Nice Printing But Terrible Paper Handling.......2007-05-13

After only a few weeks of use, paper started jamming, in this printer.
This problem only got worse with time.

I am currently on my second unit (Canon sends you a used/refurbished unit as a replacement) and still having the same problem. Paper randomly jams in the transport and the printer has to be turned upside down and opened, in the back, to try and get the torn paper out.

Sometimes it just tears the edges of the paper, like Jaws.
This printer prints text and graphics well but otherwise it's been a real lemon. The paper handling on this unit really stinks! I had a Canon IP series printer before and it worked well for almost two years.

The Ip5200 has been a major bust! Consumer Reports was dead wrong about this unit or did I just get two lemons in a row?

Best Quality and some advice.......2007-03-07

I do alot of scrapbooking. I scan my old pictures, burn them for safekeeping and then reprint them on this printer they look wonderful. I have even scanned objects such as lace doilies and printed the out for my scraping. It is easy to use and does not take up much space on my desk. I get most of my photo paper at places like Big Lots and Aldi's. The Dollar Stores I went to recently have acid free photo paper as well and this printer does a great job on it as well. The ink cartridges are better bought in the 4 pk containing all the colors rather than singularly. It is much cheaper on you.
This Printer is worth every dollar. I recommend it to any one professional and otherwise.

Canon PIXMA iP5200 Photo Printer.......2007-02-27

An excellent printer for color prints. However, if your use is 90% black and white and only 10% color, there are better printers.

Great printer for the money!.......2007-01-10

I purchased this printer for the office because I had such good luck with a similar model at home. There is consistant quality in everything I print on this machine. It is especially reliable for matching the colors expertly on photos and graphics. I would highly recommend this Canon printer to anyone.

Driver and software incompatibilities?.......2006-08-14

Please Google "Print Queue problem iP5200." Exactly the same problem I experienced is described by some other unfortunate people. The problem is that after printing a job, it stays in Print Queue for several minutes, and the second job cannot be started immediately. Those who reported the problem on internet did not get any solution. Of course, they and I contacted Canon. Those who posted the problem on internet and I used the latest printer driver. I have Windows XP Home with all updates installed. The reviewers here didn't seem to have this serious problem. I don't know why a small number of people experience the problem. One person who reported the problem on internet reinstalled Windows system without solving the problem. I didn't go that far.

After exchanging several e-mails with Canon, it turned out that a source of the problem is that I was connecting iP5200 to an add-on PCI card. By connecting to a USB port originally installed on the PC, the print queue problem disappeared. But this is not the entire story. I have Canon ScanLide 30. Although the driver works, utility programs such as CanoScan Toolbox stopped working just after the print queue problem disappeared. Again, you can find problems reported on internet by searching "Scan Lide twain error message." I can still scan by using the scanning program that comes with Windows. However, I need to find the right brightness and contrast for myself. You can find solutions for the Twain problem on internet. However, I have not tried yet. I am afraid if I make ScanLide 30 work, the original print queue problem of iP5200 appears again and I will need to find a more fundamental solution.

I love my Canon Pixma printers and CLI-8 4-pack ink.......2007-09-13

I have been very happy with my Canon Pixma printers. I currently have one in my office and one at my home office. I bought my office machine last summer. Then, this past winter, when my HP printer at my home office died, I replaced it with a Canon, as well. I've broken off my long term relationship with HP and have never looked back. Not once. While I recognize this is not a review about the printers, the fact remains that the printers are worthless without the ink. One thing I like about the Canon pixma ink cartridges is that they are priced significantly lower than the cartridges I purchased for my HP. The reason is simple: Instead of one color ink cartridge, there are 3 color cartridges. When the yellow runs out, simply replace the yellow. In the long run, this ends up being a lot more economical. Additionally, the print head is installed in the printer itself, not in the individual print cartridges, which also saves money. The CLI-8 4-pack is the best way to purchase these cartridges and I have not found a lower price than that offered at Amazon.com. I hate running out of ink, so I keep a couple packages on hand. When I am running low, I place an order online. Shipping and handling are free, there is no sales tax, and the price can't be beat. And yes, I am thrilled with the print quality of my Pixmas. I'm a Realtor. I print MLS sheets, letters, marketing materials, glossy brochures, and even post cards in limited quantity. I am particular about the quality of print and have been more than satisfied with the cartridges and printers. Only once did I have a problem with an ink cartridge. I kept receiving an error message telling me that the wrong tank was in the printer. I kept taking it out and putting it back in, turning the printer off, then on again. (Did the hokey pokey and I turned myself around....) Finally called Canon only to find out that the print cartridge was defective. They sent me a new one, so I can't really complain. Canon printers and ink ROCK!

Great price.......2007-09-10

For some reason my local OfficeMax is always out of stock so I wind up buying each cartridge separately which is more expensive.
I've never had a problem getting this through Amazon. And, they beat Office Max's price.
You can't go wrong.

Pixma.......2007-09-10

Since this was the genuine Canon ink it worked exactly as expected. Shipping was very fast. My only complaint is that Amazon tends to over package small items such as this. Perhaps that is a UPS requirement?

Canon TriColor ink - good deal.......2007-09-10

I bought the four-pack for my Canon Pixma iP4300 from Amazon because the price was good, and they offer free shipping on orders over $25. Also, I have gotten less than satisfying results from off-brand ink cartridges. I bought a high-rated printer to get good pictures, so why go with ink that is a couple of dollars cheaper? Most of my online shopping is through Amazon, and I have never been disappointed.

Great entry-level home theater receiver.......2002-07-31

I've had this unit for a month and have been very happy with it; very hard to beat in this price range. We only watch about 4 DVDs a month (at the most), and our home theater setup is in a fairly small room (13x15 ft.), so it didn't make sense to go for a higher end unit. This is the least expensive high-current power I could find.

Weaknesses:
- The remote is small, with lots of closely spaced buttons and tiny lettering. It provides a lot of control over the receiver, and does a 'better than expected' job controlling my JVC TV set, but does nothing for my Sony CD player, Phillips DVD player, or Panasonic VCR.
- May not be enough power for a large room (see strengths, below). If both of these are serious issues for you, you should definitely consider the next model up, an additional [price].

Strengths:
- Excellent for the price.
- Easy to set up & tweak.
- Full home theater alphabet soup support: Dolby Digital, DTS, Pro-Logic II
- 'Family friendly' design: no bass & treble knobs for your youngster to mess with, and it has one of those volume controls that is always where it was the last time you turned it off (so you won't blow your speakers upon power up because your kids cranked it when you weren't watching).
- High-current power supports the use of higher-end speakers, like Paradigm, PSB, NHT, etc.
- Lots of loud, clear sound. Don't let the 65 watts fool you. If this unit were a Sony, they'd probably tell you it was 80 watts. Here's the rub: for full, 5.1 channel DVD watching, I need to turn this unit up to about 80 (on a scale of 0-100) to get loud, theater-level sound, and I'm in a small, 13x15 foot room. If the room was much bigger, you could be hitting your head on the ceiling of what this receiver can produce. The good news is this: even turned up almost all the way, I'm hearing no noticable distortion. Also, what I consider "loud, theater-level sound", my wife considers "Oh my gosh, will you turn that thing down, you're going to deafen the baby". 'Loud' is all relative.

Overall, This is a good splurge unit for a home theater newbie who wants to expand beyond the 'home theater in a box' scene, and its also a good unit for 'budget audiophiles' who don't live in a barn, a loft, or a mansion.

Amazon.com Product Description

Onkyo's affordably priced TX-SR500 surround receiver offers a wealth of inputs and surround-processing choices. The unit is fully compatible with Dolby Digital and DTS surround encoding, as well as with Dolby Pro Logic II, which generates 5.1-channel audio from any stereo source--including VHS tape, cable and radio signals, and MP3 files. The receiver even has a set of multichannel analog (RCA) inputs to accommodate the decoded surround output from a DVD-Audio and/or SACD-compatible disc player.

With nine DSP (digital signal processing, or simulated surround) modes, a range of digital and analog inputs and outputs, and Onkyo's A-Form autoformat detection, the TX-SR500 is easy to set up and use--and versatile enough to integrate the newest technologies with your existing home-theater equipment. Each of the receiver's five channels is capable of continuously delivering 65 watts RMS (into standard 8-ohm speakers), and Onkyo's Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT) ensures clean, high-current power from 10 Hz all the way out to 100 kHz, supporting even the most demanding DVD-Audio and SACD programs.

The receiver's power stage uses discrete output devices for all channels, and extruded-aluminum heat sinks for its high-current capability. The TX-SR500 is versatile enough to handle nearly any of the combination of full-range and mini satellite speakers found in today's home theaters. Easy-to-use setup menus let you specify the type of speakers in use, and onboard digital-processing circuitry directs bass signals from digital sources only to the speakers designed for low-frequency reproduction. In addition, the receiver's subwoofer-channel processing includes a variable crossover circuit, which you can use to optimize the sound for your subwoofer.

The receiver offers composite- and S-video switching, and both coaxial and optical digital-audio inputs accommodate signals from devices such as DVD players, gaming consoles, minidisc players/recorders, satellite receivers, and DVRs (digital video recorders). The front panel features both composite- and S-video plus audio inputs for easy connection of equipment such as camcorders or MP3 players.

The receiver also includes an FM/AM tuner with 30 station presets, a digital, optimum-gain volume control, and a full-function, preprogrammed remote control. A sturdy, solid-aluminum front panel and dot-matrix fluorescent display round out the component.

Receiver, remote control, remote batteries, AM loop antenna, FM wire antenna, warranty information, and user's manual.

excellent value even if it is.......2003-07-09

I purchased my Onkyo TX-SR500 from J&R six weeks ago and I am delighted with it. I can't comment on it's attributes as a home theatre system since I am using it in stereo mode with only two speakers. My system also includes a 13 yr. old Onkyo cd player and 30 yr. old KLH model 5 speakers. As such, it sounds great, a very nice improvement over the 15 yr. old sony receiver it replaced (obviously, I don't upgrade components until they stop working). It provides strong, tight bass response as well as very clear, detailed mid and high end. I know it's a cliche, but I am hearing a lot of details in the music that I never heard before.
Regarding the refurbished aspect, there was an almost invisible cosmetic blemish on the edge of the faceplate. Otherwise, it appears as new. Consumer Reports called this model a "very good performer and a very good value" even without the steep discount as a refurbished item. I agree completely
