Tips & Tricks for Playing Music

USE PLAYLISTS

Playlists are a good way to group music by moods, genres, new albums. etc. For example: set up a“cocktails” Playlist, then a “dinner” Playlist, then an “after dinner” Playlist.

NOTE: Next Music Playlist and Previous Music Playlist buttons operate in iPod Mode only

ADJUST VOLUME FOR BEST SOUND QUALITY

If your iPod’s music through your HomeDock Deluxe sounds unusually low or noisy, be sure that your HomeDock Deluxe’s volume is set at an adequate level. The balance of volume between your HomeDock Deluxe and Stereo/TV can affect the audio quality significantly.
