Hey, it's Bauer what's going on, and I got an iPod Dock here.
A Special iPod Dock, a very fancy and sophisticated iPod Dock.
It's the Pure-Fi Dream from Logitech and this adds
a few features such as, Clock Radio, AM/FM Tuner,
it's got a couple of Alarm Functions on it,
and it's great coz you can control your iPod completely,
from this Remote Control, that comes along with it.
Now I'll show you how that works in just a second.
It does have some cool stuff going on. It's got these,
Auto-Dimming and Motion-Sensing Controls,
On the top of this thing, it actually has light sensors and
motion sensors, so that when your hand,
comes close to it, or when you're in the dark,
it will automatically adjust the back lighting,
on the machine and will automatically turn it on,
when your hand gets within range of it,
which is kinda cool. It's got 2 Navigation Wheels,
on the top. This one over here, controls your volume,
this one over here is for scanning and also acts,
as an interbutton as well. It has 2 Alarm Modes,
so you can set two different times for the alarm.
And this button allows you to set the clock,
and this is of course your snooze button.
Also, it does have presets over here.
These presets can be used to set up your preset AM/FM stations.
But the other thing that's cool about these presets,
is that you can set these to your favorite playlists,
on your iPod, so you can quickly get to all of your favorite playlists,
which is handy to say the least, especially when you are trying
to navigate with this remote control, that comes along with it.
It also has physical buttons down here for repeat and shuffle,
so you can quickly enter the repeat and shuffle modes.
And one of the other cool things is it does show all your,
track information right here on this screen.
So once you hit play, you'll see that it comes to life,
and all your track information is displayed. It also has,
an equalizer view, you can look at the clock,
and it's very easy to navigate. You simply use this,
little navigational pad, that's on here and
you can quickly scan through all of your music on your iPod,
without having to even get up. A lot of Docks,
don't have that kind of functionality.
So that makes this one, pretty cool actually.
The other thing that's cool about this. I'm gonna show you
how this works, is setting up these presets for your playlist.
It's very very simple. You can do it from the remote,
or you can do it from the device.
You simply press and hold the preset that you wanna set,
so we'll press and hold the number 1 right here,
and you'll see it beeps and the accessory screen,
pops up on the iPod. Down here, you'll see actually
your different playlists, will be listed at the bottom.
Well, I just too hold, too long to get to that cell.
You press and hold the button your playlists appear.
You choose which playlist. You wanna choose it because,
I only have 2 on this. You hit select and
that is your new playlist. There you go.
So now that whenever you hit 1, that playlist is,
gonna pop up. So you can literally program,
any of your playlists to any of these quick access buttons,
and be able to easily get to all your music,
with just a remote control. Now it does come with,
a ton of adaptors, it comes with about, I wanna say,
8 or 9 different adaptors, for every single type of iPod,
all the way back to the original iPod. Nano and
the iPod Mini, so you won't have any problem,
making sure your iPod works with this device.
It does have an Auxiliary Input on the back, right here.
so that you can also plug other devices in,
as you can see right there. You can plug in any other
MP3 players that don't have iPod Docks into this device as well.
Of course, you won't have the ability to control it,
with the remote, like you can with the iPod, but it's still nice
to be able to hook up other devices into these speakers.
It also will charge your iPod or your iPhone as well,
through the Dock connector. So it makes for a very nice home,
for your iPod or your iPhone when you are at home,
coz it charges and allows you to access your music,
through these very nice speakers.
Now it does actually have good sounding speakers actually,
and it can easily fill a room with the sound from this device so,
it's a solid, solid, multifunctional iPod Dock,
that's gonna allow you to listen to the radio, listen to
your iPod, listen to any of your other devices and
of course it also has this snooze funtion on the remote so,
you actually never have to get out of bed. You can sleep through
your alarm, every single day, and never even have to move
your arm. Isn't that great. So this is a solid, solid Dock.
Go check it out. It's the Logitech Pure-Fi Dream,
so you never have to get off the couch to,
control your iPod, ever again.
