This product perfectly matches Sony home theatre and works with Ipod 5. Very reasonable price.

Reason for purchase I have several hundred songs on my iphone 3GS and wanted to listen to them using my stereo. Delivery Very quick. Received it in a well packaged and cushioned box. Installation Read the instructions first. Simply plug into the digital portable media port. Inserted iphone into the device and it worked. The instructions were simple and easy to understand. Using the device Playback of my music was very straightforward. The menu is accessed via the TV, using the TV remote to navigate and select the playback feature that I wanted. I was even able to watch my movies on my LED flat screen TV movies stored on my iphone. I have used it at least 10 times in the past 2-weeks and it has worked flawlessly. Overall The cost was a great bargain. Shipping was very quick to Hawaii, tracking was provided. Item was packaged very well to prevent damage. Item work right out of the box and has performed flawlessly. For me, it was a great buy from a great vendor.

Great communication from Vanns from the moment I completed the online transaction. Email with tracking followed. Item was easy to install and works great with my iPhone4 as an iPod. Gives me great digital stereo sound with my new Sony receiver. A Home Run!

Unfortunately this interface did not gain much popularity, but works well with Sony products. It connects nicely and easily with my ipod touch first generation. I was not aware that it makes it possible to watch videos stored in the ipod on the TV connected to the HTIB, so I was pleasantly surprised. I am not sure the Shuffle function exists from the TV interface, but it may be that I have just not found it yet. All in all, it is a good product for what it was designed to do.

Great product, works well with Sony Amplifier and was very easy to setup. The ability to use the TV sceen instead of the Ipod as the menu screen is a great plus.
Nothing less than expected from a Sony product and at a great price from Vanns.
First time using Vanns and Im impressed with turnaround time getting the item shipped.

Also had a very good experience purchacing this item through Vanns, quick delivery and great customer service.

After getting an iPhone last summer when the 3GS came out I learned that Sony made this interface. Having a complete Sony 7.1 surround sound system I thought this was a must have. Hook-up through the DMPort is as simple as plugging it in and there is a second hook-up for video, which I plug directly into the TV. Control is accomplished with the Sony receiver remote. Sound and picture quality is very good. The only complaint I have is with the on-screen graphics. Its like what you used to see on computers twenty years ago! If Sony can design something as good as PS3 I fail to see why they could not have done a better job with this device, although that would probably drive the price up. Gave the item a 4 for performance for this reason alone.
I could have gotten this item at my local Sony store for $100 plus tax. Getting it through Vanns, I paid $80, with no tax and free shipping. By the way, Vanns service was excellent. They keep you well informed with your on-line purchase.
