With no USB, any IPod or IPhone will not recharge while playing? And the light show cannot be turned off with the Mega Bass on?

No charging port. You can turn the lights off and have the least amount of bass. Or you can have the lights on with more bass or blinking with the music with more bass.

I am not sure about this USB stuff because I didn't try to use it yet I keep my boombox at work ,But yes you can stop these flashing lights during mega Bass , it will be one steady light instead . Like I said I have it at work so I can't look at it right now but If I good remember this will be the main button where you turn on Bass to stop flashing lights . Just try it pushing few times And you will figure out .

No USB to charge anything from. Only an audio "line in". You have 4 options for the bass/lights. Off, Lights on with bass, Lights on with Mega Bass, & Flashing lights with Mega Bass.

Woah, still orange? I wanna say that at one point, I had the same issue but I'm preeetty sure that it went away and eventually turned green (I haven't charged it in like 2 weeks). Currently, I'm in the process of returning the IPOD cuz of some other non-light related reason, but the gentlemen with Underwater Audio has been doing everything I would want as a consumer. I feel confident about my soon to be initiated process of sending the iPod back and receiving a new one.Is your light still staying orange?

You can find an adapter to play your new iPhone or iPod but it will not charge at same time

Same problem. Have a dock that charges my ipod but when I plug it in there is no light. It's an old dock, copyright 2004.

just for the record, i owned one of these docks and a 2g ipod touch. It would play music just fine. It would not charge the ipod, so that made it just about useless for me.

Actually, I had not tried it. I use the 3.5mm input. So I tried a generic MP3 player, an iPod Classic, and a USB stick that I dumped some songs onto. Not only does it not auto-play when turned on, I can't get it to play at all! The LED next to the USB port blinks as if it's playing, and stops blinking when you hit pause, but no sound ever happens. Not good. I don't need that feature at all, but I suggest this is probably not going to do what you need. It's a decent enough amp in all other ways - I use it to play my iPod (analog out) in my work shop and it's fine for that. But I'd avoid this amp for anything fancy like you're asking.

There isn't a dock or usb for the ipod, but I assume if you bluetooth or connect it with a stereo cable it should be fine. I personally don't use an ipod for this. Hope I was of some help.

You can use the iPhone's Bluetooth with the sound bar. I haven't tried using the USB input with my iPod.

I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it. So I "forgot" the speaker on my iphone. Turned the speaker off and back on and then held the "menu" button down to get it into pairing mode again and repaired the two and it started working fine. It would previously take calls and play them through the speaker, but not music. Not sure where the problem was, but it seems to be resolved.Sound quality and volume are pretty good for the money I paid. It feels like it's built sturdy and looks good. Haven't tried the aux out yet. I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it.

I wanted to know this as well, and as I was going through the reviews one person said:"I purchased two of these, and the LCD display did not work on one. They do not charge an iPod touch (fourth-generation), so if you were planning to listen to your tunes for hours while driving down the road; you had better make a different plan. Hours later, your battery will be dead. On the other hand, the FM transmitter seems to work okay without the plug-in attachment. "

Mine was missing the iPod cable that plugs into the main unit, but new iPods can plug into a USB cable that plugs into the USB port. HOWEVER, the usb cable does not provide much or a charge, nor does it provide a full on-sreen control experience, so make sure they include the full ipod adapter cable if you want real ipod control. Overall, AMAZING :)

Depends on the model guess. The first one I bought, when it died, I could plug it into the wall charger via USB and still have it in my phone with the aux an it would just play. One of my friends loved mine and bought one a few months after I did to daisy chain, but hers will not charge while playing NOR play through the outlet, she has to charge first before she can play anything. I don't know if it's all new models or just roulette =(

Hey Duffer: My first answer is," I don't know" The receptacle on the front of the player is a USB. You might check with apple to see if they make a connector with a USB end on it. Another thought, if you are talking to the Apple guys, would be to look into Apple Airport. But -- the connector would probably be the least expensive. JD

I know this is a common concern but I just got this speaker and it CAN charge an ipod touch 2nd generation...if you have the time to deal with it. I tried playing around with it and figured out that if you have the speaker turned on (with the ipod turned on (or in sleep mode) and inserted on the dock) and unplug and replug the speaker, it begins charging each time. The speaker MUST be turned on when you unplug it or else it doesn't work. The ipod doesn't have to be on the dock when its unplugged but it has to be on the dock once you plug it in for this to work. This is the only way I can get it to charge 100% of the time. Tedious but it works. Let me know if this helps. Good luck everyone!

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

I haven't tried to play music through usb yet, but it does come with a headphone style jack for music input, and I can confirm that the usb port will charge devices. I should get some .wma and .mp3 files and try then on my phones external storage setting...
