I’ve had a Belkin dock hooked up to my Denon receiver for years, and while I have three ways of streaming media to my home theatre, it’s easier just to plug in my iPod and let rip.

One of the things which makes a dock even better, though, is the ability to use a remote to control your iPod – which this Dexim provides.

It’s a nice-looking black dock with a rubberised finish. On the back are a HDMI Mini port and a USB port for connecting to the power supply or a Mac. An HDMI Mini-to-component set of cables is included in the box. The HD cables allow you to view your iPod videos and photos in 720i resolution.

Everything from the dock itself to the cables and connectors are very good quality, except the remote. While it does the job it’s supposed to, including access to the iPod menus, it feels light and cheap.

The Dock Station ‘Works with iPhone’, which means the dock pauses your music or movie and plays your ringtone through your speakers when a call comes through. But you have to restart your track when you’ve finished speaking. You also have to unlock the iPhone again if you want to access the Menu function.
