Zune Home AV Pack v2 Reviews
Amazon's delivery was also very quick. It did take me a little bit to figure out that the dock base slides to accomadate other sizes of the Zune. I love this zune dock. The remote control is fantastic. It's easy to hook up and is a quick way to be able to listen to it while I am working around the house.
Take my word for it because I ended up buying this and then taking it back. i recently purchased the Zune Home AV Pack V2 hoping the Zune 120 would fit since the dimensions is the same as the Zune 80.even though the Zune 120 will fit in the Zune 80 adapter plate for the stand it wont fit if the adapter plate is inserted into the stand.the plug-in insert to the Zune 80 sits further towards the back of the Zune player and the Zune 120 plug-in insert sits further towards the front.long story short the Zune 120 will fit with none of the adapter plates in but it looks ugly and is not recommended because you risk greatly ruining your Zune Home AV Pack V2.
The AV pack is a very nice addition to the zune. The output to high def is a unexpected feature. The remote has good range. I really like mine.
if the price point was closer to what I could swallow as fair, I'd buy the Zune 120 w/ the Home A/V Dock v2. The Amazon price point is still too high. I have an iPod 80, and as a splurge only would like to buy a second MP3 player, and the obvious choice for my requirements is the new Zune 120. The price point of the Home A/V Dock v2 is a deal killer. Exercising restraint, I'll simply keep toting my iPod between work and home. However, the Home A/V Dock v2 Kit is a must have item IF I were to commit to purchase (I've ruled out the origin A/V Dock, though I know it can be made to work easily w/ the Zune 120). Microsoft's $99 MSRP is outrageous.
Overall you might be better off getting the first gen a/v kit. I only used the power pak from this kit and use all the first gen stuff instead after seeing the bad quality. I already own a first gen 30GB zune and also have the v1 A/K kit as well.
I noticed the quality on this a/v kit was no where near the quality of the last gen. Another plus is the new power plug, its smaller, the actual prongs fold into the adapter for traveling, and its plugs in sideways. The only plus to the new dock is it has HD cable support for v2+ gen zunes only.
The remote felt really cheap and was lacking buttons, the dock wasnt that much better, also felt cheap and on top of that there was no place to hold the remote unlike the first gen. I got this kit free as a prize from a web site.
