Philips Magnavox 9P6031C 60" Projection TV Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $1,799.00 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Enjoy a large, crystalline image from just about any video source with the Philips Magnavox 9P6031C. The 60-inch projection TV sports rear-panel component-video, S-video, and composite-video inputs and an onboard 181-channel NTSC tuner for off-air TV reception right out of the box. The set's picture-in-picture capability includes SmartWindow with Action Freeze, positioning, and image swap, so you can view any input as the main image and any TV station as an inset image, or vice-versa. The set offers a 160-degree wide-angle screen and 550 foot Lamberts peak brightness. It's loaded with 7" liquid-cooled, liquid-coupled tubes, MagnaBrite lenses with Digital convergence, and a wideband video amplifier. Using a Delta 77/78 lens (an industry standard in optics), the MagnaBrite lens system achieves more consistent edge-to-edge brightness and contrast with a dramatically reduced focal length, resulting in crisp, well-defined large-screen images from a slim cabinet design (under 30 inches, front to back). A notch filter gives you greater resolution and sharper, clearer, more detail-perfect color images. And, by extending the video bandwidth to 10 MHz, the set's wideband video amplifier gives you up to 800 lines of horizontal resolution for striking picture detail and an impressive increase in frequency response through the audio/video inputs (the lines per picture width are 650 based on EIA measurement procedures). The stereo sound system built into this TV uses an MTS/SAP decoder, bass boost, and individual bass, treble, and balance controls for personal listening preference. There's also dbx noise reduction, which eliminates hiss and high-frequency interference. The large, 4 x 6-inch elliptical speakers are powered by 5 watts RMS per channel x 2 (into 8 ohms, from 50 to 20,000 Hz, with no more than 0.5 percent total harmonic distortion). Incredible Stereo heightens the overall entertainment experience by engulfing you in a "wall of sound" using psychoacoustic audio techniques. The supplied universal TV/VCR/DVD/DBS/cable remote operates all features and functions of the set, granting direct menu access even activating SmartWindow PIP. The remote also controls all important features and functions of virtually all infrared-capable VCRs, DVD players, digital broadcast systems (satellite receivers), as well as toggling on/off and channel up/down on most cable converter/decoders. When activated, SmartSound keeps volume levels constant between programs and commercials, and from one channel to another. Other convenient features include a 120-minute sleep timer, random channel access, 1-button picture reset, and status recall. SmartLock (Parental Control) lets you protect young children from harmful programming with V-chip technology based on the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the network television rating systems.

Sega Dreamcast Console Average Customer Review:  CD-ROM list price: $149.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The Dreamcast system is, in a word, awesome. Fire up Soul Calibur, and instantly you'll appreciate that the graphics and gameplay are even better than in the arcade version. And Sonic Adventure, with its light-speed gameplay, is sure to wow even the most jaded gamer. It's amazing that such a small machine (it's about the size of your mouse pad) can deliver such incredible performance. Chalk it up to superior engineering. Dreamcast's only downside is that it comes with only one controller and a demo disc. In order to truly take advantage of Dreamcast's capabilities, we recommend outfitting the controller with a Jump Pack and a Visual Memory Unit. Getting one or more extra controllers is also a good idea, because some of the best Dreamcast games support up to four players at once. Why it's so cool:

While it worked, I took the best photos of my life... crisp, clear, gorgeous! Part of me really wants to buy another one because it took such great pictures and was so fun to use.But the practical side of me thinks it's an awful lot of money to spend on a disposable camera.
I took this camera on vacation, and the pictures came out fantastic - I have also used this camera to take pictures at the beach and they come out just like postcards. It is so small and light that I now bring it everywhere and have taken more pictures in the last year than in my entire life. The only thing that I would change is to have a bit more powerful zoom lens. I have since given this model to two friends and they enjoy it as much as I have. ... Read more Asin: B00000G20K |

Polaroid i-zone Translucent Pocket Instant Camera, Phat Blue Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $23.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Polaroid's i-zone pocket cameras produce tiny, high-quality Polaroidpictures about the size of a frame of 35mm film (or your average postage stamp).The i-zones use either sticky or nonsticky instant film, so you can put yourpictures in a frame or stick them onto your notebook or CD player. While thecameras all have the same funky oblong plastic design, they are available in avariety of interesting color schemes. The silver edition is a solid silvery graycolor, while Phat Blue and Fireball Red are neon-like translucent monotones, andmost others are two-tone, like the Jade version, which has an aqua green frontand bluish back. Each i-zone set comes complete with camera, instant pocket film (six shots), andtwo AA alkaline batteries--everything you need to start making pictures. Werecommend buying extra film right away, especially if the camera is a gift,because those first six shots tend to go pretty fast. Loading the camera is aseasy as dropping the film cartridge into the back of the camera and closing itback up. The trickiest part is remembering to pull the film tab out in one fluidmotion, without stopping--exactly like most other Polaroids. When you expose ashot and pull out the film, you get something that looks like a Band-Aid, withan image in the middle and extra paper on both ends. Just clip the extra paperoff with a pair of scissors and you have your final product. Be careful not tocut into the actual photo, as you don't want to give the caustic paste inside achance to seep out and get on your fingers. There are three exposure settings on the i-zone--indoors (with flash),outdoor/sunny, and outdoor/cloudy. Overall, the camera is probably best forsubjects within 2 to 8 feet, although we took pictures of downtown buildingsthat turned out pretty well. The outdoor/sunny setting requires bright sundirectly on the subject for a good exposure. Even if it isn't cloudy, try usingthe outdoor/cloudy setting if the subject is in shadow or if it is early or latein the day when the sunlight isn't at full strength. The flash seems to workbest from about 4 to 5 feet away. The best part is figuring out what to do with the mini photos once you'vecreated them. The options seem to be limitless, from decorating cell phones tousing them as key chains, putting them in mini frames, or making refrigeratormagnets. These cameras are affordable, simple to use, and a lot of fun.--Walt Opie ... Read more Features Reviews (17)

Pioneer DV-F727 301-Disc DVD Changer Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $1,099.95 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The Pioneer DV-F727 is not the average, run-of-the-mill multidiscchanger. Even if your audio CD and DVD collections are quite sizeable, you canstash the goods neatly inside this 301-disc capacity "media server," then callselections up with the same ease and excitement as you would by keying an entryon a jukebox. An onscreen cataloging system helps manage your inventory, with anauto update feature that scans for new disc additions. Should your collectionreally bulk out, it's even possible to double the system's capacity by linkingtwo DV-F727s. All the while, you'll still maintain easy control over the wholekit 'n caboodle via a single, fully-featured and user-friendly remote control(supplied), or using an optional, plug-in PS/2 style computer keyboard ormouse. One of the most elaborately featured DVD players we've everencountered, the DV-F727 also takes care of the basics quite well--deliveringpristine pictures and sound with component-video (interlace), S-Video, andcomposite-video outputs. Sound-wise, its optical and coaxial digital-audiooutputs definitely deliver the Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM stereo (up to 96 kHz,24-bit) soundtracks. The player's Burr-Brown audio digital-to-analog converterand conventional analog jacks also proved quite fine. Handy jog-shuttle dialson both the front panel and the remote make it a pleasure to manipulate themultispeed forward and reverse trick-play options. Customizable settings letyou vary picture parameters to taste or adjust the audio dynamic range for latenight listening--so that soft sounds such as dialogue can be heard more clearlywithout making loud sounds even louder. Given its immense disc storagecapacity, this changer is remarkably compact--measuring about 16.5 inches wide,17 inches deep, and 7.75 high. The holding slots are accessible, one at atime, behind a motorized opening/closing Plexiglas "hood." Of course, there'salso the option to quickly install and then remove a single disc--via thededicated 301st slot--with its operation complemented by special "single loader"access and play keys. Entering menu text and numerical data about stockpiledtitles is reasonably easy. Information can be added using the onscreen softkeyboard in tandem with the cursor control joystick on the remote, or with theselection dial on the front panel. To speed up the process, there's also theoption of plugging in and entering text on a conventional PS/2 computerkeyboard. Making life easier still, some music CDs now contain andautomatically stream their own album and song title info (CD Text), which thischanger will conveniently read, display, and automatically integrate into itsprogram menu memory. If implemented, DVD text information is also downloadable.(A front-panel display lights up to indicate the presence of such text on adisc.) A couple of bummers: you must abbreviate text entries when a title orartist's name exceeds 12 characters, the max this changer's memory will storeand display. CD Text titles longer than 12 characters, while not memorized, willscroll across the LCD screen. Also take note: when a disc is playing, you can'tenter data, or add or remove other discs. Once program data is entered intothe megachanger's memory, titles can be sorted and accessed by format (DVD orCD), disc title (alphabetically), or disc number. Another option: you cancreate and name 20 custom files (10 DVD/Video CD and 10 CD) for automaticplayback. However, there's still no avoiding the mandatory setup menus andunskippable FBI Warning before DVD play commences. All in all, the DV-F727represents a remarkable piece of engineering and entertainment prowess from thefolks at Pioneer. Pros:

Garmin StreetPilot ColorMap Vehicle GPS Receiver (12 Channel, Map Compatible) Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $890.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review Garmin's StreetPilot GPS ColorMap features a large, bright color displaybut lacks a surprising number of features that are included with some of theless expensive global positioning systems that we've tested. Designed for use ina vehicle, this GPS comes with a dash mount, cigarette lighter adapter, and aserial cable for interfacing with a PC. At 1.3 pounds and almost 7 inches wide, the GPS ColorMap isn't tiny. The reasonfor the unit's bulk is the relatively large 16-color backlit display, 1.8 incheshigh by 3.3 inches wide, that dominates the front of the device. The colorscreen serves up clear images that are much easier to interpret than thoseproduced by a grayscale display. It's much like looking at a standard roadatlas, with red interstates, gray secondary roads, and light blue riverscrisscrossing a bright yellow background. A night mode switches the yellowbackground to black, and there are several levels of brightness that make theunit legible regardless of the lighting we tested it in. Also, in our tests, the12-channel GPS receiver took a surprisingly long time to acquire satellitesignals, but once they were locked in the unit accurately tracked our movementsand never broke its lock when we passed through tunnels or heavily forestedareas. The map database included with the device contains most of the major highwaysand all of the interstates for the entire United States as well as the moreimportant city streets in large metropolitan areas. This limits the device outof the box for use primarily for cross-country travel. However, the map databasecan be expanded via a cartridge slot in the battery compartment that acceptsseparately available 8 MB or 16 MB cartridges. Garmin sells cartridges preloadedwith detailed map information, or you can buy a blank cartridge and a MapSourceMetroGuide CD-ROM to download data from your PC to the GPS. The built-indatabase comes with information on interstate exits and labels major bodies ofwater, but MetroGuide upgrades add many more features like street-level maps forentire cities, restaurant data, and the ability to pinpoint a specific address. Although the StreetPilot GPS ColorMap is easy to use and highly accurate, it hasseveral shortcomings that detract from its overall value. An automatic routingfeature that lets users enter a departure point and destination to getdirections would have been nice. As it is, users are forced to enter routesmanually or download them from computer software that is compatible with thisdevice. The GPS ColorMap comes with a PC interface cable but no software todownload. Most GPS devices in this price range offer pages and pages of dataderived from complex internal calculations, but this product offers only themoving-map page and a Dashboard page that serves as a basic trip computer. Forthis price, we expected more. Also of note is the unit's underwhelming 2.5-hourbattery life, which forced us to enter complex routes while the device was beingpowered by the cigarette lighter adapter. --T. Byrl Baker Pros:

Con's:I live in a new development and my home street is not on the map.Software updates to the unit must be done with a serial port (included in box).The problem is that my new laptop does not have a connector for the included cable.Had to spend an additional $13 on a USB to 9 pin serial cable and Garmin said its only a 80% success rate that it will transfer the neccessary data.The Mapsource CD's which contain detailed information on cities can only be used one time.In order to use the CD's initially, you have to go to the Garmin website and get an "unlock" code.Therefore, if you purchase a newer computer, you have already used your unlock code and would have to purchase an addition code and these can range from $80-$100.
