Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of the DLO HomeDock Deluxe Dock for iPod with On-Screen Navigation, the iPod dock that lets you enjoy your iPod’s music, photos and videos in your living room. Connecting HomeDock Deluxe to your home entertainment center is a snap. We’ll get you started in three easy steps.

STEP 1 - ASSEMBLE YOUR HOMEDOCK DELUXE

Attach the HomeDock Deluxe iPod Support Stand and make the proper power, audio and video connections to your Home Entertainment Center. See page 6.

STEP 2 - CONNECT YOUR IPOD AND ADJUST HOMEDOCK DELUXE STAND

Adjust the HomeDock Deluxe Stand to fit your particular iPod. See page 8.

STEP 3 - SELECT YOUR MUSIC, A PHOTO SLIDESHOW OR VIDEO AND PLAY

Turn on HomeDock Deluxe, select some music, pictures or a video on your iPod and press Play. To use On-Screen Music Navigation, press the Mode button (page 15 ) on the top-left of your HomeDock Deluxe remote control.

NOTE: The current Apple iPods do not allow on-screen navigation of photos or videos - only music. However, you still can start and control the playback of photos and videos with your HomeDock Deluxe. To select and play photo slideshows and videos, be sure to set your HomeDock Deluxe to iPod Mode.

Your HomeDock Deluxe arrives in iPod Mode. This mode allows you to select music, photos and videos directly from your iPod, then control all basic transport functions (like Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Reverse, etc.) with the HomeDock Deluxe remote control from the couch.

Setting Up HomeDock Deluxe

ASSEMBLING YOUR DLO HOMEDOCK DELUXE

1.Remove the adjustment screw on top of the Dock

2.Fit the iPod Support Stand into the cavity on top of the HomeDock Deluxe. NOTE: Be sure to line up the Support Stand’s cutout slot with the adjustment screw on the Dock.

3.Tighten the Support Stand’s adjustment screw to secure the Stand in place. Do not over-tighten the screw.

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. If you want use your Homedock Deluxe in On-Screen Navigation Mode or to select and view videos from your iPod, you need to hook it up to your TV.

Connecting Your iPod

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.

HomeDock Deluxe Modes

HomeDock Deluxe has two distinct modes: On-Screen Navigation Mode and iPod Mode. It’s very important to understand the differences in the two.

NOTE: Your HomeDock Deluxe arrives in iPod Mode. To toggle between iPod Mode and On-Screen Navigation Mode, simply push the Mode button on the top-left of your HomeDock Deluxe remote control.

ON-SCREEN NAVIGATION MODE

Use On-Screen Navigation Mode when:

HomeDock Deluxe is connected to a TV

you want to view and select your iPod’s music from your TV screen

you wish to see iPod’s currently playing song and information

On-Screen Navigation Mode allows you to view, navigate and select your iPod’s music on your TV screen. You can change display settings, view currently playing song info, view songs by category, or use iPod’s song info as a screensaver.

IPOD MODE

Use iPod Mode when:

you want to view iPod photo slideshows or iPod videos from your iPod

you’re using HomeDock Deluxe connected to your stereo (but not your TV)

you want to play iPod’s music without turning on your TV

iPod Mode lets you browse and select music, pictures and video directly on your iPod. You can navigate iPod’s menu screens via the arrow buttons on the HomeDock Deluxe’s remote control or directly on the iPod itself while docked on top of your HomeDock Deluxe.
