(More customer reviews)UPDATE - 9/19/2007: I WROTE THE COMPANY VIA E-MAIL. AFTER A COUPLE OF E-MAILS, THEY WROTE BACK, TOLD ME THEY WOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS EXPIRED, AND REPLACED THEUNIT WITH A NEW ONE. THE COMPANY STOOD BY THE PRODUCT. THE NEW UNIT IS AN IMPROVED MODEL, AND IT IS MUCH BETTER. FOR THE PRICE, IT'S AN PRETTY GOOD VALUE. AT LEAST THE ONE WE HAVE WORKS NOW. THANKS TO iLIVE FOR BEING A STAND-UP COMPANY. We purchased this unit at a Kohl's in Arkansas in April. It is a cheaply made unit. If you turn up the volume very loud, the CD player will skip, so apparently there is no anti-skip feature. That's extremely annoying. The unit began to give problems just after the 90-day warranty (imagine that!) and now it will not turn on at all. The clock display will appear if the unit is plugged in, with the time of 12:00, but you cannot set or change it. The iPod will charge, but will not play. We are going to throw this hunk of junk in the trash. I certainly cannot sell it to anyone, as it will not function or play, PERIOD. Perhaps another manufacturer has a better quality type of iPod boom box that will work well. Whatever you do, PLEASE do yourself a favor, and avoid this product like the plague! I intend to write the company over this most disapointing experience.

iLive IBCD3817DTBLK Portable Boombox with iPod Docking Station and CD Player/AM/FM Radio with Premium Stereo Sound and Remote Control in BlackA great gift for iPod owners everywhere, the iLive IBCD3817DTBLK portable boombox integrates a built-in iPod docking station with a slot-loading CD player and AM/FM tuner, making it a true all-in-one portable audio system. The unit starts with the iPod dock, which plays and charges your iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G and 5.5G, iPod mini, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. The CD player, meanwhile, supports CD, CD-R, and CD-RW formats, letting you listen to any CD tracks that you haven't yet uploaded to your iPod, along with a friend's CDs. Finally, you can catch up on the news, listen to the game, or catch a commercial station via the AM/FM tuner, which offers a number of station presets for easy channel surfing.
The IBCD3817DTBLK owes its high-quality 2.1-channel sound to its pair of front-firing stereo speakers and dual subwoofers, which combine to produce a rich audio performance with a surprisingly deep bass response for such a compact unit. Also adding to the audio quality is a built-in equalizer with several preset settings, including rock, pop, jazz, classic, and DBBS. And thanks to the full-function remote control, you can control the CD player and iPod from a distance. Other details include a sleek black housing; a six-digit blue backlit LCD display with a digital clock and timer; CD track programming; a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for connecting other audio players, like an iPod shuffle or MP3 player, an audio/video output for connecting an iPod photo or video to a TV; a stereo HP jack; and a comfortable carrying handle. The iLive boombox, which runs on AC power or eight D-size batteries (not included), measures 18.8 by 8.8 by 9.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
