Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Denon Networking Client Dock with WiFi for iPod
Customer Review: Connectivity issues get worse; Denon needs to be up front
Summary: 3 Stars
I had a similar problem to M.Stevens as explained in his review. Mine is a little worse. This is quite annoying. I bought a brand new Denon AVR-1910 just a couple of months ago. It is not one of Denon's top-shelf AVRs, but it is current and up-to-date. This AVR has connections for ipod docks in the back, including a Dock Control connection which helps your ipod dock communicate in a user-friendly way with the AVR. What better idea than to get the new Denon ipod dock 51W to go perfectly with your new Denon AVR? The big advance of the 51W is that it has a digital audio output. Snazzy!
However, here is the issue. With my AVR, and M.Stevens', you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you use the digital audio connection, you cannot use the ipod dock control wire. You have to use your ipod as though it is just some other component. Now, here's where it gets worse.
With my AVR-1910, as opposed to M.Stevens, not only do I lose the ipod dock control, but I lose the video signal all together! That's right. If I want a digital output from my ipod dock, then I have to disconnect the ipod dock control wire, no big deal. BUT in my AVR-1910, the S-Video input is ONLY associated with the ipod dock control. Therefore, my S-video wire is never recognized, and the video is lost. So what, do I need video? Well, it's not just that it is a nice menu to look at. Without the video, I am unable to access the menus that connect to internet radio and in-home network.
In other words, the digital output is virtually useless with my AVR. I can simply go back to analog and get full functionality. If your AVR is higher-end than mine, you may very well have NO PROBLEM, in which case you will have a very nice ipod dock which could warrant a very high review. However, MAKE SURE WITH DENON first!
I guess I will try to find a way to convert the S-video signal to HDMI or component and go straight into my TV. That might solve my problem.
The annoying thing is that my AVR is brand new. It is not some previous-generation unit. The new dock should go with a new AVR. Or at LEAST, Denon should make it clear that the digital output is only compatible with certain model AVRS.
