CSW’s i765 can be connected to a TV via composite or S-Video inputs.

Cambridge SoundWorks has made quite a name for themselves by teaming up with the iPod. The latest leap in the SoundWorks line is the i765, which adds in a CD/DVD player and radio functions.

The DVD stuff is nice, but is it me, or did they move the dock? Gotta mix things up, I guess.

The unit has composite and S-Video outputs, so you’ll obviously need a TV to use the DVD features. Add that expense to the $500 it will cost you for this tabletop solution. It’s sort of pricey, but the company has set precedent for some very nice sounding iPod accessories.

I just received my i765 radio… The sound is amazing, spacious, room filling and with amazing highs and lows. It worked well with my iPod Classic. I watched Die Hard 4 from it and was blown away by the sound in the wide mode. The explosions were powerful and impactful. The video output was clean even on a 52” HD TV.  DVD’s played easily and I could easily switch between iPod and DVD Video with no problem. I was surprised when my wife’s iPhone even received calls while docked without a lot of GSM noise. It even worked well with my son’s older 60GB Video. It displays song title and artist on the LCD (iPod or FM RDS), I can see it all the way across the room. The radio reception is great. I enjoy listening to NPR and it is hit or miss in my home due to reception issues. This radio pulled in this station and it was crystal clear, I really enjoyed it. The remote is intuitive and easy to use…. To sum it up $499 seems expensive but it is worth every penny, I just wish it came in white. This blows away my Bose Sound Dock…. Anyone want to buy a used Sound Dock????
