I like to assemble audio and video components, so I don't get these all-in-one systems, specially when they try to do it all, like this Akai AISS010. There's nothing left out of this unit:

- Docks and charges iPod
- Compatible with CD/ DVD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3/WMA/VCD/JPEG/DIVX/MPEG4
- AM/FM radio with digital readout
- HDMI 1080P
- Supports USB and card audio playing
- Built-in DVD player
- LCD clock display
- Composite video, S-video, Y, Cb, Cr video output
- Supports all iPods
- Digital coaxial & optical audio output
- VFD Multi-function display
- Automatic age lock and screen protection function
- Remote control unit
- 2.1 + 1 track power output (double sub-woofer)
- 4" x 4 + 5" x2 bass speaker 40w + 20w*2 (RMS 10% THD)

Still, I'm sure some people will find this $1,000 unit useful. [Audion via Gizmodo Australia]
