I-Pod Bridge II for AVR 155/255/355 - Connects Ipod to AVR with Remote and display functions 

Docking Station for iPod

Is your home entertainment system incomplete without music from your iPod? Thanks to The Bridge II docking station, connection and control are completely within your power. The Bridge II connects directly to Harman Kardon® x55 receiver series and allows you to use your system's remote to seamlessly select and play audio and video* content — guided by easy-to-read on-screen or front-panel messages. Let the (gloriously uninterrupted) music begin.

Question: I am using an HK 3490 receiver with The Bridge II and an iPod. The information that is supposed to appear in the front-panel display is either blank or missing characters. Is there a problem with the receiver?
Answer: If the serial number is below AN0095-03593, then your receiver may not have the latest software, . Please click here to contact the Customer Service department to arrange for an exchange of your receiver.
Question: I have connected The Bridge (or The Bridge II) to the DMC 1000 and docked an iPod in The Bridge. Why am I unable to access photos stored on the iPod?
Answer: Features, specifications and the product's appearance as shown in the owner's manual are based on prototypes and are subject to change after the manual is printed. We regret that, in this case, the manual states it is possible to view photos stored on an iPod that is docked in The Bridge, which in turn is connected to the DMC 1000. However, after the manual was printed, that feature was not implemented during production of the DMC 1000. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Question: Is the HK 3490 receiver compatible with The Bridge docking station for iPod?
Answer: No, the HK 3490 receiver may only be used with The Bridge II dock, which is a newer version of The Bridge. The Bridge II dock (available separately) includes an adapter that must be used to plug the dock into the HK 3490. See the manual for The Bridge II for more information.

Question: When I play audio selections stored on an iPod docked in The Bridge II, why am I unable to view the cover art on a video monitor connected to the AVR?
Answer: The AVR is not designed to display cover art associated with audio selections stored on the iPod.
