Good value dock with more features than Apple's
I use this dock to play my 60GB video ipod through my home stereo system and can't fault it. All the features work; including the extra ones with the remote (shuffle, repeat, next album...). Represents much better value than the Apple universal dock and IR remote and does more. Highly recommended!
Unlike Ronseal....
...it doesn't do what it says on the tin! I have an Ipod video, which according to the manual should operate all of the 'extended' functions. It doesn't. I've tried upgrading my Itunes and Ipod software, as suggested by the Logic technical support, but this has no effect.
So the 'change album' feature doesn't work. Big deal! I have so many albums loaded that I can really see why I'd want to use this anyway. This is why I've only rated it as 4 star.
The unit is much more solid that it looks on the picture - quite heavy in fact - not sure what they've put inside (maybe a piece of lead?), so this is not going to be knocked off the top of my HI-Fi cabinet easily!
The remote is really slim, but simple enough to give me the most important functions without too much trouble - i.e. change track, pause/play and of course volume. Also worth noting that the range of the remote is quite impressive. I have a huge living room, and even half-way up it, 25 feet from the ipod, the remote works. Will also work at quite an oblique angle.
I haven't used playlists much in the past, but the change playlist function may be quite useful.
There are lots of ipod-docking 'hifis' on the market these days, but I have a very good 'traditional' component set - this is a great way of using it with the Ipod. Recommended.
Does work with 2G Nano
I was concerned that the extended functions would not work with my 2G 8GB Nano, after reading an earlier review, but everything works without problem. Maybe the reviewer has a first gen. Nano? It did not come with a Nano dock adaptor, but the one supplied with the Nano fits fine.
It looks great, takes up very little space and the sound output is excellent. The remote control does not need to be pointed directly at the dock, it worked in any direction I aimed.
Overall very good value, no need for an Apple branded dock.
