The DLO 009-9765 HomeDock Deluxe for iPod is the world's first iPod dock that lets you view and select your iPod's music on your TV screen, allowing you to navigate, select and play your songs using the included 18-button remote control. The HomeDock Deluxe will change the way you experience your iPod, your music, and now your iTunes Movies, letting you browse through Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres and more, even watching movies on your big screen at DVD resolutions, all from the comfort of your sofa.DLO's 009-9765 displays your iPod's music content on a beautifully designed HomeDock TV interface that's as clear and cool as the iPod itself. You can even customize colors, choosing from four different color themes including Aqua, Forest, Teal or Metal to match the decor of any room in your house. You can also choose from several screen savers, such as a Status Bar screen saver that shows your iPod's current status, song and album information on a moving graphic billboard. The HomeDock Deluxe's intuitive remote control lets you navigate with ease through your songs and playlists to select just the right tunes for any occasion, letting you control 14 various iPod functions. The HomeDock displays the currently playing song info and progress at the top of your screen while letting you select another song from the listings below, with names and titles that are large and easy to read from anywhere in the room.
In taking the entertainment out of your pocket and putting it on the big screen, the HomeDock Deluxe offers two distinct modes: On-Screen Navigation Mode for music interface on your TV, and iPod Mode to play videos or photo slideshows on your TV directly from the iPod. You can quickly switch modes with the push of a button to watch and control videos and photo slideshows from your iPod, or browse and play music with on-screen navigation. This unit connects to your home entertainment system or stereo via standard RCA plugs, so you don't have to worry about any adapters or Y-cables. Your iPod's music is sent to your stereo through the superior audio line-out from the bottom of the iPod, which provides for a much higher-quality audio signal than if you simply plugged your iPod into your stereo with a Y-cable from the headphone jack. With no adapters, and no loose cables, all you have to deal with is great sounding iPod music coming through your existing home stereo.
The DLO 009-9765 HomeDock Deluxe works with all dockable, click wheel iPods including the: iPod Nano (1st and 2nd generation), iPod Video, iPod Color, 4G iPod and iPod mini models. Your iPod can connect to your large-screen TV via a standard A/V connection, or through S-Video, allowing you to not just watch movies, but view picture slideshows with music. The HomeDock Deluxe fully powers and charges your iPod while in use, and comes with all the necessary cables to get going right out of the box, including an AC power adapter and an A/V cable. The low-profile HomeDock Deluxe comes in black to match both your iPod and home decor, measures 5.75 x 1 x 3.75 inches (W x H x D), and it's backed by a manufacturer's 90-day warranty.

We bought this brand new a year ago and used it very little. The remote broke over the Christmas season, so I emailed customer service. They said no parts, including remote, are available, which makes the whole system unusable. You have to have a remote to turn it on and off - no power button on the unit. I bought new batteries, thinking it was just a dead battery, but no, the remote died. $150 about a year ago and completely unuseable system today, which no option to replace the remote.

I've owned this unit for about 6 months. I had the previous version of the HomeDock and had bad luck with it also. Bought this hoping they had ironed out the bugs and now I just feel twice as stupid. Slow response time, menu buttons often don't work and now I can't get it to come on at all. I have a friend who owns one and his is junk as well. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of DLO for this type of product.

Don't buy this product ! Not only is the hardware quality poor, the on-screen menus reminiscent of 80's DOS applications, but it also fries iPods. Yes my perfectly functioning iPod worked for awhile with the Home Dock, and now - nothing !
By M Nolan (California)
I wanted this product to use in my motorhome, and initially I loved it. It showed my music on the tv, with a nice display. The remote worked fine too. Then, I lost the left channel. After several calls and emails, I find out they have no way of doing any repair. So it worked fine, once, then its a doorstop. Too bad, it could have been great, but I am afraid to buy another one with the poor support.

This product worked great for me... until it stopped working. I can't comment on how well the video works, as I only used this product to listen to my music connected to my stereo. In this regard, I liked the dock very much. Until a few weeks ago when the remote stopped working.
So I purchased another remote, and that one didn't work either, which meant that the problem was with the dock itself. Mind you, it still works, just not with any remote.
It was only used for a few months, and sparingly. It hasn't been damaged, moved, left to extreme heat or cold, and it hasn't been abused or misused in any fashion. And, of course, it stopped working after its paper-thin warranty had expired.
I say, find something else to play your iPod. And make sure it's not DLO brand.
