Junk.......2007-12-08
It just doesn't work.. Brand new out of the box it wont respond to radio buttons or Ipod controls. Not supported on website. The clock works. I guess I can time how long I'm not listening to music.
Pitiful AM reception.......2007-11-23
I realize that most people buy this product to play their iPods through it. However, when a product is advertised as an AM/FM radio, you expect to get exactly that. The AM reception in this device is so pitiful you would think you were listening to an old Japanese transistor radio from the late '60's. Very disappointing to say the least. We still have this player, but the under-counter device from iHome was so bad we donated it to a fund raising auction. There is something wrong with the engineering iHome is putting into their AM receivers - or maybe they're not engineering them at all. Maybe they are left over from an old Japanese warehouse.
Good Product.......2007-10-11
The iH6 sounds great, it serves its purpose as a great set of speakers for the nano. My girlfriend loves it. But i suggest the iH8 its the same price i payed for the iH6.
A Great Product.......2007-10-06
It arrived on time and in perfect condition; it works as well as the advert says, I've had no problems so far.
Great sound, minor complaints.......2007-10-04
Great sound for such a small unit, and a very convenient way to charge the iPod.
PROS:
- Sound is great.
- It has an equalizer (I dont think the IH5 did) that lets you tailor the sound.
- There is a stereo mini input (and cable), so you can connect a portable CD or another MP3 player (really nice).
CONS:
Very happy with it. These are minor complaints, but you should know about them:
1. Power supply is HUGE! Roughly 3.5in x 2.25in x 2.75in. This makes it hard to plug in behind a bedside table.
2. "Dual Alarms" -- this feature is a near miss. Yes, there are two alarms. But one is for the iPod, the other for the radio. (They cannot both control the iPod, for example.)
3. "Buzzer Alarm" -- this feature only wakes you if you have selected Alarm 1 (IPOD) and your IPOD is not docked. Not a big deal.
4. Display does not show alarm time. You have to press a button. I prefer alarm clocks that show you the current time, as well as the time the alarm is set for. Also, there is no "AM" indicator (only a "PM" indicator). This can lead to the dreaded AM/PM confusion
5. Remote is sluggish to respond, and limited in what it can do. But hey, its a remote for an alarm clock!
6. This is not limited to IH6 -- it is a problem with most iPod alarm clocks: The IH6 may believe the iPod is off, when it is actually playing. If this occurs, you will hear no sound, and believe it is off. At alarm time, the IH6 will send a signal to the iPod, thinking it is turning it on, but actually turning it off. The result: you keep sleeping. To prevent this, before bed, always turn the ipod on, then off, using the buttons on the IH6 or remote. According to iHome, this is a result of the way the iPod works (there is one signal that toggles on/off, rather than separate on/off signals.)
Like I said, these complaints are minor. The sound on this thing is great, especially when you consider how small it is!

Customer Reviews:
Great improvement over previous models.......2007-12-20
iHome has fixed a few oversights in prior models like no radio station presets and the sound is better than the predecessors. The iH9 sounds very good, especially compared to other brands of similar price and fewer features. I echo the first comment - no need to get this through Amazon/TechNG since you can get it directly form iHome (with free shipping) for $30 less. My daughter really likes this unit.
great product.......2007-12-02
The sound on this is great. I love having the opportunity to wake up to music. The only thing about buying this on Amazon is that it is more expensive. I found it on the iHome website for $99.

Onkyo TX-NR1000 - NO HDMI UPGRADES.......2007-09-23
At release, this receiver was very good. One flaw was it had HDMI 1.0, not HDMI 1.1. Onkyo marketed this flagship model as a "future-proof" modular design that could be upgraded to keep up with changes in audio / video technology. Well, Onkyo failed miserably to support this model with upgrades. They have offered one upgrade card... a radio card that includes XM, Sirius and HD radio interfaces. That's it. Onkyo has never made an official announcement about this. I and others on the AVS Forum have emailed Onkyo, but only received generic answers (check our site for updates, etc.). For more than a year, no response until this month. They responded to my email by stating that they will offer NO HDMI card updates. Because of changes in DSP technology, they are unable to offer HDMI 1.3 cards. Now they are offering a trade-in. Send back your ($4999.99 list) TX-NR1000 flagship and they'll exchange it for a TX-NR905 ($2099.99 list), AND you need to pay an extra $1000.00 in addition!
This is outrageously poor treatment to their flagship customers. Offer upgradability, don't deliver and expect your customers to pay MORE.
unattended beauty.......2005-04-14
Everything you expect from top-flight name-brand modern home theatre's "powerhouse brain centre": actually rated ample power per channel, an array of features and options (taking a lifetime to get acquainted with), stunning build and looks (insides too!), reliable service-free circuitry... I'll save my breath on the list and specs. Plus more.
There are pretty good reasons to table those $5,000 (or so) and prefer the Onkyo. It's not for nothing that the brand pioneered the sweet forward sound character in 70s' items like direct drive turntables, stereo-amps and 3-way speakers. It was the only international partner of best phono cartridge makers. Those lines discontinued, the identity stays in this digital era unit. For that matter, the quality phono stage feels fine amidst the CD/DVD/HDTV busy modules. Even if vynil is last on your mind, the thing won't hurt. It reflects the ideology by which the overall amazing pulsy rhythmic tasty hi-to-lowdown-balanced sound couples with those hi-tech 150 w.p.c. and "longword" 24 bit DACs.
It's the happy coupling you pay for. It's this that the competition lack. And it's this that makes speaker selection piece of cake - anything goes. HDTV and composite video ability of the Onkyo is another boon. Again, the brand makes the most of its warm colour temperature philosophy and comes up with actually bettering whatever comes in and goes out to the screen. The feature contradicts with thesis that direct video feed (bypassing a receiver) is best in home theatres.
To cut long story short, I can't help surrendering to Onkyo. Every stride the [...] make, I see no room to improve. Because I want my home theatre to reveal the material, not just connect to other zones or the Web (these are the last on MY mind). I also task the system with about impossible - to play vynil collection like American cartridges used to. Digital artifacts notwithstanding. Analog direct, 6-channel stereo of DPL modes. This machine serves it all up.
Reservations: They are meagre, but the money warrant everything. I still find the back panel a nightmare to commute, the remote an attention-grabber, the front a beaten-up path. Having spent little time with the machine, I actually can't make out whether it's matrix 6.1 or proper discreet 7.1 DTS-ES which - I know - alone is enough to scare wits out of an over-caucious non-buff. To reasure such, 6.1 come across as no different to 7.1 (or, for that matter, to 10.1 which some Lucasfilm guys custom-build).
Verdict: In use at medium to large dwellings it behaves every bit as good as the flagship model (which the local distributor frets to price even!). It heads the major-league name-brand hi-end class in terms of sound/visual appeal. It's humane on features (equalisation and DSP effects), terrific and consciencious on parts (the beauty transformers and caps!) and advanced on circuitry. Then, it will fly twice as dearer on elitist markets where sky is the limit (consider the contender's lot in Russia as the example).

NO HDMI upgrades.......2007-09-24
This flagship product was marketed as "future-proof". The world's first upgradable receiver. Well, Onkyo has offered only one upgrade card and has dropped the TX-NR1000 from it's current line up of products. Onkyo has never made an official announcement to it's customers, but they are not going to offer HDMI upgrades for this product. It was made with HDMI 1.0 (video, no audio) and that's how it stays. Apparently, when designing this "future-proof" design, they didn't allow for HDMI changes.
