Using

Docking Station

The Bridge II is an included dock that may be used with a compatible
iPod, iPod touch or iPhone (not included). When The Bridge II is con-
nected to its proprietary input on the AVR 354 and the iPod is docked,
you may play the audio, video and still-image materials on your iPod
through your high-quality audio/video system, operate the iPod using
the AVR remote or the AVR’s front-panel controls, view navigation
messages on the AVR’s front panel or a connected video display,
and charge the iPod.

Either press the front-panel Source Selector repeatedly until the mes-
sage “The Bridge is CONNECTED” appears in the front panel, or press
The Bridge Source Selector on the remote.

When The Bridge II is connected, the screen shown in Figure 61
will appear on a video display connected to the AVR. In this case, the
iPod has not been docked in The Bridge II yet.
