Maybe I am the only one who has had this problem, but we bought this as a backup for our disc jockey service and it is extremely unreliable, if it works at all. The problem is with the connections--we use two video iPods and occasionally an iPod mini. Even with the provided adapters that are supposed to push slimmer iPods forward to engage the controls, none of them connect properly. I have to put pieces of folded paper behind the adapters to push them forward more and that, of course, does not make for a stable system when you are trying to play for a customer. The controls often are unusable because the iPod is not properly engaged or the music just stops playing. The video iPod also sometimes just pops out of the plug, again, causing the music to stop mid-song. I realize this is not a top dollar mixer and was never meant to be used professionally, but shouldn't it at least play most of the time reliably? I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. It is a waste of money!
