"Not worth it" 2009-09-22

This advertised On-Screen display did not work with my brand new Onkyo 607. The product documentation is not clear what the requirements are and which models are compatible. Unless you get a real high end receiver, this product is worthless. Returned it and got Tekkeon Navdock ND2000.
"Perfect......." 2009-09-05

Recently started to upgrade the home entertainment system. Wanted to eliminate all of the cables and get better video. Added a Sony blu-ray player and Onkyo TX-SR507. That installation is easy, you simply plug in the HDMI cables. I had XM running on the sound system for my home music. Recently found Pandora, and love that it provides music and NO taking like XM has become. I was a little nervous when I saw the previous reviews on this item. But, I had the right receiver so it should work?! The installation began with me on the floor with the iPod in the Onkyo UP-A1 and the wife ready to call out instructions. I plugged the cord into the Universal Port in the receiver, turn on the iPod and pushed the receiver's 'Port' selector and the music began to playing through the system. It could not be more simple. Just make sure you have the right receiver.

Onkyo UP-A1 Dock for the iPod
I replaced my 10+ year old Onkyo AV receiver and DVD changer with these units in August, 2009. Got them all from Amazon. Was able to save $25 by getting the UP-A1 refurbished.
Amazon pricing and service was great, no surprises there.
These units all work very well together. The DVD Changer shows the most improvement over the 10+ year old model. The menus are much faster to load.
UP-A1: The receiver recognized it immediately. The Onkyo receiver remote will control the iPod, but not very well. It plays, pauses, stops, fast-forwards and rewinds music and video just fine. But (unless I'm missing something), it will not navigate back to the menus once music is playing. If it is already on a menu (say albums), then navigation with the Onkyo remote works. Once music starts playing, the up/down arrows now do nothing, and the right/left arrows shift from playlist to playlist.
At first I thought video from the UP-A1 was not going to my TV via HDMI. But I had disabled TV out on my iPod. Under settings/video on the iPod, turn on TV out (in NTSC format in the U.S.). When you play a video (again, navigating to it with the Onkyo remote has the problems described above) is the only time any video comes out from the Onkyo. It looked like you'd think an iPod resolution video would look.
One really nice feature of the UP-A1 is when you hold down FF. (Yes, you have to hold it down, which is unfortunate for the batteries in your remote.) The audio samples periodically (you hear bits and pieces of the song/video). And on a video, you get the same feature with the video. So if you FF through a newscast, for instance, you'll be able to tell from the video sampling when one story ends and the next begins (or from the audio...you get enough to catch a word here and there).
Overall, I'm happy with the performance of the UP-A1. I had been listening to my iPod on the TV (via our TiVo). That meant the TV bulb had to stay on, which is silly, and the audio quality on the Onkyo receiver is much better than the TV speakers, of course.
"No universal port!" 2009-07-22

I bought this for my husband to use with his Onkyo receiver. We had to return it because there was no universal port to hook it up.
"Onkyo Receivers 1 - Docks - 0" 2009-07-15
By M. Vanzant (Lexington, KY USA)
I was hoping to get a dock for my iPod and iPhone. I was expecting the basics of playing songs with on-screen navigation/display that was compatible with the Onkyo SR706 receiver I bought in Jan 2009. This product is the new dock for the NEW receivers with the universal port. If you don't have one of these receivers, don't buy this product, as I did. I just returned it but still am looking for a dock that does the basics of playing songs and on-screen display (without looking like 1980s DOS text).
I guess the engineers haven't caught up with the customer needs for their products as I would have thought the hardest thing in this product search would be to choose from the many 'good' products available in the market. It seems this is still too early in mid 2009 to find a dock with these features for this receiver - unless I want to buy another receiver --- (not yet!!)
