System On Function: When you turn on the AV receiver, the iPod turns on as well.

System Off Function: When you turn off the AV receiver, the iPod turns off as well.

Auto Power On Function*: If you start iPod play- back while the AV receiver is on Standby, the AV receiver will automatically turn on and select your iPod as the input source. Then, your iPod will start playback.

with both an cable and an audio cable to use the

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