“The HomeDock Deluxe adds a new twist to the iPod by displaying music content onto a television screen and allowing users to navigate, select and play their songs using an included remote control,” says DLO. “Browsing through Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres and more from the sofa with the HomeDock Deluxe is a completely new experience for iPod owners. Users can control over 14 playback functions with the remote control. The HomeDock Deluxe features an original, customizable interface. Song information is large and easy to read from anywhere in the room.”

The HomeDock Deluxe connects to a home stereo and TV with standard RCA plugs and S-Video connection, and also features a USB 2.0 port for syncing with a computer. It is compatible with 4G and 5G iPods, the iPod mini and iPod nano.
