Review of the strange device: Denon ASD-3W - wi-fi dock for iPod / iPhone
I really like all sorts of accessories, and if it’s about the iPod / iPhone, it's hard to resist. In Samara, the range is not very wide, and the demand is rather low, so there is a chance to wait for the sale. In one large electronics store, Wi-Fi iPod docking station from Denon has been selling for a long time. So I bought it.
The device comes in a rather nice box, in which many of its features are praised in different languages.

Included: dock itself, three nozzles for different iPods, power supply, wire (tulips, s-video, mini-jack), antenna, remote control, instruction manual.
Unpacked. Inside the dock there is a pocket for the remote - very convenient, considering that this is already the seventh remote in the room.
The iPhone fits perfectly in place of the iPod Classic. True, he cursed that the device was not designed to work with him and suggested to go to Flight Mode. I refused.
Back side. From left to right: power connector, ethernet, minijack with control, stereo output, s-video output. I wonder what kind of control is this? I assume that the dock can be connected to the denon receiver and they can somehow send commands to each other. But I can not check, as I have no denon receiver.
Doc displays all the information on the TV. It was pretty easy for me to connect it to my home wireless network. Then I downloaded and updated the firmware of the device. The interface is very ascetic and not very convenient. For some reason, it shows only in 4: 3 format, how to switch to widescreen mode - I did not understand. (not sure if this is possible at all)
So, for example, looks like listening to the radio station Echo of Moscow. The administrators of the radio station were too lazy to score tags, and the interface of the dock does not shine with information. But it works.
So, we will round out. The device is rather strange and not a fact that is very necessary to me and useful. But let it be. Again - inexpensive!
Pros:
# High sound quality when listening to music from iPod / iPhone
# Good sound from internet radio. This surprised me the most.
# Works with wi-fi. I am always very happy if you can refuse the wires.
# Cute design.
Minuses:
# Not very user-friendly interface and not very clear remote
# iPhone sometimes makes a tip. It is clear that the problem is not in the device, but still not very pleasant.
# Incompatibility with poppies. This is very strange and wrong.
# I do not have a denon receiver and I can not get the full functionality of the device.
- Charge your iPod / iPhone (most importantly!)
- Listening to internet radio via wi-fi (there are a lot of Russian radio stations)
- Play music and video from iPod / iPhone (shows Russian letters and disc covers)
- Able to be friends with a computer with Windows Media Player via DLNA (can not be friends with a poppy)
