Philips SJM3152/17 RF Universal Remote Control for iPod with iPod Cradle/Dock/Charger/AV Connection Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Amazing little gadget actually works as advertised. Unlike the proprietary Denon or Yamaha ipoddocks this one you can connect to ANY kind of audio equipment. And unlike the APPLE ipod dock + flimsy tiny remote with no display whatsoever + AV connection kit (= $100) (which I returned to Apple) this remote works via RADIO FREQUENCY from across the room and through walls if it has to be. The remote even has a DISPLAY that shows you what's playing - you know, kind of useful when you're across the room. You can even navigate through your ipod's menu; that's never been easy and it doesn't get easier using a remote without clickwheel, but it works.
What really blew me away is that I was able to also program my Aquos TV, my Sony receiver, my Sony Blue Ray and my Panasonic VHD/DVD combo. Those devices it controls via INFRARED, just like your original factory remotes that came with whatever you bought, and therefore you have to point the remote at your TV etc when operating those. What a relief, that remote control clutter is gone.
Just for fun I even programmed this remote to control my BOSE Portable Sounddock. Yep, it works.

Dynex DX-IPDR - Digital player docking station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a device that would let me play my ipod through the receiver. I didn't want wire adapters. I wanted a docking station. I was surprised at how hard it was to find. Radio Shack had one for $40. I opted to give this product a chance. It works great! It has a remote and the docking station charges too. I use it for my ipod and itouch. If you need a docking station buy this product.

Denon ASD-1RBK iPod Docking Station (Black Finish) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit is fabulous if you have a 5G or earlier iPod. Apple has deliberately made the latest iPod incompatible with lots of earlier equipment and this unit unfortunately will not work with it.

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.
