CONTROLLING YOUR VIDEOS

1.Dock your iPod onto your HomeDock Deluxe (make sure it’s in iPod Mode)

2.Navigate, select and play a Video from your iPod. You can use the Remote’s Nav arrows to navigate your iPod’s menus and make your selec- tion. Be sure to select “TV ON” when prompted by your iPod.

3.Control Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Reverse and more from the comfort of your couch with the HomeDock Deluxe remote control.

NOTE: If you have questions or need help setting up your iPod for videos, please visit Apple Support at www.apple.com/support/ipod.

NOT QUITE DVD QUALITY JUST YET

The iPod videos are very watchable on a full size TV, but don’t expect perfect DVD quality. Video currently available at the iTunes Store is highly compressed down to 320x240 pixels. That's 1/4 the size of regular broadcast quality (640x480).

Video compatible iPods do an amazing job of upconverting its smaller videos to broadcast quality, but again don’t expect a DVD quality picture, it’s more like a VCR. For the best picture quality possible, do connect your HomeDock Deluxe to your TV using the S-Video output (S-Video Cable sold separately).
