Owner's manual

Q: Is it possible to turn off the led and strobe lighting while listening?

A: yes

Q: will it work with iPhone 6

A: Absolutely works with the iPhone 6!!

Q: Can you add speakers to this system?

A: No, you cannot add more speakers to the docking station. It does not have inputs for external speakers.

Q: does the item run on battery

A: There is no battery, or charging. You have to have them plugged in when using them. I do not know why they are called Portable, kinda misleading.

Q: Looking for a battery pack.

A: It is AC only. It can not in any way be powered by batteries.

Q: What are the dimensions (H, W, D) in inches?

A: 30.5" H, 13" W, 15" D

Q: Can I hook this to my laptop as an external speaker?

A: If it is bluetooth capable, not sure about any other ways. I hook it up to my desktop which has bluetooth and use it versus my desktop speakers, incredible sound.

Q: How to connect to bluetooth?

A: I have an S3 and it connects to it perfectly fine. You are right the connection does not work as it is made for an IPhone or Ipod. Be sure to hit your connect button on the system and then allow the bluetooth on your phone to find it. I have had to disconnect my phone once or twice and connect it again, but it has never failed to connect correctly. I listen to music from You Tube videos as well as from Spotify on my phone while bluetoothed to the Sony!

Perfect for Parties
This portable speaker system is great for parties since it's very loud and has LED lighting which looks cool in the background. You can connect via Bluetooth which makes it easier to pick songs or switch music from your cell phone or other BT enabled device. The LED lights synchronize to the bass of the music pretty well and there are a lot of options for the types of "light shows." Only negative I can say is its large size and weight. The name of the product makes it seem very portable but it's somewhat cumbersome to move around and I wouldn't bring this to someone else's house for a party (or similar situation). You will definitely need a car to move the stereo somewhere farther than a block... As for the price, it may seem expensive at first but for the sound quality and other positives I mentioned it's great. For comparison, the Jambox Big is $299.99 but is definitely not as loud and does not have a similar sound quality. It may be a lot more portable but overall price:feature ratio is subpar.

great party speaker!
I am glad that we purchased this speaker. It was a great purchase. I was initially overwhelmed with anxiety after paying $300 for it. (Yes, I'm the frugal one)My husband was so bent on getting it n. He blasted it in the local store which is how he sold me. It puts out great sound. We have hosted a few outdoor parties with it. The sound quality doesn't seem to change much when you switch to vertical. But it is powerful and the light effects are cool. It's a great conversation piece and you can connect wirelessly to it with a breeze. The NFC option on my phone required me to download an app but the app is actually convenient for me to connect to other bluetooth devices that I use. The only complaint I would have is that if we wanted to take it to the park or something would have to have an outlet to plug it into. I even use it in a dim room with some meditation music and let the lights set mood. I would definitely recommend this to a friend as I already have and would purchase it again, anxiety still included. (but only because I'm a cheapskate)

Very Very nice Speaker/Cool light Effects
WOW this speaker rocks.Some reviews complained of no bass at low volume.A lot of that has to do with the music source,music format and if a equalizer is used.I had no problem coaxing bass out at any volume level.Im not real sure about the 420 watt output rating,I think sony throttles the amp down at high volume settings.But it still shakes the walls if you want it to.Great speaker for a home based unit or outdoor BBQ.I can't think of many occasions that more than half volume was needed.Not if you still wanted to carry on a conversation.Its portable but it is huge,So clear out a large space and party on.The light effects are awesome and adds to the whole experience.Kind of like watching a good bonfire,It draws you in.YES I would definitely recommend this to anyone.The bass thumps and the mids and highs are very clean and clear.
