■About iPod
●Apple is not responsible for the operation of this device or its compliance with
safety and regulatory standards.
●iPod is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
■iPod functions
●When an iPod is connected and the audio source is changed to iPod mode, the
iPod will resume play from the same point in which it was last used.
●Depending on the iPod that is connected to the system, certain functions may
not be available. If a function is unavailable due to a malfunction (as opposed to

■iPod problems
To resolve most problems encountered when using your iPod, disconnect your iPod
