Made for iPod

Thank you for purchasing the AVi Digital TV iPod Docking System.
Please read this user’s guide before installing, setting up, or using your unit.

General Note Regarding Digital TV Reception

Due to the nature of receiving digital TV signals, location and antenna position are very important. You will generally receive optimal reception in areas with little or no obstructions. Wood and glass structures tend to provide for better reception than steel or metal.

Also, a stable environment will provide the most consistent signal, therefore, operation of a digital TV while in a moving car will generally not produce an acceptable picture.
