It froze on you. You have to press both center and up arrow buttons together and hold for about 10-12 seconds. Once done, it will reset and work fine afterward. Hope this helps you, and that you still have the ipod.

Esteban thanks a bunch!!!! I looked everywhere because my ipod was too loud and the radio wasn't working. After I pressed the center and up arrow (menu) button for 12 seconds everything worked!!! I thought I had a bad ipod!! THANKS

Yes, the same thing happened to me this evening. My iPod Nano worked fine last night, and tonight it's doa.

during set up, how was the volume set in your computer/pad/phone? i control the volume in my setup, from my iPad. i believe that i too had that issue, and my son enlightened me. i may also have incorrectly set up the blue tooth. certainly glad my son is patient... because i have only been retired from being a computer programmer for over 30 years, would have hoped that i would have been able to set up a small speaker on my own!

Yes I have had the same problem. I think that it has to do with the AUX music device it's hooked up to, phone, iPod etc.... I haven't had it do that when I've used the built in radio. I believe if you go into the volume control of the device your using there should be a setting for that. Hope that helps�

I tried three docks and each one of them had a static noise that was very annoying in certain songs. Now, I don't understand when you say that ipod, connected to the aux, doesn't make any static noise? My sansa player or a laptop doesn't produce any static noise in my earphones or other speakers but it does on this dock. So, it must be the AUX port on this dock that is not functioning properly.

I would troubleshoot the device first....try using a different USB port first to make sure it's not just a faulty USB port...If it still doesn't work the device may be defective.....Also make sure your IPod is working because it might be the IPod that's defective and not the charging dock. Good luck

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

I don't know - this unit stopped working last year. It was my son's and we found the volume was just automatically go from whatever setting to zero after about 30 seconds of playing. And you couldn't get the volume to change unless you powered it off & on again. BTW, he just got a iPod Touch 5th gen - and he loves it.

I have the same problem. I'm using an iPod touch and the charging quit. It plays fine, but the WiFi quits without the charger running, so my connection to internet radio drops after about 20 minutes or so.

Try turning the receiver off before you remove the iPod, and leaving it off before you plug it back in. This might resolve the problem.

You may have already done this but make sure the volume on the device you are playing (iPod or whatever)is at maximum level.Hope this helps.

Ours stopped working correctly in the first month we had it. My son uses it as speakers only...turns up volume through his ipod.

I don't recall having to do anything to get mine to work properly to begin with but 8 months latermy ipod classic will not work at all with it. So far I haven't found anyone else having this problem and I haven't gotten in touch with pioneer to see what's going on. I'm wondering if my cable is the problem now?

The volume is controlled by your phone or tablet. The speaker just has on/off. I use mine playing music from my tablet with bluetooth. I have not tried using my ipod with the direct plug yet.

Are you using the on board cable down in the very right hand corner of the unit? I plug my apple ipod in with that cable, hit the audio in button on top right of unit, and turn volume up all the way on the ipod and pretty high on the unit. Good luck

Could be: any part of the power cord may have been dislodged, dead battery charge if you're trying to use it without the power cable, or perhaps (this happened to me a few times when I first got it) the ipod didn't respond to the speaker for some unknown reason. After tinkering with it for a few minutes I got it to work again and it hasn't happened since. Or also you may have gotten a lemon. Hope you get it figured out because it is a decent piece of hardware.

Sometimes there is a fuse inside. Was the speaker clipping too much? That could cause to blow. If using the ipod feature on high volumes or the usb, it can become dislodged

I bought a similar model and although I didn't have a volume issue the device stopped charging after less than 3 months...sorry this happened to u...item seems to be a loser for all of us...
