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.

Onkyo DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock Review
|
|
|
Overall, I like it, despite the following shortcomings. The interaction between the dock and the receiver is promising, except that the iPhone says "accessory attached" or something and since the "on screen display" won't display on the tv, I can't see what album, title, etc. is playing. I suspect it is an issue with the receiver (TX-SR505) not sending the video image on to the tv, but that is just a guess. I have to select the playlist or whatever and THEN plug the iPhone in to the dock. Lots of monkeying around with it so far and I'm still not done. Sounds great though. (Same issues with an iPod attached, btw.)

Onkyo DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock Review

After initially getting to grips with the user interface it does what it says its supposed to. I found it a little difficult to use the onkyo receiver remote to control it. The instruction book wasn't very clear either on how to link the dock to your receiver remote but the small dock remote works just fine. And yes the on screen display is somewhat dated but most of the time I play my music with the tv off anyway. The music quality is great and I am quite happy with the purchase. My wife is listening to some jazz right now on our home theater while reading a book so its already being put to use.

Onkyo DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock Review

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.

Onkyo DS-A2X Remote Interactive iPod Dock Review

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.
