I ordered the YDS-11SL Dock for my iPhone since it said it supports the iPod Touch, gambling that I could view videos and slide shows. Sure enough, it worked and I got excellent quality on my 52" flat TV connected to my Yamaha HTR-6080 A/V receiver. When I first connected the iPhone, it said the connected device was not compatible. But I selected the iPod icon on the iPhone. I watched a video that I downloaded from iTunes into my iPhone, and also watched a slideshow of the photos downloaded from my computer to the iPhone. Very pleased with my purchase of this unit.
Easy to use - great little interface to play music [Posted on 2008-11-06]
For $60, this is a little gem. Comes with 3 little plastic inserts that you'll use depending on the type of apple ipod you have. We have the small thin nano and it fits into the docking station just great. There is one plug that fits into the back of the receiver. What's really nice about the docking station is that you simply press 'dock' on the remote and then 'display' (as long as your tv is on) and the entire ipod menu will show up on your screen (provided your tv is connected to your receiver via hdmi). As for quality (please understand I am very serious about sound) is very good, but because it's ipod music (digital and compressed) it won't be quite as perfect as a cd. I'll use a cd over the ipod when I'm looking for the crystal clear, uncompressed tunes.
Works great [Posted on 2008-11-06]
I just tried this out and so far it works great. As I was connecting it I noticed the instructions for my Yamaha Receiver stated I couldn't use the controls on the ipod (I had to use the remote control from the receiver). That would have been a deal killer for me...but luckily my instructions were wrong. I am able to use the controls on the iPod as well as the remote control from the receiver. This is great...because I prefer to use the ipod to navigate to an artist or playlist and then the receiver remote to skip tracks, pause, adjust volume, etc.
Also, the sound is great and it charges my iPod. I think this is definitely worth the price.

The Ipod dock works great with my Yamaha HTR-6160 receiver. Its a snap to hook up and the on screen menue is an outstanding feature. It works with almost all ipods, I have 2007 classic and a 2nd generation nano. The nano will not show the on screen menue. All and all I would recommend this dock to anyone with an up to date Yamaha receiver
Better than expected, but not excellent! [Posted on 2008-11-24]
Recently purchased the Yamaha YDS-11SL iPod dock for my new home theatre (I have a new Yamaha 663, Sony 46" LCD and Sony 350 Blue-ray player). It was easy to hook up to the receiver and the music sounds great. The menu structure takes a few minutes to get used to (no instructions, but rather intuitive). I had my Harmony remote preset for this iPod dock when the Geek squad installed my home theatre. Surprise... everything works as expected.. However, I would prefer the iPod song menu and playlists to be visible on the TV, which is not the case. I have a closed Cabinet (hence the Harmony remote), and now have to open the doors to see what I want to play. Yamaha could have done this better!
