Amazon.com Product Description

The TC945 is ideal for small offices or homes with two lines. Both lines can be answered simultaneously, and the recording system features voice prompts and time/day/line stamp, storing 28 minutes of messages between the two lines. Other cool features of the answering system include Advanced Message Management, which provides selective save and erase, instant access, and variable speed message playback. The phone claims to have "remote messaging," but strangely, that doesn't mean you can check messages from any phone, only that you can check messages from the cordless handset.

If you use your phone line to connect to the Internet, you'll appreciate this phone's Modem Monitor Connection Protection. When the phone line is being used by a modem or fax machine, the TC945 can tell the difference between data and voice conversations and won't let a voice caller interrupt a data connection. The system is wall mountable and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Glad to see it's not just me - this phone is a loser.......2002-09-19

I was shopping for a new phone today to replace this ..., and stumbled across these reviews. Glad to see it's not just me who is having problems with this phone. It looked like a great deal when I bought it, but mine suffers from all the same problems outlined by numerous reviewers already. It "loses" the handset, even when you pick it up right from the base - frequently, you have to hang it up again to let it reset before you can answer the phone. When the power goes out, even for a second, you have to pull the power cord out and remove the backup battery to get it working again, erasing all your messages and settings - so much for having a backup battery! Also, the sounds quality is poor compared to my cordless Lucent and Panasonic phones.

Do yourself a favor and take a pass on this phone.

Feature rich - performance poor.......2001-12-03

I have owned this phone about 5 months now. I have had complaints from others about outbound sound quality at times. May biggest frustration is that when the handset is on the base and a call comes in, if you pick up the handset and try to answer too quickly, the handset seems unable to find the base and I end up having to answer/conduct the business call on the speakerphone, at least until I can hang up the handset and let it "resest" itself, synching up the security code I would guess. The answering machine is very versatile, but the battery backup doesn't seem to save messages when the power goes out, only the memory dial numbers! What good does that do?

Would keep looking....

I guess I am the only one who loves it.......2000-10-09

This phone is great. It is clear and works great. It is also the only phone out there with this mix of features.

My one problem is that to make the battery life last REALLY long you have to turn off the ringer which means if you lose track of it you can't use the intercom feature to find it.

Thus I have lost the handset and now have to but a new one since nobody seems to sell just the part which I have spent hours searching for and making phone calls to everyone.

PS [With the cost of the handset] I may as well buy a new phone....

A great buy: If you only want the date to work for 10 months.......2000-06-06

My family and I purchased this phone at a retail outlet. It seemed perfect, at the time the only phone with these features, however we have had some disappointments.

1. If you attempt to use the base speakerphone to answer a call while someone is on the headset on another line, the headset hangs up and the base takes over.

2. The ring on the headset is not at all loud, and is very easily mistakenly switched off.

3. The instruction manual is shady. It is written in a really annoying shade of blue that makes it almost unreadable, and even the content is scanty. There is little fine print nor easy to follow conditions for proving the phone was purchased within the one year warrenty in order to obtain a replacement.

4. After about 10 months the date began to malfunction. We did not abuse this phone in any way. The date remains stuck at tuesday 8:17 pm. It is very annoying, as you thus do not know when people have called. Reseting the clock has been futile.

Maybe we just got a lemon, but buyer beware, keep your reciept. I would give it four stars if it worked all of the time, but the malfunction and thus warrenty question have caused me to dock it to two stars.

Returning Phone.......2000-03-19

Callers complained of clarity. LED is very difficult to see.Handset volume is not convenient and must be reset with each call. END

I know we have recharged these batteries at least 50-75 times in two weeks and they have not failed to give us a full long charge. If I had to buy batteries each time I would have charged these I know I would have spent hundreds. Get these batteries, they will pay for themselves in a very short time.

Worse MP3 Player Ever.......2003-04-18

I bought this item new at the store when it first came out. I also bought my girlfriend one and bought upgraded memory while I was there. Figuring out exactly how to get this unit to work and run properly in itself takes at least an hour unless your very computer literate, then trying to figure out how to put songs into the MP3 player is atleast another few hours. The instructions "are bad", the set up is very complicated and the overall unit is very UN user friendly. The unit constantly gives errors and is about the most frustrating thing I have ever worked with ever. I DO NOT recommend this to anyone and if you just must have one...I will gladly send you mine cuz thats how little I think of it. Oh and try and look up any number you can call for support on this product or ask questions about it...you will never get anyone. Save your money and buy ANYTHING else. I would take a tape player over this ... .

Better than you've heard........2002-06-02

In my experience, some of the criticism of this product is fair, but it shouldn't be enough to warn off all potential buyers. First of all, if you want to use your smart media card for other things, you WILL have to reformat it first. Second, the internal memory is small, and it WILL be only three or four songs if you prefer mp3's of 192 kbs or above.

However, I've had absolutely no problems with the sound quality of this player. It's cheap enough that you can throw in a 32 or 64 megabyte smart media card for more memory and still have a cheaper package than comparable players. I actually have more storage than my Rio owning bud, for less than 2/3's the price. It IS a functional recorder, basic but solid. The software is decent enough with most computers, and incredibly easy to use. The headphones are maybe the worst part of the player, and I use my own whenever possible.

In short, if you're looking for a low priced player and recorder, a combination that's VERY hard to find, this is a good way to go. I'd only recommend against it if you have a Compaq computer. For the rest of you, don't let the general outrage over it's card reformatting get you down. It's a good machine.

Nice player for the Money.......2002-05-11

I guess I'm one of the few to say it's nice inexpensive player. The sounds quality is great for the price...I got this mainly because of the small size for working out.
To compair the 2 I would say the D-link sound quality is close to that of the more expensive Kazoo...
And in my opinion the D-link sofware for downloading is actually more flexable to use than the MusicMatch that came with the Kazoo.

Don't get me wrong...I'm very happy with my Kazoo...but for the price difference the D-link is a great bargin...I've had it for over 5 month...no problems. Agian...especially for the price.

Good, but not great.......2001-12-28

I am one of the apparent few who is very happy with this player. I got it for Christmas and was a little weary after reading all the other reviews here. However, my player works wonderfully. I can get 10 songs on the internal memory and they all play great. The Smart Media Card Slot is nice. It does use its own format and WILL make the card unusable to other devices such as cameras. However, contrary to popular belief, the cards CAN be restored to their original state and universal functionality. All you need is a card reader with its formatting program. I have a SanDisk ImageMate USB reader. It comes with a formatting utility called "SMPREP.EXE" I successfully used this program to restore my 8MB Smart Media Card to work properly with my camera and reader. Bottom line is that this is a solid player, and I would recommend it especially if you are on a budget. If you have a CD Burner, think about and MP3/CD Discman since you get 650-700MB of MP3's (150+ songs) per disc.

(The drivers for this player reportedly don't work with COMPAQ machines so be aware of that if you own a COMPAQ) Hope this review is helpful!

WATCH OUT!!! I am very serious!.......2001-12-08

I bought the Rocket MP3 player from Musician's Friend and was very excited at first. I also bought a 1 year warranty on the player. I personally hate this product and the company who sold it to me (E-Blitz). The reason why is because after I downloaded music into the player, for some reason it wouldn't play for nothing!!! I got extremely frustrated from having to constantly restart my comp. because it froze many times for no reason! Every time I tried to play the music that was downloaded into the player, the screen would just display "00" or "01" and nothing happened! Then, after many nervewrecking times of plugging in the USB, it stated that there was an error. It said that there was not enough memory in the player to play, therefore I couldn't use it at all. Apparently, the player couln't handle the MEASLY 3 or 4 songs that were downloaded into it!!!(that is WACK!) How should have I known when to stop downloading songs! The thing was useless! And if I buy more memory, how do I know it won't do the same thing when the memory runs out?! I tried to call the company for a trade or refund, but all they told me was to call another # back and forth! Even with the warranty, I was not helped at all. I couldn't do anything! I wasted my money (...) for something that doesn't even work! If I could, I would warn everybody not to buy this product because if it happened to me, it could happen to you! I believe nobody should be RIPPED OFF like I was! I think that this product shouldn't be advertised at all because it is screwed up!!! (...)
