Good value & pretty good product - with some problems [Posted on 2008-10-26]
I got an ipod nano 3rd gen. as a gift a few weeks ago, and was wanting to find a good clock radio/dock at a good price. Well, this IS a good value for the price, if you don't have the problems I had (&still have) with it. First though, It's got great sound -- I've heard more expensive speaker systems that don't deliver nearly the sound quality of this one. I like the little adjustable back brace for the ipod, I don't have to worry with getting it into the dock right. It seems to charge the ipod fairly rapidly, although I do leave it on the dock overnight anyway. I love the remote. Even though I'm not sitting that far away from it when using it, it's still nice to be able to point and click. The remote gives you full access to all the ipod functions, and is easy to figure out how to use (even for someone like me who isn't very electronics friendly.
The big downside -- this thing is very particular about the order you do things to set the alarm. I've had this thing for 2 or 3 weeks and I still set another clock as a back up, 'cause half the time the alarm doesn't go off on this thing. The ipod has to be on the dock before you set the alarm, and you have to go through steps in a particular order or the alarm won't go off at all.
Value for the price, ignoring the alarm problems, I'd give it an A. Sound quality I'd give it an A+, as this unit really delivers. But sony really needs to re-think how you set the alarm and make that a little more workable for those of us that aren't electronics genuises!

Audible distortion, but great potential [Posted on 2008-10-28]
I received this unit today after eagerly waiting 5 days for delivery. After hooking it up I noticed audible distortion with both my iPod classic and iPhone. The manual warns that distortion is possible if an iPhone or other mobile phone is nearby. I put the iPhone in Airplane mode to disable all radio transmissions, but sound distortion did not subside. At a low volume of 8, the distortion is overpowering. At higher volumes the distortion is mostly drowned out. It is very likely that my unit is defective and it's going back.
However, at louder volumes where distortion is drowned, the sound quality was remarkable, easily living up to the comments posted here. The speakers can fill the room with rich, warm sound. I am going to give it another try after a couple of weeks.
an ipod doc that doesn't allow you to wake to you ipod [Posted on 2008-11-03]
This item is great, with one exception. I cannot use my new 120gb iPod to wake. Every morning for a week, I tried to wake to my iPod, and every morning, the buzzer went off. I am a technically savvy person, and even read the directions. Much to my dismay, I ended up sending this back and getting a stupid iHome again because I knew it would work. Sony, you have let me down yet again.
