OPERATIOn  
While a selection is playing, the song title and play-  
mode icon will appear in the front-panel Message  
Display. If a video monitor is connected to the AVR  
and the system is not in iPod Manual Mode (see  
below), the Now Playing screen will appear and dis-  
play the play mode icon, song title, artist and album.  
A graphic bar indicates the current play position  
within the track. If random or repeat play has been  
programmed, an icon will appear in the upper right  
corner.  
UsIng  
DOCKIng statIOn  
When The Bridge IIIs connected to its proprietary input  
on the AVR 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 navi-  
gation messages on the AVR’s front panel or a con-  
nected 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.  
The screen may disappear from view, depending on  
the display settings on the AVR. Restore the Now  
Playing screen to view by pressing either of the  
M N Buttons.  
/
nOtE: It is strongly recommended that you use  
the 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.

the OK Button switches the setting: repeat Off, repeat

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 exter-  
nal monitor while using The Bridge III.  
nOtE: The iTunes application allows you to exempt  
some tracks from Shuffle mode. The AVR cannot over-  
ride this setting.  
The AVR supports audio playback from some appli-  
cations available for the iPhone and the iPod touch.  
Place the system in iPod Manual Mode by pressing  
the Menu Button and selecting “Photo/Manual”. Then  
use the controls on the iPhone or iPod touch to run  
the application. Due to the wide variety of applica-  
tions and many factors affecting them, playback is not  
guaranteed.  
• 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 On. The TV Signal setting should be NTSC/PAL,  
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.  
While scrolling, hold the key to scroll faster. Use the  
Page Up/Down control on the remote to scroll a page  
at a time (not in manual mode).  
• 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 prob-  
lem. This procedure may also help when a video  
program is selected but the “Now Playing” screen  
appears instead of the video images.  
nOtEs:  
• The Play and Pause functions are not available  
unless content has been selected for playback.  
• To search within a track (not in Manual Mode),  
press and hold the indicated button. Press the  
Previous Track Button once to skip to the beginning  
of the current track. Press the Previous Track Button  
twice to skip to the beginning of the previous track.  
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  
M Button.  
iPod ManUal MODE  
Press the Menu Button and select Photo/Manual to  
enter iPod Manual Mode. This is required to view  
photos stored on the iPod. Table 5 summarizes the  
controls available with The Bridge III in iPod in Manual  
mode.  
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.
