Frequently asked questions
Here you will find the most frequently asked questions and
answers about your Philips HomeDock HD.
To keep the warranty valid, never try to repair the product
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.
