USING DOCKING STATION

The Bridge III is an optional dock that is compatible with most docking iPod models, 4G and later, and iPhone models (not included). When The Bridge III is connected to its proprietary input on the AVR 2600 and the iPod or iPhone is docked, you may play the audio, video and still-image materials on your iPod or iPhone through your high-quality audio/video system; operate the iPod or iPhone using the AVR remote or the AVR’s front-panel controls; view navigation messages on the AVR’s front panel or a connected video display; and charge the iPod or iPhone.

When the source The Bridge is selected and an iPod or iPhone is docked, the message “The Bridge” appears in the front-panel Message Display. If the AVR doesn’t detect the iPod or iPhone, turn off the AVR, remove the iPod or iPhone from The Bridge III and reset the iPod or iPhone. When the iPod or iPhone returns to its main menu, redock it and turn on the AVR.

Table 5 summarizes the controls available with The Bridge III during normal playback.

While a selection is playing, the song title and play mode icon will appear in the front-panel Message Display.

If a video monitor is connected to the AVR 2600 and the system is not in iPod Manual Mode, the Now Playing screen will appear and display the play mode icon, song title, artist and album. A graphic bar indicates the current play position within the track. If random or repeat play has been programmed, an icon will appear in the upper right corner.

The screen may disappear from view, depending on the Setup and Slide-In Menus setting in the System Settings menu (described in the Advanced Functions section). Restore the Now Playing screen to view by pressing either of the 7/3 Buttons.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use the 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.

Press the Menu Button to view the slide-out menu:

Music: Navigates the audio materials stored on the iPod or iPhone. Use the Page Up/Down Control on the remote to scroll through the content a page at a time.

Photo/Manual: Select this line to view still images stored on a photo-capable iPod or iPhone. The system will switch to iPod Manual Mode, and control will shift to the iPod. Use the screen and controls on the iPod. The AVR remote may also be used.

To view photos on a video monitor connected to the AVR, select the photo and press the Play Button on the iPod, or press the OK Button on the remote three times.

Videos: Select this line to view videos stored on an iPod that supports video browsing or an iPhone.

NOTES ON VIDEO PLAYBACK:

As of this writing, video browsing is only supported on the iPod 5G, iPod classic (80GB, 120GB and 160GB), iPod nano 3G and 4G, and iPod touch or iPhone (when loaded with software version 2 or higher). For other iPod models, it is not possible to view photos (except iPod 4G) or videos on an external monitor while using The Bridge III. Due to the design of the iPhone, it is not possible to view photos stored on the iPhone using The Bridge III.

Before attempting to view photos or videos stored on your device, check the Video Settings menu on the device 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. If your selection was playing and is paused, the iPod or iPhone requires you to reselect the video for the new TV Out setting to take effect.

If you do not see the Videos line in the menu, and the iPod supports video browsing and has video content stored on it, you may need to turn off the AVR, remove the iPod from The Bridge III, reset the iPod, turn the AVR back on and dock the iPod again. An iPhone may not need to be reset, as simply undocking and redocking it may resolve the problem. This
