Summary: 4 Stars
Works well with my tx-sr 606. 606 remote controls most functions.Plain graphics,but does the job. Kudos to amazon, they had the lowest price I could find, and it came 2 days before estimated date, even with super-saver shipping, great job!Customer Review: nice, but osd doesn't work

Overall, I like it, despite the following shortcomings. The interaction between the dock and the receiver is promising, except that the iPhone says "accessory attached" or something and since the "on screen display" won't display on the tv, I can't see what album, title, etc. is playing. I suspect it is an issue with the receiver (TX-SR505) not sending the video image on to the tv, but that is just a guess. I have to select the playlist or whatever and THEN plug the iPhone in to the dock. Lots of monkeying around with it so far and I'm still not done. Sounds great though. (Same issues with an iPod attached, btw.)Customer Review: Performs as advertised

After initially getting to grips with the user interface it does what it says its supposed to. I found it a little difficult to use the onkyo receiver remote to control it. The instruction book wasn't very clear either on how to link the dock to your receiver remote but the small dock remote works just fine. And yes the on screen display is somewhat dated but most of the time I play my music with the tv off anyway. The music quality is great and I am quite happy with the purchase. My wife is listening to some jazz right now on our home theater while reading a book so its already being put to use. Customer Review: I bought this ...and like it.

I like the iPod dock overall. It's easy to use and the remote works well. It's not quite as intuitive with the controls as I would like. For example, you have to hit "MENU" to go up a level. And "SELECT" to play something. You can't just hit the play button.
The on-screen display is black and white, like the old PONG games of the 70's. I expected it to have the same iPod screen look. But that aside it does a good job.
Customer Review: Poor product design
Summary: 2 Stars
I took a chance on this even after reading about the ugly on screen displays. And they are unattractive to look at compared with the elegant interface of Apple TV. The reason I returned it was that if you want to view your photos, slide shows, videos, TV shows and podcasts there is no on screen display! They refer you back to your iPod to manually select them. This makes the entire product null and void for anyone who does more than listen to iPod music files. It's an attractive dock but they need to go back and get it fully functional.
