Step Three: Place the black insert in The Bridge Ill, making sure to push it all the way down. See Figure 2.

NOTE: Do not place an iPod or iPhone in The Bridge Ill unless both the black insert and a dock adapter are installed. Otherwise, the iPod or iPhone will not connect properly, and both it and the Bridge Ill may sustain damage that is not covered by the warranty.

OPERATION USING "Bridge! DOCKING STATION When The Bridge Ills connected to its proprietary input on the AVR and the iPod or iPhone is docked, you may play the audio, video and still-image materials on your iPod or iPhone through your high-quality audio/video system; operate the iPod or iPhone using the AVR remote or the AVR's front-panel controls; view navi- gation messages on the AVR's front panel or a con- nected video display; and charge the iPod or iPhone.

When the source The Bridge is selected and an iPod or iPhone is docked, the message “The Bridge” appears in the front-panel Message Display. If the AVR doesn't detect the iPod or iPhone, turn off the AVR, remove the iPod or iPhone from The Bridge Ill and reset the iPod or iPhone. When the iPod or iPhone returns to its main menu, redock it and turn on the AVR. Table 4 summarizes the controls available with The Bridge Il! during normal playback.

While a selection is playing, the song title and play- mode icon will appear in the front-panel Message Display. f a video monitor is connected to the AVR and the system is not in iPod Manual Mode (see below), the Now Playing screen will appear and dis- play the play mode icon, song title, artist and album. A graphic bar indicates the current play position within the track. If random or repeat play has been programmed, an icon will appear in the upper right corner.

The screen may disappear from view, depending on the display settings on the AVR. Restore the Now Playing screen to view by pressing either of the </» Buttons.

NOTE: lt is strongly recommended that you use the screen saver built into your video display to avoid possible damage from “burn-in” that may occur with plasma and many CRT displays when a still image, such as a menu screen, remains on display for an extended period of time.

Press the Menu Button to view the slide-out menu:

Music: Navigates the audio materials stored on the iPod or iPhone. Use the Page Up/Down Control on the remote to scroll through the content a page at a time.

Photo/Manual: Select this line to view still imag- es stored on a photo-capable iPod or iPhone. The sys- tem will switch to iPod Manual Mode, and control will shift to the iPod. Use the screen and controls on the iPod. The AVR remote may also be used. To view pho- tos on a video monitor connected to the AVR, select the photo and press the Play Button on the iPod, or press the OK Button on the remote three times.

Videos: Select this line to view videos stored on an iPod that supports video browsing or an iPhone.

NOTES ON VIDEO PLAYBACK:

< As of this writing, video browsing is only supported on the iPod 56, iPod classic (80GB,120GB and 160GB), iPod nano 3G and 46, and iPod touch or iPhone (when loaded with software version 2 or higher). For other iPod models, it is not possible to view photos (except iPod 46G) or videos on an exter- nal monitor while using The Bridge Ill.

< Before attempting to view photos or videos stored on your device, check the Video Settings menu on the device and make sure that the TV Out setting is On. The TV Signal setting should be NTSC/PAL, to match the capabilities of your video display. If your selection was playing and is paused, the iPod or iPhone requires you to reselect the video for the new TV Out setting to take effect.

If you do not see the Videos line in the menu, and the iPod supports video browsing and has video content stored on it, you may need to turn off the AVR, remove the iPod from The Bridge Ill, reset the iPod, turn the AVR back on and dock the iPod again. An iPhone may not need to be reset, as simply undocking and redocking it may resolve the prob- lem. This procedure may also help when a video program is selected but the “Now Playing” screen appears instead of the video images.

To exit iPod Manual Mode, with the AVR remote in The Bridge mode, press the Menu Button. To return to a previous menu level, press the Back/Exit Button or the Button

Random: Select this setting for random playback, also known as “Shuffle Mode”. Each press of the OK Button switches the setting: shuffle by Song, shuffle by Album, or Off to end random playback.

OPERATION Repeat: Select this setting to repeat a track or all tracks in the current album or playlist. Each press of the OK Button switches the setting: repeat Off, repeat One or repeat All

NOTE: The iTunes application allows you to exempt some tracks from Shuffle mode. The AVR cannot over- ride this setting.

The AVR supports audio playback from some appli- cations available for the iPhone and the iPod touch. Place the system in iPod Manual Mode by pressing the Menu Button and selecting “Photo/Manual”. Then use the controls on the iPhone or iPod touch to run the application. Due to the wide variety of applica- tions and many factors affecting them, playback is not guaranteed.

While scrolling, hold the key to scroll faster. Use the Page Up/Down control on the remote to scroll a page at a time (not in manual mode)

+ The Play and Pause functions are not available unless content has been selected for playback.

+ To search within a track (not in Manual Mode), press and hold the indicated button. Press the Previous Track Button once to skip to the beginning of the current track. Press the Previous Track Button twice to skip to the beginning of the previous track.

iPod MANUAL MODE Press the Menu Button and select Photo/Manual to enter iPod Manual Mode. This is required to view photos stored on the iPod. Table 5 summarizes the controls available with The Bridge Il! in iPod in Manual mode.
