Question: Would a dock extension cable fit into the iPod port without interfering with other functions, so I could connect an iPad 2?
Document: And if you try to use a DOCK ADAPTER to connect another device (i.e., I wanted something that I could play my portable Pioneer Inno for Sirrius/XM radio on)...no deal! It won't accept a dock adapter. So unfortunately for my purposes this unit didn't quite cut it. But if you are going to use it to just play CDs or your iPod/iPhone, definitely consider this!
i had an older book shelf unit that finally bit the dust . It worked but barely. I was looking for something I could still play a CD and also dock my ipod. I wanted something sleek that didnt take much room and improved upon the previous unit. I dont think there is much out there that wouldnt have been!! LOL. This unit fit the bill.
I realized, after buying this unit, that I should have done more research, and that electronics are not all as compatible as I had hoped and assumed. This unit has no aux-in and only has an Ipod dock, so I can't use my non-apple mp3 player. I tried getting an input adapter hoping I could use that to hook up my mp3 player to the ipod dock, but after many minutes of 'checking connection' I get the message 'not supported', though it would charge.
Great sound in small package. Be sure to go for the 40 Watt model. Would be nice is broader range of devices could connect with it. Overall great value!
We have owned this system for two years and it has never worked very well and now the CD port is locked up and I am going to have to pry it open to retrieve my CD. The ipod dock quit working six months ago.
), but then, with three attempts, I was NEVER able to get any of the "service engineers" to call me back. They just plain left me hanging alone.So now, I have an iPod that I don't use, and a Panasonic CD player that does not dock anything!To make matters worse, the Panasonic unit stopped working DEAD after about 2 weeks of use!!!!!!!
Would have been a higher rating but it's difficult to seat an Ipod properly in the dock especially if you have a cover on the Ipod.
The instructions are easy to understand; and you can get a PDF copy of the instructions from Panasonic's website (if you want to check further details about the stereo before you buy it).This stereo is almost the same asPanasonic SC-HC57 Compact Audio System with Universal iPod Dock and Airplay Wireless Audio Streaming, except SC-HC57 has some extra bells and whistles (which I knew I didn't need, and would probably never use; like Airplay Wireless Audio Streaming). Otherwise, the stereos are the same.
Not exactly iPhone ready. You will need an adapter to plug your iPhone into this thing. It is also a little annoying that it charges the phone when you connect it to the port. I've always been told that it's not good for the battery to charge it when it's only half empty. So I always feel like I'm contributing to the death of my phone when I plug this thing in to listen to music. I find myself only using it when my phone is dead. That wasn't my intention.
I put this little player in "my room" in my home. It has great sound for what it is and I love the fact that it is controlled by remote, so if I am at my sewing machine I can change volume, stations etc without getting up. My only disappointment with this item is that I thought in the description of this it said you could use an MP3 player as well as the Ipods etc.
Answer: It's designed to close over the front of the iPod while it plays, so running a cable from that port isn't likely to work very well.
