Now you can get the legendary Bose sound for your iPod. The Bose SoundDock Digital Music System is as simple to use as the iPod itself. Just slip your player into the unit's dock — your iPod is now fully connected to the speakers, and it's automatically charging. The SoundDock's slim speakers produce surprisingly rich, full sound with lots of sonic detail.

With the SoundDock's credit card-sized remote, you can control your iPod from anywhere in the room. Change songs or pause them on your iPod, and adjust the SoundDock's volume. The SoundDock's sophisticated iPod-inspired styling makes it an excellent shelf system for any décor. The speakers are video-shielded, so you can even place it close to a TV or PC monitor.

Features

Overview: The Bose SoundDock is a powered desktop speaker system with two 2.5" full range drivers, designed specifically for the Apple iPod digital music player. The iPod is docked directly to the unit, allowing you to easily play your music files.

iPod Adapters: The SoundDock features a slot in the front of the unit with the proprietary iPod dock connector. There are three iPod adapters from which to choose, allowing you to fit your particular iPod model into the docking slot. The SoundDock works with any iPod with a Dock connector, including the 10GB, 15GB, 20GB, 30GB, and 40GB "Touch Wheel" iPods, the 4th generation "Click Wheel" iPods, the 5th generation 30GB and 60GB "Click Wheel" iPods, the iPod Mini, the 30GB and 40GB iPod Photo models, iPod Nano models (1st, 2nd and 3rd generation), iPod classic, and iPod touch. An adapter for the 60GB iPod Photo is currently available from www.bose.com at no charge.

Note: The SoundDock is not iPhone certified.

Controls: The only controls on the speaker system are for volume, up and down. A wireless remote control is also included which offers basic iPod controls; volume up/down, skip forward/backward, search forward/backward within the song, play/pause, and off. The controls on the iPod also work while connected to he SoundDock. The SoundDock will return to the last volume setting used when turned on. Note: The SoundDock volume controls must be used because the iPod's volume control only affects the headphone output.

Input: The SoundDock has only the iPod dock connector, so it can't be used with any iPod without the dock connector or with any other brand portable player.

Power Supply: The unit is powered by the supplied AC adapter only. It does not operate on battery power. The SoundDock provides power to charge your iPod even if the speaker system is off.

Note: The SoundDock will not charge the iPod touch (2nd generation) or iPod nano (4th generation)

Headphones: The headphone output on the iPod is independent of the Dock connector so both the SoundDock and headphones can be used simultaneously, with independent volume control.

Non-Slip Feet: The bottom of the SoundDock features six surface-gripping rubber pads to provide a stable platform on most surfaces.
