HomeDock Deluxe Modes
HomeDock Deluxe has two distinct modes: On-Screen Navigation Mode and
iPod Mode. It’s very important to understand the differences in the two.
NOTE: Your HomeDock Deluxe arrives in iPod Mode. To toggle between iPod
Mode and On-Screen Navigation Mode, simply push the Mode button on the top-left of your HomeDock Deluxe remote control.
ON-SCREEN NAVIGATION MODE
Use On-Screen Navigation Mode when:
• HomeDock Deluxe is connected to a TV
• you want to view and select your iPod’s music from your TV screen
• you wish to see iPod’s currently playing song and information
On-Screen Navigation Mode allows you to view, navigate and select your iPod’s music on your TV screen. You can change display settings, view currently playing song info, view songs by category, or use iPod’s song info as a screensaver.
IPOD MODE
Use iPod Mode when:
• you want to view iPod photo slideshows or iPod videos from your iPod
• you’re using HomeDock Deluxe connected to your stereo (but not your TV)
• you want to play iPod’s music without turning on your TV
iPod Mode lets you browse and select music, pictures and video directly on your iPod. You can navigate iPod’s menu screens via the arrow buttons on the
HomeDock Deluxe’s remote control or directly on the iPod itself while docked on top of your HomeDock Deluxe.

Deluxe, the current track info is displayed at the top of your TV screen. The
HomeDock also displays a track countdown timer, the track progress bar, the name of your iPod, as well as album and playlist (if applicable) information.
NOTE: The current Apple iPods do not allow on-screen navigation of photos or videos - only music. However, you still can control the playback of slideshows and video (like Play/Pause, Fast Forward, etc) with your HomeDock Deluxe. To select and play photo slideshows and videos, be sure to set your HomeDock
Deluxe to iPod Mode.

Watching iPod Videos
The HomeDock Deluxe will display your iPod’s videos on your television with video compatible iPods. Load up your favorite sitcom on your video compatible iPod and follow these simple steps:
1. Dock your iPod onto your HomeDock Deluxe (make sure it’s in iPod Mode)
2. Navigate, select and play a Video from your iPod. You can use the
Remote’s Nav arrows to navigate your iPod’s menus and make your selection. Be sure to select “TV ON” when prompted by your iPod.
3. Control Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Reverse and more from the comfort of your couch with the HomeDock Deluxe remote control.
Refer to the diagram on the next page to learn how to direct your video slideshows using the HomeDock Deluxe Remote Control.
NOTE: If you have questions or need help setting up your iPod for videos, please visit Apple Support at www.apple.com/support/ipod.
NOT QUITE DVD QUALITY JUST YET
The iPod videos are very watchable on a full size TV, but don’t expect perfect
DVD quality. Video currently available at the iTunes Store is highly compressed down to 320x240 pixels. That's 1/4 the size of regular broadcast quality
(640x480).
Video compatible iPods do an amazing job of upconverting its smaller videos to broadcast quality, but again don’t expect a DVD quality picture, it’s more like a
VCR. For the best picture quality possible, do connect your HomeDock Deluxe to your TV using the S-Video output (S-Video Cable sold separately).

Tips & Tricks for Playing iPod Videos
WHY CAN’T I USE ON-SCREEN NAVIGATION TO BROWSE AND SELECT MY
VIDEOS AND SLIDESHOWS USING THE HOMEDOCK DELUXE?
The current Apple iPod firmware requires that you select and start video or photo slideshows on the iPod itself. It does not allow on-screen navigation of videos or photos - only music. You can, however control playback and transport functions of videos and photos like Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind, etc. using the HomeDock Deluxe Remote. To see the many functions you can control with the HomeDock Deluxe Remote Control, refer to Playing Photo
Slideshows or Watching iPod Videos.
(See pages 14-16)
SET YOUR IPOD’S “TV OUT” SETTING TO ON TO SAVE A STEP
On your iPod, you can set your “TV Out” setting to “TV On” and it won’t ask you every time you watch a video whether a TV is hooked up or not. If you ever want to watch a video on your iPod screen again, simply go to “Video Settings” and change the preference back.
20 | DLO HOMEDOCK DELUXE USER MANUAL
Using with PC or Mac
The HomeDock Deluxe can also act as a desktop dock for your iPod to sync your iPod to any PC or Mac. Simply connect the HomeDock Deluxe to your computer via USB cable (not included) and update your iPod in iTunes by simply sliding your iPod onto your HomeDock Deluxe.
CONNECTING HOMEDOCK DELUXE TO YOUR PC OR MAC
1. Use any standard USB 2.0 compatible A-to-B cable (not included) to connect the HomeDock Deluxe base to your home computer.
2. Your iPod will now sync with your computer + iTunes using the
HomeDock Deluxe as your desktop iPod dock.
3. You can now control your iPod using the HomeDock Deluxe Remote
Control. But to hear your iPod directly, you have to connect your
HomeDock Deluxe audio output to your computer’s audio input.
TIPS & TRICKS FOR USING WITH MAC OR PC
To enjoy your iPod’s music while it is docked on your desk, either connect your
HomeDock Deluxe to a pair of Powered Speakers or plug it into the input of your computer to play through its speakers.
Be sure to update your iTunes software to the most recent version to insure the best results using your HomeDock Deluxe with your Mac or PC.

Tips and Troubleshooting
WHY CAN’T I USE ON-SCREEN NAVIGATION TO BROWSE AND SELECT MY
VIDEOS AND SLIDESHOWS USING THE HOMEDOCK DELUXE?
The current Apple iPod firmware requires that you select and start video or photo slideshows on the iPod itself. It does not allow on-screen navigation of
videos or photos - only music. You can, however control playback and transport functions of videos and photos like Play/Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind, etc. using the HomeDock Deluxe Remote. To see the many functions you can control with the HomeDock Deluxe Remote Control, refer to Playing Photo
Slideshows or Watching iPod Videos.
(See pages 14-16)
DOES THE HOMEDOCK DELUXE CHARGE MY IPOD’S BATTERY?
Yes. The HomeDock Deluxe fully charges and powers your iPod whenever your iPod is connected.
DO I HAVE TO USE A TV WITH THE HOMEDOCK DELUXE?
No. The only time you need a TV is to view Videos or Photos from a Video or
Photo compatible iPod or for on-screen navigation of your music. With all other uses, the HomeDock Deluxe is a music-based, remote controlled home docking system for your iPod that requires nothing but a stereo or powered speakers to play your iPod’s music.
Of course, to get the most out of your HomeDock Deluxe, you should connect it to a TV and home stereo. Remember, in order to use On-Screen Music
Navigation to select and choose your music, you have to connect your
HomeDock Deluxe to your TV.
22 | DLO HOMEDOCK DELUXE USER MANUAL
WHERE ARE MY PODCASTS WHEN I’M USING ON-SCREEN NAVIGATION?
The HomeDock Deluxe categorizes your Podcasts under Genres. Just select
Genres from the Music Menu and find the Podcast you’d like to hear. If you want, you can organize your Podcasts into a Playlist in iTunes and then access them on your television using the HomeDock Deluxe.
NOTE: Your iPod will sometimes organize certain Podcasts under Albums or
Artists, so be sure to check there as well.
MY HOMEDOCK DELUXE ISN’T WORKING, WHAT’S THE DEAL?
First, be sure that your HomeDock Deluxe is powered on. Next, make sure that you are in the desired mode - On-Screen Navigation or iPod. To change modes, simply push the Mode button on your Remote Control.
I’VE SELECTED A VIDEO OR PHOTO SLIDESHOW TO PLAY ON MY TV BUT
INSTEAD IT’S ONLY PLAYING ON MY IPOD’S SCREEN.
On your iPod, check to see that your “TV Out” setting under Video/Slideshow
Settings is set to either “Ask” or “On.” Your Video or Slideshow will not play on your TV unless you select “TV On” when prompted by your iPod in the “Ask” setting, or you have selected “On” under “TV Out” in Video Settings. Your iPod arrives in the “Ask” setting, so you will have to select “TV On” each time you start up a video or photo slideshow unless you change your iPod’s Settings.
NTSC - PAL SWITCHING
The HomeDock Deluxe’s default broadcast format is NTSC. However, it is PAL compatible too. If you have a TV that is formatted for PAL and your iPod’s TV signal is set for PAL, simply select the PAL setting on the back of the
HomeDock Deluxe base unit.
