Product Description

The DVD-P721M is a no-compromise DVD source component that brings innovative functionality and unprecedented convenience to home entertainment systems. The striking silver front panel sports a new backlit function display, convenient jog shuttle dial and a slim port that accepts the versatile Memory Stick media for simple playback of digital audio and images from your PC. The robust 17" wide chassis also bristles with rear panel connections, including the Progressive Scan-capable component video output terminals. And this powerful performer is compatible with a host of audio, video and still image formats including: DVD, DVD-R, video CD and CD-R/W discs encoded with MP3 music files or digital photos, as well as the increasingly popular photo CD discs. A handy universal remote includes its own jog shuttle control, and can easily handle a host of TV's, VCRs and other equipment. The Memory Stick-compatible DVD-P721M can help the entire family enjoy family photos, downloaded music files and the latest DVD movies or music CDs from the comfort of the living room sofa.

Amazon.com Product Description

The DVD-P721M integrates digital audio and video like no DVD player before it, offering not merely high-tech features like progressive-scan video and 3:2 pulldown, but a dedicated Memory Stick port that makes this the ideal companion for Sony digital cameras and MP3 players.

Video Features
The progressive-scan output is king of this unit's video features, but keep in mind that you'll need a high-definition or HD-ready TV to appreciate its benefits. (The included S-video and composite-video outputs work just fine with older TVs, however.) Progressive scanning displays all 480 video lines in one pass to provide strong vertical resolution and flicker-free, high-density images. Likewise, 3:2 pulldown is a videophile treat. It accurately translates 24-frames-per-second movies into 30-frames-per-second television signals, correcting any distortion and removing redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture on any component-video-equipped direct-view or projection TV or monitor.

Audio Features
The DVD-P721M is compatible with standard CDs, audio CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and discs encoded with MP3 audio files. A 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures optimal decoding of all disc formats, while 2x audio playback lets you hear the movie or music while you search, where most other DVD players are mute. The player's Phantom Surround processor simulates surround-sound effects using only two speakers, and a 25-inch stereo headphone jack has a convenient rotary volume control.

Connections
Beyond the Memory Stick port, the DVD-P721M's traditional audio connections include two sets of left/right analog-audio outputs for compatibility with stereo Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions and two digital-audio outputs (one each of coaxial and optical) to route Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel signals to a surround-decoding audio/video receiver. The back panel offers one output each for S-video and top-of-the-line component-video, as well as two standard composite-video outputs.

Other Features
The player provides motion zoom, chapter digest, and a universal remote control (with jog/shuttle dial) that operates the DVD-P721M as well as most TVs and VCRs. You even get a special EZ remote for controlling basic DVD functions. Supplied accessories include a composite-video AV cable, instruction manual, two remote controls, and two AA batteries.

5 out of 5 stars Ms. Shara L. Bouie.......2004-04-30

My personal review on the Samung Progressive Scan would be the mulit-cabliblites of the pro- scan DVD from Screen to DVD. The over all clarity of the progressive scan is next to the top ten next with the Sony DVD and Video Progressive-Scan, and the Philips. Although, the following questions of it's mulit-usage, maybe , How would this product work with my entertainment system quailty and or Is this product able to be used with my pc or audio system?" Yes, to both the Audio and Visual question being that during the actual connection process is so simple a child could program the Samsung Progressive Scan. In closing wether dealing with a simple digital camera to the a Kitchen Mixer , I rate from personal usage of this product at the highest a 10.

Thank You

Progressive scan never worked correctly from day one. Didn't want
to get into shipping back and forth to the repair center, so bought a
Panasonic replacement (that works perfectly) and threw
the Samsung unit in with my soup cans and bottles for recycling.
Never again Samsung, ... never again ...

2 out of 5 stars Good for DVDs only.......2003-05-14

This DVD player played my DVDs just fine, but it had big problems with Audio CDs and Photo CDs.

For DVDs, it works well. The remote is very well laid out, so I can keep my eyes on the TV while I'm using the remote. (All remotes should be this well designed.) Unfortunately, the joystick (which takes the place of the directional buttons) is a bit unreliable. I often have to jiggle it to get it to go they way I'm pushing it. This is annoying, but it has a second "mini" remote with ordinary buttons that work fine. Still, switching between two remotes is annoying.

The most useful feature is the "Instant Replay" button, which I LOVE. If I miss a bit of dialog because of room noise, I just hit instant replay, and it jumps back ten seconds.

For Photo CDs, it's pretty bad. It takes forever to load the pictures, and the controls for zooming and panning are so amazingly awkward to use that they're not worth it.

For Audio CDs, it's completely unacceptable. It cuts off the last two seconds of each audio track. You may not notice this on a lot of tracks because the song fades out or has two or three seconds of silence anyway, but for songs that play to the end if the track it's infuriating. I had to take it back.

I never used the memory stick or progressive scan, so I can't comment on them. I couldn't get the 3D audio to do anything.

If you're not interested in playing audio or photo CDs, it's a perfectly acceptable DVD player with a good remote control. But for audio and JPEG, it stinks.

4 out of 5 stars Economical DVD player to have........2003-03-14

Wanted to purchase a progressive scan DVD player and settled on this one because of the great price. Bought it middle of February and have had no problems with it so far. Picture quality is great, easy install, able to play all DVD's and CD's in my collection so far, including burned CD's. I haven't been able to test out the memory stick capabilities yet but nice option to have. If you are in the market for progressive scan DVD under $..., I would recommend this one. It's sleek, compact and easy to hook up. The main remote is a little clunky with the toggle selector but a minor design flaw.

4 out of 5 stars Singing Samsung's Praises.......2003-03-01

I just bought this Samsung DVD player to accompany my new HDTV - I was specifically shopping for an affordable Progressive Scan DVD player (as the progressive scan players are supposed to look AWESOME on HDTV). Another feature I really needed was a headphone jack - and when you add that to your "wants" list, the number of Progressive Scan players with a headphone jack dwindles.

So, after doing a lot of online research, I decided this Samsung model met all of my needs - including the headphone jack!

After using it for a few days, I am happy with my purchase. My DVDs look incredible on my HDTV. I have been putting in each DVD I own and checking out the amazing quality, detail, and color. The Samsung player is sleek, and easy to use. I had no problems hooking it up to the TV. The menu options are pretty intuitive, in my opinion, and having owned an RCA DVD player before, not much different.

My one complaint (not a big one) is the remote controls. You get two. The first one has all the buttons you would expect. The second is small, with just a few buttons. At first, I would have assumed that I would be using the smaller remote - so much more simpler and fits in the palm of your hand!

The first remote (with all the buttons) has a toggle button to navigate menus with. The toggle button doesn't work that well. I prefer the up-down-left-right buttons (which are on the second, smaller remote!) So, I have found myself pressing buttons on the first remote, then switching over to the second remote to navigate the menus.

The remotes, therefore, aren't that great.

I have also found that the Samsung will play all of the audio discs my friends burn for me - my old RCA player wouldn't do this. Sometimes, the Samsung gets confused by the formats and may take a few extra seconds to load. I have also noticed that it tends to ignore "blank" space between tracks. So when you're listening to an audio cd, the tracks play RIGHT AFTER EACH OTHER WITH NO SPACE IN BETWEEN. Again, not a horrible problem, but kind of weird.

I'm sticking with my Samsung, though. I'm pretty happy with what I've seen so far. And, one has to weigh price/functionality as well. For the price, I think I got a great deal.

        I bought this phone a while ago and am still using it. The range is good. Figuring out the menu/options is pretty easy. It's reliable and has good battery capacity. All in all, a good phone.

        5 out of 5 stars I will never own another brand phone.......2007-04-05

        I love Panasonic phones. They last forever, they always have a stylish design, and they are easy to use/program, especially if you don't like reading manuals (like me). 5 Stars!

        5 out of 5 stars A really great phone........2007-01-16

        Has really lasted through the use of two kids and holds a great charge. Clear reception throughout the house, even in the basement. I'm looking to get another.

        1 out of 5 stars People can't hear me.......2006-12-11

        I got this about a year ago. People complain they can't hear me unless I talk really loud. The other phone in our house (also a panasonic, but a kx-tg2258s) didn't have this problem, but it just died and displays an 'e3' error code. I am finished buying panasonic phones, and for other products I buy, I will consider other brands first.

        2 out of 5 stars Usually like Panasonic... but not this one........2006-09-01

        Bought this phone a few months ago to replace old cordless Panasonic 2.4 GHz that died. This is probably the worst phone I've ever owned.

        Several reasons:
        1) The range is WORSE than the 2.4 GHz I had! I used to be able to get great reception in every room of my large one-level home and in my big yard. Now I can only venture about 3/4 of the distance I could before... and then the connection starts to break up. And I've given up taking it outside.

        2) The "voice enhancer" is useless. It doesn't work. The sound is worse than just leaving it in normal mode.

        3) Love the speaker-phone feature in the handset, but it doesn't work when you have it sitting in the recharger/base. (Dumb!) It'd be nice when the battery gets really low to be able to use the speaker phone while it charges. But nope... if you run out of charge, the phone is useless until it recharges again.

        4) I still can't figure out the phone's weird caller-ID inconsistency. Sometimes it doesn't register incoming calls at all... and worse, it doesn't register all missed calls so I can contact people who may not have left a message. And instead of listing each ID in the order it came in, especially duplicate callers, it'll just put a check mark by a recently called entry... so you know that person called more than once, but you don't know when. Yeah, if people leave messages every time they call, this wouldn't be a problem... but you know they don't.

        I'm usually not hard to please, but I'm looking now to replace this phone that is fairly new.

        Amazon.com Product Description

        The remanufactured KX-TG5421S cordless phone employs 5.8 GHz frequency-hopping digital spread spectrum technology to deliver incredible clarity as you talk while strolling around the house. Panasonic's 5.8 GHz phones operate in a less trafficked wavelength than more common 2.4 GHz phones while still maintaining the same great security, topnotch clarity, and long range. Reception is further improved by Panasonic's Voice Enhancer circuitry, which helps clarify and improve reception by producing an easy-to-hear, natural-sounding voice, making the handsets sound crisp and intelligible even at a distance from the base. Plus, 5.8 GHz frequencies won't interfere with wireless computer networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g Wi-Fi.

        Another nice feature is the caller ID/call waiting combo (subscription required). Caller ID lets you see who's calling before you answer the phone, while call waiting lets you know when another call is coming in. By combining the two, however, users will learn who's calling even when they're currently in the middle of a conversation with someone else. When you hear the beep, simply look at the handset's LCD display to identify the name and number. It's especially convenient when you're waiting for an important call but still have other calls to make.

        The handset speakerphone, meanwhile, is a plus when dealing with automated phone systems. You can turn on the speakerphone, put down the handset while watching TV or typing, and then pick it back up when a voice finally responds. It's far more convenient than trudging all the way to the base unit to activate the speakerphone. There are lots of other uses as well, such as putting the whole family on the phone to talk to grandma or grandpa, or conducting a business call with several folks in the room.

        Households with kids will delight in the light-up antenna. When it's time to put the kids to sleep, simply turn off the phone's ringer. When someone is calling, the base of the antenna will flash so you'll know the phone is ringing. The antenna will also light up when someone leaves a message on voicemail (subscription required). Users can select from blue, green, amber, or multicolor antenna lights, while subscribers to Light-Up ID can link the individual light colors to numbers in their preprogrammed phone books.

        Additional features include a 50-call memory and speed dial directory accessible through the handset's three-line LCD display; three ringer patterns and four melody rings; a headset jack and belt clip for hands-free calling; a redial function that calls the last five numbers; and a handset locator. The phone, which is wall-mountable, measures 9.8 by 7.1 by 4.9 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

        What's in the Box
        Handset, base unit, power adapter, phone line cord, belt clip, warranty card, user's manual.

        We needed to replace our cordless phone, so we searched the Internet, looking at all available units. By far, Amazon's offer for the Remanufactured Panasonic Cordless Phone, was the best priced unit available. Easy to operate and install, great reach, we are able to walk out to the yard and still have clear reception. We are satisfied with our choice of purchasing through Amazon.com.

        5 out of 5 stars Very good phone.......2006-07-14

        So far this phone had been working out just fine for me. No interference with my Wi-Fi system. Good sound quality and good range in my house. I do recommend this phone if you're looking for a cordless phone. I didn't even realize I had bought a remanufactured phone until I was doing this review.

        Product Description

        Samsung's range of advanced digital camcorders makes near-broadcast quality footage attainable for the whole family; while for advanced users there's the additional possibility of connection to a PC for professional style editing. Samsung's digital camcorders are more compact than analogue models and thus are a great companion for taking on holiday or on day trips.Features include electronic image stabilization, 400: 1 variable speed digital power zoom, nite pix, 9 digital special effects, tape speed, built-in digital still camera, 8 step manual shutter, 210k pixel trans-reflective optimum vision LCD, EZ dial navigator, smart shoe for external accessories, and external microphone.

        Amazon.com Product Description

        The uniquely designed SCD590 sits snugly in your hand for great convenience and comfort while shooting. Among its many features are a large 2.5-inch LCD screen that can be viewed in both dark and bright environments, a shoe for external accessories, a remote control, nine digital effects, and a color onscreen display with easy-to-use dial navigation controls.

        Lens
        The optical zoom magnifies up to 10 times, while the digital zoom, which works by electronically enhancing the optical image, reaches up to 400 times. The zoom toggle is pressure sensitive, so you can control the speed of your zooms. The electronic image stabilization keeps the picture steady throughout the natural shakes and jitters during usage.

        Switch to Nite Pix mode, which works by emitting infrared light, for shooting in total darkness. Choose from nine digital special effects, such as art, mosaic, sepia, black and white, and cinema, to add style to your videos.

        Digital Stills
        Digital photos are stored on the included 8 MB Memory Stick in JPEG format. The SCD590 has a USB connection for easy PC import. You can use the included software, MGI PhotoSuite III, to edit your digital stills.

        Inputs and Outputs
        The standard DV IEEE1394 port (also called FireWire) is present for a no-loss connection to a PC or other DV machines, as well as a USB port. S-video and RCA A/V connections are used for direct viewing on a television or VHS dubbing. You can also plug in an external microphone via the mic jack for better sound.

        MiniDV Format
        MiniDV digital technology delivers clear, sharp video with up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution--far superior to the 240 lines of resolution offered by 8mm camcorders. You'll get minimal color noise interference for a more stable picture. You'll also get excellent sound quality in either 12-bit or 16-bit audio recording modes.

        This is all delivered on a cassette that's 1/12 the size of a standard VHS tape. A MiniDV tape offers digital recording time of two full hours--20 times the capacity of a CD.

        5 out of 5 stars Best investment I ever made!.......2004-01-01

        I purchased this camera in Singapore last May and I paid $1100. I compaired this camera to literally hundreds. If you have ever been to Singapore you would know its the electronics super center of SE Asia. This camera didnt simply out perform other models like JVC, Sony and Canon. It destroyed the competition. Night vision on this camera is fantastic compared to the long list of others I tried. This model is user friendly with easy to follow directions. The Samsung website has fabulous tutorials of how to work this camera too. This is selling for a way lower price than I paid. Its a steal at this price. Get the camera and you will know what I mean by performance. The guy that wrote the 2 star review.. he must be writing about a Sony.

        5 out of 5 stars GREAT camera, ignore fake negative reviews.......2003-08-16

        This product is great. It's a DIGITAL video camcorder and is just so smartly designed (controls on the back within easy reach, remote control can snap onto/into the camera, etc), for the price of a poor analog camera with less features. Everyone I've talked about the camera is nothing less than enthusiastic about the quality and value for the money. It even has an effect (unfortunately called Make-Up mode) that will only highlight one color (like in "Schindler's List", as CNET noted).

        I do have to say that I'm very creeped out by the "Ray Chan" negative review here, in which he copied negative reviews from the CNET boards, and then pasted them (all put together) as his own negative review here on the Amazon site. On CNET, he's known as the "Sony freak", because he goes to all the Samsung products and gives them bad reviews in really bad English, while pushing Sony products. He's managed to bypass the bad English here on Amazon by taking other people's reviews as his own. You can see the negative reviews he copied at: http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_SC_D590/4852-6500_7-9879939.html?tag=box
        Creepy ...

        5 out of 5 stars Great Camcorder!.......2003-08-03

        I first purchased a Sony IP5 and was very disappointed. I hesitated to purchase the SCD590 due to some negative reviews... but I also felt that the reviews may have been staged. Anyway... I bought the camcorder... and we love it. QUALITY is GREAT... and that means picture, features, ease of use, and mechanical. We've had our SCD590 for about 3 months.

        5 out of 5 stars i could not find any bad things on this cam.......2003-04-27

        i got this cam about a week ago. so far so i am happy with this cam. actually, i did not expected this size, b/c i though much bigger, and even smaller than my hand. what is diferent b/t sonyand samsung. it looks same to me thru looking t,v.. and i do not know about the com, b/c it is going to be different story to how you capture thru com, (italk about pic quality)
        ps i think there is different b/t sony or other japaness cam and samsung that is price, samsung is much much cheaper and i think same quality.

        2 out of 5 stars Neat features, bad quality control..It's a Crazy Cam!!.......2003-04-14

        Pros: Thoughtful control layout; intuitive user interface; nifty Make-up mode; still image capture to Memory Stick; sharp LCD; optional VL-S1FL unit functions as both a video light and a flash.

        Cons: Questionable quality control; bottom-loading cassette; no built-in flash for shooting stills.

        Summary: I was sold on this camera for its size. I have tested the quality of the images against my larger Sony TRV-310. While the unit produced acceptable results I was disappointed in the color fidelity. Contrast to my Sony, the Samsung displayed muted colors lacking the depth and sharpness I have taken for granted. I must admit that the features are very good, but the image quality is not very good. Dim light shooting is not the best for this camcorder, unless you want to use night pix (greenish infrared light) The quality control is BAAAD, there were many things wrong with my camcorder when I got it, I had to send it back to the store for a refund. Price is great, but I'm now concerned about the Samsung company, continously failing over and over.

        1 out of 5 stars Quality is important, unfortunately, Monster is not Quality.......2005-02-17

        One thing I read once and now believe...reserve about 10% of your home theatre budget for cables (If you are spending or plan on spending $5000.00 on TV, surround sound, speakers, etc, then plan on spending about $500.00 for cables.

        But, Monster cables are overpriced, pieces of junk. I've spent a lot of money on cables and used to get Monster cables. I've had numerous cables fall apart in my hands, had ones that introduced video and audio noise and were actually worse than the junk cables that come with a component.

        That coupled with the fact that Monster Cables is suing everyone on the planet that uses the name Monster in it (including Monster Garage, Monster.com, etc), I would stay far, far away from them!

        Invest your money on good cables, but not Monster.

        Product Description

        The NETGEAR FA310TX is an auto-sensing, 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet PCI adapter designed to support the next generation multimedia power-applications. The NETGEAR adapter is like 2 products in 1 while it supports the 100BASE-TX 100 Mbps high-speed standard, it also runs in the pervasive 10BASE-T 10 Mbps mode. Moreover, the FA310TX is priced at a level comparable to many 10BASE-T only adapters removing any reason to buy 10 Mbps -only adapters even if there is no immediate plan to upgrade to 100 Mbps.Install the adapter once, and it will operate with either 10 Mbps 10BASE-T or 100 Mbps 100BASE-TX hubs or switches. Single network connection works at either speed - the FA310TX can be introduced in a 10 Mbps environment and later upgraded to 100 Mbps with no changes to the desktop. A graphical interface guides the user through the installation of software drivers and support files for all popular network operating systems. Plug-N-Play compliance enables the adapter to be automatically configured.

        Amazon.com Review

        Whether you're putting together a new network or just need to add a computer to your existing setup, 10/100Base-T Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) are the way to go for home and small-businesses use. The Netgear FA310TX skimps on a few advanced features we've seen with competing cards, but offers a low price that anyone on a tight budget will appreciate.

        This NIC connects to a PCI slot on the motherboard, so it's quite easy to install. You just turn off the computer, seat the card in the PCI slot, connect the card to your network hub via a cable (not included), and turn on the PC. Windows will recognize the card and ask for drivers, which are supplied on an included floppy diskette. Customers with experience installing modems, video cards, or nearly any other internal PC device should have this card installed and working in under 20 minutes.

        The FA310TX is a very basic card. Wake-On-LAN is not supported--there isn't even a connecter if you have an extra WOL cable lying around. There are five status lights that show various types of network activity and also let you know when collisions are happening. We didn't have any trouble with this easy-to-install card, and it would make a good choice for anyone looking to expand their network without breaking the bank. --T. Byrl Baker

Its 32-bit architecture and PCI bus mastering enable speedy network response with minimal CPU overhead. Five LEDs provide clear, at-a-glance status to help ensure proper configuration and operation.

        2 out of 5 stars Serious issues with later revs.......2001-11-20

        These used to be some of the best cards to have, back when they were based on the REAL Digital Tulip chip. However, some years ago the Tulip went out of production and Netgear switched to an _almost_ compatible clone chip.
        The LiteOn PNIC chip that the current cards use has a poor reputation (from what I've read) in the development community. I personally have used dozens of these cards over the past two years and have seen almost every manner of failure. We've had cards that can't auto-neg, ones that never seem to work, and worst of all, cards that will work for weeks and then die without warning. From what I've seen, these things never get decent performance, especially with multiple cards in a system.
        I have used the FA310TX with Windows 95,98,NT,2k, Linux 2.2-2.4, and Free/OpenBSD. Across every OS and hardware platform I've tried I've seen the same problems, so it's definately not driver or configuration issues.

        1 out of 5 stars Save your money..........2001-11-19

        Just buy the cheapest you can find. They work the best, becuase they have less bells and whistles.
