Simply plug the two supplied AIR-SA15 receiver/speakers into a power outlet and the included S-AIR Dock for iPod transmits your stored music with CD-quality sound throughout your home. The Dock for iPod is even capable of transmitting two signals simultaneously so that one speaker can play your iPod music while the other plays an AM/FM radio station.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit bisappointed, November 15, 2008

By	Salsagirl (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

I had high hopes for this product --- needed a way to put sound throughout my small house and functionality seemed great (the ability to use different modes in different rooms, ability to use remote with each of the speaker units to control the ipod, etc.) Unfortunately, it did not work as well as hoped.
The base and speakers had a hard time talking to each other, and they were only 50-60 ft apart and in a relatively unobstructed path. Had to move the base closer and align the speaker so that it was in a more direct visual view. Still, with people in the room it would fade in and out. Not sure if this is because I have wireless internet in the house, which the manual says might interfere, but who that would be looking for wireless speakers doesn't have wireless internet??
The sound quality is very good. Not quite as good as my Bose docking station, but I was pleasantly surprised. The other big downside for me with the sound, however, and the last straw that prompted me to return the product, is the volume level. The highest setting is not all that loud. Fine if you are in the same room... but sometimes I would crank up the volume on my Bose docking station and listen to the music in other rooms or outside ... can't really do this with the Sony.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Easy setup, March 8, 2009

By	Keith (LA) - See all my reviews

I have been looking that this for a while and actually got a hands on demo at CES. I did not buy from Amazon as Circuit City had piles of them at a much better price :¬). I like the product, very easy setup, great sound. The fastest way to a house full of music. All products like this work much better if you create a few playlists as you will have limited ability to browse music from the remote speaker.

I have several different generation iPods and it generally worked, but did not charge my old iPod Mini (not surprised) and would not show artist and song info from the really old iPods (also not surprised).

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!, January 11, 2009

By	Ludwig Defrenne - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just bought this product last week and I love it! it's exactly what I needed! The sound quality is great, not very powerful but powerful enough for my needs.

installation was easy, the base and speakers look great. Despite my wifi router being next to the base, I have not experienced any issues.
