Product Description The YDS-11SL dock is compatible with all the latest iPods while still providing the easiest way to connect and control your iPod from dock enabled Yamaha products.
Yamaha iPod dock (YDS-11SL)October 12, 2008 This dock works with the Yamaha RX-V1800 exactly as advertised, integrating the iPod into the A/V system. My iPod is an early generation, so I don't get the on-screen display, which would be nice, and I haven't tested a newer iPod in the dock yet.
If you're spending the money for one of the Yamaha units with which this works, the price is reasonable for the integration.
Video Features Not Compatible with Yamaha RX-V363September 26, 2008 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 a $60 charger that allows you to hide the input in the back of your receiver and leave the video/aux input on the front of the receiver free for something else or simply to leave open without unsightly cords. Not a great use of $60 as far as I am concerned.
Yamaha YDS-11SL Universal Ipod DockSeptember 19, 2008 I can listen to my ipod's music and watch video on my tv set. This products is a one more fine product from Yamaha.
Expensive but no other choice...September 12, 2008 It should be an included accessory when you buy the Yamaha receivers. You don't have any other option if you want to use you Ipod with your receiver...!!!! I think Yamaha, makes good stuff....but it should have an universal conection for auxiliar input....how about usb?...or mini usb?.
Great product, delivered quickly and at a great price.September 11, 2008 Product works great. Plugs in and goes. Can change songs with Receiver remote and you can see the song list on your TV if it's connected to your receiver. It's a must for anyone who want's to listen to their iPod through their receiver.
