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 (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 II.
•• Before attempting to view photos or 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 PAL, to match the capabilities of your video display. If your selection was playing and is paused, the iPod 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 II, reset the iPod, turn the AVR back on and dock the iPod again. This procedure may also help when a video program is selected but the “Now Playing” screen appears instead of the video images.
To exit iPod Manual Mode, with the AVR remote in The Bridge mode, press the Menu Button. To return to a previous menu level on the iPod, press the Back/ Exit Button.
Random: Select this setting for random playback, also known as “Shuffle
Mode”. Each press of the OK Button switches the setting: shuffle by Song, shuffle by Album, or Off to end random playback.
Repeat: Select this setting to repeat a track or all tracks in the current
album or playlist. Each press of the OK Button switches the setting: repeat Off, repeat One or repeat All.
NOTE: The iTunes application allows you to exempt some tracks from Shuffle mode. The AVR 760/AVR 660 cannot override this setting.
While a selection is playing, the song title and play mode icon will appear in the
If a video monitor is connected to the AVR 760/AVR 660 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.

Then use the controls on the iPod touch to run the application. Due to the wide variety of applications and many factors affecting them, playback is not guaranteed.
While scrolling, hold the key to scroll faster. Use the Page Up/Down control on the remote to scroll a page at a time (not in Manual Mode).
