Due to a recent change in Apple iTunes software, the Nano 3G and the iPod Classic will no longer broadcast a video signal to the Video 55 when docked in the docking connector.
With Apples software change, the only way to view video on any existing video player, including the Video 55, is to purchase Apples iPod Composite Video Cable, available at Apple retail stores and Apple online at: http://store.apple.com
The cable would be used by plugging one end into the 30-pin plug on the iPod or Nano and the other end into the AV In plug on the side of the Video 55.
Please note that this software change by Apple does not affect the ability to play music from the iPod or Nano through the Video 55 speakers. Previous versions of the iPod are not affected by this change. All previous versions that have video capability can play video through the Video 55 when docked.

5 of 5 Sonic Impact Portable Video iPod Player w/ 7" Thursday, June 26, 2008
A Customer from Atlanta GA
I am very happy with the Sonic Impact Portable Video iPod Player w/ 7" LCD for the price. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Great product at a great price! Wednesday, June 25, 2008
A Customer from White Plains, N.Y.
The unit shipped from Buy.com had a bad battery, so I contacted the manufacturer. It took almost 6 weeks, but I got the replacement battery and the product works great. The battery holds up for at least 3+ hours and works perfectly with my Ipod. I don't know if I'd pay $200 for it, but, for $39 it's a fantastic buy. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 A huge value when I bought it! Awesome player! Wednesday, June 18, 2008
A Customer from Edgewater NJ
I purchased this item from Buy.com when they were running an amazing sale price. What a steal!!!
I have a 5th generation 60 gig black Ipod and it integrates flawlessly with the video player. The product does everything as described. The unit is well built with good fit and finish. Even comes with a compact remote that docks into the player and can be completely hidden. Another thoughtful item included was a felt carrying bag. Battery life is respectable. I'm hoping it'll improve after a couple of charge cycles. Sound is surprisingly good for the speaker size. My only gripe is that the resolution is not as good as I hoped but that may have more to do with the resolution that I ripped videos at. Another small issue is the color of the LCD screen. Even at the highest setting, colors overall were not that vibrant. With enough tweaking though I was able to get a pretty decent picture. At the price that it was purchased though I can't complain.
I recently took it on a business trip and it was a joy to have on the plane. I'll never get on a plane again without this video player. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Unbelievably cool! Tuesday, June 03, 2008
Call me satisfied from Hutto, Texas
I can sympathize with those who bought this product to work with a newer iPod only to find it would not work. That said, for our older 30G iPod, this is the coolest thing since sliced bread! This is way better for us than dragging a pile of DVDs in the van when it's time for a long drive, and the quality is about even (and it's not as though the kids care that much about compression artifacts, which occasionally appear).
I am most impressed by the quality and volume of sound from this device. I did not expect that kind of volume, leave alone the bass response. Mind you, this isn't THX we're talking about, but from a device this size that's WAY more sound than I would ever have guessed
And the best part was that I got free shipping, and it still arrived THE NEXT DAY! (it shipped from near Dallas, and we're only 200 miles from there). Buy.com really impressed me this time. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great companion for my ipod Tuesday, June 03, 2008
Marj from Castro Valley, CA
I wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased this item since reviews had ran the gamut from exciting to alarming. However, for the price, I thought it was worth the gamble. I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!
Some specs, I've used this with a 30gb 5th gen ipod video. Simple config changes on the ipod video setting (no additional h/w required) and voila - we're in business.
I wish I had bought 2. Was this review helpful?

1 of 5 If only it worked Thursday, May 29, 2008
A Customer from Bakersfield, CA
Buy.com exceeded my expectations once again by having this to me in 2 days. Too bad Sonic Impact couldn't hold up it's end of the bargain. The unit was DOA. Since I bought it with no return privileges to Buy.com I've had to contact the manufacturer directly for service. They call it "customer service", but I have yet to receive any service. I have sent a total of 4 service requests in the past 2 weeks and have yet to hear from Sonic Impact. If the unit worked I probably would have rated much higher. It looks good, and appears to have a great interface. But, again, it didn't work. Buy.com is awesome!! Sonic Impact doesn't! I'll probably never buy from Sonic Impact again. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Sonic Impact Video Ipod Player rocks! Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Bounce Dawg from Los Angeles
Upon reviewing the specs for this unit I was expecting the product to be sound and worth the price paid. Let me tell you, after pulling the unit from its box, I instantly feel in love with it. Well designed housing, sleek looking and sturdy. I further evaluated the player and was extremely impressed with its sound and overall function. If you have an older version of i-tunes on your machine, this product is perfect for you. The video rendering software for PSP movies will work with this unit and the older versions of i-tunes will sync the movies no problem. I have had zero problems and no trouble getting movies to play on this player. The video quality is not bad at all for a portable player, but the sound will stand out most. For the few dollars I paid for this, I feel like a criminal. I bought another one just to have a back up! Great product, more so if you know what you're doing. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 I love this thing....... Sunday, May 25, 2008
Ericka Hale from Rinard IL
I got this for taking on vacation this summer in the car for my kids, but I wound up loveing it myself. I like that I can watch my movies on my 80gb ipod without haveing to squint. I keep it in the car so when I'm waiting on the kids to get out of school or ball practice its there. I also take it in and watch movies while waiting for my kids to get done at dr apts. ive used it at home when i wanted to watch something and dh didnt. over all i wish now I'd orderd 2 of them incase this one breaks. Either way, its a great item. I highly recommend it. Was this review helpful?
