Product Description:
A docking station for your iPod that connects to select models of Yamaha home theater receivers / for 4G & 5G iPods

Amazon.com Product Description:
There are several iPod docking stations on the market, but few are as convenient as the YDS-10, which is custom designed to work with Yamaha's HTR-5960, HTR-5950, RX-V659, and RX-V559 home theater receivers. Connection is easy--simply plug the dock into the Yamaha receiver's rear-panel port. Once connected, the dock not only charges your iPod and plays your favorite playlists through the receiver's stereo or surround speakers, but it also shows iPod images and movies through an attached monitor. It's the perfect setup for people who regularly download TV shows from iTunes but want to watch them on a big TV. The rest of the time, you can rock out to all your favorite songs with style.

Just as impressively, the YDS-10 lets you operate your iPod from across the room using the receiver's remote control and onscreen display, so you don't need to rise off the sofa each time you want to change selections. Connecting your iPod to a home theater system has never been easier or sounded so good. The YDS-10 is compatible with 4th and 5th generation iPods (with click wheels), the iPod mini, and the iPod nano.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Video Not Compatible with Yamaha Receiver RX-V363
I recently purchased an entry level Yamaha 5.1 receiver (model RX-V363). I have been very happy with the receiver and liked the idea of integrating an Ipod dock. However, after I received the dock and spending several hours trying to troubleshoot, I stumbled on an Amazon.com review for the RX-V363 that seemed to indicate I had wasted my time. Apparently, the YDS-11 menu and video capabilities are not compatible with the RX-V363 (the other reviewer learned this after the fact from a Yamaha tech).

The RX-V363 remote operates the Ipod (I have an 80GB classic) just fine, but it is of limited use since you have to be standing within two feet to read the Ipod display. The sound of the YDS-11 is fine. However, as the other reviewer noted, you might consider the Tekkeon Navdock instead of this unit as the Tekkeon has full video and menu capabilities. Essentially, if you have a RX-V-363, you are buying ... Read More

In spite of my effort to ascertain that this product would work with my 40 G color IPOD, it does not. Big disappointment.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good, not great
This products works as advertised and I am satisfied overall, but it could be better. My major knock on this product is that the connection is proprietary and will only connect to a Yamaha receiver with the iPod/Bluetooth connection. It would be much better if the audio/video was carried by standard cables and let the control be a separate (proprietary even) cable. Then one could hook it up to a new receiver down the road. Also, this forces you to choose between the iPod and Bluetooth as they use the same port (and there is only one of them.)

The controls work well. But except for pause/prev/next I didn't find much use for them. Think of it, you are across the room, can you really make out the iPod screen well enough to, say, find a new playlist? If Yamaha would scroll the text across the receiver's front panel, then maybe. Otherwise you'll have to walk over to the iPod anyway just to read the screen. ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT add-on!
Great add-on for the Yamaha receiver! It is nice to be able to display your playlists and songs on the television screen and control with the remote control. Well worth the money.
