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. What's in the Box
Dock, connection cable, iPod adapters, user's manual.

 Tom C September 1, 2008
In spite of my effort to ascertain that this product would work with my 40 G color IPOD, it does not. Big disappointment.
 Good, not great August 30, 2008
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. I do believe some receivers will project it on a TV screen if you hook to the video out (my setup is for a 2.1 music room so a TV is vorboten in this room.)
So it works well, but it's not a be-all, end-all.
 GREAT add-on! July 21, 2008
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.
 Ipod User MUST July 1, 2008
With over 8,000 songs on my Ipod I couldn't imagine NOT adding this dock to my new Yamaha Surround Sound Receiver. It works just as advertised. One feature that puts it ahead of previous "docks" I've used is that the controls (wheel) on the Ipod itself still operate while the thing is docked. The "on screen display" to my LCD TV is not as "pretty" as I would have liked, but it gives you all the information you want; and song titles "scroll" on the front display of the receiver as well. It also charges the Ipod while it is docked. I don't have any videos on my Ipod yet, so I can't say what will happen with that in the "on screen" mode. But since I just wanted it for my music, it is superb.
Excellent sound June 19, 2008
What a great idea for the ipod! Sounds great; remote controls the ipod functions too.
