Excellent iPod DockMarch 16, 2010 steve Simply plug and play----first time I ever got something that REALLY WAS plug and play!!
Outstanding AccessoryMarch 11, 2010 Bill H.(St. Louis, MO) I bought this as an accessory add-on to a recent purchase of a Yamaha RX-V765BL receiver (which I also have high praise for). This is one cool accessory. The ability to see the iPod menus on your TV screen and control the iPod selection and play features via the receiver's remote control are two unbelievably convenient features. Additionally, even though it does not reference that usage of an iPhone is supported (and you will actually receive an error message on the iPhone screen when you plug it into the dock) ... it does in fact work fine with my iPhone 3Gs. The dock also performs charging of either the iPod or iPhone (but only while the receiver is turned on) so you can let the music roll on, and on, and on and not worry about running out of power. All in all, this is one of the best electronics accessories I have bought in a long time ... and on top of all of this, I paid under $50 delivered by ordering through Amazon vs. a $99 price tag on the shelf at Best Buy.
IPhone EasyMarch 11, 2010 Gregory Smith(Carefree, AZ USA) Great product. Hooked it up to my RX-V2700 and dropped in my IPhone to the port, it immediately identified the unit and was able to play both music from the IPod but videos from You Tube. Also can watch movies from the Itunes store. Quality of the pitcher is not perfect, but pretty good. Can control the IPod from the reciever remote as well.
Yamaha YDS-11SL Universal iPod DockMarch 9, 2010 Bill(California) This iPod dock does what it's supposed to do, which is playing music on certain Yamaha Receivers. The screen interface used is definitely 70's/80's style (Think Atari) but it does the job. I have two gripes: First, the dock does not charge your ipod unless the receiver is on, and second, if your ipod has any kind of case/shell on it, it will not fit with the included adapters, so it's not as easy to plug the ipod in without the adapters. I have not tried any video on it yet. Overall, I'm still happy with it.
Works great.....exceded my expectationsMarch 8, 2010 Samuel A. Wash(Frisco, TX) If you've got an Ipod then this is a must have. There is nothing like being able to access and control your Ipod from your easy chair. Nuff said in my book
