Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are no other reviews for this "sound machine" yet, so I thought I would share my experience. I wanted a portable speaker unit with a CD player for my ipod, since I use both CDs and my ipod for my work.
This "sound machine" does have the ipod dock, CD player and AM/FM radio. It also has a bass-boost button (which sounds like it "boosts" the bass a little).
It also has a decent volume level.
First problem, this ipod dock did NOT come with the adapter for the most recent Nano (4th generation). Therefore, the Nano just kind of looks silly sitting in the large opening in the front of the player. Because of this fact, I was concerned that it would be easy to bump the Nano around and potentially cause damage to the connector. (I do not know if this can actually happen, I am just assuming that it could, since the Nano does not appear to be properly secured.)
Secondly, the sound quality is only fair. It sounds tinny (if that's a word) and almost a bit fuzzy, like a radio station that's not perfectly tuned-in(that's the best way I can describe it). It's not static, but it was noticeable enough that I instinctivly rechecked my power cord connection and ipod placement.
I have a less expensive, but comparable CD player (without ipod dock) that has MUCH better and clearer sound than this.
No, the price of this player/ipod dock is not high, I still expected a bit more.
Third, the "sound machine" just looks cheap. It's just the first impression I got when I opened the box. Again, my cheaper CD player looks nicer and sturdier than this one.
We are sending our machine back and have decided that, for this price, maybe we will just buy a dock/speakers without the additional CD player.
Good luck, maybe I am just super picky.

Philips DC1010 CD Sound Machine with iPod Dock (Black)iPods haven't killed the boombox--with Philips' DC1010, you can play your music from your iPod and CDs loud and proud. This slick docking entertainment system boasts a full-range speaker system enhanced with powerful Dynamic Bass Boost for a rich and clear sound experience--perfect for pumping up the volume wherever you go.
Take it Anywhere While you're at home, use the DC1010's AC adapter. On the go, just pop in six C batteries (not included) and head to the spot with your tunes in tow.
Play and Charge Your iPod The DC1010 features a universal iPod dock for playing and charging your iPod, slapped right between the speakers on the unit's face. Your iPod keeps charging while it plays, so when it's time to throw it in your pocket, it'll have plenty of juice.
Play Your Favorite CDs Not all of us have ripped our entire music collection to our hard drive just yet. The DC1010's top-loading CD player has you covered, and also will play CD-Rs. You also can program a CD to play in a particular order, even repeating certain tracks.
AM/FM Radio When you need to tune into the news or a favorite radio show, just pull out the antenna and switch to the DC1010's radio.
Dynamic Bass Boost for Deep and Dramatic Sound In conjunction with the DC1010's immersive full-range speakers, Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings--from low to high--at the touch of a button. Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume.
Auxiliary Input The DC1010 also features a 3.5-mm auxiliary input for connecting external devices like MP3 players.
