About the RI Dock  
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.

Replacing the Battery  
Aiming the Remote Controller  
Use only a battery of the same type (CR 2025).  
When using the remote controller, point it  
toward the RI Dock’s remote control sensor, as  
shown below.  
1. To open the battery compartment, press  
the small hollow and slide open the cover.  
Remote control sensor  
RI Dock  
2. While pressing the tab as shown, slide out  
the old battery.  
Slide the new battery into the battery com-  
partment with the positive side facing up.  
Notes:  
• If the RI Dock is placed on top of another  
component, the remote controller’s sig-  
nal may be obstructed and the remote  
controller may not work reliably.  
• The remote controller may not work reli-  
ably if the RI Dock is subjected to bright  
light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-  
type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind  
when installing.  
3. Slide the cover shut.  
• If another remote controller of the same  
type is used in the same room, or the RI  
Dock is installed close to equipment that  
uses infrared rays, the remote controller  
may not work reliably.  
• Don’t put anything on top of the remote  
controller, such as a book or magazine,  
because a button may be pressed contin-  
uously, thereby draining the batteries.  
• The remote controller may not work reli-  
ably if the RI Dock is installed in a rack  
behind colored glass doors. Keep this in  
mind when installing.  
Notes:  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reli-  
ably, try replacing the battery.  
• If you intend not to use the remote con-  
troller for a long time, remove the battery  
to prevent damage from leakage or cor-  
rosion.  
• An expired battery should be removed as  
soon as possible to prevent damage from  
leakage or corrosion.  
• The remote controller will not work if  
there’s an obstacle between it and the RI  
Dock’s remote control sensor.  
Caution: Replacing the battery incorrectly  
may cause an explosion. Use only a battery  
of the same type or an equivalent.

Conversion Cable.  
Hooking Up the RI Dock  
The input you use depends on the type of  
Onkyo amp you have. See your amp’s  
instruction manual for details.  
Depending on the Onkyo amp that you’re  
using, choose connection method A or B.  
A: Connect the RI Dock’s AUDIO OUT L/R jacks  
and VIDEO OUT jack to an RI Dock-compati-  
ble input on your Onkyo amp. (You might  
need to change the input display to “HDD”  
or “DOCK.)  
2. Using the supplied cable, connect the RI  
Dock’s jack to an jack on one of the  
Onkyo components in your system.  
3. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the RI  
Dock’s DC IN jack.  
B: Connect the RI Dock’s AUDIO OUT L/R jacks  
to the TAPE IN jacks on your Onkyo amp.  
And connect the RI Dock’s VIDEO OUT jack  
directly to your TV.  
Note: When the AC adapter is unplugged or  
not connected to the RI Dock, the RI Dock  
will output no sound or video, functions  
will not work, and your iPod/iPhone model’s  
battery will not be charged.  
See your amp’s instruction manual for details.  
AC adapter  
Caution: Connect the supplied cable to  
only jacks. Do not connect headphones  
to the jack, as it will damage your equip-  
ment.  
Wall  
outlet  
If you’ve connected the RI Dock’s AUDIO  
OUT L/R jacks to your amp’s TAPE IN jacks  
and also want to connect the RI Docks  
VIDEO OUT jack to your amp  
Connect the RI Dock’s VIDEO OUT jack to an  
unused video input on your amp.  
When you want to watch an iPod/iPhone slide-  
show or video, select the video input source  
first, and then select the TAPE input source.  
Your amp will output the audio being fed to the  
TAPE input, and because the video source  
doesn’t change when the TAPE input source is  
selected, it’ll continue to output the video  
being fed to the video input.
