For added convenience, the stereo FM radio can double as a clock radio with station presets, LCD display and telescopic antenna for clear reception; simply plug it into an electrical outlet (the AC adapter is included). Superior bass enhancement technology means you can enjoy quality bass without a subwoofer, and the input jack makes it a snap to connect a second device, including CD, DVD and MP3 players. There's even a composite video out for playing your videos and photos for iPod on most TVs, while the built-in iPod dock allows for quick and easy data transfer and recharge. Additionally, this model syncs and charges all dockable iPod models.
Lightweight and easy to move, the iM600 conveniently folds up to 11.0 x 6.0 x 1.7 inches (WxHxD), and weighs just over two pounds, so you can truly take it anywhere. It comes with a wireless remote and AC adapter, and is fully compatible with iPod models that have the alarm clock and sleep timer features.
Includes AC adapter and remote''''''

save your money!!!.......2007-11-03
I bought this system for my husband to use with his ipod. The sound quality was poor . . .really muddy, especially when the bass boost and "subwoofer" were enabled. I tried unplugging the sub woof and the sound was then tinny and poor. I ended up returning it to the store. We're still on the "hunt" for an economical but great sounding system . .. this wasn't worth it.
nice system.......2007-10-14
Got this for our 10yr old son. When I asked him what he thought he said AWESOME! Good sound, easy functioning. Everything all in one is what I like & the price at Amazon.
Don't buy this - Doesn't work.......2007-06-13
This product doesn't work i recieved it and when i turned it on i only could see the blue light from de LCD but no numbers and the CD Drive didn't open. I paid for it and now i have nothing to do because it passed more than 30 days and i cannot returned it..... Don't buy this.
Awesome sound!!.......2007-06-12
This little thing ROCKS!!! I just got it today and I am already in LOVE with it! Clear crisp sound, no problems here! I was somewhat concerned after reading some of the other reviews, but not anymore. This is a great little system for the money!
Instuctions please?.......2007-05-29
I was very dissappointed with the fact that i did not receive instructions for this complex system, i am still trying to figure out how to set the clock!! But to say a few other things about it; the cd and ipod plays well. As for starting up the radio, it's a joke. The antenna is just a string with nothing else to hold it up for a good reception so the radio is always fuzzy. The LCD screen i wish would turn off when you turn off the rest of the system, it is rather bright when trying to sleep. But i am glad to say that i do not have any hissing or beeping with me stereo.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Emerson iTone iE600BK Home Audio System is a compact, yet powerful home audio system featuring 25 watts RMS total output power, a built-in, 15-watt subwoofer to deliver optimum sound performance, and a digital clock/timer. The system also includes an integrated docking station right up front. For added convenience, you can play any iPod through the speakers of this system, charge the battery in your iPod, and even operate your iPod by the easy-to-operate remote control.

Extremely versatile and a breeze to operate, the iTone iE600BK features a top mounted CD player with 20-track programmable memory that handles CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and even CDs containing compressed MP3 audio files.

Such a deal...like I never saw..........2007-12-01
What surprise when I plugged my ipod in and got such great sound. I'm very picky about sound systems (not a big Bose fan) and I really liked this one.
Anyway, for this price it's a great value. Only one thing...the remote is just a little weird. I'd put up with that considering the bass response and that this is a cool looking machine!
Enjoy.
great for small spaces.......2007-10-20
we are enjoying our Itone. the sound quality is very nice and it works well with our IPOD.
Great Value .......2007-08-23
This docking station has a little bit of everything. It not only will play an IPOD but allow the user to connect an auxiliary device like the Roku Internet radio tuner, listen to CDs, and tune-in your favorite radio station. Do not expect the sound to approach that of a $2000 hifi. The reproduction is more than adequate for a small system. I highly recommend this unit for those who desire a docking station with reasonable sound quality and good features.
Good product for the price.......2007-08-20
I was looking for a speaker system for my iPod that would also play CD's and radio (which there aren't that many available) and this is a great price for all the functions. The sound is great, not quite as good as the Bose speakers but it is also much more affordable and has more functions so I think it is well worth the money. If you just want a speaker for your iPod this may not be what you are looking for, but if you want to basically replace your stereo system with one that has iPod capability I would recommend this system. No problems or issues with it, the black model looks great and fits nicely in the entertainment center. Very user friendly. The remote option is also a nice bonus. Would recommend to others.
Excellent item for normal expectations.......2007-08-12
I have an ipod (video, 80 GB) and tons of cd's.
This home audio System is not gonna blow your living room with decibels, but for a room, or a nice evening with some folks is a great deal.
The inner subwoofer works just fine, the ipod, radio and cd devices sounds clear and nice.
Beware of the ipod 5g generation adapter. It's not included (so you better keep the original ipod box with its adaptor). Although, the 4G adapter works (not recommended in the long shot).
The only downside is that the control don't navigate the entire ipod system. Just works for play/pause and to go forward and backwards between tracks. So you have to make some cool playlists.

Great for price.......2007-09-30
This machine is very handy and portable. The sound quality is somewhat lacking, but in this price range, I think this stereo is a good deal. I use it in the kitchen while cooking and take it outside while gardening. It charges your ipod and is fairly user friendly. The design is the sleekest on the market.
Horrible battery life + less than average sound = not overly impressed.......2007-09-14
I bought this for a new bathroom that doesn't have an electrical outlet near the shower. The selling point for me was that it has the option to run on batteries--six AAs for normal use, plus two more for backup features. The sound it produces is about what you'd expect for an $80 all-in-one, and it clunky and cheap. Radio reception is not impressive. The deal-breaker for me, though, was how it drains the batteries: I used this primarily during my morning showers and the batteries died within three weeks. Thus my search continues for the perfectly portable iPod speaker system.
Great iPod FM/AM Radio and Alarm Clock.......2007-08-13
I enjoy my new Emerson iP500WH player. It is has great features: set Alarm Clock to use iPod, remote can be used to set Alarm, change songs on iPod, and set AM/FM radio stations and change the stations with the remote. It is perfect for the kitchen, bedroom, or for just relaxing outside on the porch.
Only bad feature is that you can't change between different artists with the remote. You have to change it manually by hand.
Overall, if you are looking for something relatively cheap with great features and sound, then this is the product for you.
Great ipod speakers.......2007-07-19
We were exceedingly pleased with the sound quality and mechanics. Love them! And we're picky about our tunes.
Does the job.......2007-04-12
I bought this to use in my kitchen and have had no problems with it at all. I like that it doesnt take up too much space. I know the sound isn't the best on the market but for the price I think it does quite well. I was only conserned with having music while I cook and the iTone does just that.

good stuff.......2007-01-19
this combo radio and ipod player is great. has decent sound and has a considered design that looks good while working.
Excellent for entire family.......2007-01-10
Yes my husband purchased one for me and I absolutely love it. It functions as an alarm clock as well as a docking station and radio. My kids liked it so that he bought four more. My kids are between the ages of 10 and 5 and they dock their ipods and set their alarm and I have more troubles with them waking in the morning for school. God Bless Emerson.
Decent system..........2006-08-14
Recieved this speaker system for my Ipod 30G video. The unit is very small and looks nice. The display is bright and easy to read. It's a simple system that plays your Ipod's music or tunes in FM or AM radio. I haven't used the wall mount kit so I can't comment on that.
Pro's: Small in size, looks great, FM and AM radio comes in very clear, lots of preset stations.
Con's: No bass or treble settings, Ipod does not lock into unit very securely-it docks in but never seems fully secure while attached to unit, the controls can play, stop, FF, or RR your Ipod's current playlist or album but if you want to switch playlists or albums you'll have to manually set it up on the Ipod.
Overall- it's a decent system but really needs an equilizer, a more secure dock for the Ipod, and full control over the Ipod.
Convenient mount makes kitchen use easy.......2006-06-01
I bought this for my kitchen to mount under our cabinets. It works well for the space and is easy to use. Installation was okay - we had to reinstall twice to make the mount work correctly.
Pros:
Good sound for my mid-sized kitchen. The sound is clear and easy to here even in another room.
Remote is convenient and easy to use.
Under cabinet mount gets the unit up and off my counter top so I don't have to worry about getting the unit wet.
The unit can be removed quite easily and used on battery when needed.
Cons:
When my iPod (30) is sitting in the cradle it does not seem stable - it is very loose so I am worried about the mount connection becoming damaged. I don't know if another size iPod would be more stable.
The FM antennae is a wire that is screwed into the back (can be removed) so it is inconvenient to move with the unit.
The unit can be snapped back and out of the way and the clasp is not as strong as it should be - if we bump the unit it will fall down easily.
Overall I am satisfied with this product. As you can see from my review, the Pros outweigh the cons for me.

Emerson Radio sells defective products!.......2007-05-22
I received Emerson's iP100 as a Christmas gift and within two weeks, the power button would not turn the radio off and the radio no longer played or powered my iPod. I returned the radio, paying $8.50 in shipping costs which were never reimbursed, and received a second radio after a month and a half. Within one and a half weeks, the second radio broke in the exact same manner as the first. Yet, when I contacted Emerson to receive a refund for their defective product, they told me they do not give refunds. Now I can either return my radio for another defective radio, wasting time and money, or I can simply lose $60 on my purchase and forget the whole ordeal. I will never again buy any product with the name Emerson Radio.
Horrible Hiss!.......2007-04-21
Got 3 of these at a store grand opening for under $20 each. They're not even worth that! The hissing is horrible, and you can't wake to your iPod! They're going back to the store tomorrow.
DO NOT BUY.......2007-03-20
Don't Buy this... The Hissing from the speakers is terrible. I only had it on for 2 minutes...
WASTE OF MONEY!! There are 20 Dollar units that sound better than this one!!
Piece of JUNK!.......2007-03-13
Well in fact piece of junk is giving it a compliment. Bought one this weekend, and the buttons already have stopped working, and I have to hit them several times simply to get any output at all, if you want to call a constant hissing sound output. I can not even listen to it at work (which is what I intended because the sound is so distracting and the piercing screech is mind numbing. DO NOT BUY!!!! Please spend the extra money, I assure you that you will find purchasing the iHome much more useful and you will not spend the extra money in gas to take this JUNK back to the store.
Bad product!.......2007-03-08
I only give one star because it won't allow me to give zero. I thought this would be great - not a large profile, listen to the radio, have my alarm and dock my iPod! What more could I ask for? How about a dock that actually took my iPod so I could hear it out of both speakers without actively pressing down on the top of it or speakers that didn't buzz constantly, messing with my music? I bought two (one for me, one as a gift) and sent them both BACK!

iPod on my stereo!.......2007-12-23
I use this device to connect my iPod to my home stereo system. I have a 30GB iPod full of music and the artist and song lists only took about two minutes to download. When the remote-iPod sync is complete the remote displays the artist and song currently playing and you can control your iPod from anywhere in your house. The remote also allows you to access and adjust the iPod EQ settings and control the volume so you won't need separate remote to control your stereo. And the remote operates on a radio frequency, so it works from every corner of my house. The biggest drawback for me is the lack of album information -- the remote just displays artist and song -- so if you have multiple albums by the same artist it can take a bit of extra clicking to find what you are looking for. But overall I'm very satisfied with this product -- the remote offers much more functionality than the standard Apple Universal Dock system.
JUNK.......2007-12-14
I bought this item in June '07. Right out of the box it didn't work. I returned it for a replacement, which didn't last 6 months. Amazon needs to stop selling this product.
Jason .......2007-12-05
Ordered this item twice from Amazon and once from bestbuy, so far all 3 are now non-functional. Buttons become very insensitive after 2-3 weeks. Remote also has a tendency to do a hard fail, which requires a hard reset. This worked several times until the unit failed completely. The first docking station had a faulty audio port. Overall I liked the concept it seems that the manufacturers quality just does not cut it. Heavily recommend using a different remote.
Suckered!.......2007-11-20
I just arrived back in Ireland after buying this device in Florida and I hate everything about it. It tells me it's out of range when it's right beside the docking unit. It can't handle the number of artists I have on my iPod (almost 1,000). If it's designed for the nano or iTouch, it should say so on the pack, because it doesn't work adequately with an 80-gig Classic. I feel suckered and cheated (though at least with the exchange rate, it didn't cost much in euro). All I wanted was a simple remote to tee up the next song in a chosen playlist. Once again, I've bought a device scuppered by complexity, when simplicity was all that was required.
Great for very small music collections.......2007-11-08
I had been eyeing the Keyspan Tuneview for months, but decided to hold out for another system. When DLO released this device I decided to pull the trigger. After purchasing it and getting everything hooked up (which was easy), I could not get the iPod to synch with HomeDock. After trying every trouble shooting tip in the manual and trying a few of my own, I decided to email DLO to find out if I just had a defective system. Turns out you can only synch upto 50 playlists and 200 artists. I exceeded the artists by about 3X. I do appreciate DLO getting back to me so I could return the system. Hopefully they will increase the memory very soon. I decided to write a review so others understand the limitations... and DLO decides to improve their product.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Sharp i-Elegance line of docking speaker systems turns your personal iPod into a stereo jukebox for all your friends and family to enjoy. Compatible with every iPod that incorporates a 30-pin dock connector, the system plays and charges your iPod simultaneously, making it easy to enjoy your favorite tunes whether lounging on the patio or cooking in the kitchen. The i-Elegance is equipped with a pair of front-firing, full-range speakers and two side-firing subwoofers, which combine to produce crisp, crystal-clear highs and mids and a deep, powerful bass performance. Adding to the audio versatility is a six-step electronic equalizer that customizes the sound based on the music genre, along with an E-sound mode that improves the quality of compressed digital sound. The latter feature is great for digital music formats, as it reverses the deterioration that results from compression technologies by enhancing the sound frequency spectrum and increasing the sound pressure.
The i-Elegance also includes a digital AM/FM tuner that picks up all your favorite stations, with 32 station presets for quick and efficient tuning. The built-in alarm, meanwhile, lets you wake to your favorite iPod selections or a buzzing alarm (other alarm options include a sleep timer and a programmed shutoff mode). And users will love the system's compact remote control, which lets them control all the functions of the i-Elegance from across the room. Additional details include an RCA video output jack for connecting the system to a TV or monitor, an auxiliary input for connecting an MP3 player or personal CD player, and an easy-to-read fluorescent display.
The i-Elegance system measures 15.75 by 5.75 by 9.88 inches (W x H x D), weighs 9.5 pounds, and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews:
Great looking - so so sound.......2007-08-16
My title sums it up. The Altec Lansing InMotion has better sound, but does cost more. So price wise this is a decent buy for the money.
Great sound then unit broke in 100 days.......2007-01-14
Loved the sound, design, cost and one day speakers just stopped working. Charging continued to work. No way to fix it. Called iLuv and emailed them with no response.
Great Speaker Great Price!.......2007-01-04
I bought this speaker system for my desk at work and its perfect! The price was unmatched anywhere - most systems cost much more. The system is small and attractive and is perfect for my office space.
Cheap-price and quality.......2006-11-10
Great price, speakers are worse than my laptop's built-in speakers. It is probably worth saving an extra month to get better quality.
Decent Product for the Price.......2006-09-29
I wanted a small docking station for my iPod that didn't cost as much or more than the iPod itself. This station was perfect for my needs. It's small, the sound is good and it takes up very little space. Sometimes it can be a little staticy if you touch the iPod while it's docked, but if you leave it alone, and let it play, it'll suit your needs.
