The good: The Sony TDM-IP1 iPod Dock Adapter has an onscreen display that's easy to use; provides best possible iPod sound quality through Digital Media Port connection; and charges iPods while connected to the receiver.
The bad: Only works with compatible Sony audio products; needs separate video input in order to view display, video and photos; video and photo viewing can't be controlled remotely; expensive for what it is.
The bottom line: Owners of compatible Sony receivers and home theater systems will find the TDM-IP1 to be a step up from the run-of-the-mill iPod dock, but its poor video implementation and $100 price tag opens the door to a variety of compelling alternatives.

Pros: Great sounding audio on my HT-IS100 sound system. This device came in the box with the Sony system I got for $300 dallors.
Cons: Cant control video with remote.
Summary: Its is a nice assersory if you have an ipod. I wouldnt have one if it didnt come with the sound system. But I am glad it did.

A Total Waste!!!!

Pros: Will likely match your Sony receiver/home theater system.
Cons: Doesn't work with the iPod Touch or iPhone.

Summary: Once again, Sony has created some proprietary B.S and failed to make it compatible with prevailing popular technology--still stuck on the stupid idea they can convince people to adopt platforms that have limited complementary products because Sony doesn't like to license or share. With the Apple phasing out it hard drive iPod in favor of the flash drive Touch and new Nano, you might as well just toss the TDM-IP1 that comes with your system in the trash or face having a useless dust collector sitting on top of your system.
When will Sony realize that they should focus on winning market share by creating well-designed products, and give up the pipe dream of dominating the electronics market by controlling everything.
