waste of time & money.......2007-02-14

Upon testing this antenna I soon noted the signal strength significantly weaker both for transmittiny and recieving

Simple and easy to use.......2006-11-04

This wireless antenna works very well and it was simple to install. I simply unscrewed the antenna on my wireless nic card and screwed the antenna connector in. My only problem was that the cord connecting the antenna to the nic is too short. It needs to have a few feet of cord.

Hawking Hi-Gain antenna not as advertised.......2006-02-06

I bought this antenna hoping that it would improve signal strength as they advertised 6dB on the box. The performance was worse than the original 2dB antenna that came with my wireless adapter. Back it goes.

Hawking Hi-Gain is really a No-Gain.......2006-01-26

I would have to agree with the majority of assessment of this product on Amazon: this product fails on every count.
1. Most significantly, product does not perform as described. Signal strength not "significantly improved." In fact, no change in reception at all. I have used this in my one-story home and in a café I work at with no effect whatsoever.
2. When there is a rebate, it is more trouble than it is work. [...]

6db gain..........2006-01-18

...increased my signal strength, but only a little. I finally went out and bought a new Linksys wireless router with SRX200 and - guess what - it increased my signal strength as well - but only a little. In sum, I believe this antenna works as advertised. But I've learned a lesson: next time I'll simply purchase a repeater (but, too late now!)

Wow! a motorized winder!.......2004-06-07

The world of the One Time Use Camera is certainly changing. First we have the Kodak High Definition Camera's come out in 2003-04 with super-fine grain pictures. Then this year Fuji bring out a "Quicksnap Smart Flash" camera which has 2 Flash options and gives brighter backgrounds in nightime shots. Now Polaroid has brought this camera out which winds the film after each shot automatically! Wonder which of the film giants will be the first to release a One Time Use camera complete with a self-timer? :o)

Amazon.com Product Description

Even if your living room is the size of a shoe box, you can still enjoy versatile entertainment performance from Panasonic's PV-DF2004, which crams a 20-inch TV and a full-featured DVD player and hi-fi VCR into a single compact and attractive unit. Video capabilities include VHS, DVD-Video, and audio CD playback. The set's PureFlat picture tube delivers a distortion-free picture from corner to corner with precise, brilliant color reproduction and extraordinary clarity. Front and rear A/V input jacks allow easy connection to other home theater components like receivers or decoders, camcorders, and video games.

The DVD player delivers high-resolution video images and high-quality audio. It's equipped with Dolby Digital and DTS outputs so you can connect it to your surround-decoding audio/video receiver and surround speaker system for mind-blowing home theater sound. Those lacking the room or the budget for a full surround system can still enjoy rich-sounding movie soundtracks, thanks to Panasonic's simulated surround-sound effect, which uses the TV's built-in stereo speakers. Additional DVD features include picture zoom, auto switching field/frame still, and multi-language, multi-angle footage.

The set's four-head VCR comes equipped with auto clock set, which uses the Extended Data Service signal carried by many PBS stations to set the time. A back-up system automatically resets the time and date within 24 hours of a power outage.

Panasonic has imbued the PV-DF2004 with its Ready-to-Play feature: as soon as you plug it in the combo will automatically sets its clock and local TV channels.

Customer Reviews:

Sweet unit at an excellent price.......2005-07-12

i'm delighted with this set. we watch a lot of dvd's, but still have quite a few vhs tapes in our collection as well. this unit bypasses the headache of connecting a vcr, dvd player, and tv. no need to set up a separate cd player in the room either, the dvd drive plays cd's & cdr's too. what's not to like?

the set has a nice crisp picture: some of our vhs tapes haven't looked this good in years. but we're even more impressed by the audio: in a small room, the surround sound feature is sweet and almost creates the aural illusion of a modest home theater setup. one word of caution: this set has more back end than people tend to associate with tv sets these days; you'll definitely want to compare its dimensions with your target space.

if you're looking for an all-in-one solution for a bedroom, small family room or den, you'd be hard-pressed to do better than this for the money.

Very disappointed - limited dictionary.......2003-02-22

I bought this device because I thought it might help me on a vacation to Spain. Boy was I disappointed. The number of words especially common travel/tourism related-words, that it knows is small. The unit is hard to operate. Even the travel alarm is poorly implemented. Save your money. Buy something else (like a good phrase book).

Disappointing, I returned it........2002-04-19

... Unfortunately,while I found it very easy to operate and very compact, I found using it to be quite disappointing. The first word I looked up was the German equivalent of "train" but the Seiko didn't contain "train," "train station" nor "locomotive" in its dictionary. Considering that much of European travel is done by train, it seems a pretty basic word that should have been included in an item aimed at European travellers. Ironically, they did include "trainer," which I think is far less necessary than train. The currency converter is useless - most of the buttons are for currencies no longer in existence since the Euro is now the standard in most European nations.

Almost all handheld multi-language translators have some common drawbacks and this one is no execption. Here are some examples: In order to translate a verb, you must provide the infinitive version in the foreign language. No gender articles are provided. The vocabulary word total given is for all of the words combined from each language -not for each individual language. This type of device is really just meant to provide catch-phrases and very basic vocabulary only. The Seiko was much easier to operate than others - I did not have to read the directions to figure out how to select the desired language and it was easy to figure out how to enter words. Also, the Seiko is backlit and easy to read - the letters are very clear and huge. It is sturdy looking and sleek,fitting easily into a pocket. Despite these positives, I found it much less expensive and much faster to look up words & phrases in a tiny traveller's dictionary/phrasebook. Therefore,I am returning the Seiko.

Nice for the price.......2001-07-11

The Seiko DF4033 Language Translator is a nice little unit. It's small enough to fit into a shirt pocket, but it will bulge a bit, since it is about 3/4 of an inch thick. It has a backlight which makes it easier to read the screen in dim light. However, each of the keys serves two functions: the main function (such as a letter or numeric value) is printed right on the key and is easy to read, whereas the secondary function (attained by pressing the SHIFT key) is printed in orange over black making it harder to read even in normal lighting and I've found it impossible to read in dim light.

The unit is somewhat intuitive and appears well constructed. It has a number of phrases in various categories (accommodations, dining, health, shopping, travel, etc) that could come in handy. But, like most of these units, I've found the number of such phrases to be very limited. The alarm clock is a nice feature as is the phone directory. And you can even replace the battery without losing your stored data. You have 30 seconds to do so!

The letters on the screen itself are large and easy to read, but this limits the number of letters that can be seen at one time to only 12 per line. You can see the additional letters by pressing the scroll key. However, in translating some of the phrases the first few letters of a word can appear at the right end of screen on the first line and when you press the scroll arrow the screen image jumps to the remaining letters, essentially bisecting the word (you never see the entire word at the same time.) It would have been better if they had wrapped the phrase into the second line on the main screen so you would not have to scroll at all.

I think it would have been a nice feature if the translated word also showed the gender, where appropriate, and if phonetic assistance in pronouncing the foreign word was provided. There is room to do so on the second line of the display. Unfortunately, I have not found any reasonably priced translators that will do so, including this one.

Overall I like the unit and for the price I think it is a pretty good deal. For the casual traveler who does not know the language I expect that it will serve you (and me) well.
