iPod on Big Screen and Great Sound too!
(5 out of 5) by Jordan's Things on Jan 8, 2008 (Naples, Florida)I am actually using this Yamaha / IPOD dock with my iPhone and
it works perfectly. Even though nowhere does it say that it
actually works with the iPhone, it does.
I am able to watch the latest and greatest YouTube! videos,
my personal videos, look at photos and play any music loaded
on my iPhone without a problem. I also like the fact that
my phone is charging while in the base.
Great product and fairly easy to set up.

Couldn't be easier
(5 out of 5) by Tankr Xprt on Oct 21, 2007 (Morris Plains, NJ USA)The way you want your on-line ordered product. Review, order, receive, plug in -> works. Graphical interface is a little simple and we're looking forward to future generations featuring a full color OSD including the album covers. Other minus may be the price.

Tricky Dock
(4 out of 5) by Randy Warr on Aug 23, 2007This dock gets the job done but it is not all that pretty. 1. Make sure you have your video cable plugged in correctly (that would have saved me a lot of time...like making sure your lawnmower has gas in it before taking it to the mechanic because it won't start). 2. The tuner manual says nothing about having to put it on "source" instead of "amp" like is says in the user guide. I spent about an hour reading instructions and this website before I got it to work properly and even after that I wasnt blown away. Looks like some font from the eighty's or something. But like I said I have owned three different Ipod docks and if you have a yamaha tuner I think once you get it to work this is the way to go. Sound quality is great. Good luck with setting it up...just make sure you set aside an hour of your day to get it working.....

Plug and play and play and play and ....
(5 out of 5) by John Fisher on Jul 26, 2007Bought this for my Yamaha RX-V2700 home theater system. Reviews here note some of the issues with this product and how it works with receivers. Be aware that some of these issues are not a fault of this product, but of the receiver / remote / iPod.
For example, how the Yamaha remote works with the iPod and the dock is a function of the remote - not the dock. Yamaha uses a slider to switch between the various components. The iPod is no different, it's just another component to manage.
And yes, the menu system could be better, but it's a result of communication with the iPod. That is, the iPod limits this. The iPod menu system design is good for iPods, but bad for a larger display.
By the way, as a tip, to get a Logitech Harmony remote to work with the iPod dock, you need to record the RAW codes from the Yamaha remote. That did the trick.
But the YDS-10 dock itself? Well, I plugged it into my Yamaha receiver, plugged my iPod into the dock and played and played and played ... With the RX-V2700 ability to enhance MP3 sound, the results were very sweet.
