Product Description The DS-A2x comes with an on-screen display mode (OSD) that enables you to view track lists, artists, albums, songs, genres, composers on your connected display for easy selection and navigation. If you have long lists on your iPod, you can use four page modes, Large, Medium, Small and Page, to move through the list in progressively larger steps. You'll have absolutely no need to handle your iPod while it's sitting in the DS-A2x as it comes with its own remote controller to control all basic playback functions. The remote controller also brings one-touch control for random shuffle playback over songs or albums, a resume function that will return to the track being played when the iPod is stopped or removed from the Dock and a repeat function for one track or all. You can also switch off the OSD to enjoy video playback via the DS-A2x's composite video output. View photos as a slide show over the larger display of your TV or enjoy viewing your photos over you computer display. Relive your images with the option of music through your Onkyo system to accompany your slide show.

I bought this ...and like it.June 26, 2008 I like the iPod dock overall. It's easy to use and the remote works well. It's not quite as intuitive with the controls as I would like. For example, you have to hit "MENU" to go up a level. And "SELECT" to play something. You can't just hit the play button.
The on-screen display is black and white, like the old PONG games of the 70's. I expected it to have the same iPod screen look. But that aside it does a good job.
Poor product designJune 24, 2008 I took a chance on this even after reading about the ugly on screen displays. And they are unattractive to look at compared with the elegant interface of Apple TV. The reason I returned it was that if you want to view your photos, slide shows, videos, TV shows and podcasts there is no on screen display! They refer you back to your iPod to manually select them. This makes the entire product null and void for anyone who does more than listen to iPod music files. It's an attractive dock but they need to go back and get it fully functional.
FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!!!!June 4, 2008 Don't waste your money on a CD player, buy this and have endless amounts of music without taking up space in your living room with bulky CD racks. Easy to use.
Buy it!!!
Nifty little dockJune 1, 2008 This iPod dock is pretty cool. I agree with others that the video menu interface and remote could use some work, but its easy enough to just select videos and movies directly from the iPod screen. It's really nice to watch tv episodes and movies I downloaded from iTunes on my big LCD. That is what I bought it for, so it works perfectly for me.
A must have if you have a Onkyo ReceiverMay 23, 2008 This is a must have if you own an iPod and a Onkyo receiver. The on screen menu is very easy to use. Setup was also extremely easy. If songs from you iPod will sound incredible, that is if you encode the song at a high bitrate.
