5.0 out of 5 stars Yep, works great -- I love it!, August 24, 2007

By	JohnnyC (Alexandria, VA (USA)) - See all my reviews

I got this a few days ago, got the cheapest Monster brand cables out there, which were still a significant upgrade from the cheapos I'd had, and, well, I love it!!

It's true, you can't see the iPod menu on your tv, but it is liberating to have your entire cd collection (in my case, 15 days worth of continuous music on my iPod!) hooked up to your stereo and at your fingertips. With your iPod constantly charging, ready to head out the door with you fully charged at any time.

I've found the sound quality with the Monster cables quite excellent, and the remote to work well. I can be located in my multi-story apartment far away from the stereo, on a different floor from where it's located (cooking in the kitchen for example!), and I can use the radio remote to skip songs.

It's disapponting that Belkin didn't make this compatible with 220 volt electricity for travel in Europe, but for those of you in the States, I highly recommend it. I run mine off a transformer here in Belgium, and really like it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Perfect, May 6, 2007

By	jonicat "jonicat" - See all my reviews

This dock is great! it allows you to listen to your Ipod through your existing stereo system. It has outputs for fixed volume via RCA connectors as well as a pin type connector.

Using the RCA connectors, you cannot adjust the volume via the remote. You can only adjust the volume on the stereo it's self. Using the RCA connection method eliminates the need for adjusting the Ipod to the proper volume. i.e. the Ipod can be at any volume and the stereo will receive a fixed level. A much better system I feel.

The build quality is equal to that of the actual Apple brand dock. The huge difference is that the Apple dock, only allows you to hook up your audio portion of the dock via the pin type plug. In that case you can adjust the volume on the supplied remote or the Ipod it's self.

The belkin gives you both choices, so it's a major step above the Apple version.

The remote supplied is good for pausing, stopping, advancing through music. The remote too is of great build quality and works great through walls and any other situations I have presented within my home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best gadget EVER for video iPod, April 29, 2007

By	F. Meraz (Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have two of these-one for the children shows and one for the adults. Watch your video iPod on TV. It's great. The remote is very unreliable, but you don't need it once you set up your playlist, use the 'repeat all' setting and each movie/video will run right into the other. Keeps your iPod fully charged while viewing. S-Video ensures a DVD quality picture. EVERYONE with a video iPod should own one of these.
