is correct but HomeDock HD still does not recognize your iPod, undock your iPod. Then unplug the aC Power
adapter from the HomeDock HD Base and wait 30 seconds before reconnecting. as usual, once plugged in,
you will need to allow a few minutes for the HomeDock HD to boot up.
next, try disconnecting your aV or HDMI cable from the HomeDock HD Base, then reconnecting. Make note
of which input your are using on your TV. remember, depending on the type of cables you are using, the
HomeDock HD boot-up process can take a few minutes. at this time, you’ll see a screen on your TV with a
DlO logo and a small box of moving squares until your HomeDock HD has finished booting up. You may dock
your iPod when boot-up is complete and a “no iPod Connected” screen appears.
