Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A great gift for iPod owners everywhere, the iLive IBCD3817DT portable boombox integrates a built-in iPod docking station with a slot-loading CD player and AM/FM tuner, making it a true all-in-one portable audio system. The unit starts with the iPod dock, which plays and charges your iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G and 5.5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. The CD player, meanwhile, supports CD, CD-R, and CD-RW formats, letting you listen to any CD tracks that you haven't yet uploaded to your iPod, along with a friend's CDs. Finally, you can catch up on the news, listen to the game, or catch a commercial station via the AM/FM tuner, which offers a number of station presets for easy channel surfing.

The IBCD3817DT owes its high-quality 2.1-channel sound to its pair of front-firing stereo speakers and dual subwoofers, which combine to produce a rich audio performance with a surprisingly deep bass response for such a compact unit. Also adding to the audio quality is a built-in equalizer with several preset settings, including rock, pop, jazz, classic, and DBBS. And thanks to the full-function remote control, you can control the CD player and iPod from a distance. Other details include a sleek white housing; a six-digit blue backlit LCD display with a digital clock and timer; CD track programming; a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for connecting other audio players, like an iPod shuffle or MP3 player, an audio/video output for connecting an iPod photo or video to a TV; a stereo HP jack; and a comfortable carrying handle. The iLive boombox, which runs on AC power or eight D-size batteries (not included), measures 18.8 by 8.8 by 9.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars great little radio, April 29, 2008

I bought this radio to use at work (I'm in construction) I picked this unit because the radio surrounds the ipod giving it protection from dirt and debris typically expected on a construction site.
The radio and Ipod portion work well for my need.
the cd port is found on top of the radio and I expect that it will eventually fill with dirt and dust rendering the cd player useless. but as of now it works flawlessly.
The sound of the unit is very good and the volume is very good as well.
when using the AC adapter, the radio charges the ipod
unfortunately the radio also charges the ipod when running on batteries. (it takes 8 D cell batteries) that's not good
overall this radio is great unless you intend to listen to your ipod and run it on batteries.

The radio and ipod play are great and very easy to use. However, I have purchased two of these items and the cd player does not work in either one.

For the price, this was a great investment. I like the fact that it is portable and that it has CD and radio as well as ipod. the only negative would be that it is sometimes hard to connect the ipod to the base connector on the unit. Sound quality is great.
