This will not work without being plugged into an iPhone. Also, not all iPhones are supported such as the newer ones with the smaller plug.

Not sure I understand. You can still use the iPod's controls when the receiver is plugged in. Does that help?

No, it requires power. Also it is OS dependent. For example it worked fine on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 (I think), but when I upgraded to 7, it stopped working. Apple stopped allowing devices to draw power from the iphone. My guess is that it is the same with the ipod touch. The interface is based on the iOS. There is neither a battery, nor controls on the HD receiver, nor a speaker, though there probably is a headphone jack regarding controles there is one exception. There is a control for tune tagging. So read carefully.

nope. the best way is via a computer. even using the standalone device isn't as effective (at least to me, others may have different opinions). they do have a device for the iPhone though. check out their website.

The device does have a standard 1/8" inch Stereo headphone jack in the back, near the power jack. This will allow any device with a standard headphone Stereo output jack to connect to it. The drawback is that with the remote control that comes with it, the remote will only then allow you to change the volume of the pipes. It will not allow to control the Media Device as you can do with an IPOD touch, you need to use the 30 pin connector on top of the pipes. Otherwise any device with a stereo output can be utilized with a Double ended male(plug) stereo plug (Female=jack/Male=plug) I tend to use a 1 - 2 foot long cable to keep it from getting tangled up, but you can use a 6 footer if you don't want the pipes close to you when jacking up the sound, it will pound your ears from the volume. Incidentally, the remote is one of the toughest devices I have seen around, it will with stand a full washing with bleach and full drying at high (in the pocket of my jeans, twice).

Hi.The controller can be turned on without having it plugged in the USB cable. The rechargeable battery allows independent operation. Regards

Even though I don't have an ipod, I can confidently say "no" because this TDK Life on Record 2-speaker boombox doesn't come with a remote control. However, we've owned it for nearly a year now and we still love it like the day we bought it. It really rocks!

Yes it is very easy you can also use the remote that the stereo comes with to control you Ipods volume and change tracks etc.., I use my Ipod and my Smart phone with it and it works great.

No, for that you need to buy a converter , but the converter will not allow to control your i pod/ phone with remote

It wont work on it's own with an iPad, but if you have a supported computer to use it with (and a Serato DJ license) you can download Serato Remote and use it for extra contol of the software. You can read more about Remote over here - http://serato.com/remote

There is no remote control. But, the control panel on the radio does control the ipod. You can surf playlists, play and pause songs, etc. You can also control an external hard drive or thumb drive the same way. I'm still happy with the unit, use it daily.

Yes. The remote can control the iPod; play/pause, next/previous song, repeat and shuffle options, etc.

If the output to the device is a television you could still control it from your TV without turning the knob. Essentially all you would need to do is crank up the device to an appropriate level and the TV will act as the master audio control. Again, you TV must have audio out jacks.

You can connect your computer through a USB cord or you can use the iPod doc without connecting to a computer. So, yes, the system can be set up to "stand alone" as an iPod docking system. It works superbly either way.

It is possible to hook it up to an Ipod.. You just have to purchase the correct Interface Cable I have an older ipod and I just searched for the correct Interface Cable for my type of ipod. you then can control the ipod from the stero

Yes. You can use your iPod or iPhone to select/control the music; OR you can do it through the radio; OR with the included remote.

I'm pretty sure you can. I had an iPod hooked up to it and it worked. The remote changed the songs on the iPod. It works very well when I'm idleing and have my jet ski anchored out on the river or island.

You give up control which is a real problem. The head unit takes over totally and the controls on the ipod no longer work. This is a significant problem because it is nearly impossible to navigate thru the ipod using the head unit. The ipods internal control are infinitely better. I would not buy this product again because of this oversight. The SD27 left the ipod alone. I might switch back. I am using a ipod classic 160.
