USB UPDATE PROCEDURE
The SoundDock Digital Music System changed
the way it charges the iPod in October of 2008.
The system now charges via the USB charge
pins on the iPod.
This change was based on information received
from Apple describing a change to the iPod
charge circuit. iPods manufactured before 8/08
have the ability to charge via Firewire and USB,
some new iPods introduced in November of
2008 will not support the Firewire charge circuit.
It is possible to upgrade SoundDock systems
built before 8/08 from Firewire to USB charging
by replacing the Dock and DSP boards with the
upgraded versions. Use this procedure to up-
grade older systems to USB charging.
