Bad Remote January 7, 2009
K. C. Ross (NY USA)
Overall a very good product. The problem is with the remote that does not always work no matter how close you are to the base. It took 30 minutes and new battery (which i did not need as the old worked as well) to get the system working. The iPod did not always sit well in the base which kept jumping from charging status to Denon screen. I do recommend the product as it sounds great once it got going.

tips on setting up wifi - which can be frustrating on this device September 13, 2008

i bought this with 2 goals

1) play internet radio via wifi
2) stream music from pc via wifi

i have a denon 3808ci receiver

i was going to return this back to the store for obvious reasons but decided to keep it after discovering these... and finally getting it to work

- pc has to on wifi network for streaming to work
- when you enter network information, use the up and down arrows for character input
- after inputting the WEP key press > twice to SET the wep key

after figuring out the above steps (not documented in the denon manual) i was able to get everything working and love it so far

Easy to Setup, No Mac Support June 29, 2008

Overall, I think this is a solid product. I didn't have any problems getting it to work on my network and I use both MAC address filtering and WEP encryption. The audio quality is very good and the UI, while a bit slow and odd, is pretty easy to get used to after about an hour of use.

While I like the Internet radio features, I don't like the fact that I can't use the jukebox / computer music sharing feature with my Mac mini. It appears you can only make that feature work with Windows Vista. That's a poor design choice, in my opinion.

If you're a Mac user who doesn't need the internet radio streams, you could go with a less expensive dock and have a similar experience.

Setup was a snap! May 30, 2008

After reading earlier reviews and having prior experience with Denon receiver I was prepared to spend a couple of days setting up the ASD-3W. To my surprise, I had it up and running within 15-20 min. I entered wireless router info, it recognized my Windows Home Server media streaming instantly. My Vista desktop also found the new device on the network and offered to share my Windows Media player library - so I got two devices streaming onto the ADS-3W, sweet!

I purchased this device to use it with iPod, ended up using it to play the networked MP3s and internet radio stations (I just love the latter feature!). I still can use it with the iPod but at this point it is a bit redundant for me as I have all of the MP3s stored on the network.

Not as advertised, hobbled February 19, 2008

quick summary:
1) You need a screen to operate this, stereo Denon receivers no good
2) Vista ONLY (yuck) for pc operation/compatibility, according to the docs
3) cumbersome menu system and wi-fi connection

I'm returning this product. First of all, it isn't *truly* compatible with many of the receivers. I bought it with one of the supposedly compatible Stereo receivers (DRA-397), but there's no way to operate the unit. The Receiver doesn't recognize it, and even if it did, there would be no way to see where you are in the slow and convoluted menu system of the product. You cannot use the iPod's menus while it is connected. If you don't have one of the new Denon Home theatre receivers, you will need a screen (s-video) to operate the unit. Since I wanted this in a stereo (not a home theatre) my only option would be to buy an auxiliary screen.

I did connect it to a TV to see the menu system and connect it to my Wi-Fi network. I didn't have a problem connecting it to an open network, but when I asked it to look for music libraries (there were several on the network) it just returned an unspecified 'network config' error.

The documentation is just about the worst I've seen.

I've always expected high quality product from Denon. This, unfortunately, is a wide miss.
