Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Griffin 9801-TCENTER TuneCenter Home Media Center for iPod attaches to your television and stereo for viewing photos, watching video, and listening to your iPod music library or Internet radio. With the included 14-button remote, this unit turns your iPod into a complete home media center, requiring only that you dock your iPod in TuneCenter, and let the entertainment begin.
Griffin's TuneCenter features the ability to display iPod playlists and song information on your TV screen, taking music sharing to a whole new level by allowing the whole room to see at a glance the song title, artist, album and progress of the current song. TuneCenter's remote allows you to navigate through your iPod's entire library, as well as choose your preferences such as shuffle and repeat modes, and EQ. You can use the TuneCenter's remote to skip forward and backward, choose the next or previous song, browse playlists and more -- all without getting up off the couch -- which makes this the ultimate solution for taking full control of your iPod.
This Griffin home media center also expands your musical resources by providing access to Internet radio stations. By simply plugging the TuneCenter into your network you can choose from thousands of free channels, ranging from quiet atmospheres to things that don't seem to even qualify as music, all with slick, on-screen navigation.
The Griffin TuneCenter, however, makes better use of your TV screen than just through the displaying of song lists. This unit also lets you display your iPod's photos on the large screen, as well as play movies from your iPod video on your home entertainment system. When it comes to movies and photos, bigger really is better, especially when you are talking about your own works of art. The TuneCenter lets you display slideshows of your latest vacation and special events, or provides you with the most compact business presentation system ever. Just choose a slideshow and a soundtrack to go with it and let fly, all while using the convenient remote control to skip forward and backward, or pause to emphasize a special point.
The Griffin 9801-TCENTER is compatible with all dockable iPods, including: 4th-generation iPod and iPod photo, iPod mini, 1st and 2nd-generation iPod Nano, and 5th-generation iPod video models. This system includes an S-video and a composite video output for connecting to your TV, an RCA left and right audio output for connecting to your stereo or home entertainment center's speakers, and an Ethernet RJ45 10-100base T connection for hooking up to your network. The Griffin TuneCenter includes an NTSC/PAL video format switch, measures 3.9 x 4.5 x 3.7 inches (W x H x D), and it's backed by a manufacturer's limited 1-year warranty.
iPod Compatibility
iPod nano 1G, iPod mini, iPod 3G, iPod 4G (Clickwheel), iPod Color, iPod 5G/5.5G Video

value for money,

This review is from: Griffin 9801-TCENTER WiFi TuneCenter Home Media Center for iPod (Electronics)
even though i have been reading all these bad and negative feedback on these ipod tune centers, yet my experience was totally different.
I bought 2 of them, one for me and the other for a friend of mine...and we both live it! The sound quality is fine, not superb, but really good and accessing online radio stations is really cool...all this with a 17$ deal! to me is really worth every penny... i highly recommend this prodcut...especially with that price!

Amazon's Product Description is Wrong (yet again),
By
This review is from: Griffin 9801-TCENTER WiFi TuneCenter Home Media Center for iPod (Electronics)
I submitted the following complaint to Amazon Customer Service regarding this item:
For the second time in 2 months, I have been burned by an inaccurate description of a product on the Amazon Web Site. I wrote to you at the beginning of April regarding a hard drive enclosure. Although you offered me a partial refund, in the past six weeks you have not bothered to correct the error. Now, on this order, your description clearly states that this item is compatible with iPod 3G (in two locations) and all dockable iPods (which would include the iPod3G). I have received the item, opened it, hooked it up to my two 3G iPods only to be greeted by a message that says "Please attach an iPod". So, I visited the Griffin Technology web site and found this FAQ and answer - "Which iPods are supported? The TuneCenter is compatible with iPod Video (or "5th Generation" iPods,) iPod Nano, 4th Generation iPods, and iPod Mini. 3rd Generation iPods are not compatible." In spite of what your product description clearly states, the product is simply not useable with my iPods. Your sloppy work has once again caused me to waste my money and my time. What really bothers me is that I see no effort to correct these types of errors.

Unacceptable Sound and Volume Output,
By
This review is from: Griffin 9801-TCENTER WiFi TuneCenter Home Media Center for iPod (Electronics)
As is the case with all iPod docks, you will most likely be disappointed with the sound quality and volume output that these devices produce. However, it is not so much the device as it is where the technology currently lies at. This dock, which I bought, is basically useless unless you use the iPod's "lossless" sound conversion format. Even then, the volume output on any home theater will approximately be at 50% the level as your CD/DVD player, set-top box, etc. would be. I am running a $25,000 home theater system and still cannot find an acceptable sound quality and volume level. Do not waste your time or money. This is a poor investment unless you can find one in the $30-$50 range - cables included.
