USING DOCKING STATION
The Bridge III is an included dock that is compatible with most
docking iPod models, 4G and later, and iPhone models (not included).
When The Bridge III is connected to its proprietary input on the
AVR 3600 and the iPod or iPhone is docked, you may play the
audio, video and still-image materials on your iPod or iPhone
through your high-quality audio/video system; operate the iPod or
iPhone using the AVR remote or the AVR’s front-panel controls;
view navigation messages on the AVR’s front panel or a connected
video display; and charge the iPod or iPhone.
When the source The Bridge is selected and an iPod or iPhone
is docked, the message “The Bridge” appears in the front-panel
Message Display. If the AVR doesn’t detect the iPod or iPhone, turn
off the AVR, remove the iPod or iPhone from The Bridge III and reset
the iPod or iPhone. When the iPod or iPhone returns to its main
menu, redock it and turn on the AVR.
Table 4 summarizes the controls available with The Bridge III during
normal playback.
Table 4 – Using The Bridge III
Press the Menu Button to view the slide-out menu:
Music: Navigates the audio materials stored on the iPod or
iPhone. Use the Page Up/Down Control on the remote to scroll
through the content a page at a time. To jump to content beginning
with a desired letter of the alphabet, use the Alphanumeric Keys.
Since the letters are grouped three or four to a key, press the key
quickly two or three times to jump to content beginning with one
of the other letters.
Photo/Manual: Select this line to view still images stored on
a photo-capable iPod (not available on iPhone). The system will
switch to iPod Manual Mode, and control will shift to the iPod. Use
the screen and controls on the iPod.The AVR remote may also be used.
To view photos on a video monitor connected to the AVR, select the
photo and press the Play Button on the iPod, or press the OK Button
on the remote three times.
Videos: Select this line to view videos stored on an iPod that
supports video browsing or an iPhone.
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 or iPhone (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 III. Due to the
design of the iPhone, it is not possible to view photos stored
on the iPhone using The Bridge III.
• Before attempting to view photos or videos stored on your
device, check the Video Settings menu on the device and
make sure that the TV Out setting is set to On. The TV
Signal setting should be NTSC, to match the capabilities
of your video display. If your selection was playing and is
paused, the iPod or iPhone 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 III, reset the iPod, turn the AVR back on and dock
the iPod again. An iPhone may not need to be reset, as simply
undocking and redocking it may resolve the problem.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, press
the Back/Exit Button or the
7 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.
