting or resetting iTunes or your iPod touch/  
iPhone/iPad.  
• Make sure that the format being transmitted by the  
radio station is supported by the ABX-N300  
(see page 32).  
• The radio station may be off air or overly busy. Try  
again after a while.  
• Check whether you can connect to the Internet from a  
different device. If not, power-off all devices  
connected to the network, wait for a while, and then  
turn them on again.

Troubleshooting—Continued  
• When connected via a wireless LAN, radio conditions  
may make it impossible for the ABX-N300 to connect  
to the server, or the audio might be interrupted, or the  
image and audio might lose synchronization. Try  
connecting via a wired LAN.  
External Components  
Insufficient volume from portable audio  
player.  
• Raise the volume on the portable audio player.  
• Use a connection cable that does not contain a built-in  
resistor.  
Can’t operate AirPlay.  
• In some cases you won’t be able to perform operations  
from the ABX-N300 itself or using the buttons of the  
remote controller. If so, perform the operations from  
your iPod touch/iPhone/iPad.  
• If you’ve switched the input to something other than  
“AirPlay,” pause your iPod touch/iPhone/iPad and  
wait at least ten seconds before resuming playback.  
• If you turned the power off during AirPlay playback,  
pause your iPod touch/iPhone/iPad and wait at least  
ten seconds before resuming playback.  
No sound is heard from your turntable.  
• Make sure the turntable has a built-in phono equalizer.  
If the turntable doesn’t have a phono equalizer built-  
in, you must provide one.  
• If you’re using a record player with an MC cartridge,  
you’ll need a step-up transformer or a head amp.  
Timers  
• If multiple ABX-N300 units are playing  
The timers don’t work.  
simultaneously, AirPlay might not be controlled  
correctly. Be careful not to let the remote control laser  
beam be received by multiple ABX-N300 units.  
• Are the clock and timer set correctly? Could there be  
a mistake in the day of the week, the 24-hour/12-hour  
time display setting, or the AM/PM setting  
(see pages 23 and 24)?  
Rocketboost™  
(North American models only)  
• The timer will not operate if the power is already on at  
the start time. Make sure that the ABX-N300 is in  
standby mode at the timer start time (see page 25).  
• If the times of the two timers overlap, the timer that is  
set later will not operate. Set the two timers to non-  
overlapping times (see page 24).  
Cannot connect to a Rocketboost network.  
• If the joining process is failing, make sure that only  
one of your Rocketboost wireless devices has the Hub  
switch enabled.  
• Make sure the timer is set to suitable volume setting  
(see page 25).  
• Make sure that you have installed the WLC-TR1  
(sold separately).  
• If “Standby Mode” is set to “Normal,” the system will  
start up when the timer-on time arrives; this means  
that it will be approximately 30 seconds later when  
sound actually begins to play.  
• Make sure that the link is established by Rocketboost  
setup menu.  
• The maximum number of Rocketboost devices in a  
Rocketboost Network at the same time is five. If you  
already have five devices and attempt to join another  
one, then joining will fail for the new device. Power  
down one of your devices and try again.  
Clock is not shown in standby mode.  
• Pressing the remote control’s [DISPLAY] button will  
make the clock appear for eight seconds (see page 23).  
• It’s not possible to make the clock remain displayed in  
standby mode.  
Remote Controller  
The remote controller doesn’t work  
properly.  
The ABX-N300 contains a microcomputer. In very  
rare situations, severe interference, noise from an  
external source, or static electricity may cause it to  
malfunction or lockup. In the unlikely event that this  
should happen, unplug the AC adapter, wait at least ten  
seconds, and then plug it back in again. If this doesn’t  
resolve the issue, reset the ABX-N300 to its factory  
defaults (see page 33).  
• Replace the battery with a new one (see page 8).  
• The ABX-N300’s remote control sensor is being  
subjected to bright light (inverter-type fluorescent  
light or sunlight) (see page 8).  
• The ABX-N300 may malfunction if fluorescent light  
bulbs in the room are wearing out and flickering.  
Please check the fluorescent lights.
