• iPhone and iPod touch with firmware older than version 2.0 do not support video in the Extended

mode via RS-232.

Play
mode, it will automatically enter the
Pause
mode. The installer or programmer can set the
RS-232 control system to automatically send a
Play
command to return the iPod to the last
playing song when it is inserted in the dock.
