Amazon.com Product Description

GoVideo's DVR4300 is a step into the future with its compact size and dual-deck DVD and VCR convenience. A sleek design with a reflective front panel makes this a gorgeous addition to any home entertainment system, and its features will make it the showpiece. This versatile deck plays DVDs, music CDs, MP3s on CD-R and CD-RW, and VHS tapes. You can watch a DVD while recording a television program, and with one touch record non copy-protected DVDs (home movies, say) to VHS tape.

As a DVD player, the DVR4300 offers Dolby Digital and DTS digital outputs for easy connection to a compatible surround receiver for immersive, 5.1-channel surround sound. Composite-video, S-video, and component-video outputs provide high video quality and complete system flexibility. If you're not set up for surround sound, the unit's Virtual 3D Surround Sound provides lifelike acoustics through an existing pair of speakers--even TV speakers. The hi-fi stereo VCR's Complete Program Record automatically adjusts tape speed to ensure the recording of a complete program, no matter what tape is used. The VCR's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images. Nineteen-micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or playing back in EP (extended-play) mode.

In the connections department, there are two sets of stereo analog-audio inputs (front and rear), two accompanying composite-video inputs, and one RF coaxial video input (for use with a cable box, laserdisc player, or an additional, older VCR). A convenient child lock effectively toddler-proofs the front panel, and an intuitive remote control operates both DVD and VCR.

No customer service, period.......2007-01-12

One month ago I would have given this machine 5 stars; it really was a nice player, and even having been owned by two previous owners, worked without any glitches, was easy to hook up, and met our generally basic needs. I have to admit, I never tried the "copy" function, but only used it for playback of factory DVDs and VHS tapes. However, several weeks ago, without any explanation or changes on the user's end, the VCR just stopped working; oddly, there was sound, loud and clear, but no image. This happened with all the tapes we tried (which worked just fine in another VCR) and we even tried cleaning the heads, changing out the RCA cables, etc. to no avail. When I contacted GoVideo via their website, their response was plain and simple:

"GoVideo does not provide technical support or customer service for over a year now"

What a company!

DVD portion is adequate, VCR portion is lousy at best........2004-12-23

This applies to the DVD4400. The DVD works more or less as well as other DVD players I have:nothing to brag or complain about,other than the remote control buttons (used to fast forward or rewind) are poorly designed. More often than not you will find yourself skipping forward to the next index point instead of speeding up the DVD. The maximum advance is also slower than other DVDs I've owned. The VCR part, on the other hand, is terrible. It will take a new tape and record (SP or SLP doesn't make a difference)in such a lousy fashion that while the audio is barely discernible(wobbly and glitchy, like listening to a tape playing on a portable walkman with a dying battery), there is no watchable video. It's all lines and garbled view, like watching a scrambled channel, I suppose. The "fast play" feature is also significantly slower than all other VCRs I've owned, approximately 10X at best (as opposed to up to 30X). The one good point about the VCR is that it can rewind the tape to the start quite fast (about a minute or so.) The picture quality is average. I bought it new, so there's no prior owner who could have ruined it. I also used it plugged in with gold-tipped cables, so that's not the problem either. I will NOT be buying future products from the GO people if the rest of their line is as crappy as this product. Fill in your own joke about how the company should have been called "GO AWAY" or "GO ELSEWHERE"...

Go Video Products.......2004-06-28

My GoVideo product was a christmas gift and I am glad that I spent no money of my own to purchase it. It just long enough not to be covered by the warranty. Buyer Beware!

LOVE IT.......2003-10-29

I'm a girl and don't understand anything techinical. I bought this unit primarily because it was the first combo unit I had seen and I had enough money on my J.C. Penney card to cover the then cost of $250.00 plus tax and shipping. My husband and I have now had this unit over a year and it has been wonderful. No noise from the machine as other reviewers have stated, the picture quality is great and so easy to use even I can handle it. I was wary of the Go Video name, as we had never heard of the company before, but we would not hestitate to buy from them again. Good quality unit in my opinion.

I'm getting a new one!.......2003-10-16

This product has had problems from the start...when the DVD plays, it makes a VERY loud whirring sound. When I tried to get it fixed under the warranty, they claimed there was no problem at all, and refused to allow me to return it. Now ten months later the whirring sound is so loud, you can't even hear some of the dialog. We're buying a new one, definitely a different model, and giving this trash away.

Using a 3-step process of recovery, reading and storing data, the back up memory enables the CD player to keep pumping out music even if your exertions mean it is taking a knock or two. It uses its large capacity memory to combat delays that can be caused by shocks and fluctuations in the speed of the disc's rotation to give you the perfect music experience. Furthermore its slim mechanism holds and protects the CD from surrounding vibrations and the rubber used in its construction makes it exceptionally good at absorbing shocks. Panasonic Clam Shock proof Technology means that your CD Player is truly portable as it reduces or eliminates skipping during most active uses.PRODUCT FEATURES: Digital Servo System; Built-in FM/AM Digital Tuner; MP3 Playback; S-XBS; Heat Resistant Design; Memory Preset 30 (15 FM/15 AM); Remote Control; Backup Memory (MP3) 100 seconds; Backup Memory (CD-DA) 45 seconds; No Skip System; Preset EQ; LCD on top cover; Recharging Dock; Pole-type Speakers.

Amazon.com Product Description

The key feature of the Panasonic SL-J600V CD player is the included twin tower speakers that come in the package. These speakers are attached to the docking station, which also acts a battery charging system. This type of docking station and speaker system is perfect for dorm rooms or offices. Simply insert the CD player into the docking station, connect the player to the speakers, and plug the docking station to a power source via the AC adaptor. Remember that these speakers do not have magnetic shielding, so keep them away from televisions, computers and other items that might be affected by magnetism.

The CD player plays audio CDs, CD-R/RW and MP3 CDs. Additionally, the SL-J600V receives FM/AM radio. The FM/AM radio contains thirty presets, allowing for individual settings. With the S-XBS bass boost system, sound quality is improved. There is also a preset equalizer to keep the sounds properly balanced. While no batteries are included in the package, there are many options to keep the player running. The base station will automatically recharge optional rechargeable batteries. The player also runs on two AA alkaline batteries, or through the included AC adaptor. Play time ranges from thirty-five hours (alkaline) to fourteen hours (rechargeable).

To further enhance the versatility of the CD player, Panasonic has included a solid anti-skip system. The player offers a couple of anti-skip options. With the ten second anti-skip option the sound quality is at a premium. For normal sound quality, and better anti-skip protection, use the forty-five second option. For MP3 playing, the anti-skip protection is set at 100 seconds.

What's in the Box
SL-J600V CD player, stereo headphones, AC adaptor, active speaker system (2 speakers and one unit base), user's manual and a one year warranty.

Very Dissatified.......2005-05-21

Bought this to replace an older DVD writer. Easy setup and worked fine for about 3 days. Then problems started. First there were numerous write errors. Then the write speed declined from 4x to 1x or slower. It took 82 minutes to write a 2 GB folder. Then while writing another file it died altogether. No lights were on and it would not open leaving the disk inside. I won't buy a Pacific Digital product again.

don't buy if you need it to work!.......2004-09-17

Buyer beware must be Pacific Digital's mantra. The USB 2.0 dvd burner I bought from them died in under six months. The burner, a lite-on, was fine it was their enclosure that failed. Their customer service was horrendous as was the shipping that I was forced to pay to receive replacement parts, which still have not arrived. If you are looking for a product that will give you reliable service and lasting performance STAY AWAY from pacific digital!!!!

BEST PRODUCT EVER!!!.......2004-07-24

I am a computer programmer/webmaster, so I know A LOT about computers. When I purchased this product, I bought it because I needed a cheap dvd burner for a project I was working on. I bought it thinking it wasn't going to last that long, but I just needed it long enough to do a few projects. I have since found that this was the easiest piece of computer equipment I have ever set up and used. They include a very expensive software FREE - Roxio CD and DVD Creator - which is THE fastest, easiest, and coolest software to burn CD's and DVD's. This drive has lasted a long time, and it was so cheap!!! I relize that this is not a major brand name, but it is much better than Sony or any other major brand. And as for there TECH SUPPORT, i got right through, spoke to an American guy, and solved my minor problem in under 8 minutes. The guy who wrote the review before me has NO idea what the heck he is talking about. Believe me, this is a wonderful product!!!

not bad but there's better for the money.......2004-12-18

If these sold for around $400-500 instead of $600-700, I'd say they were pretty good. However at their usual retail prices around $600 you can do better with lesser known brands like Paradigms, Monitor Audio, Ascend Accoustics, and Axioms.

But the RTi towers are much better than the RTi bookshelves.

An Excellent Camera.......2007-09-08

The Nikon 8008s is a camera that was before it's time when it was released, and is still ahead of it's game. If not for the wide acceptance of digital SLR's, this camera would still be going VERY strong. It has a max shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second (what can't you capture with those speeds), super quite focusing drive, quick response from the photographers touch, and that typically nikon smooth shutter. You won't find a better camera out there!

Product Description

Samsung's compact, user-friendly digital camcorders offer an array of advanced video and audio features. Compact in size and easy to operate Samsung camcorders provide a top quality video image that is virtually unaffected by hand movements during recording. For quality, performance and reliability Samsung camcorders have no peers.

Amazon.com Product Description

In recent years Samsung has gained a reputation for developing great technology at lower prices, which the SCD86 will only enhance. Among its many features are a large 2.5-inch LCD screen, shoe for external accessories, remote control, nine digital special effects, and a color onscreen display with an easy-to-use dial navigation controls.

Lens
The SCD86 has an optical zoom power of 10x and a digital zoom that can magnify up to 400x, which works by electronically enhancing the optical image. It also has a four-step variable zooming speed that controls the zoom according to the amount of pressure you apply to the toggle. The digital image stabilization system keeps the picture steady and solid throughout zooms and camera shakes. The infrared function allows you to shoot visible video in situations with practically no light.

Digital Stills
You can store your digital stills directly onto tape or onto the included 8 MB Memory Stick in JPEG format. MGI PhotoSuite III, photo-editing software compatible with all Windows operating systems, and a USB cable are included with the camcorder.

Inputs and Outputs
The standard DV IEEE 1394 port (also called FireWire) is present for no-loss connections to PCs or other DV machines. Transfer your digital stills onto your computer with the USB port, while the S-video and RCA connections are used for direct viewing on a television or for VHS dubbing. You can also plug in an external microphone via the mic jack for better quality 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.

16-bit audio includes one set of stereo audio tracks to produce CD-quality sound.
12-bit audio utilizes two sets of audio tracks so you can easily add background music or commentary to your videos while maintaining the existing soundtrack.

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.

Customer Reviews:

Not a point and shoot.......2003-10-26

We bought the camera as a return from a major department store that had taken it back from someone who had bought it one day and returned it the next. Most of the attachments were still in their bags. We got a price of $300 because it is a closeout and it was returned.

The first thing I noticed is that you can't even charge the battery without reading the manual. While that isn't a big problem for some, I am sure that it would be frustrating for people who want to pick it up and play with it. I am a little concerned that the dc (power)attachment and the pc (computer)plugs are approximately the same dimensions and are both rectangular. They are not particularly near each other but with someone who doesn't read instructions and is prone to forcing things, something could get damaged.

You get an 8MB memory stick (upgradeable to over 128Mb) for still photos and very short videos but you need to buy tapes. Then you need to be sure that you select the correct recording media on the side of the camera.

The camera portion is 1MB resolution; hardly high quality clarity for a digital camera these days but the video will operate in almost dark conditions. You can send the signal from the camera to a VCR, a TV, or a Computer, so it is extremely flexible.

Overall, if you are looking for a vacation camera that does videos and will take snapshots, this is a good choice. However, you need to read the manual. There are 17 buttons and switches on the outside of the camera alone, so you can't just point and shoot out of the box.

Cool camcorder. Lot of features for the price........2002-12-16

The best thing I liked about this camera is price per feature. I got this camera few days back and have tried all the features in the manual. I am very satisfied with pretty much all the features. The still digital camera mode is ok. The quality is ok for pc application, but just ok for printing. I did not, however expect a lot for this price.
It has everything nite pics, dig effects, back light comp, stab comp, memory stick and a lot more. I am happy with it at this moment. This is my first samsung product so reliability and cust support is yet to be seen.
