MUSIC: This line allows you to navigate the
audio materials stored on your iPod.
PHOTOS/VIDEOS: Selecting this item allows
you to play still images or videos stored on the
iPod. The screen shown in Figure 31 will appear,
directing you to operate the iPod's own controls
directly to play images and videos. You may use
the AVR 247 remote instead of the iPod's con-
trols to navigate it. Visual materials will be dis-
played on a video display connected to the AVR.

NOTES:
• The Play and Pause functions are not available
unless content has been selected for playback
by navigating the menu system.
• For the Search function, press and hold the
indicated button. Pressing the Previous Track
Button once skips to the beginning of the
current track. Press the Previous Track Button
twice to skip to the beginning of the previous
track.
The front-panel controls may be used to access a
limited number of iPod functions. Press the RDS
select button ^ to play or pause the current
track. The Tuning Selector ) may be used to
search reverse (left side of button) or forward
(right side of button) through the tracks. Press
the Tuner Band Selector ! to call up the
iPod's menu. Press the Preset Stations
Selector # to scroll, and the Set Button @
to select.
While a selection is playing, the song title, artist
and album name, if available on the iPod, will
scroll across the upper line in the front panel
Message Display Ò. The lower line will
display the elapsed time of the track on the left,
the play mode icon, and the time remaining on
the right.
In addition, if a video display is connected to the
AVR, a screen will appear briefly to display
information about the iPod's status and the
track. The top line will display the play mode
icon, with the phrase "Now Playing" appearing
to the right to remind you that you are viewing
the status of the current track, as opposed to
another menu screen. Below that the AVR
displays the total number of tracks in the current
play list on the right (all materials on the iPod
are considered one of the play lists) with the
number of the current track on the left. The song
title, artist and album are displayed. At the
bottom of the screen is a graphic bar indicating
the current play position within the track, with
the elapsed and remaining times appearing
below the bar.
After a period of time the screen may disappear
from view. The length of time is set using the
Full-OSD Time Out setting in the System Settings
menu (described in the Advanced Functions sec-
tion). You may restore the Now Playing screen to
view by pressing either of the /
‹ ›
Ea, and you may then navigate the menus
as explained above.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use
a 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.
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 set-
ting is set to On. The TV Signal setting should
be PAL to match the capabilities of your video
display. Set Widescreen to On or Off, depend-
ing 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 navigate its menu system
and reselect the video for the new TV Out set-
ting 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 247.
• 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.
