There are several iPod docking stations on the market, but few are as convenient as the YDS-10, which is custom designed to work with Yamaha's HTR-5960, HTR-5950, RX-V659, and RX-V559 home theater receivers. Connection is easy--simply plug the dock into the Yamaha receiver's rear-panel port. Once connected, the dock not only charges your iPod and plays your favorite playlists through the receiver's stereo or surround speakers, but it also shows iPod images and movies through an attached monitor. It's the perfect setup for people who regularly download TV shows from iTunes but want to watch them on a big TV. The rest of the time, you can rock out to all your favorite songs with style.
Great for sound, video may not work

Summary
This dock is great for sound. You can use your Yamaha remote to navigate an iPod's audio menus from your tv, provided it's hooked up to your receiver. The text is inelegant. The real downside is that video doesn't work for me or many others who...
Strength
Good control of the audio using the TV set's display and the Yamaha remote.
Weakness
Video didn't work.
Navigating lists of 400 artists using remote's buttons is nearly unworkable.
