Reviews of the Onkyo DS-A1

CNET Review
The Good: Docking station controls iPod transport functions such as play, pause, stop, skip, and so on; iPod-inspired styling; charges your iPod's batteries; video output for photo display.
The Bad: Video output doesn't duplicate iPod controls, so you can't see menu screens at a distance; no digital audio output; compatibility limitations mean that not all control functions, such as accessing playlists, are possible with older iPods or older Onkyo electronics; doesn't work with early-generation iPods that lack a dock connector.
The Bottom Line: Onkyo's interactive iPod docking cradle makes it easy to play your iPod over your Onkyo home-theater or stereo system.
