Amazon.com Product Description

The HP Pavilion a1330n comes loaded with the all tools you need to easily create, manage, share, and enjoy your digital photos, home videos, movies, and music. It features a wide range of connectivity options for all your peripherals and preloaded HP Image Zone Plus photo editing and management software. Store more music, videos, and data on the roomy 250 GB hard drive. It comes loaded with 1 GB of RAM, which can be bumped up to 4 GB, an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4 GHz processor, LightScribe multi-format DVD/CD burner (plus extra DVD-ROM drive), a 9-in-1 memory card reader that's compatible with today's most popular digital camera formats, Windows Media Center 2005 (with Rollup 2 Update), and a wide assortment of pre-loaded software.

The Basics

Hard Drive: The extra large 250 GB Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive (7200 RPM) offers a wealth of storage space, perfect for storing a vast multimedia collection or for editing digital video. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
Processor: AMD's Athlon 64 3800+ processor is built for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, which will require a processor with significant power. This 2.4 GHz processor offers a system bus with speeds up to a blazing 2000 MHz and 512 KB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.) It includes such AMD features as HyperTransport Technology (which increases the communication between integrated circuits) and Cool'n'Quiet Technology that conserves power while also keeping the PC nicely quiet.
Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (PC3200) is a very good start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and gaming software. This desktop has a very good 4 GB maximum RAM capacity (4 x 1 GB).
CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, the a1330n's multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 16x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds. It also comes with a second DVD-ROM optical drive, with 16x read speed. It also comes with an extra DVD-ROM drive for disc playback only.
This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art .
Keyboard & Mouse: It comes with an HP multimedia keyboard and scroller mouse (both with PS/2 connections).

Graphics and Sound
Video is powered by the ATI Radeon XPress 200 IGP video/graphics card, which delivers good, though not high-end, 3D graphics. It delivers up to 128 MB of video RAM shared with the system RAM. ATI's HyperMemory technology allows the chipset to run in either Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) mode or with dedicated frame buffer memory to enhance graphics performance. It also features an integrated audio card with microphone, line-in, and headphone jacks.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
For expansion, the a1330n has three PCI slots (two available), one PCI Express slot (available), two 5.25-inch external bays (one available), two external 3.5-inch bays (one available), and one internal 3.5-inch bay (occupied).

2 line-in (1 front, 1 rear)

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Garbage.......2007-07-16

I ordered a computer from HP 3 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems. The customer "service" is the poorest excuse for service anyone has ever witnessed. As of now I wold sooner toss the 1400 dollar computer off a bridge than EVER reccomend anything from HP!

Its a Beauty.......2006-04-24

I own this fine product...its really good but not fully stable...it lacks on start up speed sometimes.
Overall good.but not best.

Great computer for a great price.......2006-04-17

The Athlon 64 processor, 1 GB of RAM, and 250 GB hard drive in addition to the other Media Center features are a great value for a little over $700. Unless you're a PC gamer nerd, you should not have any complaints with this machine and you will find that what this HP Media Center delivers far exceeds the needs of the everyday PC user.

Super machine - Great Value.......2006-02-27

System works great - easy to expand - Just plug it up and good. You'll want to add your own software but what comes with it is a good start.

Product Description

Now you can get all the advances that are part of Panasonic's latest line of Hi-Fi stereo VCRs at an unbelievably low price. The PV-9450 has all the features you need to maximize your home theater system. This 4-headed wonder comes with features like a Program Index Search function, which creates an onscreen listing of the recordings on a VHS tape. Select the desired program and the PV-9450 automatically cues up to the start of that segment. It's like being able to rewind and fast forward live television!

Amazon.com Review

The Panasonic PV-9450 is not cluttered with features that you'll probably never use anyway, but it does offer those that are important: 4-head video quality, stereo hi-fi sound, and on-screen programming. The unit also includes Panasonic's Multi-Brand Universal Light Tower Remote, which works with most TVs and cable boxes.

The PV-9450 impressed us with its simplicity; we took it out of the box, connected an antenna and TV, and plugged it in. We then followed the initial on-screen setup instructions and, by itself, the unit found the active broadcast channels and even set its clock. We played a prerecorded tape and found the picture to be crisp and sharp. The PV-9450's audio was rich and full, characteristic of hi-fi stereo.

Another interesting feature of the PV-9450 is a time stamp, which, at the beginning of a videotape, displays the time and date of your recording and the channel from which it was recorded. A tape-position display shows how close you are to the beginning or end of a tape.

The remote control, unlike the VCR, is a bit bulky, and its many buttons get in the way of the few you'll use most of the time. Of course, it is a universal remote, and, as such, must sacrifice some design elegance.

If the most important features to you are 4-head picture quality and hi-fi stereo sound, then Panasonic PV-9450 is a sensible choice.

Pros:

Universal remote works with most TVs and cable boxes
4 heads for a clear picture
Hi-fi stereo for great sound

Cons:

Limited feature set

Easy To Use.......2003-02-11

An excellent VCR, only wish they still sold it. So easy to program, good picture quality and a great price. I'm looking to buy another VCR and will stick with Panasonic. I particularly like the date/time stamp when you record a program. I have owned many VCR's going way back to the old Betamax days(still own it too) including Sears, JVC, Symphonic, Daytron, Phillips but this by far is the easiest to use.

The best VCR I've ever owned........2000-02-09

I love this VCR. My favorite feature is that the clock sets itself by getting the time from the cable. That is great because I never have a blinking "12:00" anymore. Whenever the power goes out and comes back on, the clock instantly sets itself. Programming is the easist feature of them all. I can program up to 8 different blocks of time and it only takes about 30 seconds to program for one recording. Actually installing it to my TV and attatching the cable took about a minute. I didn't refer to the directions at all the entire time. And once it was all plugged in, it did all this stuff instantly and was ready to go. GET THIS VCR.

But will it last?.......2000-01-29

We have a 9450 and have enjoyed it so far. However it is barely out of warranty and just pooped out.

best of the last vcrs.......2000-01-25

I purchased two Panasonics this Xmas. A bargain two head ($75) and a 9451 Model (to get Stereo & the VCR+) Both worked 100% out of the box. Great picture and sound. Last of the quality VCRs and cheap! Made in Japan says it all--quality.

A Really Decent VCR at An Affordable Price!.......2000-01-22

I have recently purchased and used the "Panasonic PV-9450 4-Head Hi-Fi" VCR. I read the VCR's manual to see a list of features, available for this device. After reading the manual and seeing the features, I was impressed. The feature I favor the most is the timed recording (the ability to set a time range and date for programs to be automatically recorded) feature. I'm impressed with this feature for the reason that I miss some episodes of my favorite TV shows and movies that come on while I'm at work, so I can really use this to record and playback anything on TV that I miss. Another aspect of the VCR I like is the low price when purchased at Amazon.com (although, that can change anytime). It is very inexpensive for a VCR. In fact, it's the least expensive VCR I have ever seen advertised. The manual is pretty easy to read and understand, so anybody can learn how to use this VCR in no time.

Steer clear.......2004-12-23

Got this player as a gift a year ago. I've had freezing problems with this player, sometimes from slightly scratched rental DVDs (which play fine in any other player), and the whole unit locks up (sometimes with garbage displayed on the LED display). When this happens you need to pull the plug, as the power button both on the remote and on the unit itself becomes nonresponsive. Have also had some problems navigating the menus on some discs ("From Hell" comes to mind.) This player also has problems playing DVD-R discs -- I have had it play RITEKG04 discs fine but sometimes it will freeze or pixellate during playback of DVD-R. Had no luck at all with cheaper Princo or BeAll blanks. Haven't tried DVD+R, it may work better. If you want to use this player as an audio CD player, note that it doesn't play CD-R at all.

Disposable DVD Player.......2004-01-06

Is this a disposable DVD Player? I used it 5 times and the dvd started skipping. The 6th time it was nonfunctional. Maybe this was Oritron's, "one use and throw it away model." Forget the one star this should be zero stars. It should be called Orbit-ron because after a week you will want to throw it into the orbit.

Do not buy.......2003-12-11

I have used this DVD player maybe 15 times, and now it does not play DVDs. I received this as a gift, so luckily I did not pay for it. This is by far the worst piece of electronic equipment ever.

JUNK...DON'T BUY IT.......2003-07-07

I got this DVD player for a gift. I played 3 movies on it. The picture quality was poor, the directions to use it were poor, and now it doesn't work at all! It won't even open to put a DVD in it. This DVD Player is a real junk, don't buy anything with this name on it!

Break off the edgecrusher.......2002-11-05

This is a good DVD player. It has everything you need, at a price you can't beat. It's such a good buy. It's easy to set up and easy to use. A great first DVD player for anyone who is thinking of getting a DVD player. I wouldn't use it on my HDTV home theater, but if you just want something simple that looks good, this is the one. It has good sound and picture for the price. Haven't had any problems with it, what can I say I love it. It was cool.
