What is it: Remote interactive dock for iPod
What we think: Easy to use with your Onkyo home-cinema or stereo system
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 6 July 2005
Tags: onkyo, remote control, playlists, dock
We like:
Docking station controls iPod transport functions such as play, pause, stop, forward; iPod-inspired styling; charges your iPod's batteries; video output for photo display
We don't like:
Video output doesn't duplicate iPod controls, so you can't see menu screens at a distance; no digital audio output; compatibility limitations mean that not all control functions, such as accessing playlists, are possible with older iPods or older Onkyo electronics; doesn't work with early-generation iPods that lack a dock connector
You might also need:
An Onkyo A/V receiver or home-cinema system
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Onkyo's interactive iPod docking cradle makes it easy to play your iPod over your Onkyo home-cinema or stereo system
