Japanese manufacturer Onkyo has developed an RI (remote interactive) dock that interfaces Apple's iPod with Onkyo receivers and AV systems.
The dock features Onkyo's RI functionality, and it can be used as a mini stand to recharge the iPod. A remote controller can also be used to operate the iPod interactively via an interface between the iPod and an RI-equipped Onkyo system. The dock also offers additional operability, significantly improving the user's control of the entire integrated system.
Also, remote interactivity enables the integrated start-up of separate components, as well as offering a direct change function that automatically switches the input to the amplifier section (of the receiver or audio system) during playback. The RI dock provides compatibility between specified iPod models and many of the Onkyo products produced over the past ten years.
The RI dock is scheduled for release in the summer. For more information on Onkyo, visit www.onkyo.co.uk
