Only thing that has kept me from ordering this setup is they only offer a 90day warranty. I think it should be a standard just like in europe now that everyuthign has to have a year warranty minimum from manufacturers.

MCesio · 04-04-2006, 05:56 AM

The UK has standard one year warranties on most things... "Europe" is another story altogether.

Yo Max ... I have been searching this question down for a couple of days now ..... is this absolute ?? I will get that docking station in a heartbeat ..... based on the review .. it sounds as though it is an awesome speaker system ...... but I really have not been able to get a singular yes/no answer on iPod compatibility ....... that would be great ...

I am curious if the mp3 player itself comes with a case or bely clip or some sort?

RedDogMan · 04-07-2006, 07:43 PM

Gotcha on the cable thing maxrule .... but i was wondering if the dock allowed the iPod to actually connect directly to it .... my thought and/or fear is loss of audio quality by starting to go thru additional cables , etc. i just have not been successful in finding out if the dock would accomodate a direct connection without wires, cables, etc.... still looking though ... i might get the docking station regardless ... it sounds really nice ... certainly looks good too .....

RedDogMan · 04-08-2006, 03:29 PM

well , thank you ...... i was so unsure of that ,,,,, i was trying to see if there was a transformational unit to allow the iPod to dock onto !! Thank You so very much for your help and insight ....

tridge · 04-08-2006, 05:39 PM

Too bad I bought a 1G IPod Shuffle... I would much rather have that, I think it's because the review was not published yet

THANKS!

RedDogMan · 04-09-2006, 09:06 AM

dexxr ... you bet. I got the 40gig iPod and currently have almost a thousand tunes on it .... not willing to give it up or to start over. I know there are ways to usb it in or some other method , but i was hoping to see if there was a unit out there that would allow the iPod to actually sit in the dock. Does not look promising ..... if time was on my side, i would have gotten the aw unit ... and just to get off my soapbox .... had they had an iPod conversion ability ... i think they would be selling a ton more of these dockers ...
