Your HomeDock HD is ready to use right out of the box. However, you will need to remove the thin plastic
strip on the back of your remote Control to engage the battery.
For the best high-definition performance, we recommend you connect the HomeDock HD to your TV using an
HDMI cable (available separately). HDMI allows for just one connection to send both audio and video to your
high-definition television.
NOTE:
Using an HDMI connection directly into your television will route your iPod music through your TV’s
speakers. To hear your iPod through an existing home entertainment system, you can also use the Digital
audio Output to connect to your home stereo.
Connecting Your HomeDock HD
Basic Connection of HomeDock HD to Your TV
Plug the included aC Power adapter into the back of the HomeDock HD Base, and the other end into
1.
any available aC power outlet.
Plug an HDMI cable (available separately) into the back of the HomeDock HD Base.
2.
Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the corresponding jack of any available HDMI input on your
3.
TV or home stereo receiver. see
NOTE on [pg.6]
for information regarding music playback on your
home stereo using HDMI.
Using your remote Control, turn on your HomeDock HD. Be sure to turn on your TV (and/or home
4.
stereo) and then select the correct input for the HomeDock HD.
NOTE:
HDMI is the recommended connection option. see the following page for instructions on using s-
video or rCa connections.
NOTE:
If you are using HomeDock HD with just your home stereo connected, be sure to switch to iPod Mode
by pressing the Mode Button on the remote Control. This will allow you to control your iPod with the remote
Control, and to select and play music through your home stereo or even a powered-speaker setup without
having a TV connected.
If you do not have an HDMI-capable television or Home entertainment Center, there are other ways to
connect HomeDock HD:
Connect to your TV with the included aV Cable via the rCa audio and composite video connections
•
Connect to your TV with an s-Video cable (available separately), then to your home stereo with
•
audio cables
Connect just to your home stereo without using a television
