Digital camera reviews of Onkyo UP-A1 Dock for the iPod
Digital camera Review: A Simple Device for iPod Playback Through Onkyo Receivers
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite what the price may suggest, this Onkyo iPod dock is an exceedingly simple device, with all the pros and cons that comes with simplicity. If you have a compatible Onkyo receiver (check the back for a multi-pinned dock labeled "Universal Port"), all you have to do is plug the cable to the receiver and insert your iPod into the dock. Press the auxiliary setting on the receiver, select your music on the iPod, and start it up. That's it. It took all of two minutes to get this device up and running. There's an adapter disc at the back of the dock that can be rotated, much like a screw, to support the back of your iPod, making it quickly adjustable to the variety of Apple iPod and iPhone sizes and thicknesses. Because my Onkyo receiver draws power even when powered "off," the dock charges my iPod, whether the receiver is on or off, whether I'm playing music or not.
Since the dock feeds through the "aux" channel, it's never going to feed video to your television through your iPod. It's purely an audio channel. And the quality of the sound is dependent on factors outside of the dock itself: compression, speaker quality, receiver, etc. On my system, the music sounds great, although the compression is much more obvious than on my computer speakers, primarily because my home theater quality is much better, so it picks up those differences.
The drawbacks on the Universal Dock are related to its simplicity. You cannot see the artist or song title except if you look at the iPod because it conveys nothing but audio to the receiver. And the price seems a little high for a device that's nothing more than a black plastic base, a dock, and a cable. However, I wanted to be able to play my iPod through my speaker system, and this device allows it, without frills or complicated set up. For that reason alone, I'm delighted to own this.
