iPod Compatibility: The AG-H600NT is Made for iPod compliant
when used with the optional DS-22 iPod Dock (item number 063DS22, sold separately).
The iPod is controlled by the receiver's remote and the controls on the iPod also
remain active, as does the iPod's display. The DS-22 has composite video and S-video
outputs, so video and photos played on the iPod are displayed on a connected TV. iPod
compatibility is as follows (as of October 2010):

Note: Apple iPod software updates may
change functionality results. If you download a newer
software version, you may need to reset the device and
your iPod to regain functionality. If this doesn't work,
you may need to revert to the older software version or
wait until an newer software update is available.
Tuner: The AM/FM tuner can store up to 30 AM and 30 FM
presets.
Home Network Function: The AG-H600NT is equipped with an
Ethernet port and wireless LAN antenna that let you connect the receiver to your
home network (LAN) and to your broadband internet modem via your LAN. Once
connected you can take advantage of these network functions:
- Internet Radio: Internet radio refers
to radio broadcasts distributed over the internet. Stations
from around the world can be received and a favorites list
created for easy recall. The AG-H600NT supports MP3, WMA,
and RealAudio Internet radio content and allows you to search
for stations by genre, location, station or podcast name,
popular stations, and new stations. You can register your
favorite stations at www.wifiradio-frontier.com using a
computer.
- Music Player: The music server function
lets you stream audio files to the receiver from PCs in the
same network; stream by Shared Media (Windows Media Player
11 or later required) or Shared Folders (available with Windows
and Macintosh).
Tone Control: The tone controls offer +/-12 dB adjustments
at three frequencies; 100 Hz (bass), 1 kHz (midrange), and 10 kHz (treble).
Tone Direct: The Tone Direct function bypasses the bass,
midrange, and treble controls and offers the best sound quality; when engaged
the signal to noise ratio is 110 dB, when disengaged it's 100 dB.
Record Out: The Aux input has a corresponding output (stereo
RCA) for connecting a recording component; cassette deck, CD recorder, etc.
Subwoofer Out: A cable (76" long with stereo RCAs one
end and mono RCA on the other) and instructions are included for connecting a
powered subwoofer to the auxiliary output. The level of this output is fixed, so
the subwoofer's volume control will have to be used along with the AG-H600NT's
volume.
Dimmer: The display has three brightness settings; Bright,
Dim, and Off.
