See the Initial Setup section for more information on using the DMP SETTING menu.
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 146.
•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.

•The MP4 and H.264 video formats often used for videos to be played on iPods are intended for optimal performance on the iPod’s small screen. Playback on larger displays may have different results.
