Sony TDM-IP1 Digital Media Port iPod Dock Reviews
But it makes for great music from my SONY ES amplifier. This dock works with iPod but not iPhone.
It is very easy to do. I have the Sony SA-WCT100 Theater system. This is the best way to connect your I-POD to this system.
Through a semi-complicated set up, I can get the video to work on the TV. It will start by scrolling slowly, and then go lightning fast until you are way past what you are looking for. So, all in all, the thing works. It's just nothing special.
Oh, and the menu is just plain ugly. Controlling the iPod through the receiver works, but the functionality of this gets frustrating. Prior to owning this, I just had RCA cords that had an adaptor that plugged into my iPod.
Also, when you have a couple hundred artists, scrolling to the one you want is a pain. You can not watch video when using the receiver to control it. It looks nice, though. It works; does what it is supposed to. I bought this and have had it for a while now. With this item, the iPod charges, which is cool. I can't say I would spend the money to buy it again.
Not all of the normal iPod categories are there (notably, Podcasts). That set up worked fine. You can switch this function off, and then it will work. But, then you're basically paying $75 or more for an iPod charger and a video cord (not included).
Connection to the Sony soundbar system was intuitive and simple. The only limitation is the remote does not provide a a visual display that repeats the digital menu screen on the iPod so I must be within visual range of the iPod to select playlists, shuffle, etc. The remote control for the HT-CT-100 soundbar system controls the iPod perfectly. Not a big issue for me. My iPod began charging as soon as it was connected to the DMPort. I've owned the DMPort for the Sony HT-CT-100 soundbar system for about 3 weeks. It arrived in a well-packaged box system.
But I did not care about that part. I especially like the fact that I can use the TV screen to navigate the iTouch. I got this item to connect my 16GB iTouch with my new Sony HTCT100 Sound Bar with Sub-Woofer - Black. Simple to use, took less than 5 minutes to hook up. I do not think that it is compatible. But, not a problem for me though, I can use the Sony remote that came with my sound bar. BTW, you will definitely need to attach the included RCA cable to be able to view it in your TV. So they said they'll send me another one.
I don't think that you can use this with an iTouch to view videos or pictures in your iTouch. I just wanted to use it to listen to my music and navigate my iTouch. All in all, I am pretty happy with it. Also, the product description states that it comes with a remote control, but the one Amazon sent me did not.
