Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The DLO 009-9764 HomeDock for iPod is the world's first iPod dock that lets you view and select your iPod's music on your TV screen, allowing you to navigate, select and play your songs using the included 18-button remote control. The HomeDock will change the way you experience your iPod, your music, and your pictures, letting you browse through Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres and more, even viewing slideshows on your big screen at amazing resolutions, all from the comfort of your sofa.

DLO's 009-9764 displays your iPod's music content on a beautifully designed HomeDock TV interface that's as clear and cool as the iPod itself. You can even customize colors, choosing from four different color themes including Aqua, Forest, Teal or Metal to match the decor of any room in your house. You can also choose from several screen savers, such as a Status Bar screen saver that shows your iPod's current status, song and album information on a moving graphic billboard. The HomeDock's intuitive remote control lets you navigate with ease through your songs and playlists to select just the right tunes for any occasion, letting you control 14 various iPod functions. The HomeDock displays the currently playing song info and progress at the top of your screen while letting you select another song from the listings below, with names and titles that are large and easy to read from anywhere in the room.

In taking the entertainment out of your pocket and putting it on the big screen, the HomeDock offers two distinct modes: On-Screen Navigation Mode for music interface on your TV, and iPod Mode to play photo slideshows on your TV directly from the iPod. You can quickly switch modes with the push of a button to watch and control videos and photo slideshows from your iPod, or browse and play music with on-screen navigation. This unit connects to your home entertainment system or stereo via standard RCA plugs, so you don't have to worry about any adapters or Y-cables. Your iPod's music is sent to your stereo through the superior audio line-out from the bottom of the iPod, which provides for a much higher-quality audio signal than if you simply plugged your iPod into your stereo with a Y-cable from the headphone jack. With no adapters, and no loose cables, all you have to deal with is great sounding iPod music coming through your existing home stereo.

You can not only enjoy the convenience and performance of the HomeDock next to your home stereo and TV, but with your PC or Mac as well. This unit also includes standard USB that connects to your computer and lets you sync and charge your iPod right from the HomeDock. USB powers your HomeDock so you don't even need to plug it in when attached to your computer, letting you play your iPod's music through a pair of powered speakers, or passed back through the input of your PC. This provides you with the additional benefit of having a convenient, great sounding iPod office stereo system, with its own remote control of course.

The DLO 009-9764 HomeDock works with all dockable, click wheel iPods including the: iPod Nano (1st and 2nd generation), iPod Video, iPod Color, 4G iPod and iPod mini models. Your iPod can connect to your large-screen TV via a standard A/V connection, or through S-Video, allowing you to not just view picture slideshows, but play them with a music soundtrack. The HomeDock fully powers and charges your iPod while in use, and comes with all the necessary cables to get going right out of the box, including an AC power adapter and an A/V cable. The low-profile HomeDock comes in black and white to match both your iPod and home decor, measures 5.75 x 1 x 3.75 inches (W x H x D), and it's backed by a manufacturer's 90-day warranty.

What's in the Box
The DLO 009-9764 HomeDock base module, the HomeDock 14-function remote control with battery, an adjustable iPod support, 1 x 6-foot A/V cable (left-right stereo audio, composite video), 1 x 6-inch RCA-to-minijack adapter, 1 x 12-volt AC power adapter, and a user's manual.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre at best, February 15, 2006

By

This review is from: DLO HomeDock for iPod (Electronics)

While the concept of this device is good, its problems are:

1) you need the remote control to turn the unit on. If the battery dies or the remote control is out of reach you cannot turn the unit on manually.

2) my unit stopped working after four months and when I looked at the warranty it's only for 3 months... and the warranty isn't in effect unless you registered the item 30 days from purchase.

I wouldn't recommend this item. I'm sure there has to be something better out there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for I-Tunes Video Viewing, February 12, 2006

This review is from: DLO HomeDock for iPod (Electronics)

I got this because one of my favorite features on my 30 Gig Video Ipod is downloading televison series. I recently discovered the series LOST and would have been completely so if not for I-tunes and was able to catch up. But that much viewing on a small screen is not always pleasurable so with the DLO 009-9764 HomeDock for iPod I can view these shows right on my television. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the sound does leave room for improvement and the instruction book included is not really very helpful. For anyone like me who might be a little slow on the iPod gadgets without instructions - you must go into your iPod's Videos menu and choose Video Settings and then choose TV OUT to on to get it to play on your television. they do not provide this information in the instruction book however. One must either A. call DLO for assistance, B. be an iPod expert or C. Pray for devine intervention to obtain this information. Other than that glitch I think it is a great product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Trash-Stereo Docking Station, April 9, 2006

This review is from: DLO HomeDock for iPod (Electronics)

I bought this docking station because of its remote and because I wanted to stream music into my stereo.

When I first set it up, I recognized immediately that the sound quality wasn't what I was used to. I looked up the specifications on the box and realized that the docking unit was delivering an analog signal to my stereo. I'm not a techno geek and I'm sure someone will dish me for the pros/cons of analog vs. digital signals...but I didn't like the sound. I couldn't get it to play in stereo let alone allow my Denon receiver to do its digital magic (5 speaker surround).

Seeing that I spent near $90 bucks on it, I figured I'd just live with it. I would Sacrifice sound quality for convenience. (Especially since it was my bad for not reading the fine print).

Well, after 1.5 months the damn thing broke. I wasn't too worried since the box said it had a warranty. Unfortunately as I read, the warrantee only works if you register in within 30 days of purchase.

So I'm out $90 dollars. I will steer clear of all DLO products in the future and I recommend looking elsewhere for a stereo docking station. DOWN WITH DLO PRODUCTS!!!!
