This retails at around $99. If you use a remote and you can't view the song tracks on the screen, so you would have to get up and walk across the room to look anyway!
The VIDEO iPOD (80gb) supports direct RCA connections thru the headphone jack for VIDEO and AUDIO. You do need to use the Apple cable for $20. Generic 3 way RCA to 8mm cables don't insert deep enough into the iPOD to get the video connection. Using Handbrake on Mac, I can then take my DVD's with me on the road with the master copies safe and sound at home. It is like a TiVo in my pocket.
Also, using the Onkyo, you give up your S-Video port.
Most TV's only have one. Also, they could have simply used the component video lead (yellow RCA) direct to the AMP, and reduced the complicated wiring.
Ah well.
