Controlling an RI Dock

By pressing the REMOTE MODE button that’s been programmed with the remote control code for your Dock, you can control your iPod in the Dock with the following buttons.

For some RI docks, the [ON/STANDBY] button may not work with a remote control code 82990 (without u). In this case, make an uconnection and enter a remote control code 82351 (with u).

For details on entering a remote control code, see page 88.

When Using an RI Dock:

Connect the RI Dock to the TV/TAPE IN, VCR/DVR IN, or GAME IN L/R jacks.

Set the RI Dock’s RI MODE switch to HDD or HDD/ DOCK.

Set the AV receiver’s Input Display to DOCK (see page 44).

See to the Dock’s instruction manual for more infor- mation.

aON/STANDBY button

Turns the iPod on or off.

Notes:

This button does not turn the Onkyo DS-A2 or DS- A2X RI Dock on or off.

Your iPod may not respond the first time you press this button, in which case you should press it again. This is because the remote controller transmits the On and Standby commands alternately, so if your iPod is already on, it will remain on when the remote control- ler transmits an On command. Similarly, if your iPod is already off, it will remain off when the remote con- troller transmits an Off command.
