No support for video nor for iPod menu browsing,

This review is from: Sony Digital Media Port Cradle for iPod and MP3 Players (Black, TDM-iP10) (Electronics)
This product is fine as an audio product that can send your iPod music through a DMPORT on your receiver, however, it does not function as advertised. Both Sony and Amazon claim on their web sites that you can browse your iPod onscreen with this device. After failing in my attempts to accomplish this, I contacted Sony support and they now insist that this product actually CANNOT do this. Instead they said I must purchase the TDM-iP1 for this functionality. I am in the process of trying to get a refund and then purchase the other Sony product. If you don't care about browsing the iPod menu on your TV then this product is fine for your purely audio needs.
Addendum:
I have subsequently seen on CNET a somewhat unfavorable review for Sony's other DMPORT iPod cradle (TDM-iP1), so I'm going to stick with my TDM-iP10. If you can accept that it does not have the advertised capability to browse your iPod on your TV, it is otherwise a very useful product. It allows me to use my...Read more

A must for Ipod owners with Sony Receivers,

I recently did a sound system upgrade with a Sony STR-DG720 7.1 reciever. It has a proprietary DOXport plug versus a USB 2.0 Which I would have preferred. However, the TDM-iP10 comes with 6 different adapter plates for ALL ipod designs, past and present. The most intersting feature of this unit is that once you plug your ipod in, you can use your reciever's remote control to select, skip, pause, play on your ipod without touching it. Also, a digital signal is going from the ipod bottom plug so the signal is more clear versus using the head phone top jack. This is a must for anyone that has a Sony receiever and an ipod!

iPod Cradle,

This review is from: Sony Digital Media Port Cradle for iPod and MP3 Players (Black, TDM-iP10) (Electronics)
I've had it for a few weeks now and I'm very happy with it. It works very well with my Sony HT-SS2300 Home Theater System and I can use the remote control to scroll thru my music on my iPod. You can't see the iPod menu on the T.V screen but I have seen some other models that do and I was not impressed, the menus looked old and out dated as if you were looking at an Atari system from the 80's. So if you just want to listen to music from your iPod it is worth it to buy this Cradle.
