 A Must-Have October 2, 2008

Compatiblity:
With Denon receivers - I suspect that all of the later model Denon receivers are compatible with all of the Denon iPod docks. If you're in doubt, contact Denon directly (there's nothing on their website) or check the back of your Denon receiver. If it has an input receptical labeled "Dock Control", you're good to go. Also, your Denon receiver's owner's manual should contain installation/set-up instructions for the iPod dock.
non-Denon receivers - You'll need to contact Denon directly about whether your non-Denon receiver is compatible and, if so, the installation/set-up instructions.
iPods - The Denon website has a chart of compatible iPods which really only lists the newest from Apple. We have 4 iPods in our house...three 2d gen Nano's (which were introduced in Sep06) and a new 120GB classic...and all worked well with the ASD-11R.
Installation:
I have a Denon AVR-888 receiver and using the receiver's owner's manual, installation of the dock took about 5 minutes. All this amounts to is plugging a cable into the back of the dock and receiver. Everything is well-marked and color-coded.
Dock Set-up:
After the dock was installed, I plugged one of our iPods into it and using the our universal remote, turned on our AV system including the tv. Our remote has an ipod menu listed on the remote's main menu screen. I went to that menu, then to "VCR1" (the Denon dock/receiver is apparently pre-programmed for the VCR1 output) and immediately the iPod's screen lit up and the display on the receiver and the tv told me that everything was "loading". Within a couple of seconds, all the lists on the iPod (playlists, artists, videos, etc.) were displayed the tv and the receiver's display. By operating the right-left, up-down, and enter functions on the remote's "wheel", I could do everything with the remote that I could do with the iPod's controls.
Use:
The dock is a sheer joy to use. It is simple, smooth, and does everything it's advertised to do. In addition, it charges the iPod and when you turn off your tv/system, it re-sets the iPod back to the iPod's menu page. I spent alot of $ on my AV system but this dock adds a feature and funtionality that goes well beyond it's $99 price. I consider it a must-have.
This Denon ipod dock is awesome November 16, 2008

I have a Denon 4308 that is attached to this dock. After reading other people's lackluster reviews on the Denon's ipod docks, I didn't know if it would be worth getting. I'm glad that I did. I don't know if it is just that Denon got it right with the docks or the receivers, but it works great.
I love being able to to use the integrated menus on the TV to control the ipod. Other reviews for previous models talked about how slow it worked, but it works fast and great on this set up. The other reviewer has a different model and it works for him to, so I could only assume that Denon has the kinks worked out.
Another word of caution is to check the compatibility chart to make sure you can use this how you want to use this dock with your ipod (and how you want to use it) http://www.usa.denon.com/Denon_Docks_iPod_Compatibility.pdf
Very easy setup. Almost plug and play! Fast menus on your TV work great!
Excellent dock December 12, 2008

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.
Great gadget for the home theater system February 28, 2009

The Denon ASD-11R is a great little gadget for the I-pod when you want to link it up to other Denon equipment (like the AVR-888).
It took a little time to figure out the remote on the receiver, but through this docking station I now am able to control my Ipod on my media rooms suround system.
Though the price might be a little steep for some, I would say it is still worth the money.
The device came with all cables and connections where made within minute.

I had no problems with the install.
It works great. The only thing I wish was that the Denon remote let me access more of the IPod functions. Or that the dock came with it's own remote.
But it does play all the music on my IPod through my home system, and that's what I wanted.
