I hooked up the dock to my new AVR-2309CI receiver. Easy installation, great sound but it is SO SLOW when navigating artists, songs, etc. For example if I want to go from Back in Black (AC/DC) to Thug (ZZ Top) it takes forever. I’ve found that I forget what I’m looking for before I get there. Too bad it doesn’t have a search feature or faster browse function.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my iPod is a 3G, 80GB model with over 600 CDs on it?

Excellent docking station. I hooked it up to a Denon 1909 and have had no problems. All the song info comes up on the TV and I scroll through and make selections via the TV display. The sound quality is comparable to my CD player (inputs via RCA). The graphic display is rudimentary but that is a function of the receiver not the dock.

Overall this could be a good product, but be aware that newer model iPods and iPhones will not be able to output video using the ASD-11R. See the Denon Docks iPod Compatibility Chart on the Denon website for more information.

Dock was exactly as described and it arrived very quickly. I have been looking for this item for a while and got the best price I’ve seen anywhere at Amazon.

I own an iPod Classic 120GB 5th gen unit as well as an iPod Nano 16GB 4th gen unit and the dock is connected to a Yamaha HTR-5650 receiver. This review applies for both iPod units:
PROS-
The dock charges the iPods weather they are switched on or off, you have full iPod control while they are docked (except that the volume is disabled and there is no video output from the dock), sound quality is great using the supplied RCA cables, the dock’s only video output can be connected using the supplied S-Video cable, and the docking plates that came with the iPods fit perfectly into the Denon dock (albeit they’re white and the dock is black). The 3-docking plates (black) that came with the dock were not applicable for my specific iPods.
CONS-
I was advised by Denon that the dock may not output video with the aforementioned iPod models and that is precisely my case. For me, this is not a big deal as I can live without the album artwork displayed on my TV and I watch movies on my DVD player anyway. I was also advised that because the dock has no IR eye, the “dock control” cable connection may/may not work with non-Denon receivers that accommodate the same 3.5mm jack, which my Yamaha receiver does not. This is a hit-or-miss feature for non-Denon receivers.
Overall, the ASD-11R does exactly what I want it to do: charge my iPod while it plays music on my home receiver. If that is your primary objective as well and you own a non-Denon receiver then this is the best quality dock out there to date.
