Belkin F8Z126 Power Dock AV for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have an excellent Sony component stereo system that's 15 years old, and a few months ago the 5 CD carousel player malfunctioned, so I had to look for an alternative to playing multiple albums, and debated whether to replace the multi-CD player with a new one.
With the advent of MP3 players I just did not see any reason to buy legacy technology that wasn't particularly cheaper, so I decided to purchase an Apple iPod Classic to act as the home jukebox, since I had already ripped all of my CD's to MP3 format.
I began researching iPod docks and a looked at a number of them, including the Apple OEM version. Of course the Apple product was way too expensive for what I was trying to do, so I decided to try the Belkin dock.
At first I was not clear whether or not this dock would work with the Classic, however, I am very happy to say that this dock works great! It is the best way to connect the iPod to my component stereo without resorting to an FM transmitter, as I had been doing before, and it charges the iPod at the same time! The sound is excellent without any distortion... it just works! The volume is controlled from the stereo receiver and not the iPod itself, it simply ignores the volume control on the iPod... a very nice feature.
Keep in mind that the video out does not work on this dock for the Classic (works with previous generations of iPods), as this new iPod requires a special video cable that only Apple sells, so if you are looking for video output from the latest iPod's this is not for you, but if audio is your main purpose, then I highly recommend the Belkin dock. It is easy to set up and use.
