This review is from: TEAC SR-100i-B Hi-fi CD/FM Radio with Retractable iPod Dock (Electronics)
Well, I wasn't going to spend $600 on a B&W Zeppelin iPod Dock ... and then I saw this unit. Yes, it's look ... and price, sold me on it.
Along with an iPod dock (which is smart as you can push it in if you're not using it to keep the visual lines clean) it also has a radio AND a CD player that plays MP3/WMA disks AND a USB port. I have a 6th gen iPod nano on it and the overall look is very cool! It's rated at 50w per channel which is pretty powerful given that's it a souped-up speaker dock.
This speaker comes with a clean, simple ovoid remote that runs using a lithium watch battery. There is also a very retro-futuristic blue led display that lists status, volume, etc.
Teac isn't too well-known in the US, but it's your typical decent Japanese company (they're bigger in Europe).
Okay, and now to the crux of the review - how about the sound quality? For the price paid, I think it's pretty good. Note that I don't listen to music at...Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
What I liked most about this unit are its base-rich sound and features rich remote control unit. It has a particularly nice base sound as compared to my Bose Sounddock portable unit. It also added versatility with features such as a clock with sleep/wake-up timer, CD player, FM player, iPod MP3 dock, and USB connection for Flash drives. The remote control unit is also packed with functions including programmable tracks palyback in the CD and USB modes.
This unit fits well as a table-top player. It does require some open space (needs a 2' x 1' area) as the unit is larger than the typical boom-box. In comparison, the Bose Sounddock portable is a lot more portable with its lighter weight and rechargeable capability.
The iPod dock is also conveniently placed in the front of the unit. I was able to play my iPod music with no problem but it seems to have problems occasionally playing with my iPhone (the music does not play automatically) even-though the manual stated...Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This unit is substantial and heavy. Much larger than it looks in the photo. The back has L and R Aux in, a slot for the included FM antenna and a USB port along with the AC power in. It comes with a surfboard shaped remote, which you must use to access most of the controls. The unit itself has buttons along the top for Function/On/Off (changing the input), Play/Pause, Stop, Eject Disc and Volume adjustment. A small blue lit LCD screen give in the information (channel, mode ect).
Other info from the manual not included on the Amazon site:
Tuner selection FM Frequency Range 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz.
Speaker system type: Tweeter 38mm X 2 and Woofer 91mm X2. Impedance 8 ohms.
Total output power 50W
Weight (net) 12 lbs.
Pros:
Great sound. Good bass, classical music sounds fantastic. This is a very strong "pro", this unit sounds very good. I could hear a triangle in a piece that I had never heard before when listening to the music through...Read more
