Chestnut Hill Sound George Digital Music System for the iPod
If you're looking for an all-in-one iPod music system Chestnut Hill's George wants to meet you. Don't let George's compact size fool you; brilliant audio and the smart design of the ergonomic remote provide an audio experience like no other. Five speakers ensure rich, crystal clear sound that breathes life back into your MP3s while the wireless remote lets you control your music library from up to 30' away. The backlit LCD screen mimics the iPod menu structure, freeing you up from having to walk across the room to check your player's display when you want to make a change. In addition, updatable software ensures a life product life for George and compatibility with future iPods.
The bandless radio provides easy tuning up and down the dial. The radio also boasts room for 24 AM and FM preset stations to be stored together, archived according to genre or interest. Other features include an impressive alarm clock system with dual and one-time programmable alarms, nap and sleep timers, alternate volume control and more. The DST function enables your clock to automatically change time with day light savings. Customizing options will blend the unit and remote into your home or office decor with different colored panels and grills.
- iPod Compatibility
- George is fully compatible with all click wheel and later docking iPods; including the new classic, touch and iPhone. Updatable software ensures long life and compatibility with future iPods. You can search and control your entire music library using the wireless remote while your iPod charges in the dock. The shuffle and all other iPod models are compatible via the AUX jack minus the ability to be charged or fully controlled with the remote.
- Wireless LCD Remote Displays iPod Menu
- George's unique wireless remote features a 30' radius and a backlit LCD display that displays the menu and controls of your iPod, meaning no more walking across the room to your iPod when you want to change songs. This ergonomic and functional control provides you with a an easy-to-use dial that you turn for song and radio selections. Other distinct buttons make handling the 24 presets, volume control, hyper-search music library function and alarm controls a breeze from no matter where you are in the room. The optional charging stand lets you keep the remote where you use it most such as on your nightstand or coffee table.
- Updatable Software & Future iPod Compatibility
- Frequent updates provide new software and hardware update options. This means George will be able to work with future iPods, ensuring the long life of the system and enabling you to enjoy the quality and clarity of George even after you move onto the latest iPod version.
- 5 Speaker System
- Chestnut Hill boasts a five speaker system that covers highs and lows resulting in more well-rounded and natural audio. The four 2-way coaxial stereo speakers work with the 4" subwoofer for dynamic sound from a relatively small system. For optimal listening, utilize the remote and be in front of your George instead of off to the side for a room-filling experience.
- Bandless Radio with 24 Presets
- Because this system uses bandless radio there is no switching back and forth between AM and FM bands. The large dial turns all the way up and down the frequency band providing you with equally exceptional FM and AM sound. The 24 preset options can be saved on either end of the spectrum as well, giving you the freedom to mix things up. Four pages of preset menus allow for saving stations according to genre or interest as well, making storing and retrieving your favorites easier than ever.
- Programmable Alarm System
- The alarm system covers all the bases with a dual or one time programmable alarm, nap and sleep timers, and volume control options. Set the song or radio station you want to wake up to and forget about it. When the remote is placed near your bedside, you can eliminate having to get up to turn off or hit the snooze. The clock is also DST enabled, meaning that the time will update automatically for day light savings.
- Customize Your George
- Various panels and grills are available to help George fit into your home or office decor. You can even customize the remote.

Comments about Chestnut Hill Sound George Digital Music System for the iPod:
I am using the George Music System with my iPod Touch 4th generation. The sound for this system is excellent. It sounds like a big stero! It says it charges the iPod but it has not charged mine after a week of playing. I am not sure why. Set up is easy and controls are top notch. I think there should be a user manual that tells more about the system. I do not see an "on" "off" switch anywhere. The remote does not fit well in the cradle. Besides all of that, it is a very good sound system.

Comments about Chestnut Hill Sound George Digital Music System for the iPod:
We were looking for a cheap and easy way of playing music from our ipods and laptops remotely, and the George has given us exactly what we're looking for in a small, sleek package. The detachable interface allows us to browse our ipods from bed, and we've been very impressed with the sound quality, especially the powerful bass. The primary complaint so far is that the docking station that powers the remote control is a bit flimsy--the remote falls out of it easily, and we find we have to adjust it often in order to power the remote.

Comments about Chestnut Hill Sound George Digital Music System for the iPod:
This is a great bookshelf system; the best iPod dock on the market in terms of sound quality and ease of use. The sound is better than most other docks I've tested, but the best part about this system is the remote control, which lets you control every function on your iPod from across the room. You literally never have to touch the iPod once it's docked, which means you can put the system anywhere. If you want amazing sound you don't want a dock anyway; if you want decent sound, compact size and convenience this is the product for you!

Comments about Chestnut Hill Sound George Digital Music System for the iPod:
This is the third docking ipod player I have purchased. I have the Bose Sounddock and a portable Harmon Karmen. The George is great. The remote is the best feature of all. It is so nice to have it in its separate docking station across the room from the actual unit. The fact that the screen shows the same as an ipod screen makes it much more versatile to use. The sound from the George is very good. The digital radio and alarms make this an excellent replacement for a bedside clock. The set up online took a few minutes but was pretty easy to do. I highly recommend this product and B & H. [...]

Comments about Chestnut Hill Sound George Digital Music System for the iPod:
I looked at the Bose system and everything else out there for docking my iPod. The bit that drove me nuts was not being able to see what I was selecting or being able to navigate my iPod. My wife also wanted to be able to listed to the radio. The George was the best of all worlds, not to mention the great sound. I would have given it 5 stars if they would have offered the George with the wood side panels and different grill options when ordering the initial unit. The all over white and body with silver grills are fine, but I purchased the Walnut upgrade kit which makes it look much more high-end. Would have been nice having this all at one time in one package. Oh, and when the battery connection wasn't happening on the remote properly, someone from George called me (during Xmas time) to correct the problem. Cool system, great options and you can't beat the remote with any other system at the moment.

Comments about Chestnut Hill Sound George Digital Music System for the iPod:
What I like is the clear and well-balanced sound. It is fantastic. The remote and the way the music can be shuffle around with the Ipod is also fantastic. However, what I don't like is the not-too-fantastic design. It is just too plain. Also, it is too heavy and bulky too travel with. In addtion, the remote should last more time on your hands before it has to be recharged.
