JVC NX-PN7
$150.00
Released May, 2008
The Pros:Ideal for users with multiple iDevices - iPod/iPhone units can charged simultaneously while streaming audio and video content. Video output connectivity is excellent - very easy to configure with strong, consistent signal strength.
The Cons:Many primary functions are accessible strictly via remote control - unit is rendered virtually unusable if lost or without batteries. Not ideal for use as a clock radio - lacks an all-important snooze button and is very difficult to program as a wake-up timer. Single-line monochrome LCD display is not conducive to the complex nature of the unit - hierarchal menu system is difficult to navigate and ultimately frustrating.
The JVC NX-PN7 iPod and iPhone Audio system is a "Dual Play" system. That means it can play and charge two iPods -- a perfect feature for someone with both an iPhone and an iPod or for a household with more than one music lover.

It also includes video output which means it can act as a go between for the iPod video and a larger screen. The speakers, though described as full range, do not include subwoofers and are not going to be good as a more expensive audio system.

Front-mounted hard buttons are of fairly low quality - cheap, "sealed" design provides minimal tactility and often won't register commands
-

Turning off display backlighting ceases iDevice charging - renders the unit virtually useless as an alarm clock/sleep timer
-

Colored LEDs are seemingly pointless - lack beat response and general functionality of "organ lights" as seen on similar units
