Works as advertized But..........2007-10-20
This product does exactly what it says it does. However I wish it worked differently than designed.
Having set up the iPod doc with the Pioneer AV receiver, and my Logitec Harmony 890 remote the iPod adapter is very easy to use. Plug the iPod into the doc, push the "listen to iPod" button on the Harmony, and you're off and running. The contents of the iPod display on the TV screen where you can select album, artist, genre, etc as you can on the iPod. Well almost.
On the iPod (when it is out of the dock) you can use the click wheel to rapidly scan through songs or albums. When using the adapter the click wheel is disabled and you must use the TV. The interface lacks that rapid search capability and you must slow scroll through genre or album until you finally get to what you want to play. I wish the design allowed the click wheel to operate while in the dock. That way you could plug the iPod in, rapidly select what you want to listen to, and walk away.
The other problem is the TV has to be turned on to select music. If you want to save energy and money you must turn off the TV after you make your selection, then turn it back on to switch albums later. My TV draws about 250 watts so it isn't wise to leave it on for hours while listening to music. This just isn't the best setup.
So my advice to the designers of either this dock or the Pioneer is don't disable the iPod click wheel on your next design. I have a second iPod dock which isn't so well integrated into the Pioneer but I'm thinking that is a good thing. The other iPod doc simply would output audio to the amplifier and all other controls would be on the iPod itself. I may end up using the other doc which has it's own Apple remote, perhaps less convenient in some ways but more convenient in other ways.
Great dock. Pioneer will send you missing cable........2007-08-03
I just bought the brand new Pioneer Elite receiver VSX91TXH and this dock. There was a notice in the receiver box that the iPod cable was missing and that you should call with your model and serial number and they would ship you one in mid September.
A must for Home Theatre and Music Lovers.......2007-07-28
This product is a must for any Home Theatre user who also uses a Ipod. My Pioneer Elite Receiver came with the cable to connect it directly into the receiver. If your receiver does not include the cable you must purchase it separately. I plugged in the device, spent about 5 minutes with the Receiver manual and had the Ipod playing music and pictures on my Plasma display. Your Ipod menu is displayed directly on the TV when selecting music. Pictures require you to select play directly on the Ipod sitting in the Dock. If you have problems getting the menu to display on your TV just unplug the Ipod or Dock from the cable and reset.
This thing is great since you can use or create playlist to run while entertaining.
A/V CABLE NOT INCLUDED.......2006-12-12
The shipment was extremely fast, but the Audio/Video cable was not included as is stated in the product description... There is not even a place for the cable in the small box this product comes in. Electronics Expo was good though, they are paying for the shipment back to them and refunding my money. I would rather have had the dock and cable though, as I've seen it work and it's a great docking station paired with the Elite reciever..

Poor product, waste of money.......2007-07-06
Could not get this to work. PC and laptop did not recognize the IPOD. Took it to work and PC at work was successful but only for awhile and then the same thing happened. It did not recognize the IPOD. The IPOD gave message not to disconnect but I-Tunes (I call this Looney Tunes) did not recognize that the IPOD was connected and I could not eject it. PC would not let me disconnect. I had unplug and let the battery run out so it could reset.
Cheap.......2007-03-08
I have a 5G Video iPod and I had problems getting this dock to work. Windows would recognize there was a new device, but would come back as device unknown and it wouldn't launch iTunes. I purchased a 6' Male-A to Male-A USB cable separately, then it started working for me, so I suspect the USB cable that came with the dock was the problem.

In response to the previous reviewer...yes, you get one with the iPod, but if - like me - you have multiple universal docks (3 in my case)...one is not enough

save your money.......2007-05-23
If like me, you are considering buying this so your 5G 60GB video ipod fits better in an older product that did not come with the proper adaptor, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! The adaptors for 4G ipods that came with my JBL On Time and RadioShack Accurian dock hold my ipod more securely than these adaptors, supposedly designed by Apple specifically for the 60 GB iPod with Video.

iPod Universal Dock Adapter.......2007-07-03
Although my iPod mini is only 2 years old; it is outdated. This adapter works great on my new home theater system. The theater system came with adapters for the newer generations of iPods; not the mini. I was thrilled that amazon had this product.
