MODE*4

With some iPod/iPhone models, generations and RI Docks, certain buttons may not work as expected.

For detailed operation of iPod/iPhone, please refer to the instruction manual of the RI Dock.

TOP MENU works as the mode button when used with the DS-A2 RI Dock.

DISPLAY turns on the backlight for a few seconds.

This button does not turn the Onkyo DS-A2 or DS-A2X RI Dock on or off. Also, your iPod/iPhone 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/iPhone is already on, it will remain on when the remote controller transmits the On command. Similarly, if your iPod/iPhone is already off, it will remain off when the remote controller transmits the Off command.

Resume mode

With the Resume function, you can resume playback of the song that was playing when you removed your iPod/iPhone from the Onkyo DS-A2 RI Dock.
