About the RI Dock

With the Onkyo RI Dock, you can easily play the music stored on your Apple

your Onkyo audio system and enjoy great sound, and watch iPod slideshows and videos on your TV. In addition, the onscreen display (OSD) allows you to view, navigate, and select your iPod’s contents on your TV, and with the supplied remote controller, you can control your iPod from the comfort of your sofa. You can even use your Onkyo amp’s remote controller to operate your iPod.

exclusive Onkyo control system that allows all

-capable Onkyo audio components to be turned on or off together, and your amp to turn on automatically and select the appropriate input source when playback is started on a source component. It also allows you to control your iPod with your amp’s remote controller.
