I had a Onkyo dock (Onkyo DS-A1 -- same as the A2), and that supported the iPhone, Touch, etc... | |

quote:Not to go off topic of the 606, but to answer your question... Not all iPods are supported by the dock. I know my iPod Classic or anything newer (Touch, iPhone, etc.) isn't compatible with the video function, only audio and on screen display. Which is all I bought it for anyway. From the side of the box, compatible iPods are: 5th generation iPod (with video) iPod Photo (with colour display) 4th Generation iPod 2nd generation iPod Nano 1st generation iPod Nano iPod Mini * 1st/2nd/3rd generation iPods are not supported. | |

quote: Yes. Get the 606 or if you're looking for something cheaper get a discounted 605 as it's exactly the same basically, but with 2 less HDMI inputs. | |

quote: Yes, all the sources will be displayed via HDMI as the 606 up-scales to 1080i So you will only need a HDMI from the Amp to TV | |

am i understanding this right, that only 1 connection is needed from amp to TV (HDMI) and all the other inputs are upscaled and sent to the tv along this cable? I.E. 360 to component on the amp then to tv via HDMI, and Freeview to s vhs on amp then to hdmi on tv. or do all the video connections need to be connected to the tv and i need to change the input on the tv and amp? | |

quote: Yep, im pretty sure the PS3 decodes the audio then sends it via HDMI as LPCM A decent HD source will make you appreciate your new purchase much more! Good choice with the 606, very highly rated piece of kit and excellent value for money :thumbs: | |

I have the 674E with Kef 5.1 speakers. I like the Onkyo stuff. My DVD upscaler and iPod dock are Onkyo too and they all work well along with my setup. | |

i have the 605 with some mission speakers and its a good setup, my brother has a cheaper package, he got a 518 i think with some onkyo speakers for 315 and this systyem is really good tbh even though it only has HDMI pass through and cant support true HD sound its a great bit of kit | |

im intrested to see what the 1080i upscaling can do, dont hold much hope of it making a nes outputted through s-video much better though lol. | |
