Zune Home AV Pack v2

Zune Home AV Pack v2 is GREAT works with our Zunes the 30gb and 8gb flash work with no issues at all, have one in the kitchen now with set of speakers --you can use a set of cheap speakers that have the small headphone plug and plug them into the AV jack and play over them also- it does NOT HAVE TO ONLY BE USED WITH THE INCLUDED AV WIRES WITH THE RCA PLUGS THAT CAN BE CONNECTED TO A TV OR STEREO -- This dock is great because you just set your Zune in and it charges up and it LETS YOU PLAY YOUR MEDIA AT THE SAME TIME AS IT IS BEING CHARGED WHEN YOU USE THE INCLUDED AC ADAPTER unlike while it is connected to a computer which this dock does also if you want to for ease of syncing. The cord from the dock is proprietary to the dock with USB on the other end and is about 54 inches long -- for those that do not know what that means the cord is attached, hard wired to the dock -- . YES the battery in the remote was dead as others complained about but so what? I buy ENERGIZER CR2032 batteries by the HUNDRED PACK for around thirty bucks or less, so it cost me another .30 for a battery - LEARN WHERE TO BUY THEM. I really can't understand other reviews here complaining about buying a BATTERY and holding it against the item because of their ignorance for where to buy the batteries at? ? at around 90 bucks OFF these people complain about a BATTERY even if it cost 5 bucks? As for our Zune HD: this dock is great for charging your Zune HD - not all the remote functions work while in the dock though. our Zune HD will play music, the remote changes songs forward and backwards in playlist and the remote will adjust volume BUT THE REMOTE WILL NOT ACCESS MAIN MENU ON OUR HD these functions will have to be done on the Zune itself using the buttons on the Zune, a bit of a pain but not a deal breaker for SURE, basically set your Zune to play and then you can use the remote to change songs and adjust volume. I have not tried the HD for pictures yet but I assume - uh oh we know what that means - it will be the same We love our docks even with the shortcomings, all of our Zunes plug in EASILY- standing on display. The remote even works from the next room. Even though this dock does not fully support the ZuneHD we still love it, my HD sits in the dock nicely in and charges -- which is all I cared about for the HD just sit it in and it charges with no wire hanging out and it is no longer "laying on my desk" -- . The main reason I purchased these docks was for my sons 30gb and his 8gb flash and they work perfectly with full function remote control and no worries about a child plugging it in wrong damaging his Zune's charging plug. The ONLY drawback with these docks is if you Zune is in a case you will have to take it out of the case to use the dock OR cut the case to allow it to fit in the dock. For MY HD I just have the dock plugged into my PC and it automatically connects and syncs like using the OEM cord but instead of my zune laying on the desk with a wire sticking out the bottom getting in the way all the time it is now displayed nicely standing in the dock on top of my piano black PC media tray which this dock matches nicely. I think I answered all the questions I had before buying this, hope this helps anyone considering buying this AV pack. This dock is a GREAT accessory to have, probably the BEST purchase I have made for our Zunes and the BEST part of that is it is a GENUINE ZUNE PRODUCT made well with quality materials - not some aftermarket junk. BTW the remote is actually smaller than a business card and is laid out like a Zune Flash control panel. If you have a ZUNE you want this dock IMHO - BUY ONE or TWO BEFORE THEY ARE ALL GONE!

Ok, I must confess that I was a bit apprehensive buying this since I have the ZuneHD and this product is not meant for it. But, being less than 20 bucks it was worth a risk! It works excellent as per claimed none of any gimmick or anything just pure functionality. Connect your Zune with the TV, music system or PC. Remote control adds to the functionality bit as well, control your device from any corner of the room. Ok before you complain about the remote, just buy a new CR2032 cell and replace it! I love this device as I don't have to stick my headphones on me all the time and can listen to my music and charge it at the same time without having people shout at me to be heard. Neither do I have to buy a $100 dock cum speaker system with limited options. I can setup my audiophile system, or connect my Plasma TV to watch photos with friends and family, watch DVD quality movies (with component cables connected). Even with simple composite video the picture quality is quite good and for those 1080p movies, we can always go BluRay. I was a bit disappointed that we cant use applications while the dock is connected though. The dock is nicely weighed with rubber base so its stable and as of now, I am using 80GB adapter plate with the HD and its great apart from extra space at the sides which doesn't matter. Don't use your Zune without a adapter plate as the port might get damaged due to lack of support. The remote layout is similar to the Zune interface, back button left corner, up down for volume/scrolling, left right for forward rewind and play at top right corner with a center button for selecting. Simple yet functional although not high quality unlike other parts of the dock like the cables or the dock itself. The back of the dock has got a fixed USB cable, 3.5mm jack for the av cable and under the cover, component video outputs. No HDMI or digital outputs, only analog which quite frankly gets the job done pretty well and the output depends on the quality of the source file. This dock simply expands the media player capability to a new level! Note: If there is no TV output, click on settings>tv output>composite video after checking all connections (power needs to be supplied using the supplied power adapter/laptop and USB cable). If still no video, just restart the device while it is on the dock by keeping power button pressed for 10 seconds. Also, check the switch on the back of the dock. If remote is not working, replace the button cell! Update 1: Ok, I tried using the component out from the dock to watch on my HDTV but, there was no color. The composite out works flawlessly but apparently Zune HD doesnt support component out. The only output from the component cables I recieve is from the Y port while none from the Pb, Pr ports. I did some digging but this is what some people reported. Anyways, the output from composite video is clear enough and although component video would be great but if you want better quality video, you have to go the HDMI way and buy the more expensive HD dock which is for about $120 as of now. The component video works great for older models of the Zune though.

This is a nice little device and great deal, if you still use your Zune. The sound quality of the Zune HD is good and I hope it lasts forever, since my massive music collection is all WMA. The dock is handy since your Zune stays in the one spot, always charged up, and the remote control is pretty cool. This dock was developed for the pre-HD series but it works well with my Zune HD. I'm using it for audio only. Some compromises are involved using this dock with a Zune HD: the HD FM radio has no antenna connection in this dock (the HD-specific docks have an antenna attached) so it won't pick up any stations. The Zune HD doesn't fit any of the included plastic mounting panel inserts, so it just stands up on the connector and I suppose it could be bent if it were bumped hard enough. Picking an album and playing it through while kicking back on the couch is where this dock works well, considering the remote. The remote just needed a new battery. It works for the basic functions- volume, play/pause, skipping tracks. Batteries are around 50 cents on eBay. Overall, a pretty great device for ten bucks!
