I would like to purchase an ipod dock, but don’t want to pay apple or whatnot because that is too expensive. I’m a little wary of the chinese crap on eBay for . I was wondering if any good third parties made a simple, cheap dock.

Thanks!

what is the best store (preferably not online) where I can get ipod accessories like a good silicon case for cheap? Most stores like best buy and walmart have them for around twenty bucks and that seems like a rip off to me.

I have a Koss ipod nano docking station, and the volume on the remote and on the console dont work. Ive tried everything!? HELP!

I have a new computer and I want to sync my Ipod with the music I have on my new HP Pavilion but I don’t want to lose all the music I have on my Ipod already.

Note: my old computer (where the music that is currently on my ipod is), its memory was lost, so i cant access it or the files with the songs.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

I went to a friends house once and his bro had a thing in his shower that he could plug his ipod into and listen to it.

My ipod touch keeps running out of battery, and i heard great things about the portable docks, but they all say they work for iphones, nothing about ipod touches. if you don’t know what i mean, here’s a link: http://www.sourcingmap.com/portable-power-dock-station-battery-charger-with-speaker-for-apple-iphone-p-24019.html

I got a new cover for my iPhone and now it won’t fit in the dock. THis is very frustrating because it’s my speakers and charger for my phone. How can I get it to fit without taking the cover off (It won’t come off!)?

Yamaha Brings HDMI 1.3a Support and Full HD Audio Format Capability To Latest 7.1 Channel A/V Home Theater Receivers

– High-Performance Receivers at More Affordable Prices Raise the Bar with Exclusive Cinema DSP Processing, 1080p Upscaling and iPod Connectivity; Ethernet Connection (RX-V3800) –

Yamaha Electronics Corporation, the innovator in home theater and digital audio and video reproduction, today introduced two new best-in-class 7.1 channel A/V digital home theater receivers, the RX-V3800 (140w x 7; ,699.95 MSRP) and the RX-V1800 (130w x 7; ,299.95 MSRP). Offering unsurpassed home theater audio and video realism, both models feature full HD audio format capability, including lossless Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound, Yamaha’s acclaimed Cinema DSP processing engine, video upscaling to 1080p, and support of the latest HDMI 1.3a specification. Both models are compatible with the Apple iPod, via an optional docking station (YDS-10), and allow playback of XM Satellite Radio’s standard and XM HD Surround content. The receivers will be on display at Yamaha’s booth (#450) throughout CEDIA Expo 2007, taking place September 5-9, 2007 in Denver, Colorado.

The RX-V3800 also features an Ethernet connection, enabling consumers to access Internet radio stations, music files stored on a PC and the company’s premier MusicCAST audio system server (MCX-2000), providing access to as many as 40,000 songs that can be stored on that system. Offering seamless integration with any sources connected by the Ethernet port, as well as with an iPod and XM Satellite Radio, the RX-V3800 enables users to navigate their content via well-designed graphical user interfaces that are optimized for display on HDTV monitors.

Both models offer full support of HD audio format signals including Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital TrueHD, HDT-HD High Resolution Audio and DTS-HD Master Audio, as well as surround sound processing with the enhanced capability of Yamaha’s exclusive Cinema DSP. Content with 5.1-channel audio is augmented by two front "presence" channels that expand the soundfield upward and outward. The RX-V3800 features 3D Cinema DSP which gives the sound field an extra vertical dimension for more realistic sound images via the two front presence speakers.

Both models support the latest HDMI standard, HDMI 1.3a, unleashing the stunning quality of 30- and 36-bit color depths. Colors are so vivid they seem to jump off the screen with perfectly smooth transitions and ultra-fine gradations. Both receivers have four HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect a variety of high-definition sources such as Blu-ray and HD-DVD players.

Analog video sources are upconverted, enabling their signal to be routed to a connected HDTV through the HDMI output cable. What’s more, both receivers harness Anchor Bay Technology’s ABT1010 chip to provide video upscaling from 480i or 480p, to resolutions up to 1080p. As a result, users have a true high-definition experience even when viewing sources such as DVDs. A 120Hz refresh rate is supported to accommodate new, reduced flicker LCD TVs. Moreover, 1080p/24Hz compatibility provides optimal performance with Blu-ray Discs and compliant displays. Auto Lip-Sync Compensation prevents sync issues sometimes associated with transmitting video and audio via HDMI.

Additional features for high quality audio performance include Yamaha’s Digital ToP-ART design which simplifies the signal path and eliminates noise sources to ensure superior audio and video performance. Activating the receivers’ Pure Direct functionality protects the signal additionally by further shortening its path, bypassing all DSP circuitry and cutting power to non-essential functions such as the front-panel display. High Current Amplification allows the amplifiers to drive all types of speakers with pure, robust sound. Also included are discrete low-noise power supplies, Burr-Brown 192kHz/24bit DACs, large arch-shaped heat sinks, low jitter PLL circuitry for SPIDF signals, and all-new, ultra-rigid vibration damping chassis design.

Both models connect easily to Apple iPods via an optional iPod docking station (Yamaha YDS-10; SRP .95). Once docked, the iPod can be operated (song selection, play, etc.) via the receivers’ remote controls. A one cable connection allows users to view the iPod’s video, pictures and operating status (song title, artist, etc.) on a television monitor. In addition, docked iPods are automatically charged so they’re always ready for a road trip. The RX-V3800 also has a front panel USB port to for quick and easy connections of other portable audio devices.

Playback of XM HD Surround from XM Satellite Radio, which delivers audio programming in full 5.1 channel surround sound (XM Ch. 76 and 113), as well as content from the company’s 160-plus standard service channels, is achieved via an optional service subscription and XM Mini Tuner. Neural Surround™ technology enhances the experience of XM HD Surround, delivering a detailed sound stage with superior 5.1 channel separation. Yamaha’s proprietary Compressed Music Enhancer technology compensates for the lost detail of audio that is compressed during the "ripping" process, recapturing the essence of the original recording.

The Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) simplifies the home theater setup process by automatically analyzing room acoustics and setting parameters for optimum sound quality at the touch of a button.

The RX-V3800 and the RX-V1800 offer flexible system configuration options, as the 7.1 channels can be used to create an immersive surround sound environment in a single room, or the seven internal power amplifiers can be allocated to a main room and up to two additional zones. The RX-V3800 offers the extra capability of outputting video to a second zone simultaneously with the main room. A dedicated zone remote and RS-232C interface allow both receivers to be easily integrated into custom installations.

does the bose ipod docking station play radio stations also?

Through the apple college rebate I recently purchased a MacBook and iPod. I sent in the details and got my rebate. Now I already have an iPod and was planning on selling the free one I received through the rebate. Problem is I don’t know if the warranty has been voided since I had to send the barcode of the item in. Do you know f the warranty is still good or not?

I’ve been looking at docks for my iPod, such as iHome, and I’ve seen a lot of reviews for them where people say that these docks are either great or they break within the first six months. Does anyone own an iPod dock with an alarm clock, and if so, do you like it?

Thanks! : )

Most stores now only sell accessories for the latest iPod models. Is there a good place in San Diego to find accessories for previous generation iPod models?
Thanks guys. I am talking about a local store where I can walk in to try out the accessories, because you never know whether they will fit well. I am in San Diego, CA.

I have a Sansa Fuze and wanted to know if the are accessories for it?

I don’t have an ipod and I have all of my music on my blackberry 8330 so I was wondering if there was like a docking station for your car for my black berry so I could play my music throughout my speakers in my car just as you could with an ipod?

Earlier I was on my jet ski, and we was rafting 3 of us actually. Anyways when I went to go the rope got under the jet ski and got sucked in. So I got off the waverunner and tryed and tryed to pull it out, it wouldn’t come out. I had to end up being towed to the nearest dock. How can I get this thing out now? Please help. I don’t want to take it to the dealer.

One button makes up the bottom of the remote, it looks like a long oval.
There is another button that is to the right within the long oval button, resembling a small indented circle.
I’ve pushed them in but I have no idea what they do. Help!

Is it possible to connect my iPod touch to my computer via WiFi and then use the bluetooth on the iPod to connect other bluetooth devices to my computer? In other words, bluetooth connects to ipod, ipod connects to computer, computer has bluetooth.

I have an ipod dock connector in my car that allows the radio to play songs from an ipod. I have a sansa, is there any way that I can play my sansa from it. Maybe by buying something that changes the dock connector to a usb connector or line in jack?

how can it be useful?what would make me buy it??

My daughter is getting an iPod for Christmas and I want to get her a car adapter kit. Can you tell me anything I need to look out for? Features? Problems? Thanks so much.

I am a music teacher and use my ipod during lessons. I’m looking for an ipod dock that’s portable, but that’s got great sound quality as it’ll have a lot of noise to compete with! The iLab iQue one I have isn’t very loud and the sound is tinny. I know that Bose make great docking stations but they’re really pricey. Any other suggestions?? Thanks.

I have a iHome right now, but I am getting a new iTouch and am wondering which is better, a Bose Sound Dock, or a Sony S-AIRPLAY? The price doesn’t matter (they are the same anyways)
Or any other suggestions?

Any pro’s or con’s to either??

Thanks,
