 Works right out of the box. July 23, 2008

I cannot believe how easy it was to hookup. A very heavy duty cable with a custom multi-pin plug goes into a custom socket on the bottom of my YSP-4000. Works fine. Listened to podcasts and watched video from a 5G iPod and an original iPhone. Charges while in the cradle. The YDS-11SL came out long after the YSP-4000, but it works great.
Don't expect great video on a big TV. The resolution of the iPod video is not very high -- very grainy on my 52 inch LCD (not Yamaha's fault..). My AppleTV works much much easier and has a much better picture.

 Video Features Not Compatible with Yamaha RX-V363 September 26, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
iPod & Yamaha ... together at last. August 6, 2008

My dad passed away, his iPOD full of thousands of old-time musicals, Beatles, etc... all the music he loved. Got this Yamaha adapter for a $210 dollar 5.1 receiver (100 watts per channel) replacing traditional stereo in my old craftsmen house (i.e., small).
Well, tears came to my eyes as I could listen to Pop's 'ol time favorites over my yamaha book-shelf speakers in Stereo instead of head-phones. I won't change a thing on his iPod, it'll remain plugged in and ready to play. I need to try the remote control part of this which I haven't done yet but I'll get 'round tuit. I'm getting a new speaker system (5.1) from orb audio, can't wait to play back. I'm happy with this product, but do wish it supported iPhone playback as well. Playing back an iPod thru a proper amplifier/speaker setup is pretty darn cool, changing your perception of just what an iPod is about. My 300 CD carousel is starting to look pretty lame... if I could just get off my butt to convert all the cd's :)
Thanx to Amazon for telling me the product even EXISTED, then offering a good price and the usual great delivery service. God, why does anyone drive to a mall anymore?
P.S. - bought my Samsung 52" 'touch-of-color' model 650 ... am ECSTATIC! Waited for years, pulled the trigger, Amazon came through... and I was scared about buying something like that over the internet, now if they JUST had a line of Amazon irons, drivers, hybrids, putters, and wedges ... THEN we'd be talkin' some serious nirvana.
Great iPod Dock October 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is one of the best iPod Dock I have ever used. Works flawlessly!! The main selling point for me is it's on-screen display of playlist and as published this feature works great even with my 4G iPod. The on-screen display is monochrome and I wonder if this is due to my 4G iPod's monochrome display. Get it...you will love it.
Pros:
1. Great sound
2. Easy connectivity
3. On-Screen display
4. Fast scrolling through playlist (keep pressing the scroll button for a few seconds)
5. Works with my Universal Logitech remote
6. Has a setting to turn-off charging the iPod in stand-by mode (Receiver RX-V1800).
Cons:
1. Grayscale display on my HDTV (not sure if this is due to my iPod)
