I bought one of these yesterday. It is the new version that has a 4:3 selection. That works just fine. BUT the bigger issue is that this box will not play ANY 16:9 standard Apple formatted file properly. You cannot download an iTunes wide screen video (wide screen TV, for example) and fill the screen. The unit really wants a 4:3 anamorphic file which is not an Apple standard. So whether you hack a movie with Handbrake or download one from iTUnes, if it is widescreen it will not play properly. Every widescreen movie will be smashed with black bars above and below.
This is to be expected for movies with a 2.35 aspect ratio. But for movies with a 1.85 aspect ratio, they should fill this screen. They will not. I am returning my unit since Sonic is apparently not going to warrant this engineering flaw under their 1 year warranty.

I bought a refurb from another vendor for forty bucks. I’d read about the aspect-ration problems , and had taken heart in reports that the problem had been fixed. Perhaps it has, but not, alas, for my unit. The output’s incorrect for 16:9 videos. Turn fullscreen (widescreen) on in your iPod, and it letterboxes the output, flattening the picture terribly. Turn fullscreen off, and the image fills the screen, but it’s STILL squished vertically, and cut off at the side, too, I think.
Do I want to rerip my videos to work with this idiotic machine? I doubt it. I’ll either put up with it, send the unit back whence it came, or, most likely, toss it in the trash.

So far this product is horrible. I ordered two and two have gone back for not working. There is sound but no video, one had a clipped wire. Just received the first replacement and guess what, it also doesn’t work. I have now had two pay to ship two back, plus the third will go back. This item is not work anything and has cost me a great deal in return shipping along with two very disappointed 10 year olds.

The speakers sound great, but the Ipod connector is difficult to use – seems like it will break easily. Once the I-pod is down in position to use the video screen, it is difficult to get it back out. The Video screen did not work. Sending unit back for refund.

Hello:
My name is Frank Harris, I have purchased 3 Sonic Impact Video 55′s. I purchased 1 for myself and 2 for a friend, who gave one to his friend. We’re all more than satisfied. It’s a very good product.
