Product Description

DVD recordings have superior image and sound integrity but recording can be a little difficult. Funai disagrees and have come out with a DVD recorder that's as easy to use as a VHS VCR for recording programs from TV or other sources. It's got a built-in timer so you can pre-program when you want to record a show - or up to 8 events. FUNAI Corporation, Inc., established in 1977, has offices in Teterboro, New Jersey and Torrance, California. Funai Corporation is the North American sales and marketing company for consumer electronic products manufactured by Funai Electric Co., Ltd., of Japan. Sleek, slim, and engineered for simple use, this DVD Recorder is a perfect component for your home-theater system.

Amazon.com Product Description

Upgrade to the convenience and quality of dual DVD/VHS recording without sacrificing additional shelf space. Funai's FDRV90E dual-recording combination DVD recorder and VCR is a cinch to set up and it lets you copy VHS tapes to DVD and DVDs to VHS tapes at the touch of a button (except where prohibited by copy-protection technology). Record your favorite television shows and treasured home videos to either videocassette or high-quality, long-lasting DVD-R (write-once) and DVD-RW (rewriteable) discs.

The recorder's built-in NTSC TV tuner and onscreen user interface permits up to eight timer recordings over a one-year period, with its six DVD recording speeds providing between one hour and an amazing 10 hours of content on each single-sided 4.7 GB recordable DVD. You can even select and compile the best footage to commit to disc: the recorder's handy editing features include auto playlist creation, project titling, title deletion and editing, and scene deletion.

The FDRV90E's versatile playback features include progressive-scan video outputs and support of MP3 CDs so you can easily shift your digital music enjoyment from the den to the living room. A variety of video and audio inputs--including front-panel composite- and S-video connections for fast, temporary hookups--grant connection to virtually all televisions and home theater components.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the FDRV90E's DVD player stands ready to deliver the full playback potential of your home and commercial DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

VCR Plus+ simplifies timer recording (1 year, 8 events) for both VHS and DVD recording; VCR features include 2-speed recording (SP/EP) and 3-speed playback (SP/LP/EP), 19-micron 4-head performance, 2-speed picture search/scan with EP tapes (5x, 25x normal), a realtime counter, and auto repeat abilities.

What's in the Box
DVD/VHS recorder/player, remote control, remote batteries, an RF coaxial video cable, a composite-video/stereo analog audio cable, a user's manual, and a quick-setup guide.

Funai FDRV90E Dual-Deck DVD/VHS Player/Recorder

I purchased the dual-deck about a month ago for approx. $100.00. I wasn't sure if it would be a decent product for a price this cheap. It's used on an occassional to moderate basis. So far it seems good. The picture quality is good. Has one touch recording from VCR to DVD as well as DVD to VCR. I have not used the one touch recording yet.. only recorded from TV to DVD. The quality of recording in the 4 hour or two hour modes is good.. any modes more than 4 hours loses a lot of the quality. ONE THING TO BE CAREFUL OF IS THAT THIS MACHINE ONLY RECORDS ON DVD'S THAT ARE A MAXIMUM OF 8x.. so you may have to order these off the internet since the stores all carry 16x which will not work with this deck. If you buy the DVD-RW then I believe 8x can be found anywhere. Hookups were simple and helped eliminate the issues of having both a DVD and VCR. I hope it holds up since it seems to be a pretty decent deck for the money.

I have a very similar model with the Magnavox name but the warranty/maker is Funai. I LOVE recording with it - and I have put all home videos on DVD's and made copies of them for the kids . . .BUT the manual is complicated, the customer service (phone and email) is horrible and slow (30 minutes on hold - had called other times and had to hang up before call was answered) and after 4 months of use (1 month after 90 day warranty is up) it has to go to the shop! I feel a company that builds and sells equipment for this much money should back it up more than 90 days!

Marv David Mn.......2006-08-07

Have had this unit for 4 months and it has been in the shop for the second time. So far I would not recomend this unit

unbeatable in-walls.......2002-11-12

I own the Ambiance 60, and I have to say that the sound is unbeatable, no matter how loud you play. I thought I'd have to give up sound quality for the convenience of in-ceiling speakers, but these speakers keep surprising me. CDs I've owned for years sound better with these speakers. And I like that they are paintable.

Product Description

A digital camcorder that fits into a purse, a glove compartment, or a coat pocket? That's the Canon Elura2 MC (Memory Card) - designed to snuggle in your hand and to commune with your computer. It will go where you go, see how you see, and let you capture your experiences, get creative, and share them like you never have before. Weighing about the same as a can of soda, the Elura 2MC uses Canon's miniaturization technology to give you all the functions and usability you want in a friendly, hand-sized package.Canon's image stabilization system corrects camera shake, so the movies you make come out clear. Professionals and business users appreciate the ease of shooting long telephoto views without a tripod. Everyone appreciates that the minor bumps and wiggles because of car vibrations-or having one cup of coffee too many-won't become part of your treasured memories! This camera provides an incredibly high definition, outstanding contrast - a pure reflection of the high-resolution capability of DV. The zoom technology employed in this camera is the same as Canon uses in their Broadcast TV lenses - the lenses that have come to be used on 60% of the broadcast cameras in the world. When you experience the Elura2's zoom technology, you'll see why. With a crisp, 2.5" color LCD viewfinder, it's easy to tell if what you're shooting is coming out the way you want it to-and it's easy to view and share with others. Twist & flip the viewfinder however you want, so you can shoot from any angle. The ELURA2 MC offers two digital audio modes. The 16 bit mode produces the higher (better than CD quality) two-channel sound quality while the 12 bit mode records on two of four channels - leaving two other channels free to dub extra sound at a later date.

Amazon.com Product Description

Canon's Elura 2MC is small and light enough to pop into a pocket, purse, or glove compartment, making it easy to bring along to any event. Despite its diminutive dimensions, the Elura 2MC is an advanced camcorder, featuring electronic image stabilization, a 10x optical (40x digital) zoom lens, a progressive-scan CCD, and digital still mode.

The Elura 2MC has been designed for point-and-shoot simplicity, making it easy for even beginners to shoot great videos. A number of different programmed auto exposure modes (including sand and snow, sports, portrait, and low light) automatically adjust settings to take the worry out of shooting in challenging conditions.

Besides the different programmed auto-exposure modes, the Elura 2MC also offers three different shooting modes. You'll probably leave the camera set to normal movie mode a majority of the time. Digital photo mode lets you use the Elura 2MC as a digital camera, recording a still image for six seconds on the miniDV tape, and allowing audio commentary. There's a lot of flexibility here: you can switch between movie and digital photo modes and create a unique collage of stills and video. Finally, the digital motor drive mode uses the progressive-scan CCD to capture a full noninterlaced 30 frames per second. This means you can use the footage as a series of independent photographs. The Elura 2MC also comes with a MultiMediaCard for storage of still images.

As a DV camcorder, the Elura 2MC has an IEEE 1394 port for digital editing, or for transferring footage between IEEE 1394-compliant devices, such as computers or other DV camcorders. The Elura also features S-Video input and output. Analog inputs allow you to transfer old footage to DV for archiving. Digital effects include art, black and white, mosaic, and sepia, and built-in faders help ease scene transitions.

Tape Eater.......2002-03-18

Sending mine back-- liked the small profile and features. Shot a few minutes of video on a new tape. Brought it home to watch it and ate the tape up when I tried to rewind it. I'm glad I was only trying it out, I'd hate to have the tape of something important get eaten by the machine.

Very compact suprisingly good camera.......2002-02-20

I was very sceptical about this camera upon purchase. My needs are for a camcorder for family activities. We never used the Hi-8 unit we have had for 5 years, just sits in the closet to bulky to be practical or convenient. The size is perfect for my needs. I was concerned about quality, robustness, and utility (would controls be impossible to reach).
Seems to work well for my needs. The battery winds down pretty quick (about 60 mins on a charge with no LCD usage and only recording usage). However seems to retain charge over a period of time (unlike some other comments read).
Pictures are very clear, and am amazed at the quality. Stability mechanism works well. Do not use the digital zoom, as feel this is only a gimmick and of little real use.
Controls are reasonably intuitive, seems like manual overrides for most anything, but use on automatic mode most of the time. Would like a wide angle lens, as equivalent of a 50mm lens. Quality definitely deteriorates under low lighting.
After 3 weeks of use give a heartly thumbs up, seems like a keeper.

best DV & camera.......2002-01-04

Very small...works great...easy operation...also films in B&W and sepia which i love...this is my 4th digital camera, and i like this one the best....only problem is the battery does not stay charged for long periods of non use...but recharges fast..maybe i should look into a larger battery?

Motor noise kills an otherwise great camera........2001-11-11

While the small size of this camera makes it great to take around, and easy to use, it apparently doesn't come without a price. When I brought my Elura 2MC home, and shot a few minutes of test video, I was shocked to discover just how loud the motor noise was on the recorded video. Although there is a built-in noise filter, it seems to have no effect on the constant hum from the motor while filming.

Given the price, I assumed that my camera had a manufacturing defect, so I took returned it for a new one. Unfortunately, the second camera had the same problem. While the camera is otherwise quite nice, the constant, annoying background really ruins the video it takes. ;-(

Delivers and More.......2001-09-15

I took a brand new camcorder on an extended international trip shooting in a variety of harsh climates. Image quality - spatial and contrast resolution are superb. The colors are vibrant even in harsh sunlight. Better than average indoors. Editing is a breeze, even for a novice. You can't use this camera without everyone around you marvelling at its small size - even other jaded technofiles. Without reservation, an excellent camera.
