Harman Kardon The Bridge II

Harman Kardon has yet another iPod docking station for us, this time round it is The Bridge II that takes the honors. Compatible with both the iPod as well as iPhone, this special peripheral enables expanded iPod capabilities, including audio/video playback via a home entertainment system, on-screen iPod menu display, remote control operation, and charging.

The Bridge II connects to the Harman Kardon DMC 1000 digital media center, the new AVR 354 7.1-channel audio/video receiver and the HK 3490 stereo receiver, or to other Harman Kardon The Bridge-ready receivers. It enables control of your iPod for music, and image and video playback (with the AVR 354), with iPod menu information visible on the user’s TV and on the DMC 1000’s, or receiver’s, front panel.

Summer will be when The Bridge II is unveiled, with a $129 recommended retail price.
