When Harman Kardon’s is connected and a compatible Apple® iPod® is docked in The Bridge, press the DMP Selector Button 0 to choose the iPod as the input source allowing playback of audio materials on your iPod through your high-quality audio/video system.

When The Bridge is properly connected and a compatible iPod is properly docked, the Upper Display Line will read DMP IN. Once that message appears, use the remote to control the iPod.

While a selection is playing, the song title, artist and album name, if available on the iPod, will scroll across the lower line in the front panel Message Display . The upper line will display the elapsed time of the track on the left, the play mode icon, and the time remaining on the right.

Figure 17a

Whether or not an iPod is docked in The Bridge, the screen shown in the figure above will appear on a video display connected to the HS 350, but you will not be able to affect the screen without an iPod docked in The Bridge. Once an iPod is docked in The Bridge and selected as a source, the On Screen Display will change to show a reflection of your iPod menu.

Navigate The Bridge’s screens by using the KLAB Buttons 9 to highlight a line and pressing the Set Button 6 to select the line. Press the Menu Button B to return to the previous level of The Bridge’s menu system.

Audio: Shows the audio track that is currently playing. Options are shown on both menu lines on the bottom of the screen.

Repeat: Sets the repeat mode. (Repeat 1, Repeat Folder).

Random: Activates Random Playback when possible.

Time: Shows the elapsed time and remaining time of a song currently playing.

NOTE: iTunes allows you to set certain selections to always or never remember playback position, or to be skipped in Shuffle mode. The HS 350’s settings cannot override these iTunes settings.

In addition, if a video display is connected to the HS 350, a screen will appear to display information about the iPod’s status and the track. The top line will display the play mode icon, with the phrase “Now Playing” appearing to the right to remind you that you are viewing the status of the current track, as opposed to another menu screen. Below that the HS 350 displays the total number of tracks in the current play list on the right (all materials on the iPod are considered one of the play lists) with the number of the current track on the left. The song title, artist and album are displayed. At the bottom of the screen is a graphic bar indicating the current play position within the track, with the elapsed and remaining times appearing below the bar.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use a screen saver built into your video display to avoid possible damage from “burn-in” that may occur with plasma and many CRT displays when a still image, such as a menu screen, remains on display for an extended period of time.
