Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Creative Labs PlayDock PD200 converts your NOMAD Jukebox into a digital audio boom box while still remaining compact and portable. Setup is as hassle-free as docking your NOMAD Jukebox into the flexible protective glove. The integrated handle allows for easy pick up. The device includes a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 10 hours, as well as an AC adaptor for simultaneous recharging of both your NOMAD Jukebox and PlayDock PD200. The speaker unit is actually a distinctive three-piece speaker system compactly situated. The left and right speakers are 7 watts each, while the subwoofer is 15 watts, for a combined 29 watts of portable power. The package includes the PlayDock PD200 amplified speaker with battery, flexible "glove" holder to secure the NOMAD Jukebox, power adapter, and user manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, July 10, 2001

Great product. I came very close to buying a BOSE Soundwave to be able to plug my Jukebox into when I saw that Cambridge had introduced the Playdock. The sound is comparable to the Bose at 1/5 the price. It produces a nice, rich bass for such a small unit and with the Jukebox glove, it's better than the Bose.

Possible problem: For some reason, my Playdock emits a very, very faint high pitched whine when plugged into an AC outlet. It's very faint, sometimes unnnoticeable.

Other than that, this is a winning design.

4.0 out of 5 stars Playdock makes Nomad Jukebox REALLY worth buying, February 14, 2002

After absolutely loving the Creative Nomad Jukebox, I decided to purchase the Playdock. On the upside, The Playdock's sound is absolutely superb. It's sleek compact design allows you to replace your huge boombox with a small, easy to transport unit. It heaviness is due to the internal battery, which also charges the jukeboxe's batteries for up to twice as long. Unfortunately, it does not come with a radio or any other accessories. When turned off and charging the batteries, it emits a high-pitched noise. OVERALL, THIS IS A MUST FOR JUKEBOX OWNERS!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but with minor drawbacks, July 31, 2001

I got this unit after I have the Nomad Jukebox. I found out to connect my jukebox with home stereo system, I limited my mobility of the unit.

The unit is great with outstanding battery performance. I run up to 8 hours. The sound quality is good, but with some minor distortion in the high frequency.

The speaker dock has some drawback,

1. Too heavy - Holding the dock with jukebox is just like working out your biceps muscle. Don't expect to have the unit as hiking pleasure....

3. Charging high pitch noise - When you are charging the system you can easily hear high pitch noise from the speaker.

4. No battery power indicator

5. The manual said the battery will last for 2 years. How about after two years? Who can guarantee Creative will still be there after two years?

Other than all of the above, this is a cool unit.
