Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Onkyo DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock

Customer Review: Dock is nice but the the OSD Stinks
Summary: 3 Stars

If you can get another ipod interactive dock for your receiver, I would suggest it if it is cheaper. The OSD is archaic and is no fun to muddle through.

Customer Review: nice little device
Summary: 4 Stars

Overall, a really neat device. I do not like the on screen menu. It burned my lcd screen. other than that I have really enjoyed it and I am glad I purchased it.
6th Avenue got it to me in a flash. I will be using them again!

Customer Review: ipod remote dock
Summary: 2 Stars

This dock is very problematic. It only works with certain ipod models and only with the most current ipod update. The on-screen display only lasts about 15 minutes, and the remote only works pointed at the dock, not at the tv. Even on 5th generation ipods, we can't watch a downloaded video on screen. This remote dock is only good for connecting and docking an ipod directly to your home theater system for listening to your library, so there are other, simpler ways to do that. Maybe this concept will be improved over the next year. (And it is used with a companion Onyko receiver in this application.)Onkyo DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock

Customer Review: Works well, sound quality weak, poor interface
Summary: 3 Stars

I've had the DS-A2X for a few months now, and it's just OK in my opinion. Works well, but i'd prefer that I could read the menus on my receivers (805) display than have to have my TV on. I have a larger LCD but do not want to turn the TV on in order to scroll through the albums. You can set it so the iPod itself does not lock up and you can control the songs this way, which is what I do most of the time.

Sound quality is pretty poor but I think this is the iPod's fault and not the DS-A2X. MP3's are so compressed. Playing CD's via my Parasound changer sound 10X better but for my wife this works well since she have an huge library at her fingertips.
