- Good points:
- I love the way it looks and sounds. Listening to music via ipod is a brilliant feature.
- Bad points:
- ipod menu on tv screen could make it easier to pick songs. I have many songs and it takes a while to get to the latter end of the alphabet! Wouldn't stop me purchasing this system though.
