WHERE ARE MY PODCASTS WHEN I’M USING ON-SCREEN NAVIGATION?
The HomeDock Deluxe categorizes your Podcasts under Genres. Just select
Genres from the Music Menu and find the Podcast you’d like to hear. If you
want, you can organize your Podcasts into a Playlist in iTunes and then access
them on your television using the HomeDock Deluxe.
NOTE: Your iPod will sometimes organize certain Podcasts under Albums or
Artists, so be sure to check there as well.
MY HOMEDOCK DELUXE ISN’T WORKING, WHAT’S THE DEAL?
First, be sure that your HomeDock Deluxe is powered on. Next, make sure
that you are in the desired mode -
On-Screen Navigation or iPod. To change
modes, simply push the
Mode button on your Remote Control.
I’VE SELECTED A VIDEO OR PHOTO SLIDESHOW TO PLAY ON MY TV BUT
INSTEAD IT’S ONLY PLAYING ON MY IPOD’S SCREEN.
On your iPod, check to see that your “TV Out” setting under Video/Slideshow
Settings is set to either “Ask” or “On.” Your Video or Slideshow will not play on
your TV unless you select “TV On” when prompted by your iPod in the “Ask”
setting, or you have selected “On” under “TV Out” in Video Settings. Your iPod
arrives in the “Ask” setting, so you will have to select “TV On” each time you
start up a video or photo slideshow unless you change your iPod’s Settings.
NTSC - PAL SWITCHING
The HomeDock Deluxe’s default broadcast format is NTSC. However, it is PAL
compatible too. If you have a TV that is formatted for PAL and your iPod’s TV
signal is set for PAL, simply select the PAL setting on the back of the
HomeDock Deluxe base unit.

Tips and Troubleshooting
WHY CAN’T I USE ON-SCREEN NAVIGATION TO BROWSE AND SELECT MY
VIDEOS AND SLIDESHOWS USING THE HOMEDOCK DELUXE?
The current Apple iPod firmware requires that you select and start video or
photo slideshows on the iPod itself.
It does not allow on-screen navigation of
videos or photos - only music.
You can, however control playback and trans-
port functions of videos and photos like Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind,
etc. using the HomeDock Deluxe Remote. To see the many functions you can
control with the HomeDock Deluxe Remote Control, refer to
Playing Photo
Slideshows
or Watching iPod Videos. (See pages 14-16)
DOES THE HOMEDOCK DELUXE CHARGE MY IPOD’S BATTERY?
Yes. The HomeDock Deluxe fully charges and powers your iPod whenever your
iPod is connected.
DO I HAVE TO USE A TV WITH THE HOMEDOCK DELUXE?
No. The only time you need a TV is to view Videos or Photos from a Video or
Photo compatible iPod or for on-screen navigation of your music. With all
other uses, the HomeDock Deluxe is a music-based, remote controlled home
docking system for your iPod that requires nothing but a stereo or powered
speakers to play your iPod’s music.
Of course, to get the most out of your HomeDock Deluxe, you should connect
it to a TV and home stereo. Remember, in order to use
On-Screen Music
Navigation
to select and choose your music, you have to connect your
HomeDock Deluxe to your TV.
