Apple Recommends For

Keep two iPhone, iPod, or iPad devices charged—while listening and waking to the music on one of them.

The Philips DC390 dual docking clock radio delivers surprisingly rich, deep sound in a stylish and attractive brushed aluminium finish. Plus it lets you charge two devices—iPhone, iPad, or iPod—simultaneously

Wake up your way

Dual alarms let you set different times for weekdays and weekends, or even vary the alarm settings for more than one person. The gentle wake up feature gradually increases alarm volume, and allows you to wake to your favorite music, radio station, or buzzer alarm.

Great sound and convenience

The Digital Sound Control and Dynamic Bass Boost features combine to provide sound performance that rivals much larger audio systems. The smartly designed spring-loaded docking port allows you to effortlessly dock your iPod, iPhone, or iPad, even in a protective case. And when you connect and dock your device, the DC390 automatically synchronises the clock with it within a few seconds. So you never need to set the time manually.

Highlights

  • Play your iPod/iPhone/iPad and charge two devices at once
  • FM stereo tuner with 20 station presets
  • Dual Alarms with Gentle Wake feature and sleep timer
  • Full-function wireless remote control
  • 10 watts RMS total output power
  • Digital Sound Control offers a choice of preset EQ settings
  • Dynamic Bass Boost for great sound at all listening levels
  • Aux-in for easy connection of other electronic devices
  • Auto clock synchronisation with iPod/iPhone/iPad when docked
  • Neodymium speaker driver for rich and clear sound
  • Battery backup (battery not included)

Did You Notice?

The two spring-loaded docking ports let you easily dock two of your Apple devices, even if they're in protective cases.

    Good sound, works as advertised

    • Written by from Bloomington

    I've had this unit for a week now, and have not had any of the problems mentioned by the first reviewer. It basically works as advertised (but see caveat below about the alarm).

    Dock 1 supports an iPhone or iPod; Dock 2 supports an iPhone, iPod, or iPad. (This is all spelled out in Philips's documentation, available on their website.) My iPhone 3GS docks easily in its case, and my iPad 2 can be docked with its Smart Cover on (it can also be docked with the Smart Cover folded around to the back side). A bulkier case on an iPad might be a problem. Docking the iPad takes some practice to line up the connector just right (probably true of other iPad docks as well).

    Sound is very good for a unit so compact.

    I was worried about display brightness (I've found some clocks too bright to sleep when they're next to the bed), unnecessarily as it turns out. There are four settings--full, medium, dim, and off--and I can sleep fine on the dim setting. For some reason some actions make the display revert to full brightness, but it's easy enough to dim it again just before I go to bed.

    One caveat: Mostly the instructions are clear, but I find the alarm settings a little confusing. When I've set the alarm to play from my iDevice, it has usually worked, but a couple of times it hasn't come on--I think there's some requirement about setting up the iPhone or iPad that isn't clearly spelled out, and which I haven't figured out yet.     …More

    Stunning Sound, Beautiful Finish, Great features!

    • Written by from New Rochelle

    The sound on this unit simply blew me away!!!! I was expecting a nice alarm clock radio to charge our two iPhones but was not prepared for the amazing sound that this docking system delivered. I hope to get an iPad soon and the fact that this supports charging and playback from the iPad as well is a definite plus. I'm soooooo excited!

    So the sound was the first thing that caught my attention but there were a few other great surprises as well. I was able to dock my iPhone without taking off my phone case which is a huge benefit! The most pleasant surprise though was that when I docked my iPhone, the time was automatically set on the dock. No need to fiddle with the buttons trying to figure out how to set the time, the dock will do it automatically for you.

    I would definitely recommend this docking system from Philips as a must buy if looking for a dock for your iPod, iPhone or iPad. This is even more relevant for you if you share the dock with that special someone, as the dual dock and dual alarm functions will come in very handy...     …More

    Great Dock!

    • Written by from Washington

    I have had the dock for about 2.5 weeks and so far, it is working great. The dock I bought from the apple store did not have an Ipad 2 bumper (looks like it wasn older batch), but apple was able to put me in contact with someone at philips who sent one to me, which was great! On to the dock itself.

    Pros:
    Looks great
    Sound is amazing
    Docks an iphone and an ipad 2 (though making the connection is a little tricky, but I am getting better at it)
    Time sync feature is nice
    Remote control

    Cons (why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars):
    Price (a little high)
    The Ipad 2 dock connection (as I said earlier, a little tricky, but with practice it does get easier).

    Overall, I am really happy with the dock and the ability to charge both my devices at once.     …More

    Does not play music via Ipad!

    • Written by from Bury

    I have just spent most of this morning in the Apple shop in The Trafford Centre with the Apple technicians trying to get this docking station to play music via my ipad2. All we kept getting was the error message that 'this accessory is not supported by ipad' and it wouldn't play through the speakers - we could hear the music only from the ipad2. However it would charge the ipad2 OK.
    After trying two different DC390 machines and a different ipad2, from within the store, the technician announced there was nothing more he could do and offered me a refund.
    I left the store empty handed and extremely disappointed.
    If anyone from Apple or Philips can give me an explanation as to why this product does not perform as stated I would be interested? I am still in need of a docking station with speakers, ideally with an iphone charger (I am aware of the DC291)..
    I have given this 1 star and I was not able to submit this review with no stars.     …More

    Prognosis Negative

    • Written by from Jenkintown

    This product is not good because of the low quality LED that causes the display screen to flicker.

    The display is the most important feature in a product such as this. As such, it is not worth the price. …More
