Product Description

The Sony AIR-SA20PK S-AIRPLAY is an easy-to-use, plug-and-play system that lets you enjoy your iPod music out loud throughout your home. 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. The S-AIR PLAY is compatible with most iPod models. Additionally, each speaker includes controls for volume and the audio source, an LCD display that lets you view track info, and a convenient clock and alarm.

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 pretty good, September 5, 2009

By	Jerome Perkins - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently purchased this item at shop nbc for $165. It is a good deal for that amount. For the $400 that is was originally it would not have been worth it. I would have rated this item a 3.5 star. It is good. Unlike some others who have had signal problems, I have not experienced those issues. I live in a house that has wifi, the wii and laptops. I placed one unit up stairs an the other one downstairs (the base is downstairs) and the system plays well. I did not like the quality of the base units and the speaker remotes, they seem like toys, I don't know what sony was thinking. The sound quality is pretty good though it could be louder. Overall I would recommend this product.
