4.Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright restrictions on any material you record. Unauthorized duplica- tion of copyrighted materials is prohibited by federal law.

Using TheBridgeTM

The Bridge is an optional dock that may be used with a compatible iPod (not included). When The Bridge is connected to its proprietary input on the AVR 147 and the iPod is docked, you may enjoy the audio, video and still-image materials on your iPod through your high-quality audio/video system, operate the iPod 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.

Either press the front-panel Source Selector repeatedly until the message “DMP/The Bridge is CONNECTED” scrolls across the front-panel and semi-OSD displays, or press the DMP Button on the remote to select The Bridge as the input source.

NOTE: 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.

It is possible to activate Repeat (one track or one album/playlist) and Shuffle (songs or albums) modes using the DMP SETTING menu (see Figure 54). This menu may also be used to turn on the Resume feature, which resumes play of the current track from the point it was interrupted, or to enable charging while the AVR is in Standby mode.

NOTE: The Resume setting disables the Remember Playback Position setting that you may set for audio and video files using later versions of iTunes. Resume affects all files on the iPod until you manually change the setting either in the DMP SETTING menu or using iTunes.

Access the DMP SETTING menu by pressing OSD to display the MASTER MENU. Press the Set Button to display the INPUT SETUP menu. When DMP/The Bridge is selected as the current source, you may scroll down to the GO TO DMP SETTING line and press the Set Button to display the DMP SETTING menu. 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 navi- gate 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 147.

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 on-screen displays while The Bridge is in use, just as you would with any other video source.

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