CONNECTING HOMEDOCK DELUXE
There are several different ways you can connect HomeDock Deluxe to your
existing Home Entertainment Center. Generally we recommend you connect
the L and R Audio Out to your stereo directly, and Video Out directly to your TV.
But it’s perfectly fine to connect Audio and Video to your TV. HomeDock Deluxe
works great connected solely to your home stereo, although you wouldn’t be
able to use
On-Screen Navigation Mode or to select and view videos from your iPod, you
On-Screen Navigation. If you want use your Homedock Deluxe in
need to hook it up to your TV.

HomeDock Deluxe Modes
ADJUSTING HOMEDOCK DELUXE TO FIT YOUR IPOD
The HomeDock Deluxe can fit any dockable iPod. It can even be used with
many iPod cases left on. The first time you use your iPod, and if you ever use
another size iPod, you should adjust the HomeDock’s Support Stand to
accommodate your particular iPod. Follow these steps to do so.
1. Loosen the Support Stand Screw and
slide the Support Stand as far back
as it can go.
2. Connect your iPod by carefully lowering it onto the iPod dock connector of the HomeDock Deluxe.
3. Slide the Support Stand toward the
iPod until the iPod is gently resting
against the Support Stand Pad. The
back of the iPod should be parallel
with the Support Stand and not
leaning more forward or backward.
4. Tighten the Support Stand Screw
to keep in in place.
