There's also a front panel auxiliary input jack that allows you to connect and play other types of MP3 players through the speakers as well. The iTone iE600BK works with all Apple iPods (up to January 2006) and recharges all iPod batteries when docked.
Extremely versatile and a breeze to operate, the iTone iE600BK features a top mounted CD player with 20-track programmable memory that handles CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and even CDs containing compressed MP3 audio files.

There is an electronic preset equalizer that will adjust the sound quality to match the most popular types of Music -- "Rock," "Classic," "Pop," and "Jazz". In addition, when the equalizer is in the flat setting (EQ "Off") there is a Bass and Treble control that may be adjusted separately. With the touch of a single button, you can further enhance the sound quality by utilizing the special Surround Sound Circuit which provides an expanded stereo effect, making the speakers seem to be further apart than they actually are.

I loved this thing....when it worked. (Rating: 2 out of 5) When it worked, this little CD player/alarm clock/ipod dock was pretty nice. I loved waking up to my ipod, since it would start out really quiet and slowly get louder, not jarring me out of bed like most alarms. The display is not good for an actual clock though, because it's tiny and you can only see it with the blue light on which is too bright when you're trying to sleep.
I thought the sound quality was pretty good for such a small machine and I used to crank it up pretty loud. The radio reception is horrible. The CD player doesn't have a shuffle option that I could find, but that wasn't too big of a deal, I bought it mostly for my ipod.
In less than a year, the connector jack for the ipod stopped transmitting sound. It recognizes the ipod but there is no sound unless you jiggle the ipod while it's on the dock. Even then, it will sort of work, but as soon as you let go, the sound goes away again. I even took the thing apart in case something came loose inside. To no avail. I can listen to the ipod if I connect it with an aux cable, but then I don't get to use the alarm clock or the remote to control the ipod, which are two of the options I loved about this player. So it's great, if it works. I don't think I'll buy another one. It's too expensive to be so breakable.
perfect! (Rating: 5 out of 5) This product was exactly what I was looking for. It plays the ipod, Cds, and radio. It is one of the only home systems I could find that had all of those features. I'm very pleased.
For just a bit more (Rating: 2 out of 5) Just want to pass on that I bought this Emerson product as a gift for my mom. It seems "okay". We hooked it all up and sounded fair for the price, but then we began our literal comparison. My daughter has a Klipsch I-Groove so we already knew it was INCREDIBLE but I thought it would be just fine to buy my mom the unit with the extra features instead of all the power...Don't do it! It's REALLY not worth the money you pay for it when you can spend just a bit more and get the POWER HOUSE I-GROOVE! I PROMISE you won't regret it. We ended up returning this Emerson and ordering my mom the I-Groove. And then my mom ended up buying me the Klipsch for Christmas too. All worked out great...so glad we made the return. Save yourself the hassle. Go check out the I-Groove!
Awesome speaker/dock system (Rating: 5 out of 5) This is a great product.Emerson iTone iE600BK Home Audio System (Black) It is a name brand, and performs wonderfully. It was purchased for a 20 year old and he's very pleased with it. One of the main goals was a system that would PROTECT the ipod, not leave it sticking up or out, where it could get damaged. It does that very well. The sound is good. It's not so large it takes up a load of room, but big enough to be a solid piece.One big selling point was probably the cd player. This is a great all around system, it's all there! ipod, cd, radio,alarm,even external ports. Now there isn't as many pieces of equipment by the bed! He wakes up to his own music! EXCELLENT. HIGHLT RECOMENDED!!!
Crappy product (Rating: 1 out of 5) This is the second one I have bought within two months and they both were defective. The first one last about a day and the sound went out for no reason. The second worked for about three days and the sound stopped completely. I called Emerson and they told me they both had amplifier problems. You may have more luck than I did, but I would think twice about purchasing this stereo system model.
