NOTES ON VIDEO PLAYBACK
:
As of this writing, video browsing is only supported on the iPod 5G,
iPod classic (80GB, 120GB and 160GB), iPod nano 3G and 4G, and iPod
touch (when loaded with software version 2 or higher). For other iPod
models, it is not possible to view photos (except iPod 4G) or videos on
an external monitor while using The Bridge II.
Before attempting to view photos or videos stored on your iPod, check
the Video Settings menu on the iPod and make sure that the TV Out
setting is set to On. The TV Signal setting should be PAL, to match the
capabilities of your video display. If your selection was playing and is
paused, the iPod requires you to reselect the video for the new TV Out
setting to take effect.
If you do not see the Videos line in the menu, and the iPod supports
video browsing and has video content stored on it, you may need to
turn off the AVR, remove the iPod from The Bridge II, reset the iPod, turn
the AVR back on and dock the iPod again. This procedure may also help
when a video program is selected but the “Now Playing” screen appears
instead of the video images.
To exit iPod Manual Mode, with the AVR remote in The Bridge mode, press the
Menu Button. To return to a previous menu level on the iPod, press the Back/
Exit Button.
Random
: Select this setting for random playback, also known as “Shuffle
Mode”. Each press of the OK Button switches the setting: shuffle by Song,
shuffle by Album, or Off to end random playback.
Repeat
: Select this setting to repeat a track or all tracks in the current
album or playlist. Each press of the OK Button switches the setting: repeat Off,
repeat One or repeat All.
NOTE
: The iTunes application allows you to exempt some tracks from
Shuffle mode. The AVR 760/AVR 660 cannot override this setting.
While a selection is playing, the song title and play mode icon will appear in
the front-panel Message Display.
If a video monitor is connected to the AVR 760/AVR 660 and the system is
not in iPod Manual Mode, the Now Playing screen will appear and display
the play mode icon, song title, artist and album. A graphic bar indicates the
current play position within the track. If random or repeat play has been
programmed, an icon will appear in the upper right corner.
The screen may disappear from view, depending on the Setup and Slide-In
Menus setting in the System Settings menu (described in the Advanced
Functions Manual). Restore the Now Playing screen to view by pressing either
of the
M N
Buttons.
NOTE
: It is strongly recommended that you use the screen saver built into
your video display to avoid possible damage from “burn-in” that may occur
with plasma and many CRT displays when a still image, such as a menu
screen, remains on display for an extended period of time.
iPod MANUAL MODE
Press the Menu Button and select Photo/Manual to enter iPod Manual Mode.
This is required to view photos stored on the iPod.

The AVR supports audio playback from some applications available for the
iPod touch. Place the system in iPod Manual Mode by pressing the Menu
Button and selecting “Photo/Manual”. Then use the controls on the iPod touch
to run the application. Due to the wide variety of applications and many
factors affecting them, playback is not guaranteed.
While scrolling, hold the key to scroll faster. Use the Page Up/Down control on
the remote to scroll a page at a time (not in Manual Mode).
NOTES
:
The Play and Pause functions are not available unless content has been
selected for playback.
To search within a track (not in Manual Mode), press and hold the
indicated button. Press the Previous Track Button once to skip to the
beginning of the current track. Press the Previous Track Button twice to
skip to the beginning of the previous track.
When a slideshow is being displayed, some controls have different effects:
To pause the slideshow, including any audio track that is playing, press the
Pause Button.
To resume a paused slideshow, press the Pause Button. Pressing the Play
Button begins audio playback.
To play an audio track stored on the iPod, adjust the slideshow settings on
the iPod.
To skip to the next or previous photo on the iPod, press the Next or
Previous Transport Control.
It is not possible to skip to the next or previous audio track during a
slideshow.
To search forward or in reverse within an audio track, press the Forward
or Reverse Search Transport Control. If no audio track is playing, these
controls will have no effect during the slideshow.
