Customer Reviews

great add on
this is a great add-on on my receiver; now i can play my ipod with some serious speakers (klipsch)

Great iPod Dock
This is one of the best iPod Dock I have ever used. Works flawlessly!! The main selling point for me is it's on-screen display of playlist and as published this feature works great even with my 4G iPod. The on-screen display is monochrome and I wonder if this is due to my 4G iPod's monochrome display. Get it...you will love it.

Pros:
1. Great sound
2. Easy connectivity
3. On-Screen display
4. Fast scrolling through playlist (keep pressing the scroll button for a few seconds)
5. Works with my Universal Logitech remote
6. Has a setting to turn-off charging the iPod in stand-by mode (Receiver RX-V1800).

Cons:
1. Grayscale display on my HDTV (not sure if this is due to my iPod)

Yamaha iPod dock (YDS-11SL)
This dock works with the Yamaha RX-V1800 exactly as advertised, integrating the iPod into the A/V system. My iPod is an early generation, so I don't get the on-screen display, which would be nice, and I haven't tested a newer iPod in the dock yet.

If you're spending the money for one of the Yamaha units with which this works, the price is reasonable for the integration.
