Works as advertised December 31, 2008
Unit interfaced with our new Yamaha amp just fine. Complete onscreen audio selection with playlists from ipod. Was hoping we might get the video menu for pictures or videos, but that feature doesn't seem to be there. Don't know if its a limitation on the 250G ipod or the amp. The use of the ipod and dock is much easier than the cassette/or CD player options.
Right Price; Does the Job December 20, 2008
Rather than spend twice the amount to buy this iPod dock from the box store where we purchased our home theatre component system, we did the research & purchased the identical product here. Fits our classic iPod perfectly, although we need to remove the protective sleeve for the unit to make contact, and adds the right (one cable connecting to the rear of the amp, not a power cord & an output cable into the front) type of connection to our Yamaha 663 amplifier.
It does the job, and the price/delivery were right. What more needs to be said?
 Audio works, but menus have issues! December 19, 2008
The audio works great, but here are the gotchas!
- The features that work only with the ipod scroll wheel (like selecting rating) do NOT work. You can browse through songs, go up or down, but the ratings menu does not work. It was a big disappointment for me since I usually select a single star for the bad songs for deleting later on iTunes
- While inserting and removing ipod from the dock, one needs to be very careful since the pins are very flimsy
Yamaha YDS-11SL Universal iPod Dock December 1, 2008
The dock is solid and well-built and is necessary for Yamaha receivers. All of these iPod products are overpriced for what you get but you're locked in once you buy the idea. Works fine though.
Better than expected, but not excellent! November 24, 2008
Recently purchased the Yamaha YDS-11SL iPod dock for my new home theatre (I have a new Yamaha 663, Sony 46" LCD and Sony 350 Blue-ray player). It was easy to hook up to the receiver and the music sounds great. The menu structure takes a few minutes to get used to (no instructions, but rather intuitive). I had my Harmony remote preset for this iPod dock when the Geek squad installed my home theatre. Surprise... everything works as expected.. However, I would prefer the iPod song menu and playlists to be visible on the TV, which is not the case. I have a closed Cabinet (hence the Harmony remote), and now have to open the doors to see what I want to play. Yamaha could have done this better!
