the denon control dock for my ipod exceeds my expectations. it was the only dock that i found with a GUI so i could manage all my pictures and music on my 160 GB ipod through my tv. another great feature of the dock is having an ehternet port allowing access to over 7000 internet radio stations. the remote control is small and has all the functions i could ever want. in my opinion this control dock is one heck of a buy!

I almost returned this until I discovered all the issues I was having with the device were created by the remote.

I recently purchased a LogicTech 'HarmonyOne' (highest recommendation on this remote - it does what others have claimed to do for years and actually works) when I added the ASD-3N to the HarmonyOne it works flawlessly, I pick back up the Denon Remote and get the same crappy results.

So, very happy with the Dock especially the Internet Radio, as other have said this feature alone makes it worth adding to a Home Theater set-up, but get the HarmonyOne and toss the Denon Remote back in the box.

I bought this unit because is compatible with my Denon receiver and the reviews have been so favorable. I enjoy tuning the iPod from the receiver. My only complaint is that my iPod contains over 1200 songs, so the alphabetical sorting can be really slow. I resolved this problem by controlling the iPod directly instead of using the receiver's menu.

The Internet radio feature works very well. I have a wireless network, but I chose this model instead of the wireless based on the reviews. (It was not that big a deal to run an ethernet cable to my modem.) The receiver runs through the Internet channels nicely.

It is a litle expensive, but is a good product. I,m happy whith my purchase. This equipament brought a new dimension to my Ipod

The unit worked great. Only thing I would improve is search capabilities for the ipod or files from network to include a starting letter feature instead of scrolling through alphabetically.

The Denon ASD-3N iPod/Network Connectivity Client Dock is a great addition to any AV system. I have the Denon 3808CI but it will work with any AV receiver.

The user interface (menus) are easy to understand and the remote allows both on-screen operation from the mini remote or the ability to drive the unit from the iPod directly; the latter is my preferred method of operation.

The Internet connection provides the ability to update the firmware, play from your local PC as a server and to play Internet streaming Audio.

All in all this is a fantastic unit when Internet connectivity is no problem. If a hard wire network cable is not available Denon has a wireless version that can connect to your wireless home router.

This docking station works as described.

I thought the docking station would display song information on my multimedia receiver, also a Denon but after further review of the documentation it will display the information on a TV if your TV will accept the input. I am not hooked up to a TV so this docking station is giving me no more then what I already had. Lesson learned, read more carefully.

I have no negative remarks on the docking station it performs as described and intended.

Great product, works great and charges iPhone 3G and new model iPod's. Amazon sells at a great price also!

Since I bought this unit it was plagued by problems. Finally it overheated and died.
Pros: Feature rich
Cons: Very poor sound quality, not reliable
This was highly recommended by everywhere I read and by Audio Sales staff that had never steared me wrong in the past. Prob defective but didnt start acting up until the waranty expired so couldnt return. Too bad.

There's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. Connected the dock to my Dennon receiver EXACTLY as the instructions show. Remote only worked about once every tenth button press. I thought that might be because it needed a firmware update even though it would seem to me that the remote should not need a firmware update. Successfully downloaded the update and... now the remote doesn't work at all!! Dock does not work aside from the green power light. Never did get it to work in any way. Waste of $170. Very disappointing.
