Harman-Kardon AVR 3600 - Manual (Page 36)

OPERATION
NOTE: The iTunes application allows you to exempt some
tracks from Shuffle mode. The AVR 3600 cannot override this
setting.
While a selection is playing, the song title and playmode icon will
appear in the front-panel Message Display.
If a video monitor is connected to the AVR 3600 and the system is
not in iPod Manual Mode, the Now Playing screen will appear and
display the play mode icon, song title, artist and album. A graphic
bar indicates the current play position within the track. If random or
repeat play has been programmed, an icon will appear in the upper
right corner.
The screen may disappear from view, depending on the Setup and
Slide-In Menus setting in the System Settings menu (described in
the Advanced Functions section). Restore the Now Playing screen
to view by pressing either of the
7 / 3 Buttons.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use the screen
saver built into your video display to avoid possible damage
from “burn-in” that may occur with plasma and many CRT
displays when a still image, such as a menu screen, remains
on display for an extended period of time.
iPod MANUAL MODE
Press the Menu Button and select Photo/Manual to enter iPod
Manual Mode. This is required to view photos stored on the iPod.
Due to the design of the iPhone, it is not possible to view photos
stored on the iPhone using The Bridge III.
Table 5 summarizes the controls available with The Bridge III in iPod
in Manual mode.
Table 5 – Using The Bridge III in iPod Manual Mode
The AVR supports audio playback from some applications available
for the iPhone and the iPod touch. Place the system in iPod Manual
Mode by pressing the Menu Button and selecting “Photo/Manual”.
Then use the controls on the iPhone or iPod touch to run the appli-
cation. Due to the wide variety of applications and many factors
affecting them, playback is not guaranteed.
While scrolling, hold the key to scroll faster. Use the Page Up/Down
control on the remote to scroll a page at a time (not in manual mode).
NOTES:
• The Play and Pause functions are not available unless
content has been selected for playback.
• To search within a track (not in Manual Mode), press and
hold the indicated button. Press the Previous Track Button
once to skip to the beginning of the current track. Press the
Previous Track Button twice to skip to the beginning of the
previous track.
When a slideshow is being displayed, some controls have different
effects:
• To pause the slideshow, including any audio track that is playing,
press the Pause Button.
• To resume a paused slideshow, press the Pause Button. Pressing
the Play Button begins audio playback.
• To play an audio track stored on the iPod, adjust the Slideshow
Settings on the iPod.
• To skip to the next or previous photo on the iPod, press the Next
or Previous Transport Control.
• It is not possible to skip to the next or previous audio track during
a slideshow.
• To search forward or in reverse within an audio track, press the
Forward or Reverse Search Transport Control. If no audio track is
playing, these controls will have no effect during the slideshow.
SELECTING A SURROUND MODE
Surround mode selection can be as simple or sophisticated as your
individual system and tastes. Feel free to experiment, and you may
find a few favorites for certain sources or program types. More
detailed information on surround modes may be found in the
Advanced Functions section.
To select a surround mode, press the Surround Modes Button (front
panel or remote). The Surround Modes menu will appear (see Figure
28). Use the
1 / 5 Buttons repeatedly until the desired surround
mode category appears: Auto Select, Virtual Surround, Stereo,
Movie, Music or Video Game. Press the OK Button to change the
type’s surround mode.
Figure 28 – Surround Modes Menu
Auto Select: For digital programs, such as movies recorded
with a Dolby Digital soundtrack, the AVR will automatically use the
native surround format. For 2-channel analog and PCM programs,
the AVR uses Logic 7 Movie, Music or Game mode, depending on
the source.
