Awesome TV!
Bought the TV a week back after months of agonizing over Sony XBR and Samsung, and I am glad of the choice I made. It's probably the best LCD tv I came across with eye-opening contrast. The picture is exceptionally clear, even for the SD programs. Obviously, I can't test 1080p, but its a probably a good thing to have for 'future-proofing'. ( I did see a Samsung demo of 1080p on this model...its quite impressive).The native resolution of 1920x1080 also works great for connecting to PC. Movie Picture mode produces great black levels comparable to Plasmas.

Great value, works perfectly
This is a great little device, bought for my wife's business. It records conversations between two people perfectly at its mid-quality and we are still on our first batteries even after considerable usage. Others have mentioned difficulty loading down to XP but it worked for us exactly as per the instructions (we have XP Home). The lowest quality was not good enough to hear clearly on play back but the capacity on its mid quality is plenty for this not to matter. HQ is very clear. I would thoroughly recommend it, especially at this price

4 stars for the device; 1 star for the software+driver
This is an excellent recorder. Very impressed with it. It's very sensitive and picks up anything at a distance. Sound quality is quite decent. We use it to record our baby's sounds.
Cheap and handy
I've been using this little gizmo to record lectures for a while and I'm quite happy about it. It seems that the olympus voice recorders are becoming a standard: most of my classmates who record the lectures in class have one.

Plays PAL discs on my NTSC system
We bought our DVD-237 last night and have watched about eight hours of video on it.The great attraction for us is its ability to play our Chinese PAL video on our NTSC television.The picture looks good and the sound, through our 2.0 system, is clear and clean.
Not What I Thought I Was Purchasing
I searched Amazon.com for a multi-region DVD player so I could view DVDs that I have purchased overseas.This DVD player came up.There are no instructions within the packaging that state how to watch Non-region 1 DVDs.I called the manufacturer and they told me how to "rigg" it to play region 2 DVDs.Also, the remote control did not work from the very beginning and the manufacturer said I would need to pay money to replace it.They also let me know that the DVD player will not work without the remote control (not compatible with universal remotes).This is not a good product.

SAVE YOUR MONEY
I got this DVD player because it was cheap and I figured it would get the Job done. Well big surpise every dvd I put in it skipped all over and soon it made a loud grinding noise.

Incredible value
I bought this boombox for a construction project where I didn't want to risk damage to a "good" stereo system.But this little Sony box sounded so great, when the construction was over I replaced my "good" system with this one and have had it for over a year with zero problems.I just can't believe what great sound comes from these simple speaker elements.It's amazing.Long live Sony engineers!

Very disappointed
I was looking for a small, no-frills radio/CD player and settled on the Sony CFD-S350 for its size, cost, and my opinion that it was one of the least ugly players at the stores I shopped.I've had it for six months and have been quite disappointed.The first thing I noticed was that the FM sensitivity was poor.My 21 year old Sanyo dual cassette player has a much better radio.Programming the presets was easy.
liked it, until the cd player stopped working
Only had it for 6 months and already it won't play my cd's, so now it's basically a very overpriced fm radio, with relatively poor reception on many stations.Very annoying.I expect more from Sony.This is the only Sony boombox I have tried.I have a Philips at home, which I've had about 8 years and still works like a charm. ...

Does more than you think!
I really recommend this Sony ICD-P320. I gave it a workout and it worked great. I am really pleased with this unit. No complaints at all. I like the fact that the mic is on top of the unit and not on the side. That means you can put it in your shirt pocket with the mic pointed up, which means it won't be muffled. The Olympus did not do that.The record button is user friendly. It has 3 recording levels, and you need High Quality level for lectures in big halls.
Sony recorder is a great deal for a reasonable price
I am a liberal arts student, and I purchased this recorder for two reasons+
Digital Voice Recorder
I use this recorder with Dragon Naturally Speaking. It works seamlesslly with the with the software provided. I use a clip on microphone. The recording is good but I'm going have to train Naturally Speaking to understand the difference between what it hears when I dictate with the headset and that from the recorder. The accuracy from the recorder is about 75% compared to about 90%. Not fault of the recorder or their software.

Awesome Mp3 Player!!!
I finally decided that I needed an Mp3 player, so I started searching.My friend told me about Creative Labs players and how in his opinion they were much better than any iPod on the market because of their compatiblity.Werll here I am, two months later, the proud owner of a 8GB Blue MicroPhoto, and I must say it's one of the best purchases I've made in a while.Me being a sophomore in college, I wanted something that woulc hold all my music while walking to class or riding the bus or working out in.But I didn't want an over-the-top player like a 30GB iPod Video or something like that, because I don't have the $300 to spend and I wouldn't need THAT much space.So all in all here's what I think about the player:
Better Than an iPod
I like it, because it's got a lot of memory (8 gigabytes) to store more songs than I can ever hope to add. The sound quality from the supplied earphones (earbuds) is adequate. There are better earphones available to take advantage of the excellent sound quality from this 8 GB Microphoto player. The batteries do not last very long. With a full charge, it will only last 5 to 8 hours, instead of the touted 15 hours. I also like the fact that you can charge the unit when it's plugged into your computer with the USB2 cable.

My Hot Lil Rock Box
I love my Microphoto! I love it, love it, love it!!! I purchased this item from Circuit City for about $180 plus a special protection plan for $60 after the first 6gb Zen Micro I got from Best Buy stopped working within months. I love that I can integrate different parts of this item in my everyday life with the calendar, and other great features like the fm radio so I can check out my favorite talk shows. That, is what's up!

Pros and Cons
Pros:
Works well but................
I am quite disappointed with this sony product. It works well but the big drawback is that you hear the motor rumble in your recordings. I wonder if other buyers have this problem or did I get a poor model? Buy cheap and get cheap I should know better.

Just for me

A good option for listeners who prefer their stereo equipment to be heard but not seen, this pair of two-way 80-watt speakers installs conveniently in the ceiling, where they deliver a clear, full-bodied sound. Each speaker's mounting cutout measures 7.88 inches in diameter and sits 4.25 inches deep--an unobtrusive size that easily holds the speaker's 6.5-inch titanium-laminate cone woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter. The units are ideal for use as main speakers in your living room or secondary speakers in an adjacent room (when connected to the main receiver), or even as home theater surround speakers (rear left/right) when watching movies or listening to five-channel audio sources. Listeners will appreciate the 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response--which handles bass frequencies with ease--along with the white faceplate that blends easily into most ceiling surfaces (users can also paint the faceplate to match different-colored ceilings). In addition, the tweeters are located on swiveling mounts, so users can customize their angle to maximize the audio performance. Read more

Features

• Pair of round 2-way in-ceiling speakers with 80-watt max power handling
• 6.5-inch titanium-laminate cone woofers with rubber surround for tight bass
• 1-inch titanium-laminate dome tweeters with swivel mounts for directional listening
• 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response; includes integrated dog-ear brackets
• Mounting cutouts measure 7.88 inches in diameter and 4.25 inches deep; 5-year warranty

Great speakers for the money.I used them for rear speakers in my home theater and they blend perfectly with the rest of the system.

Good speaker at a good price
The speakers were easy to install and work well.For the size and price, they are a great deal.The bass response is not great, but that's not what you are looking for in speakers like this.I'm not sure they would be worth the original price at $250, but at <$100 they are well worth it.

Very impressive
These speakers were easy to install, and look great.

Good
I read some of the reviews before I bought this product and I was a little put off, but then I went out on a limb and purchased it. I like it. If your just looking for something simple and sleek then this is it, but if you want something more advanced then this porduct is not for you. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't select by genre, artist or track title. I like it and I would recommend it to first time mp3 buyers and kids or a person who really doesn't know anything about a mp3 and just want some music to carry around.

Don't Waste Your Money
I purchased this and was dissapointed more and more upon getting it.
Absolutely Love It
I was looking for something small and convenient and that's exactly what I found. The manual wasbitt a challange, had to call my friend for help :), but once I got a hang of it, it was easy, smooth and quick.

pretty good
I have had this for about a year and it has worked well. I specifically bought it to tune into radio, so I have not used the CD player and whatever functions it might have. Pretty light, 7 of 10 sound quality, can hang on wall, detachable speakers. Good for cost. I would recommend and buy for a gift.

Great for a small office
I recently purchased this item for my wife who has a small office.the reception on this unit is great.Bieng in a steel building she is able to get all the local radio stations. The sound quality on it is perfect for a small room considering the price range it is in.If you are looking for a booming sound this is not for you but it will provide a solid quality sound.

very pleased
I, like some, was a bit cautious about ordering this big ticket item online. I must say, I would do it again without question. The delivery was quick and professional, and without issues.
Amazing...Simply, Amazing!
First, I'd like to thank Amazon and Eagle for the super fast shipping. I know alot of people on here have given Eagle a bad wrap, but I must say that my experience has been nothing but positive. I ordered my tv on saturday, it shipped on monday, and I received it on friday. I must admit, though, I was initially worried because Amazon said that the shipment was going to take almost 4 weeks...thankfully, it didn't even take a week.
awesome!
I did a lot of research on purchasing a bigscreen TV.I have wanted to get one for sometime, but was waiting for the price to come down some.I was comparing the Sony Wega and the Samsung models, both the 50 and 56 models.

The SRF-59 is lightweight, simple-to-use FM/AM stereo receiver. Weighing only 3 ounces (84grams), this compact player is a perfect companion for the track, bike trail or work area. The FM antenna is part of the headphone cord, so you are sure to receive a strong signal. The AM antenna is a ferrite bar type. The local/distant switch will help you fine tune the reception. Both the volume and tuning buttons are rotary dials, providing a nice sight-free way to make major changes to the Walkman.Read more

Inexpensive, Great Performer, Outstanding Value
I initially purchased this model then returned it in favor of the Sony SRF-M37V because of its five one-button pre-sets which make it a no-brainer to use while exercising.However, the SRF-59, perhaps because of its analog tuning, suffers less from co-channel and adjacent channel interference on FM.It's audio is slightly brighter and more musical with a decent pair of headphones or earbuds than its digitally tuned cousin.With this in mind, I purchased another SRF-59 yesterday and spent all last evening listening to it.I literally could not make myself shut it off and go to bed I was having so much fun scanning the FM dial.There was a program which aired last night on a local channel which featured bass-heavy 12" remixes of eighties new wave hits with, blessfully, very limited commercial interruption.Over the course of a three hour listening session, I gradually cranked up the volume.As I was too lazy to fish out decent earbuds, it became apparent that with bass-heavy audio at very loud volumes the SRF-59's tiny amplifier was insufficient to drive stock Walkman style headphones and peak audio was clipped which simply necessitated turning the volume down a tad to restore full musicality (I understand that decent quality earbuds require less power to achieve the same level of high sound output, therefore there will be no audio clipping).Nevertheless, the sound quality from this bargain-priced Walkman through less than ordinary headphones was astounding.The party is literally in your head, and the soundstage ranges from ear to ear, which is somewhat disconcerting when it is located above your sinuses.I also made one pass through the AM band and there the SRF-59 was no slouch either.I hauled in 1200 WOAI San Antonio which is approximately 1000 miles from me.Though no true DX machine, after all how could it be, it is at the least a competent performer on the AM band as well (I suspect early in the evening AM DXing conditions were as good as they have been in a long time).For more on this model and others visit Xin Feng's website.I highly recommend this model for cheap thrills!

great and inexpensive portable radio
The price of the radio is quite excellent!Its only drawback is that the tuning is manual, and not digital:due to the sensitivity tuning dial's small size, adjustment is often necessary, which a digital tuner would avoid.However, a digital tuner would probably increase the radio's fantastic price!

Not for you if you're outside the city
I purchased this walkman to listen to talk radio and some music while I putz around or workout.Don't bother with this Sony if you plan on moving around.I lost reception even on the better channels every time I moved.What good is that?

Poor Quality
I've had my ipod mini for approximately a year and a half. My menu button and volume control have stopped working.I just went to the Apple Store in Oak Brook, IL and apparently the ipod's only have a one year warranty.At the store they confirmed that "yes your ipod is broken, so you have two choices."
I love my mini
I got my iPod mini about a year ago and it has been working amazingly for me ever since. One of the reasons I love it is that I'm a huge clutz and I drop my stuff all the time. I don't keep it in a case ever, and I have dropped it from five feet and it has not even scarched. Of course, I don't drop it on purpose, it just happens. I particularly don't need a color screen. My black and white screen displays the song I am listening to fine and if you want, you can turn on the backlight. Many of my friends have iPod Nanos, but I don't actually see how they're SO much better than the minis. You can see the little album picture next to the song title, so what? If I really wanted a cool new iPod, I would most definitely get an iPod video. All of my friends who have nanos always keep their iPods in cases so they don't break, but I don't need to. With a nano I would be too afraid that I would crush it... It sits in my pocket comfortably, I don't have to worry about it while I'm moving around. Unlike many people, I download plenty of music from the music store and I love it. I don't like leaving my house, going to the store, and buying a CD for one sone that I actually like. The only problem with this iPod is that the backlight goes off if you don't do anything to the iPod, but it's fine. iPod minis are, in my opinion, better than nanos.

Sony WWM-FX290 Stereo Cassette Player
This is a very good cassette player - and, these days, the local stores do not cary many, or no, cassette players - so I am comparing it to my old trusty Sony Walkman that died ... The sound is great with and without the Megabass feature. At first I didn't like the caring case but I got used to it and have no problems with it. On the downside the player doesn't have continuous play, or reverse, feature so, if you'd like to hear music on the reverse side, you have to stop, open the carying case, take the player out and reverse the cassette ... a pain. The window that displays control features is very very small so it is difficult to see the commands. The controls themselves are not very intuitive and I needed directions to set up, or change, the pre-sets but when that was done the player was fun to have and use.

Everything you'd need in a Walkman...
The Mega Bass feature is by far the best I've seen (or should I say, heard) in a while. Radio quality is about 48kbps but with the MB feature on, it sounds about 128kbps! Furthermore, the TV tuner (sad it only has up to channel 13) is a unique albeit helpful feature in some scenarios. The weather band does not work for me at all, so I can't review fully on that subject. I pity you people who do not have any reception on the FM/AM tuner as you're missing out on a bundle.
Fragile
Sound was good till the second week of running with the cassette player.It basically fell apart by then. I returned it for a refund. ... Read more

There's no rule that stereo systems have to be big and bulky, as this trendy microsystem from Philips aptly proves. The wall-mountable MC235 is a mere 3.78 inches thick--bigger than a credit card but far smaller than the average CD player and speaker combo. Yet the system still packs dynamic audio performance inside its narrow body, with such features as digital sound control and digital dynamic bass boost (DDBB). The former invites the user to choose between different sound settings, including optimal, jazz, rock, techno, and classic, and then automatically adjusts the sound balance and frequencies to create the most favorable setup for the chosen music style. DDBB, on the other hand, enhances the bass at low, mid, and high volumes to deliver rich, deep sounds, an important consideration for a small system such as this.Read more

Features

• Thin-profile CD stereo microsystem with stand; 9.84 x 9.64 x 3.78 inches (W x H x D)

Just love it
It sounds good and looks nice too. I love the way the cd player opened straight up. Its just really cool !

Pretty good buy
Like it. not great on the low end of sound, but definitely a good buy for the $$$$.

Attractive and inexpensive product
This small stereo system is exactly what it claims--a good small system at a good price.Sound is solid, and although bass and treble adjustments are limited to several factory preset mixes, one of the presets seems to work well for everything from talk radio, to jazz, to classical, or rock.

I LOVE this dvd player!!!!!!!
I LOVE this dvd player. It has a good battery life. The player can be used with the charged up battery or on its own plugged it. I have used it both ways and it is awesome! The sound is good too. While the movie is playing, the picture is clear. It's not too heavy or too light. It's just right. A remote is included with this player. It's portable so you can pretty much bring it anywhere to be used. A must have if you travel alot.

Worth every penny!
We do a lot of driving and my kids are generally very good in the car.However, our recent trip was an 11 hour drive and that's hard for even the best of kids.We used the car adapter which worked perfectly, haven't used the battery yet.The screen quality is excellent and it was very easy for my kids to use.

Exceeded Expectations (once Replaced)
I recieved this DVD player in 5 days with super saver shipping, but found that it was unable to function properly (i.e. it was unable to play DivX or MP3 files). I was instructed to send it back to Philips for repair (with charge to me though) and recieved a brand new unit after about 2 weeks. Now working, the player is exceptional, the screen fairly crisp (not to mention well sized) the AV in/out very handy, and the aesthetics pleasing.The player has also taken every type of DivX file I can throw at it, including XviD among the various codecs.However, when starting the unit up, it makes a good deal of noise that dulls to a still noticeable hum during playback. Also, viewable file names are limited to 10 characters or so, making some recognition difficult. Finally, with the battery, the player is a bit bulky, but not egregiously so.
