Yamaha YDS 10 Universal iPod Dock for Select Yamaha Home Theater Receivers
Yamaha YDS 10 Universal iPod Dock for Select Yamaha Home Theater Receivers
There are several iPod docking stations on the market, but few are as convenient as the YDS-10, which is custom designed to work with Yamaha’s HTR-5960, HTR-5950, RX-V659, and RX-V559 home theater receivers. Connection is easy–simply plug the dock into the Yamaha receiver’s rear-panel port. Once connected, the dock not only charges your iPod and plays your favorite playlists through the receiver’s stereo or surround speakers, but it also shows iPod images and movies through an attached monitor. It’s the perfect setup for people who regularly download TV shows from iTunes but want to watch them on a big TV. The rest of the time, you can rock out to all your favorite songs with style.
Just as impressively, the YDS-10 lets you operate your iPod from across the room using the receiver’s remote control and onscreen display, so you don’t need to rise off the sofa each time you want to change selections. Connecting your iPod to a home theater system has never been easier or sounded so good. The YDS-10 is compatible with 4th and 5th generation iPods (with click wheels), the iPod mini, and the iPod nano.

5 Stars Nice little setup
While it would have been jice for Yamaha to include I-POD dock with the speaker bar, the product works as advertised with the speaker bar and the cost was very reasonable compared to other dealers for this specialty item with limited availability.
5 Stars Great Product
This product works great with my Yamaha receiver, Amazon did a great job delivering this product in a day and half. I rate Amazon.com as the #1 company for fast delivery and product quality.Yamaha YDS-10 Universal iPod Dock for Select Yamaha Home Theater Receivers

4 Stars Great Option for the Yamaha Receiver
The concept of the IPOD dock is simply great. I was surprised to learn that it is an available option AFTER we bought the receiver. It’s such an important accessory, that one would think the Yamaha marketing folks would have included it in the point of sale materials. Go figure.
Anyway, it is simple to install and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with an IPOD.
Playing music from the IPOD is certainly easier than selecting CD’s to play and then inserting them into a CD changer.
Now that we have the IPOD dock, we may no longer need to have a multi-CD /DVD player. When it comes time to upgrade to a Blue-ray, we may only need the single CD/DVD player which will $ave a few shekels.
