Using

The
TM
The Bridge is an optional dock that may be used with a compatible iPod
(not included). When The Bridge is connected to its proprietary input on
the AVR 147 and the iPod is docked, you may enjoy the audio, video
and still-image materials on your iPod through your high-quality
audio/video system, operate the iPod 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.
Either press the front-panel Source Selector repeatedly until the message
"DMP/The Bridge is CONNECTED" scrolls across the front-panel and
semi-OSD displays, or press the DMP Button on the remote to select
The Bridge as the input source.
Table 5 summarizes the controls available when The Bridge is in use;
see also Figures 73 and 74.

NOTES ON VIDEO PLAYBACK:
• Before attempting to play 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 NTSC to match the capabilities of
your video display. Set Widescreen to On or Off , depending on the aspect
ratio of your video display. If your selection was playing and paused at the
time you changed the TV Out setting, the iPod may require you to navi-
gate its menu system and reselect the video for the new TV Out setting
to take effect. Resuming play from the Now Playing function may not
reflect the change to the TV Out setting. This is a function of the iPod,
not the AVR 147.
• In Video mode, the iPod's menus will not be visible on your video display,
although you may view them on the iPod's screen. You may operate the
iPod using the AVR remote, as long as it is in The Bridge device mode.
• You may view the AVR's on-screen displays while The Bridge is in use,
just as you would with any other video source.
• The MP4 and H.264 video formats often used for videos to be played
on the iPod are intended for optimal performance on the iPod's small
screen. Playback on larger displays may have different results.
