Why are my videos or slideshows only playing on my iPod
screen instead of on myTV?
On your iPod, check to see that yourTV Out setting under
Video/ Photo Settings is set to either Ask or On.Your iPod
arrives in the Ask setting, so unless you change your iPod
Settings to On, you will have to select TV On each time you
start up a video or slideshow. For iPod touch in particular,
seeViewing the video content of your iPod touch.
Does my HomeDock HD have a Power-Saver Mode?
Yes, it does. If no iPod is docked on your HomeDock HD for
30 minutes, HomeDock HD will go into Standby Mode.To
exit Standby Mode, dock your iPod or press any button on
the remote control. If your iPod is still docked and you press
the Power button on the remote control to turn off your
HomeDock HD, it will go into Standby Mode as it continues
to charge your iPod.To exit Standby Mode when your iPod
is docked, press the Power button on the remote control.
Also, if you do not dock your iPod within 5 minutes of the
initial boot-up of your HomeDock HD, your HomeDock HD
will go into Standby Mode.
My TV screen is blank, or shows just gray and black static.
What’s wrong?
If your HomeDock HD is connected to yourTV using
S-Video or RCA cables, your HomeDock HD may be set
up for HDMI resolution. If possible, plug your HomeDock
HD in using HDMI cables and change the resolution to
standard-definition format in the Settings >Resolution menu.
Then disconnect the HDMI cable and reconnect HomeDock
HD to yourTV with S-Video or RCA cables.
To change the resolution setting without being able to see
the HomeDock HD interface on yourTV screen, enter the
key sequence on your HomeDock HD remote control: UP,
UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, and then press the Up
or Down buttons to cycle through the four different
resolutions. Give each setting a few seconds to register
with yourTV before pushing the Up or Down button
again.When the correct resolution setting is selected,
you will once again be able to see the HomeDock HD
interface on yourTV screen.
My music or video sounds a little distorted and fuzzy.
What can I do?
First, adjust volume for the best sound quality. If listening to
your music through your HomeDock HD sounds unusually
low or noisy, be sure that your HomeDock HD’s volume is
set at an adequate level.The balance of volume between
your HomeDock HD and stereo/TV can affect the audio
quality significantly. This is only necessary with an AV
connection. When using an HDMI connection, volume is
not managed with your HomeDock HD.Also, it is a good
idea to adjust your iPod EQ settings.We recommend setting
your iPod EQ to Off and adjusting yourTV or home stereo’s
bass and treble controls to 0.Then you can experiment with
iPod EQ settings, and adding bass and treble to your desired
level.
D Note:The sound quality on HomeDock HD
is only as good as the quality of the source file.
Why does my HomeDock HD sometimes seem to have a
lag time before it displays my iPod content, like Album Art
or song information?
The response delay time is usually HomeDock HD waiting
for information from the iPod. Hard-drive based iPods like
the iPod classic or 5G iPod with video take longer than flash-
based iPods like the iPod nano and iPod touch. How long it
takes depends on how much content is on the iPod and what
information is being requested. For instance, when you’ve
selected a Screen Saver that displays “large”Album Art (if
available), it can take up to 10 seconds for the iPod to access
that artwork. See Album Art andYour HomeDock HD.
Once displayed, the artwork is cached in HomeDock HD’s
memory for faster retrieval later. If you’d like HomeDock HD
to retrieve Album Art even faster during use, choose the
Cataloging option from the Settings Menu. See “Cataloging
Album Art” in the Settings & features chapter.
D Note:The 4th Generation iPod does not currently
support external display of album artwork.
The HomeDock HD interface is flickering and seems
to be frozen.What's wrong?
This is occasionally caused by the HDMI cable you are
using. Simply disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable
from the HomeDock HD base to eliminate the flicker and
un-freeze your HomeDock HD.
My HomeDock HD remote control seems to be frozen.
What do I do?
Check the remote control’s battery by pushing the small
tab towards the battery tray while pulling the tray away
from the remote.Then reinsert the battery. If this does not
work, the battery may need to be replaced.
Why do my videos appear stretched or cropped
on my TV screen?
First, ensure that yourTV is set to the appropriate viewing
format.Then, depending on which iPod you are using,
either set your “Widescreen” iPodVideo Settings to On, or
set your “Fit To Screen” or “Fullscreen” setting to Off in
order to view the digital video content in your preferred
format.
