I was extremely impresses with their Polk Audio unit, the sound is amazing and the IPod functions correctly. The digital FM sounds awesome, but needs a better antenna or place the unit on an outside wall near a window to receive the best sound.
The iPod and FM sound wonderful and the radio is able to receive hi-definithion FM with only the simple included antenna. This radio offers exceptional value given the sound quality for the price. Too bad there is no way to ground the two chassis' together, as in my 30 year old receiver. The only problem is the presence of hum that may be caused by the TV and radio not being grounded together, and even after making sure the power cables are grounded, the hum is still there although to a lesser extent. This radio suits that purpose very well. I bought this radio to enhance the sound from a 40" TV in our bedroom, as my wife did not want a theater system with multiple external speakers. I have the TV's analog audio output connected to the radio's AUX input. The manual needs to describe the TV-Radio connectivity in more detail.Outside of that, it's great.
While the music sounded great, I just couldn't overlook the two major problems I had and I returned it. Then the clock didn't work. A call and voice message to the manufacturer were not returned. I agree with the other reviewers that there seem to be production problems at Polk. I bought this unit after listening to many units in stores around town. It sounded great, but right away I had a nonfunctional remote control. It would set, then remain at that time.
A few days ago I was listening to my itouch and I pressed on the volume + button to increase the volume. I tried everything, unplugging the unit, decreasing the volume, trying the volume controls in radio but it stayed stuck at the same volume.
Has anyone else encountered this problem. I've contacted Polk and have not yet received a reply.
This is very disappointing for such an expensive unit. Until this happened I really enjoyed the ease of use and sound quality of this unit.
I received the I-Sonic System 2 a year ago for Christmas. It didn't work.
I'm hoping it can be repaired.
Very annoying having to be next to the unit, walk 10 feet, walk back, adjust, walk.*Not GSM SHIELDED*Display light with BRIGHT BLUE BACKLIGHT- Although you can adjust backlight and contrast, its still VERY bright at night. *HD RECEPTION NOT that good- My bedroom catches HD RECEPTION.
Paid $300 definitely not worth anything more. Don't think its interference cause the only thing in my living room that could cause is MAYBE, my Apple Base station.
Moved the unit 20 feet to my living room.static. HD radio actually sounds better than my ipod, depending on the HD STATION.
Couple issues with this unit that annoys the hell out of me.*Can't adjust sound settings with REMOTE- What good is having a REMOTE and NOT being able to adjust the BASS and TREBLE. Why they didn't just have a NO backlight and just the Display light I'll never know.
Which after turning off still exist.Otherwise unit sounds amazing.
