Product Description
Video Compatibility, Greater Control and a Heftier, More Detailed Sound for Your iPod
The next-generation Remote Interactive Dock for the iPod, the DS-A1X, brings the iPod even closer to Onkyo’s world. With the ability to accommodate video files alongside audio, the DS-A1X brings out the full potential of the latest iPod models, while delivering famed Onkyo sound quality. Through an on-screen display function that enables you to view music track lists, the RI Dock ensures easy navigation of your music via its dedicated remote control. The cradle-shaped DS-A1X, with its easy-matching black exterior, neatly supports the iPod and recharges it as long as the Dock remains connected to an AC power supply. It also offers a wide choice of integrated functions when connected through an Onkyo component’s Remote Interactive (RI) terminal.

Charge Your iPod Battery While You Enjoy Your Music
The DS-A1X has an AC adaptor on the rear that needs to be plugged in when you play back your music. When your iPod is in the RI Dock, your iPod’s battery will charge whenever the Dock is connected to its power source. While you’re enjoying the iPod’s music in the comfort of your own home, you’re also fully charging your iPod for when you’re on the move.
Added Functionality Through the Remote Interactive (RI) Function
With the first RI Dock model, if you wanted to control basic iPod functions, such as Play, Pause, Next Song and Previous Song, you had to connect the dock through the RI terminal on an Onkyo component. With the DS-A1X, this is no longer necessary. What’s more, you now have extra options available through the RI function. For example, with the System On/System Off function, the powering on/off of your system will also power on/off the DS-A1X and iPod. Likewise with the Auto Power On function: By pressing your remote controller’s play button while your system is in Standby mode, the system will automatically turn on and select your iPod as the input source. The Auto Selector (Direct Change) function will automatically select your iPod as the input source if you start iPod playback while listening to another input source. And with the iPod’s Timer function, you can power on and start playback at a specified time.
Watch Your iPod’s Video Content and Share Your Digital Photos
You can enjoy video playback via the DS-A1X’s composite video output. Also, you can view your photos as a slide show over the larger display of your TV—a far more enjoyable experience than viewing your photos on a cramped computer display. While reliving the images in your slide show, you can also play music through your Onkyo system.
