Frequently asked questions

Here you will find the most frequently asked questions and

answers about your Philips HomeDock HD.

For further help, visit

www.philips.com/welcome

. To keep the

warranty valid, never try to repair the system yourself. If you

encounter problems when you use your HomeDock HD,

check the following points before you contact Philips. If the

problem remains unsolved, go to the Philips website

www.philips.com/welcome

.When you contact Philips, make

sure that your Philips HomeDock HD is nearby and the

model number and serial number are available.

Do I have to use HomeDock HD with a high-definition

television?

No.While HomeDock HD was designed to give you the

best viewing experience with a high-definitionTV, you can

still use HomeDock HD with a standard-definitionTV and

the included AV cables or your own S-Video cable. See the

“Setting up HomeDock HD” chapter.

My HomeDock HD doesn’t seem to be setting up properly.

What’s wrong?

First, ensure that you have selected the correct input source

on yourTV for the HomeDock HD. If your setup is correct

but HomeDock HD still does not recognize your iPod,

undock your iPod.Then unplug the AC power adapter from

the HomeDock HD base and wait 30 seconds before

reconnecting.As usual, once plugged in, you will need to

allow a few minutes for the HomeDock HD to boot up.

Next, try disconnecting your AV or HDMI cable from

the HomeDock HD base, then reconnecting. Make note

of which input you are using on yourTV. Remember,

depending on the type of cables you are using, the

HomeDock HD boot-up process can take a few minutes.

At this time, you’ll see a screen on yourTV with a Philips

logo and a small box of moving squares until your

HomeDock HD has finished booting up.You may dock

your iPod when boot-up is complete and a “No iPod

Connected” screen appears.

I’ve checked my connections, but HomeDock HD

still won’t recognize my iPod.Why?

Undock your iPod and reboot it by simultaneously holding

down the Enter and Menu buttons until the iPod shuts off

and restarts with an Apple logo screen. Refer to your iPod

manual for more detailed instructions.

Make sure that you are in the desired mode: On-Screen

Navigation Mode or iPod Mode. If your HomeDock HD

is in On-screen Navigation Mode, the iPod will display an

“Accessory Attached” notice. If HomeDock HD is in iPod

Mode, the iPod menu screen will be displayed on the iPod.

To change modes, simply push the Mode button on the

included RF remote control.

Finally, you may need to update your HomeDock HD

firmware.You can check which firmware version you are

currently running under the Settings > About menu.

HomeDock HD features a USB input on the back of the

base to support firmware updates available from Philips.

Simply visit

http://www.homedockupdate.com

to find the

most current version for download. Save the update to a

USB flash drive and connect the drive to your HomeDock

HD to initiate the update.
