Yamaha YAS-71BL compatible with older ipods? Will the ipod docking station in the Yamaha YAS-71BL be compatible with my older ipod?

I have used a classic and a 5th generation. The manual lists that track wheels ipods will work. There are also adapters included. I can't get the sound bar display to show any info from ipod though.

I'm pretty sure it is. The Apple interface is basically the same for just about all iPods (excluding the Shuffle), otherwise the Apple Universal Dock wouldn't work.

Chris, it's compatible with the old classic iPod, but you can try using just the old cable connection on the iPod with a USB connection on the other end. I found out just the charger cable with USB connection allows the music to work perfect on an Onkyo, (compatible ) receiver. Chris, if the new classic 160gb has a lightning connection on it, just try the new connection cable from iPod to USB port and see what happen, FIRST. Then, go from there. Hope things work out.

The users manual states that this system is compatible with the iPod touch 1st & 2nd gen models. I tried it with my 4 gen model and it does not work. Too bad because the system sounds wonderful. Anybody else have this issue?

The unit works better with an older iPods with the wide multi-pin connectors than with the new narrow connectors. With the new iPods you have to get a converter (~$25) and some features will not work properly.

Hi, this Sony Personal Audio Docking System uses 30-pin connecter and is compatible with iPod touch (1st-4th gen), iPod nano (2nd-6th gen), iPod video, iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4 and 4S. Using an adaptor (30 pin to 8 pin) is not guarantee to work on this device. -Ely

unless there is a cable that can attach it to the docking station - I'd say no. The depression in the docking station can accomodate iphones, nano and ipods. Newer versions may have the capacity to hook up to an ipad - but not this one

Just wanted to let you now, I have a YSP4000 sound projector and a YDS-11 ipod dock. They work perfectly together, no issues.

I wouldn't know because I did not buy item. Somehow my review of the ipod 160 gigabyte 7th generation got put in the reviews of the switch-easy. The only dock system I use is for my Kicker speaker system and am sorry I can't help

yes. you can plug any mp3 player, iPad, iPod, and iPhone into it if you have a headphone plug on the device. It's not a docking station. There's a short cord (~6" I think...I'm not measuring it right now) that comes out of the base that you plug into your device.

As per a Yamaha service technician - this product is NOT compatible with the Ipod 5th Generation - I wish Amazon would have included this info.

Yes the dock is a 30 pin apple dock for IPods and IPads. I used my gen1 IPod touch, gen1 IPad, and a 60GB IPod on it and all three worked perfectly. I have Android phones as well and prefer using the Bluetooth function over plugging in a 3.5mm cable. The Bluetooth works very well (my phone/IPad are 15 feet from the unit with no loss or static) which is why I chose the Bluetooth version over the standard version.

The one I have is a couple of years old and does not include an adapter that allows me to play anything with the new smaller cord...like the Iphone 5. (Not sure if the 5 was out yet.) I did just purchase an adapter that should allow me to play these things but I have not yet tested it. If your Ipod uses the new cord and has the smaller docking port, be sure you confirm if Pyle has upgraded their technology.

You should be fine with the 30-pin adapter they are now selling. The 30-pin on the HK has enough movement to allow you to dock the iPod with the adapter connected...

This speaker is compatible with all ipod's that have the 30 pin connector. (Except the ipod shuffle, which it doesn't sound like is your concern anyway...) If you were get a newer ipod that has the lightning dock, you're going to have to connect it through the aux (auxiliary) port which won't charge your ipod like the 30 pin connector will. This is actually a pretty good sounding speaker. It runs on plug in AND battery power which is good. It's a pretty nice consideration if you're looking for an inexpensive ipod dock and if you're able to find one on the Amazon Warehouse Deals, you can usually save yourself a few bucks. (That's how I got mine.)

it does not have an ipod docking station but it will allow you to play ipod through a cable that plugs form the ipod headphone input to the front of the unit. (cable not included)

If it has Bluetooth capabilities them I don't see why it wouldn't work. But I've never tried it with an old iPod.
