OPERATION
NOTES:
•The Play and Pause functions are not available unless content has been selected for playback by navigating the menu system.
•For the Search function, press and hold the indicated button. Pressing the Previous Track Button once skips to the beginning of the current track. Press the Previous Track Button twice to skip to the beginning of the previous track.
While a selection is playing, the song title, artist and album name, if available on the iPod, will scroll across the upper line in the front panel Message Display. The lower line will display the elapsed time of the track on the left, the play mode icon, and the time remaining on the right.
In addition, if a video display is connected to the AVR 247, a screen will appear briefly 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 indicate that you are viewing the status of the current track. Below that the AVR displays the total number of tracks in the current play list on the right (one of the play lists includes all materials on the iPod) 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.
After a period of time the screen may disappear from view. The length of time is set using the

NOTES ON VIDEO PLAYBACK:
•Before attempting to play videos stored on your iPod, check the Video Settings menu on the iPod and make sure that the TV Out setting is set to On. The TV Signal setting should be NTSC to match the capabilities of your video display. Set Widescreen to On or Off, depending on the aspect ratio of your video display. If your selection was playing and paused at the time you changed the TV Out setting, the iPod may require you to navigate its menu system and reselect the video for the new TV Out setting to take effect. Resuming play from the Now Playing function may not reflect the change to the TV Out setting. This is a function of the iPod, not the AVR 247.
•In Video mode, the iPod’s menus will not be visible on your video display, although you may view them on the iPod’s screen. You may operate the iPod using the AVR remote, as long as it is in The Bridge device mode.
•You may view the AVR’s
