FANTASTIC !!!
By Hans R. Frey
This is simply the best sound i've ever heard from any of those sooo many Ipod boomboxes. My JBL Radial "High Performance" went straight to my kids after hearing the sound of this unit. If you want the best sound possible and love to watch Musicvideos or Podcasts from your nighttable, this is the unit to get. There is no alternative. I was lucky to get mine from amazon for 278.99 . (they keep moving the price) This is cheaper than the Bose unit and in my opinion a total no-brainer. The screen i would rate "above average" compared to the 8-9 inch range of DVD Players out there. The only thing i wish i could do is playing the music videos from my Iphone. But i assume with a firmware upgrade, Apple will eventually enable a video out.Also onscreen Ipod Navigation would have been nice. When you play just music, it would have been nice to see the artwork on the screen. But all you see is an altec Lansing sign accross the screen. Remote works very well from a good distance. Overall this unit is very well built. Nice shiny black cabinet similar to the Playstation 3update december 2007: There is a reason Amazon is selling this unit below 250.00. It is NOT compatible with the 6th Generation Ipod classic , Iphone and I touch, works only for the music but not for the Video. if you are the lucky owner of the 5th and 5.5 gen Ipod this unit is great, for all new ipods Apple has made this unit (the screen at least) useless as they disabled the video out. Very poor from Apple !!!

BEWARE!
By Terry Coffing
Not compatible with the ipod classic. I called Altec Lansing and they confirmed this fact. Unfortunately it is not mentioned in any of the instructions or materials. Very disappointed. To return it I pay a 20% restocking fee.

Great device, minimal compatibility with iPod Classic
By M. E. Allen-Gifford
The Altec Lansing iMV712 is a quality product that produces exactly what you'd expect when used with the iPod (generation 5.5 - video, photo, music, podcast playback capabilities). When used with the newer "iPod Classic," this device is essentially nonfunctional. Audio playback is possible until the battery is charged. Video playback is NOT POSSIBLE through the standard docking function -- HOWEVER, it IS POSSIBLE through the external composite video cord (NOT the component video cord) available for purchase for 50 dollars at the online Apple Store. I have used this device with a great deal of success with my 160 GB iPod Classic, though only after I realized you have to specifically ENABLE video out capability - it does not allow for this function automatically, you must go through "Video Settings" to make the necessary change. Many of you longtime iPod users may already know this, but I did not. Back to the Altec Lansing iMV712 - good picture and sound quality, bigger than most people expect (check the Amazon.com dimensions, they are accurate enough), and through the rear inputs, excellent compatibility with other devices such as the iPod Classic, presumably the iPod touch, the Zune, as well as the latest offerings from Archos and Creative. Multiple options for video and audio input make this a solid choice for the present and near future. Despite the lack of compatibility with my iPod Classic, I can say with certainty there is no device I'd prefer for my situation now that I have it hooked up using the composite video cable.
