Leading music accessory manufacturer Onkyo has today confirmed the imminent availability of its newest product, the DS-A1 remote interactive dock for the Apple iPod.

This latest accessory promises to provide seamless integration of iPod audio playback and photo display with nearly all home entertainment systems, operable through the existing Onkyo remote control.

“The incredible success of the iPod has led to a revolution in the way people access their music and photos,” commented Onkyo product and marketing manager Don Milks. “And right now the entire industry is scrambling to accommodate these units in their future products.

“When we introduced the technology ten years ago, we certainly weren’t thinking of the iPod, but the extreme flexibility of the RI system made it relatively simple to adapt it to this new technology.

“The simple add-on device will let millions of consumers integrate their iPods with the Onkyo equipment they already own.”

The DS-A1 dock is compatible with third and fourth generation iPods, iPod photos, and iPod minis and is finished in iPod white to match the digital music players.

Onkyo’s latest product will begin shipping in May priced at around £50.
