 Broke! March 9, 2010
Richard B. Middleton
I wish I could have had a chance to actually use the thing. I plugged it in, got audio out of my stereo. Tried to get video, and it was no go. Took the Zune out, checked the tv output selection, and then reseated the Zune into the dock. Now there is no video OR audio out, and the remote doesn't even work anymore. I live overseas, and bought this in the states when visiting family. I am going to try to get the cheaper syncing dock station. After all, I already have the cables, and I already have a USB power connection. Maybe after I get one, I will come update this review.
A few minor issues, but pretty cool overall. March 2, 2010
B. Kelly (San Diego, CA)
I have been using the Zune A/V dock with my Zune HD at least 3 times a week since I got it a month or two ago. Due to the fact that we have a TVs in both the bedroom and the living room, the simplicity of moving the dock between the two rooms has been much appreciated. Its takes all of about 2 minutes to switch TVs, and that includes the time walking from room to room. Up until now I had simply been connecting my laptop to the TV with an S-video and audio output cables, rendering my not quite new laptop useless for the duration of the viewing. Now I have my laptop back and a remote that allows me to start the next episode from the comfort of my sofa. Navigating with the remote is easy and the interface is almost exactly like on the Zune itself. Picture quality is just fine for our liking, but I am no expert in that respect. Also, it works with both standard def. and HD TVs, as long as the SD TV has a RCA inputs. HD uses an HDMI cable of course.
Now for the gripes:
For some reason, you have to completely power off the Zune before you place it in the dock. I realize this is an issue with the Zune, not the dock, but it still seems relevant. I had a couple days of frustration before I found the solution in some Zune forum. I would imagine this will be eventually be fixed in a software update at some point. It is not really a big deal, but it is kind of annoying.
The other issue is the price. It just seems a little high. Don't get me wrong, the dock does what it is supposed to and does it well for the most part. It just seems a bit high to me.
Overall, I am very happy with it and can't honestly say I wouldn't buy it all over again knowing what I know now. In fact, the A/V output capability of the Zune HD has resulted in it being used almost exclusively in the house, as opposed to the car for which it was originally purchased.
 Must buy if you are interested in using Zune as your ultimate media player February 16, 2010

First up, there is nothing great about the price it sells for. But the output is comparable to what you see on the zune itself. Must buy if you have a Zune HD. Especially with the Zune based UI becoming the prominent one on the Win7 mobiles, this takes importance not felt before. I hope more manufacturers come out with stuff like what is available for the iPhone/Pod series.
The sound output was very decent. 4.5/5 but can't do that on Amazon.

Product worked as planned and only wish it had an option for composite and HDMI (My receiver is only composite.) Will look around on eBay or elsewhere to see if I can find an adaptor for the home theater. It worked well on my PC monitor with integrated speakers (Via HDMI). Remote is also user friendly and worked with a good distance across a long room.
Zune HD AV Dock suffers from bizarre engineering decision. January 30, 2010

My hope for this product was that it would be at least as functional and easy to use as the previous generation Zune AV Dock was. Unfortunately due to an engineering decision made by Microsoft during the design of the Zune HD Docks software, unless you are using a Monitor with your Zune HD, your ability to control the Zune with the remote seems to be limited to Pause/Play, Next Track/Previous Track, and very little else. After checking out the newsgroups it seems many are aware of(and not happy about) this limitation. I am hoping a firmware update at some point will address this bizarre shortcoming.
