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 RI). In this case, make an RI connection and enter a remote control code 82351 (with RI).

For details on entering a remote control code, see page 84.

When Using an RI Dock:

Connect the RI Dock to the TV/TAPE IN, VCR/DVR IN, or CBL/SAT 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 but- ton, in which case you should press it again. This is because the remote controller transmits the On and Standby com- mands alternately, so if your iPod is already on, it will remain on when the remote controller transmits an On com- mand. Similarly, if your iPod is already off, it will remain off when the remote controller transmits an Off command.
