UP-A1 Dock

With the UP-A1 Dock, you can easily play the music, photo, or movie stored on your Apple iPod through the AV receiver and enjoy great sound.

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to operate your iPod.

Basic Operation

The AV receiver may take several seconds to startup, so you might not hear the first few seconds of the first song.

Auto Power On

If you start iPod playback while the AV receiver is on Standby, the AV receiver will automatically turn on and select your iPod as the input source.

Direct Change

If you start iPod playback while listening to another input source, the AV receiver will automatically select your iPod as the input source.

Using the AV receiver’s Remote Controller

You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control basic iPod functions (78).

Operating Notes

Functionality depends on your iPod model and generation.

Before selecting a different input source, stop iPod playback to prevent the AV receiver from selecting the iPod input source by mistake.

If any accessories are connected to your iPod, the AV receiver may not be able to select the input source properly.

When connecting UP-A1 Dock to the radio tuner UP-HT1 (North American models)/UP-DT1 (European, Australian and Asian models) with AUTO selected by the tuner’s Mode Selector switch, you can switch the input source between UP- A1 Dock and the tuner, by pressing PORT repeatedly on the front panel.

While your iPod is in the UP-A1 Dock, its volume control has no effect. If you adjust your iPod models volume control while it’s in the UP-A1 Dock, make sure it’s not set too high before you reconnect your headphones.

The Auto Power On function will not work if you set your iPod in the UP-A1 Dock while it is playing.

When Zone 2/3 is turned on, you can’t use Auto Power On and Direct Change functions.

Do not turn off the power with the iPod still connected to this unit via the UP-A1 Dock.

Set your iPod in the UP-A1 Dock after the AV receiver turns on.

Using Your iPod models Alarm Clock

You can use your iPod models Alarm Clock function to automatically turn on your iPod and the AV receiver at a specified time. The AV receiver’s input source will auto- matically be set to the PORT selector.

Note

To use this function, your iPod must be in the UP-A1 Dock, and the UP-A1 Dock must be connected to the AV receiver.

This function works only in the Standard mode (79).

When you use this function, be sure to set the AV receiver’s vol- ume control to a suitable level.

When Zone 2/3 is turned on, you can’t use this function.

You cannot use this function for sound effects on your iPod.

Charging Your iPod models Battery

The UP-A1 Dock charges your iPod models battery while your iPod is in the UP-A1 Dock and connected to the UNIVERSAL PORT jack on the AV receiver. While your iPod is seated in the UP-A1 Dock, its battery will be charged when the AV receiver is set to “On” or “Standby”.
