Getting Started In the Box
Congratulations on your purchase of the DLO HomeDock HD, bringing the music, videos, podcasts and more from your iPod to life on your high-definition TV. Connecting HomeDock HD to your home entertainment center is a snap. We will get you started in three easy steps:
STEP 1 - Set up your HomeDock HD
Properly connect the power, audio and video cables to your home entertainment center and remove the plastic strip from your HomeDock HD Remote Control.
STEP 2 - Power up
Turn on your TV and select the correct input for HomeDock HD. Plugging in your HomeDock HD will turn it on and start the boot-up process, which may take a few minutes.
STEP 3 – Dock your iPod, browse and enjoy
Dock your iPod, allowing it to pivot back and rest securely against the HomeDock HD support stand. Once your iPod has initialized, use the included RF Remote Control to browse and select your iPod content on TV.
NOTE: For detailed information on setting up your HomeDock HD, see Setting Up HomeDock HD [pg.6].
IMPORTANT: On your iPod, ensure that “TV Out” under iPod Video Settings is set to either Ask or On in order
to enjoy the video content of your iPod using HomeDock HD. For iPod touch in particular, see Viewing the

Connect to an AV receiver using S-Video, RCA, or HDMI connections.•
Connect to your home stereo or powered speakers without using a TV. See • Using HomeDock HD
with External Speakers [pg.18]

IMPORTANT: On your iPod, ensure that “TV Out” under iPod Video Settings is set to either Ask or On in order
to enjoy the video content of your iPod using HomeDock HD. For iPod touch in particular, see Viewing the
