You will have to manually select the dock for input. It also has selections for "aux-in" and "radio" for the built-in tuner. You have to read the dimly-lit LED window in order to know which input is selected. The LED lights on mine quit working after several weeks making it impossible to see what input I was selecting. Mine is now sitting in the garage and no longer in use. I have purchased a Bose Mini-Link Bluetooth speaker as a replacement and it is wonderful.

Sure, it will just play what you have loaded on the ipod but you can't get online.

You can use the headphone jack that conects the clock to the ipod, but it will not conect to the radio.

It is a charging and playback input for the speakers. Playlists are done on your device not the speaker system.

Yes. It will play from your ipod or iphone play list. It should work for your purpose.

Every time it's powered off you have to select input for IPod. It won't automatically recognize it.

Nope. Found that out AFTER I bought the player. :( I put my ipod on it and it says on the screen "This device is not supported by the current something or other...." something like that.

There is a volume control on the back. Choose music or waves then lower or raise the sound. You can even hook it up to your ipod.

You control the volume with your iPod. There is no volume control on the speaker. You also can't play the speaker through the USB connection while it is charging.

You can pre-sort your playlist on iTunes by alphabetical order within the Artist Name but outside of that, you will not be able to know in real time what is playing because there is no display screen like the larger iPod versions. The other option is to create smaller 10 song playlists that you know the specific order of and shuffle between them. This inability to know "real-time" what is playing is a small downside of the shuffle and would be a reason to buy the larger iPod with screen display.

NO it does not. If I'm not mistaken this is how the buttons work. When you power up your ipod, it will show green. If you move dial all the way to the right you play list would be on shuffle. When you move I notch over it will play in sequence. There are 5 buttons on the unit. Top/bottom for volume. The right/left to play forward one song or back to the other. The middle button is to turn the unit on/off. I hope this helps

Yes the time still displays. Sometimes the album covers appear on the IPOD but other times I can't get them to appear. Don't know why. Anyone else know why? Sometimes have a hard time docking it.

You may have the small switch on the top in lock position? small button on top needs to be in the unlocked position to turn the iPod off. That switch is on there so when you are traveling the settings are locked so it wont change songs or change volume etc........ good luck

I don't know. I've never tried to use the alarms/clock on it; I always use my phone. although, if you could set an alarm on your ipod, I think it would play through the dock

Because later model iPods/iPhones and iOS versions have shown compatibility problems. I connect mine via aux input to airport streaming audio from iTunes/computer. If you want to play audio directly from dock, you may have problems

My radio deck controlling my iPod works good changing songs using the radio receiver not the iPod.

you must purchase an optical audio cable, that is sold seperatly. It took me a while to figure that out. Plus , I have an older Ipod, the one just before the touch and it will not play mine. It does play the newer ones.
