Tips + Troubleshooting
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-TV Navigation of your Music or Videos. 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. Simply switch to iPod Mode by pressing the
Mode Button on your HomeDock Deluxe Remote Control, and you can control your iPod without
On-TV Navigation.
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-TV Navigation to select your Music and Videos, you have to
connect your HomeDock Deluxe to your TV.
My HomeDock Deluxe isn’t working, what’s wrong?
First, be sure that your HomeDock Deluxe is powered on. Next, make sure that you are in the
desired mode - On-TV Navigation Mode or iPod Mode. To change modes, simply push the Mode
Button on your Remote Control. See Remote Control Functions [pg.11]
My Music or Video sounds a little distorted and fuzzy.
Adjust Volume for the best sound quality.
If your iPod’s Music through your HomeDock Deluxe sounds unusually low or noisy, be sure that
your HomeDock Deluxe’s volume is set at an adequate level. The balance of volume between your
HomeDock Deluxe and Stereo/TV can affect the audio quality significantly.
I’ve selected a photo slideshow to play on my TV, but it’s only playing on my iPod
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 Settings.
Remember, iPod nano does not support external photo slideshows. For more information
see the NOTE on [pg.20]
The HomeDock Deluxe sometimes seems to have a lag time before it displays my iPod’s
content like album art or song information Why?
The response delay time, if any, is usually the HomeDock Deluxe waiting for information
from the iPod. Hard-drive based iPods like the 5G iPod with video take longer than flash-
based iPods like the iPod nano. How long it takes depends on how much content is on the
iPod and what information is being requested. For instance, when you’ve selected a screen
saver on the HomeDock Deluxe that displays “large” Album Art 200 x 200 pixels, (if avail-
able), it can take up to 20 seconds for the iPod to access that art work. See Things to
Understand About iPod Album Art [pg.20] for more information.
Why does the HomeDock Deluxe Remote use IR and not RF?
Like most DVD Players, Receivers and TVs - the HomeDock Deluxe is intended for the
home entertainment center / living room use and therefore uses the industry standard IR
technology for its remote control. This also ensures compatibility with many learning
remotes that let you consolidate all your various remotes into one.
