Why are my videos or slideshows only playing on my iPod

screen instead of on my TV?

On your iPod, check to see that yourTV Out setting under

Video/ Photo Settings is set to either Ask or On.Your iPod

arrives in the Ask setting, so unless you change your iPod

Settings to On, you will have to selectTV On each time you

start up a video or slideshow. For iPod touch in particular,

seeViewing the video content of your iPod touch.

Does my HomeDock HD have a Power-Saver Mode?

Yes, it does. If no iPod is docked on your HomeDock HD for

30 minutes, HomeDock HD will go into Standby Mode.To

exit Standby Mode, dock your iPod or press any button on

the remote control. If your iPod is still docked and you press

the Power button on the remote control to turn off your

HomeDock HD, it will go into Standby Mode as it continues

to charge your iPod.To exit Standby Mode when your iPod

is docked, press the Power button on the remote control.
Also, if you do not dock your iPod within 5 minutes of the

initial boot-up of your HomeDock HD, your HomeDock HD

will go into Standby Mode.

My TV screen is blank, or shows just gray and black static.

What’s wrong?

If your HomeDock HD is connected to yourTV using

S-Video or RCA cables, your HomeDock HD may be set

up for HDMI resolution. If possible, plug your HomeDock

HD in using HDMI cables and change the resolution to

standard-definition format in the Settings > Resolution menu.

Then disconnect the HDMI cable and reconnect HomeDock

HD to yourTV with S-Video or RCA cables.

To change the resolution setting without being able to see

the HomeDock HD interface on yourTV screen, enter the

key sequence on your HomeDock HD remote control: UP,

UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, and then press the Up

or Down buttons to cycle through the four different

resolutions. Give each setting a few seconds to register

with yourTV before pushing the Up or Down button

again.When the correct resolution setting is selected,

you will once again be able to see the HomeDock HD

interface on yourTV screen.

My music or video sounds a little distorted and fuzzy.

What can I do?

First, adjust volume for the best sound quality. If listening to

your music through your HomeDock HD sounds unusually

low or noisy, be sure that your HomeDock HD’s volume is

set at an adequate level.The balance of volume between

your HomeDock HD and stereo/TV can affect the audio

quality significantly. This is only necessary with an AV

connection. When using an HDMI connection, volume is

not managed with your HomeDock HD.Also, it is a good

idea to adjust your iPod EQ settings.We recommend setting

your iPod EQ to Off and adjusting yourTV or home stereo’s

bass and treble controls to 0.Then you can experiment with

iPod EQ settings, and adding bass and treble to your desired

level.

Note:The sound quality on HomeDock HD

is only as good as the quality of the source file.

Why does my HomeDock HD sometimes seem to have a

lag time before it displays my iPod content, like Album Art

or song information?

The response delay time is usually HomeDock HD waiting

for information from the iPod. Hard-drive based iPods like

the iPod classic or 5G iPod with video take longer than flash-

based iPods like the iPod nano and iPod touch. 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 that displays “large”Album Art (if

available), it can take up to 10 seconds for the iPod to access

that artwork. See Album Art andYour HomeDock HD.
Once displayed, the artwork is cached in HomeDock HD’s

memory for faster retrieval later. If you’d like HomeDock HD

to retrieve Album Art even faster during use, choose the

Cataloging option from the Settings Menu. See “Cataloging

Album Art” in the Settings & features chapter.

Note:The 4th Generation iPod does not currently

support external display of album artwork.

The HomeDock HD interface is flickering and seems

to be frozen.What's wrong?

This is occasionally caused by the HDMI cable you are

using. Simply disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable

from the HomeDock HD base to eliminate the flicker and

un-freeze your HomeDock HD.

My HomeDock HD remote control seems to be frozen.

What do I do?

Check the remote control’s battery by pushing the small

tab towards the battery tray while pulling the tray away

from the remote.Then reinsert the battery. If this does not

work, the battery may need to be replaced.

Why do my videos appear stretched or cropped

on my TV screen?

First, ensure that yourTV is set to the appropriate viewing

format.Then, depending on which iPod you are using,

either set your “Widescreen” iPodVideo Settings to On, or

set your “FitTo Screen” or “Fullscreen” setting to Off in

order to view the digital video content in your preferred

format.
