Option 2 - iPod Dock Designs For Audio/Video Receivers ($99 For Yamaha Receivers)
If you are looking for a more advanced solution than the simple A/V cable,
particularly one that provides remote control functionality, several companies
offer specially-designed docks made to work exclusively for their line of A/V
receivers. One such dock is the $99 Yamaha docking station (YDS). The
YDS works with specific Yamaha A/V receivers which feature a specialized
iPod dock port.
Upon placing your iPod in the
dock, and selecting the
appropriate input on your receiver,
you will be able to view and
navigate your iPods music library
on your TV screen. The on screen
display uses simple text based
menus. You can even control the
iPod from your couch using the
standard Yamaha receivers remote
control (yes, the remote control commands can be taught into third party
learning remote controls).
While the iPod is docked, the YDS recharges your battery. The dock is small
and discrete, with a classy color scheme that will compliment your
components and furniture. Not compatible with iPod Touch.
TIP: The on-screen graphics are normally available only for music content. Certain iPod models will allow you to view
photo or video content through the YDS but there would be no on-screen display, the remote control still works but the
content would need to be selected through the iPods screen.
Option 3 - Third Party iPod Dock, Works With All TVs or Receivers ($229)
If you are looking for an on-screen display and remote control functionality but
you do not have a receiver with a specialized dock connection, a third party iPod
dock may be the perfect solution for you. Rather than utilizing proprietary cables
that only work with specific receivers this dock uses standard audio/video cables
to connect directly to ANY stereo system or television (with an open RCA or S-
Video audio/video slot).
This dock provides a more advanced graphical on-screen display and full remote
control functionality (remote is included). Again, the remote control can be taught
into a third party all-in-one remote control.
The dock does charge your iPod and is compatible with most models except the
iPod Touch.
Rear of dock features RCA and S-Video
connections.
The on-screen display of the third party solution is more colorful and
advanced than the proprietary docking solutions such as the YDS
mentioned above.
