Nothing specifically for an Ipod. Some audio receivers have Ipod dock accessories that control Ipods. If you had that dock, you should be able to then control an Ipod with this remote.

You control the volume with your iPod. There is no volume control on the speaker. You also can't play the speaker through the USB connection while it is charging.

I find it interesting that this discussion was created in the first place. My initial confusion was that the product page seemed to be pushing for people to buy the iPod to use with this, but the item title specifically says FOR THE SANSA FUSE. I guess someone asked Amazon to change the item title and Amazon agreed? Not sure, but I originally dismissed all the iPod references on the item page as product placement or whatever you call that...

I use an audio Y cable attached between the Video 1 audio inputs and the iPod. Select video 1 on the A/V receiver and it routes your iPod sound through the system. Of course you can't control anything but volume with your remote. I guess they want you to buy an IPod dock that plugs into the DM port if you want to get on-screen control of all of the iPod features but if you just want to put your iPod on shuffle and listen the single cable in video 1 works well.

When they show the picture of Sony CD Radio Cassette Recorder you see something attach in the front and we think is a remote control, but it's not. It is an I-POD. They are just showing that you can attach your I-POD to the radio cassette recorder. I hope this help others.

I have an Alpine CDE-103BT and a 120 gig ipod. I have installed everything and it only plays through my front speakers and I cannot control the volume, bass and treble. I have the plug to play the ipod through the stereo but controls are limited and I would much rather use this unit (Harmon/Kardon DP 1US). Please help me if you can. I have the joystick and the display already mounted. For that matter, I have the brain mounted to. Like I said, it works, but only with limited controls which defeats the purpose.

It has an Ipod choice. I think it might be in the set up. I haven't been able to figure that part out though.

I don't have an ipod, but I was able to connect my mp3 player to the TV, select "Viera Tools" or "SD/USB" on the remote, and the TV screen displayed a folder menu of the mp3's contents. The remote is then used to select the files or folders you want to play on the TV. The TV didn't recognize my camera or smart phone as a mass storage device, but that might require additional steps or something else I'm not doing. Since I'll probably never use the TV that way I regret I'm not motivated to investigate. The Viera user manual is available online at the Panasonic website and should have any information you need.

Thanks!! You answered the specific question I had in mind: downloads from limewire. Its one of the main reasons I was hestitating on the ipod. I wasn't sure how restrictive it was (like, can you only upload things onto it from itunes, etc.) But now I know. THANKS!!!

Yes it has a remote control and it has an mp3 audio connection to plug in your iPod through the headphone jack. The car battery is located under the seat and it is rechargeable. Great battery life and remote has long range. Good product great price. Totally worth it!

That is up to you. It works both ways. I like using my iPod Classic to control music. When using the stereo, you are limited on searching for music. I have to say the USB port works very well. I love it. Sometimes just load up a USB memory stick plug it in and enjoy the sounds.

I have never owned an Ipod. I am looking for the best version that is specifically for music. I do not want a lot of bells and whistles, I want good sound and to know up front that it is fairly simple to load or download music. Does anyone have a preference for what version I should go for? No:Photos/games/other stuff.. just music.thanks.

I purchased it as a gift and playing his iPod was his main focus. All I remember him asking me was was there a piece missing...he called the customer service number from the manufacture and was told he had to buy a separate adapter to use his iPod. But, he loves the product. If you Contact pioneer and give them the product number they can Answer any questions you have about any of their products as long as you have the product name n number. Good luck!

I know nothing about ipods. Ask 4 help at an electronics store. There is a doc on the Sharp 240 & control options on the remote.

I got this as a gift for someone else, so I'm not completely sure. DAC= Digital Audio Converter? The outputs on there are called RCA outputs I think. I was able to connect it to a home theater system. This was a pretty good remote. It had the song listings on the remote's LCD screen. It had awesome range. One could be upstairs and controll it through several walls. I got this for my parents, and I think they plug the iPod into their BluRay player now and control it with another remote. This Phillips remote was really awesome....back in its day(2007?)!
