 Product Description: plays audio from all docking iPods * plays video from older docking iPods (no video playback from iPod classic, iPod nano, or iPod touch) * allows iPod control with Yamaha remotes * charges iPod while docked * control cable included * Amazon.com Product Description: There are several iPod docking stations on the market, but few are as convenient as the YDS-10, which is custom designed to work with Yamaha's HTR-5960, HTR-5950, RX-V659, and RX-V559 home theater receivers. Connection is easy--simply plug the dock into the Yamaha receiver's rear-panel port. Once connected, the dock not only charges your iPod and plays your favorite playlists through the receiver's stereo or surround speakers, but it also shows iPod images and movies through an attached monitor. It's the perfect setup for people who regularly download TV shows from iTunes but want to watch them on a big TV. The rest of the time, you can rock out to all your favorite songs with style. Just as impressively, the YDS-10 lets you operate your iPod from across the room using the receiver's remote control and onscreen display, so you don't need to rise off the sofa each time you want to change selections. Connecting your iPod to a home theater system has never been easier or sounded so good. The YDS-10 is compatible with 4th and 5th generation iPods (with click wheels), the iPod mini, and the iPod nano. What's in the Box Dock, connection cable, iPod adapters, user's manual. Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-07-01 Ipod User MUST With over 8,000 songs on my Ipod I couldn't imagine NOT adding this dock to my new Yamaha Surround Sound Receiver. It works just as advertised. One feature that puts it ahead of previous "docks" I've used is that the controls (wheel) on the Ipod itself still operate while the thing is docked. The "on screen display" to my LCD TV is not as "pretty" as I would have liked, but it gives you all the information you want; and song titles "scroll" on the front display of the receiver as well. It also charges the Ipod while it is docked. I don't have any videos on my Ipod yet, so I can't say what will happen with that in the "on screen" mode. But since I just wanted it for my music, it is superb. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-19 Excellent sound What a great idea for the ipod! Sounds great; remote controls the ipod functions too. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-09 Great addition This dock is perfect for my Yamaha receiver. It allows the receiver to control my iPod Nano completely, and the sound is great. I use it with a harmony 890 and wireless extender, so I can control my iPod from any room in the house. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-08 Great addition to surround sound system!!! Great addition to home surround sound!! Music sounds incredible...price was the best I have seen. If you are an avid iPod person, this is a must have!! Rating:  Date: 2008-05-29 Must-have for receiver Great plug and play item. EXCEPTIONAL price on Amazon! Was about 1/2 of what I could find it for elsewhere. Charges your iPod, and allows playback through your receiver. Is weighted to prevent it from tipping over, or moving around when you handle your iPod. Have not messed around with the video and on-screen functions yet...looks a bit tricky through the Yamaha receiver (not terribly user friendly). At this price...this really is a must-have, and beats those earphone jack cables running into the receiver! |
