About the RI Dock

With the Onkyo RI Dock, you can easily play the music stored on your Apple® iPod® through your Onkyo audio system and enjoy great sound, and watch iPod slideshows and videos on your TV.

Hooking Up the RI Dock

Depending on the Onkyo amp that you're using, choose connection methodA or B.

A: Connect the RI Dock's AUDIO OUT L/R jacks and VIDEO OUT jack to an RI Dock-compatible input on your Onkyo amp. (You might need to change the input display to "HDD" or "DOCK.")
B: Connect the RI Dock's AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to the TAPE (MD, CDR) IN jacks on your Onkyo amp. And connect the RI Dock's VIDEO OUT jack directly to your TV.

See your amp's instruction manual for details.

Note: When the AC adapter is unplugged or not connected to the RI Dock, the RI Dock will output no sound or video, functions will not work, and your iPod's battery will not be charged.

Caution: Connect the supplied RI cable to only racks. Do not connect headphones to the rack, as it will damage your equipment.

1. Using the supplied AV cable, connect the RI Dock's AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to a suitable audio input on your amp. And connect the RI Dock's VIDEO OUT jack to a video input on your Onkyo AV receiver or TV. The input you use depends on the type of Onkyo amp you have. See your amp's instruction manual for details.
2. Using the supplied rable, connect the RI Dock's jack to an jack on one of the Onkyo components in your system.
3. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the RI Dock's DC IN jack.

If you've connected the RI Dock's AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to your amp's TAPE (MD, CDR) IN jacks and also want to connect the RI Dock's VIDEO OUT jack to your amp

Connect the RI Dock's VIDEO OUT jack to an unused video input on your amp.

When you want to watch an iPod slideshow or video, select the video input source first, and then select the TAPE (MD, CDR) input source. Your AV receiver will output the audio being fed to the TAPE (MD, CDR) input, and because the video source doesn't change when the TAPE input source is selected, it'll continue to output the video being fed to the video input.

■What to do if you already have a component connected to your amp's TAPE input or RI Dock-compatible input

Connect the RI Dock to an unused AV input on your amp, and select the input source manually.
