This dock works with iPod but not iPhone. But it makes for great music from my SONY ES amplifier.
Great with Sony Theater September 8, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have the Sony SA-WCT100 Theater system. This is the best way to connect your I-POD to this system. It is very easy to do.
Okay, but nothing too speacial August 20, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this and have had it for a while now.
It works; does what it is supposed to. It's just nothing special. Prior to owning this, I just had RCA cords that had an adaptor that plugged into my iPod. That set up worked fine.
With this item, the iPod charges, which is cool. Through a semi-complicated set up, I can get the video to work on the TV. Controlling the iPod through the receiver works, but the functionality of this gets frustrating. Not all of the normal iPod categories are there (notably, Podcasts). Also, when you have a couple hundred artists, scrolling to the one you want is a pain. It will start by scrolling slowly, and then go lightning fast until you are way past what you are looking for. Oh, and the menu is just plain ugly.
You can not watch video when using the receiver to control it. You can switch this function off, and then it will work. But, then you're basically paying $75 or more for an iPod charger and a video cord (not included).
So, all in all, the thing works. I can't say I would spend the money to buy it again.
It looks nice, though.
Perfect iPod Control June 15, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've owned the DMPort for the Sony HT-CT-100 soundbar system for about 3 weeks. It arrived in a well-packaged box system. Connection to the Sony soundbar system was intuitive and simple. My iPod began charging as soon as it was connected to the DMPort. The remote control for the HT-CT-100 soundbar system controls the iPod perfectly. The only limitation is the remote does not provide a a visual display that repeats the digital menu screen on the iPod so I must be within visual range of the iPod to select playlists, shuffle, etc. Not a big issue for me.
Worked as expected! Great little product! April 11, 2008 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I got this item to connect my 16GB iTouch with my new Sony HTCT100 Sound Bar with Sub-Woofer - Black. Simple to use, took less than 5 minutes to hook up. I especially like the fact that I can use the TV screen to navigate the iTouch.
I don't think that you can use this with an iTouch to view videos or pictures in your iTouch. I do not think that it is compatible. But I did not care about that part. I just wanted to use it to listen to my music and navigate my iTouch. BTW, you will definitely need to attach the included RCA cable to be able to view it in your TV. Also, the product description states that it comes with a remote control, but the one Amazon sent me did not. So they said they'll send me another one. But, not a problem for me though, I can use the Sony remote that came with my sound bar.
All in all, I am pretty happy with it.
