WHY DO MY VIDEOS APPEAR STRETCHED OR CROPPED ON MY TV SCREEN?
First, ensure that your TV is set to the appropriate viewing format. Then, depending on which iPod you are
using, either set your “Widescreen” iPod Video Settings to
On
, or set your “Fit To Screen” or “Fullscreen”
setting to
Off
in order to view the digital video content in your preferred format.
WHY ARE MY VIDEOS OR SLIDESHOWS ONLY PLAYING ON MY IPOD SCREEN INSTEAD OF ON MY TV?
On your iPod, check to see that your TV 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 select
TV On each time you start up a video or slideshow. For iPod touch in particular, see
Viewing the Video
Content of Your iPod touch [pg.9]
.
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 your TV 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 recon-
nect HomeDock HD to your TV with S-Video or RCA cables.
To change the resolution setting without being able to see the HomeDock HD interface on your TV 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 your TV 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 your TV screen.
