Onkyo, iPod Link Forged
UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J. — Onkyo plans midyear availability of an iPod docking station that connects with most Onkyo receivers and home theater systems produced in the past 10 years.
The recharging/docking station connects to the products' remote interactive (RI) port, which connects to other manufacturers' A/V products to allow for automatic start-up and the integrated operation of separate components.
The company couldn't say whether the iPod's user interface would appear on a connected TV screen.
