My Music Remote keeps displaying “Out of Range” and I cannot see my iPod’s music.
First, ensure that your iPod is securely connected to the Music Remote Dock. This is verified by the iPod screen displaying the Music Remote screen message OK to disconnect . The Music Remote is a powerful RF remote that will function through walls and other obstructions, but you may be out of range of the base unit or experiencing some kind of outside interference. Move closer to the Music Remote Dock to verify communication. (Once communication is well established, you can verify distance and RF communication under About in the Settings menu). If these steps do not work, or your Music Remote seems to be non-responsive, you should reset the unit by pressing and holding the Menu button and Up Nav/Volume Up buttons simultaneously for a few seconds until you see the DLO logo appear. Finally, the
Music Remote can be reset by pressing a needle or paper clip end into the reset access hole on the bottom left side of the remote.
Do I need to download both lists (Artists and Playlists) separately?
No. Once you select Download Lists , both lists will automatically be downloaded to your Music Remote.

When I place my iPod into the Music Remote Dock, the iPod does not enter the
Music Remote Mode.
Be sure that your iPod contains recent firmware. Visit apple.com/ipod/download to get the latest iPod software updates.
When I place my iPod into the Music Remote Dock, the iPod Click Wheel is no longer functional.
Don’t worry, the Music Remote is working correctly and provides the same functionality as the iPod Click Wheel.
My music sounds distorted and “fuzzy”.
The Music Remote lets you control the volume of your iPod’s music. However, it is important that you find the correct balance between your Music Remote’s volume setting and the speaker system, stereo, TV, computer or other audio device’s volume setting. Be sure to try different volume settings on your audio device until you find the optimum balance.
I removed my iPod from the Dock and it still displays “OK to Disconnect”.
Return your iPod to the Dock and remove it after a few minutes. If this does not work, you can also reset your iPod by holding down the Menu + Center buttons.
