2.0 out of 5 stars Only purchase if you want to play video, April 14, 2009

By	PesterPatrick (Illinois) - See all my reviews

Same product as the DS-A2 except that it can play video. Sound is good with my Onkyo 606 receiver. Remote layout is confusing and has a very limited range. On-screen display is horrible. It looks like DOS back in the 80's. If your not interested in playing video, save your money and buy the DS-A2.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cool, in a retro way, October 24, 2009

By	P. Houk - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I tried three different IPOD docks with on-screen displays (this Onkyo, the DLO Hi Def home dock and one by Radio Shack). I returned them all and bought an Apple TV. The DS-A3 text-only on screen display is so bad that it has some genuine campy, retro appeal. It's fun in the way that gettig out your old Atari 2600 is fun. My favorite part is the status bar that shows how much is left on the current song. It represents a half-played song like this: [>>>>>>>> ]. As the song progresss, you see more arrows. If that's what you're into, that's cool. I can see some advantages to this ultra-simple approach: it is probably bullet proof, it has virtually no boot up time and it does not have any delay while album art and other fancy features load. Also, the composite video output is nice for people with older TVs. But if you are trying to get digital music onto your home stereo, better to spend the money on an Apple TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition for the Onkyo receiver!!, June 26, 2009

By	G. Wong (Melbourne, Vic AUS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Really great to be able to listen to the music on my iPod in surround sound, and easy to control too.
The on screen display is VERY average though. Easy to navigate, but looks very bad. But still good to be able to watch the videos I have on the iPod on my TV.
