This is nice but....

I've owned this for about a month now and honestly this is only "ok". The main feature that I do like is that it allows me to use my ipod with my Yamaha 663BL tuner, which scrolls the name of the song on the tuner. The dock is okay, but very awkward to operate using the controls from the tuner. There is a little learning, that needs to happen, but its still awkward. Also, make sure that the iPod is docked firmly in the unit and that the connection at the back of the tuner is firmly in place.

Is this worth the price? Yes, because it removes fumbling with CD's, it allows for you to utilize the iPod with your home system (which is awesome).

However, I feel certain that another company will make this same dock and do a better job its just a matter of time.

Won't pass video with 3rd generation ipod touch

I own an HTR-6140 receiver. By all accounts and advertising for both my receiver and this dock, this dock is 100% compatible with my receiver and should do everything it's advertised to do. It doesn't. You can't view photos or video's from a 3rd gen ipod touch. At least on this receiver. I have been in contact with Yamaha and have been told that there is new dock set to release before summer that MAY address this issue. If this is important to you, you may want to hold off.

That said, the dock is easy to use, allows you to use your receiver's remote to control your music, gives you a rudimentary on screen display, and charges your ipod. If you have a case on your ipod touch it will not fit in the dock with the Apple dock adapter in place. It will however fit without using a dock adapter but the fit feels somewhat loose and flimsy. This is the only option if you don't want to remove your case every time you listen music.

To summarize, I like the features that do work but also wish that every advertised feature did work. I also wish the connection was more secure and that perhaps there was a back that the ipod could rest on.

Sound Quality is Acceptable But Not Great

I found that this Yamaha IPOD dock had acceptable sound quality with my Yamaha V765 Receiver. However, because it cost me $99, I was disappointed in its sound quality. Pop music had the best sound field. Classical and choral music had a lower sound quality to my ears. This may be due to the inherent lower quality of MP3 files.

Excellent!

No problem hooking it up to the RXV-663. Works perfectly. The onscreen & osd are great. Took a little tweeking to get my Harmony remote running it all just the way I wanted, but not any more than other equipment.

great add on to my Yamaha HTR-6140 Receiver

This little docking station is a perfect add-on to my Yamaha HTR-6140 5.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver. Basically "plug and play" ... sound is great. The price was excellent.

The YDS-11SL dock is compatible with all the latest iPods, including the iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod mini, and iPod Classic while still providing the easiest way to connect and control your iPod from dock enabled Yamaha products.
