| Summary: Nice but flawed remote
50
I got the NakiWorld Movie Dock delivered today and right out of the box the remote does not function.
The unit itself is pretty solid and well-made. It does not include a charging cord, but the stock PSP charging cable plugs into the unit, which passes the charge along to the PSP, and powers the built-in speakers. The unit's speakers are actually worse than the PSPs impressive built-in woofers. It is no louder than the PSP, about the same volume, and in fact distorts at full volume. At lower volumes the Movie Dock sounds tinny and cheap.
I bought the Movie Dock so I could mount the PSP on the dash of my car and run it to the stereo system to play MP3s. The remote was enticing for obvious safety and convenience reasons, so you can imagine my disappointment when the remote didn't function right from the start. I can tell that the remote is sending a signal by looking at it through a camcorder. Most modern camcorders record infrared light, and that is what most remotes transmit, so you can aim a remote at a camcorder and see it shining like a flashlight when you push a button and look through the camcorder. So for some reason, the base is not picking up the signal from the remote.
Maybe I just got a lemon, but that is my first impression so there you have it. I'll have to send this back now and wait for a replacement, hope that fixes things.
