Slightly disappointed

HomeDock Deluxe easily plays music from my iPod through the TV. However, the album cover feature I was looking forward to didn't appear. The folks at DLO told me that the software in the new iPod Classic 160 doesn't allow artwork to be displayed on the TV screen. I don't know the remote control yet.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Weight

Slow but Nice

PROS: - On-screen iPod menu controls (DLO's own UI, not a clone of what's in your iPod menu) - Track and album art display of the track currently playing (but not in full screen mode) )- Plays videos and music through your home theater system.- Keeps your iPod charged when the dock is in standby mode. Wooden floor and broken) CONS: - Remote control range is a bit limited. - Dock response time slower than desired. There is a noticeable delay between pressing a button on the remote and when itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy
Cons
  • Expensive

So far so good - Portable AV

A nice improvement over the previous model - MAKE SURE YOU BUY THIS AND NOT THE OLD MODEL - same name, no on-screen navigation. The only thing really missing is the on-screen PHOTO navigation. Otherwise, it's a great Apple TV replacement if you already have a video iPod (since the Apple TV is really just a glorified iPod with no screen). The remote is a little annoying at times, doesn't respond immediately to skipping tracks, but works well for the most part. I noticed an intermittent lag inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Useless features

Video list not working properly

I received this as an upgrade from a previous version of Homedock Deluxe for the additional ability to display video titles on screen. But it doesn't work. The list of TV shows is completely unordered - episode titles appear randomly in different series folders. And long titles don't scroll, so you can read them like you would on iPod. I tried an online software update but it didn't work. DLO was quick to respond to my question about this by saying they had no "additional information". I triedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Security

Great product with a few flaws

Considering the price I think this DLO HomeDock Deluxe is perfect for connecting your iPod to your TV and home theater system. Setup is really quite simple, although you'll need to connect to a TV to select the correct channel to view the video. The sound is much better than connecting an iPod with an RCA cable. I never thought my iPod could sound so great! One of the coolest features is of course the display of information about the track being played. In any case, it would be easy to discover

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Has some quirks

Heed Warnings Best for Portable Audio Video

This dock is full of inconsistencies. Please note that I have experienced all the errors described in previous posts, so I will not repeat these points here. From the moment I integrated it into my system I couldn't use its potential as I had a defective device. At least that's what customer service says. I always read reviews before buying no matter the price. The reviews for this product were average, but I decided to take a chance. Sometimes I manage to avoid problems with products despiteโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for Me
Cons
  • No Instructions
