Getting Started
With the Onkyo RI Dock, you can easily play the
music stored on your Apple iPod/iPhone
through your Onkyo audio system and enjoy
great sound, and watch iPod/iPhone slide-
shows and videos on your TV. In addition, the
onscreen display (OSD) allows you to view, nav-
igate, and select your iPod/iPhone model’s con-
tents on your TV, and with the supplied remote
controller, you can control your iPod/iPhone
from the comfort of your sofa. You can even use
your Onkyo amp’s remote controller to operate
your iPod/iPhone.
, which stands for Remote Interactive, is an
exclusive Onkyo control system that allows all
-capable Onkyo audio components to be
turned on or off together, and your amp to turn
on automatically and select the appropriate
input source when playback is started on a
source component. It also allows you to control
your iPod/iPhone with your amp’s remote con-
troller.
In this manual, the DS-A4 Remote Interactive
Dock is referred to as the “RI Dock.”
