Manufacturer's Description
The next-generation Remote Interactive Dock for the iPod, the DS-A2, brings the iPod even closer to Onkyo's world. Through the composite video output, your iPod video content can be displayed, along with all your track lists, just like you'd expect from the iPod itself. And with the DS-A2's remote control, "hands-free" iPod control takes on a whole new meaning.
