Product Description

From the Manufacturer
With the iLuv iMM173 alarm clock and dual dock for iPod and iPhone, you can charge your iPod and iPhone while you're sleeping and wake up to your favorite FM station or tunes from your iPod or iPhone. Featuring two integrated docks, an FM tuner, a large and easy-to-read display, and powerful built-in speakers, this unique bedside alarm clock lets you choose how you wake up every morning while making sure your iPod and iPhone are fully charged for the day.

The iLuv iMM173 alarm clock offers: dual docks to charge and play from two iPods, two iPhones, or a combination of the two; powerful speakers with jAura technology for great sound; and an integrated FM radio and a remote control for operation from across the room.

Never lose the remote again--a magnet holds it in place when not in use. View larger.

The display gives a detailed explanation of the clock functions. View larger.

The iMM173 can charge an iPod and iPhone simultaneously. View larger.

jAura technology offers clear sound and great depth from the speakers. View larger.

Charge and Play Your iPod and iPhone
The iMM173 features two integrated docks that give you the option of charging up to two iPods and/or iPhones. Do this while you're sleeping, and when it's time to wake up, not only will your devices be fully charged, but you also can wake up to your favorite tunes.

And thanks to the system's powerful built-in speakers and jAura acoustic speaker technology, you'll get sound with depth and clarity that belies its small size, making this bedside clock ideal for the kitchen or other room in your house as well. Note: iPhones can be charged on both docks, but only one will be fully compatible while the other will show "airplane mode."

FM Radio, Remote Control, and Line-in Aux Port
If you'd like to listen to the news, weather, or the latest radio hits, the iMM173's built-in FM radio uses PLL digital tuning technology to ensure crystal-clear reception. The radio offers eight programmable presets, so your favorite stations are only a button-push away.

Or, connect another source--like the iPod shuffle, portable CD players, or other MP3 players--using the auxiliary line input. A remote control lets you operate the iMM173 from across the room, and a handy magnet on the back of the unit holds the remote when not in use.

Large, Bright Display with Dual Alarm Clocks
The iMM173 features a large easy-to-read LCD with a 10-level dimmer that lets you turn down the brightness at night when it's time to sleep. The time is easy to set, and a simple switch lets you change between standard and daylight savings time.

Dual alarm clocks, which offer the options of waking up to a buzzer, FM radio, or your iPod or iPhone tunes, ensure that your bedmate also wakes up on time. The iMM173 also offers a sleep option that lets you fall asleep to the radio or your iPod/iPhone. Plus, the alarm clock has treble and bass controls.

The iLuv iMM173 measures 11.2 x 3.4 x 7.2 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 5.3 pounds. It is backed by a 1-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect - EDITED, October 11, 2008

By	J. Wilson (Utah) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was afraid that the iLuv Dual Dock would be too large for my end-table but it is the perfect size. I was also relieved to confirm that both docks will play and charge the 3G iPhone and newest iPods. The build quality is very high and the glossy plastic looks great but it is also a fingerprint magnet and hard to keep clean.

The reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is because I disagree with the other two reviews before mine that state that the sound quality was great. I think it sounds rather poor. I would rate the sound a 3 out of 5 at best. If I was using this for listening to music I'd send it back. It sound nothing even close to the Bose and Altec-Lansing iPod speakers i've listened to. Luckily I'm only using it as a clock, alarm and for listening to podcasts.

Note: It also comes with a nice remote that attaches to the back with a built in magnet.

EDITED:
Since posting the review I've had the iLuv "crash", "lock up", "freeze" a few times. I need to be able to rely on my alarm and this is a real problem. The clock stays showing the time of the crash and all buttons stop functinoing. I have to power cycle the clock to get it going again. I'm going to call iLuv and see what they can do for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, November 20, 2008

By	Steve D (Alden, New York United States) - See all my reviews

The features of this product are great...the problem is the clock constantly freezes and/or locks up. Twice the alarm did not go off because the clock had frozen. I returned the product for a replacement thinking maybe I got a dud. Well the replacement does the same thing. So I emailed the company to see what could be done. Three suggestions were given:

1. Make sure you are using the iPhone dock adapter (well duh)
2. Turn the power off before inserting the phone (well ok but not sure how this would help the clock freezing in the future...it wasn't freezing when I was putting the phone in).
3. Power cycle the clock to reset...(ok I do this EVERY time it freezes).

So bottom line works great to listen to music...but if you need a clock or an alarm (which is probably why you are looking at an ALARM CLOCK) then this is unreliable and completely useless...just like the company's support.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice iphone 3g radio, October 7, 2008

By	Michael "Dealtymz" (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This thing sounds great. Works with Pandora streaming thru your 3G or home network to produce great sound. AUX jack out and in is nice too. Charges my iphone perfectly and I really like the radio alarm clock as the sound starts low and then goes higher. PROBLEM is the light. Even at the lowest level it puts off more light than I want. You can however turn the light totally off but then you have to touch the radio to see the time at 3 AM. Easy fix with some window tinting from Lowe's. The light probably won't bother most b/c there are 10 light settings so it's basically a flashlight at the highest level. But if you like cave darkness you'll have to make some adjustments. Other than the light this thing is a great little radio to have in any room and the speakers fill the room enough to listen to morning podcasts or radio/ipod/pandora. You won't be dissappointed!
