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]
