Computer Reviews

It is a best phone i have ever used. Really good features. Sound is great and battery is awesome. I recommend that phone.

I was on the quest for my match - my phone match that is. And I finally found it. I was very frustrated, since I went through one phone after another. Would take it out of the package, read the booklet, get the battery charged and then - nothing but dissapointment. Tried the VTch and Uniden and now this Panasonic phone. Even though I thought it was a little pricy I decided to give it a try. Does not have an answering machine, but that did not matter to me, since I have Voice Mail. Right from the start I was excited, since I just had to charge the phone for 6 hours and not 16 like the other phones. Excellent clarity and reception. Another feature I love is, that I am using the 10-10 phone #'s for cheap long distance and this phone can store phone # 36 digits long. So you plug all the numbers in and just hit "phonebook" and "dial". Great! Bought the phone in the blue/purple color. It also has a battery indicator like you know it from your cell phone. So, when the battery is getting low - put it back in the charger. I would recommend this phone to anybody.

I've been looking for a decent cordless phone that doesn't cost a lot and will handle CID/Call Waiting...but, I also wanted something that doesn't feel like a pile of plastic in my hand and look like a cheap stamped out generic device. This phone, so far, has exceeded my expectations. Everything about it is quality. The packing..the included ear piece headset...the built in speakerphone...the manual. The one thing I wanted to find out in the manual was how to treat the battery and it defined that perfectly. I kind of knew this already, but it was great to see that they spelled it out in print. To achieve maximum memory/charge, it's important to let the battery discharge all the way before charging it again, at least for the first few cycles. Amazingly, this manual pointed that out.
The ear piece was, at first, hard to put on, but, duh, I read the manual and am now wearing it with great pleasure and fit...as well as great audio. It even has a volume and mut control on the cord.

Anyway...I'd recommend this phone highly. Comes in blue or red...I got the red..different and flashy.

This is a nice unit, all analog, good amplification with good room filling sound. Recording off the FM tuner their's almost no degration of playback sound. Sensitive microphone, picks up outside sounds and voice clearly. Tone control works well, uniformly turning down only the treble, which is nice for tapes that have a really sharp treble. Tape transport is smooth and handles tapes gently. I removed the cover, inside is quality and the speakers have large magnets. AM has excellent sensitivity, but slight quircks with FM, occasionally hearing 2 stations at the same time. Their's not much movement on tuner knob. I wish AFC was added to FM, as this would help prevent drift and make for easier "dialing in" of stations. FM static can be annoying, but directing the line cord-antenna carefully gets rid of it for the most part or switching to FM mono for weak stations but then you won't hear the spacious stereo sound. The FM tuner on this all analog unit could have been a little more refined but I can live with it.
Overall a great compact simple low priced boombox. Now if only Panasonic would bring back their beautiful boomboxes of the early 80's? Perhaps a Special Edition? In silver?

I had one of these little guys back when I was 14. I am almost 23 now and I have to say, these things will take massive punishment and STILL work amazingly well. The technology is dated, to be sure (Since we now have handheld video camera's that record on CD-R's in real time) but if your looking for something to take to work and want to be comfortable leaving it laying around and want to just have it on the radio, this is it. I remember they had amazing sound and clarity. I would say if your going to leave it in one place, and wanted to update it, hook it to your CD player with a cassette adapter. It will sound great. Great for work, but bad for home. Why? ITS OLDER TECHNOLOGY! 'Nuff said. But great if you wanna go retro and listen to some old beats and break dance!! :D

I purchased this item because of the name Panasonic and also I was looking for a SMALL UNIT to carry to work I saw the word MINI and thought it was small as they did NOT include the dimension of the unit now I have to pay for returning it and the inconvience DO NOT USE THE WORDING MINI IT IS VERY DECEIVING PLEASE GIVE DEMENSIONS WHEN DESCRIBING ITEMS TO BE ORDERED OVER THE NET.

This CD/DVD system is one of the best out there. The sound is just awesome. It has HDCD capability, so CDs recorded in 20 bits rather than 16, sound like they are being played live right in front of you! It has a manual equalizer so you can change bass and treble to just how you like. The bass and treble both sound great. The speakers have virtually no excess noise. The system is compact and rather light so it will fit in tight spaces. Most of the controls are on the remote control, keeping the face of the console clean looking. I haven't hooked it to a TV or computer yet but I expect it to perform just as well. This is something you should really look into if you have the money, instead of buying an ugly, bulky stereo.

I was looking for a mini system with good sound and DVD playback and found it. The sound is great. It has all the features you can expect. Being able to have 5 CD/DVD/MP3 is very useful. It is just what you need if you want value for your money. Even the speakers are very good and solid. It even shows on the TV screen all details of CD/MP3.
Panasonic did a good job with coming up with a system like this.
The only thing i am waiting for is for Panasonic to come with a subwoofer to add to this system. That will be great!

This thing is worth 6 stars. I don't think I've ever seen a more bang-for-the-buck piece of electronics gear. IMHO, the best feature wasn't touched on by lazer's great review.

I was kind of taken aback by the lack of MP3 display on the front panel (the lesser panasonics do)--until I hooked it up to a TV. Wow--forget the 8 character lousy component DVD players...this has a full description layout for both MP3 and even regular CDs (that's what that option for CD-Text means). If you can afford it, your search ends right here. Period.

From dizzying features, build-quality, looks and sound, nothing can touch this--no, not the new similar JVC 77u either (and I'm a big JVC mini fan). For comparison in the Panasonic line, the difference between this and the lesser SC-EN7 is like a Yugo vs a Ferrari. Just buy it!

Delivering high quality at a low price! This RCA Televisivion has all the bells and whistles and is worth every penny!

This television has amazing image quality for a 13 inch television. I've ran DVD's, videotapes, video games, cameras, and everything else imaginable through it and they all show up with excellent color and quality. Sometimes it seems that the volume fluctuates (how loud a certain spot on the volume bar is seems to change) but I'm guessing that's just my cable provider. Overall, a great value at under $100.

I wanted a new tv for my room and picked up this one because of the av hookups, the brand and the price. It also looked pretty cool too. The child lock on the front should be on ALL tvs. The commerical skip buttons is cool too.

if you are looking for a lcd monitor with tv tuner/pip/video capability, this is the one for you. unless you want the larger size version, that is.

great picture, sound quality, and features... you can't go wrong buying this monitor. only con is not having an included dvi cable.

So, I've been indoctrinated into the Samsung MP Monitor strategy. I owned the 150MP moved up to the 170MP and now I just bought the 192MP. As PC Monitors, I find all of them to be pretty good. What I'm always looking for is a better TV/DVD. I was disappointed with the 171MP with it's lack of ability to connect a DVD player (although it did HDTV). So, that's when I bought the 170MP.

I looked at the 172MP, but if I was going to do, I was going to do the 192MP. I also looked at the 173MW which is a very nice monitor, but it was 17" as well although it is 16:9. It also had some nice PIP with side-by-side configurations. In the end, the side-by-side made the computer screen very small and I decided against it. I also looked at the Sharp LL-M17W1U, but again the 17" was too small in a 16:9 format. Both of these made the PC monitor screen too small.

How do I like the 192MP? It's great.

Pros
*Better speakers than it's predessors.
*The component connection with progressive scan capability is awesome. The past monitors were better PC monitors than video. This one is very nice with the component connection for DVD. I would say the video has surpassed the quality of the PC screen. (Haven't tried HDTV yet).
*Connections on the left side (for headphone, composite/svideo w/audio) are easy to access although it would have been nice if they face backwards instead of out to the side.
*The connections on the back are easier to get to than previous models.
*The wheel around the power button for channel and volume is a nice touch.
*Menu, Exit, Enter, Source, PIP, MagicBright buttons on the right side are handy.
*Having only the power button with the channel/volume ring makes the front look very clean and elegant.
*The infrared for the remote is below the power button works better than previous placement on the top. On older models, the placement at the top sometimes made it hard to get to with a glare screen on it.
*The monitor knows when nothing is connected to an input and it will skip it as a choice when scrolling through the inputs. So, you don't waste time passing through inputs with no connections.
*I don't do gaming, so I don't have an opinion there.
*There's a wide mode for the screen to watch DVDs in the 16:9 aspect ratio.
*PIP can be 4:3 or 16:9

Cons
*I liked the other models which showed which input it was on using LEDs and they took that away.
*Doesn't have a line out to let me go between external speakers and internal speakers (but the connection is on the side, so it's easy to pull in and out).
*The PIP isn't very flexible with size (one size) and position (four positions). The older models had more flexibility. The 150MP the most. It diminished a little with the 170MP.

Conclusion - This is doing what I want (above the 170MP I had). Bigger, better screen. Great for DVDs with component progressive scan. The speakers are much better. The look is much cleaner and it's more ergonomic. I'm very happy with this monitor. It's just really expensive. But, I think it does deliver.

I shopped around for a flat LCD monitor with tv tuner. I didnt find much out there. I found this one and really liked all the features it has to offer. The quality and clarity is very crisp and clean. You can plug cable to this monitor and watch cable tv while you work on your computor from home. I recommend this LCD 19" flat monitor to anyone. A little expensive but well worth it.

This is an excellent product, with very smooth action and easy to use. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. I had considered more expensive turntables for my 27-inch TV but relied on reviews of this product from previous purchasers. I agree with everything they said. You will be pleased with the Sanus TV27 turntable.

I did a little research before buying and found a lot of expensive TV stand/turntables and others that looked cheap and unattractive. I'm very pleased with this one - it is very good quality construction, turns smoothly, never feels rickety or unstable, and blends perfectly with the black TV.

I recently purchased this product. I am very pleased with it. The turntable fits perfectly under my 27 inch TV and turns so easily.It fits so well that it looks like part of my TV. Anyone who might be thinking about purchasing a turntable would not be unhappy with this purchase. It is a great product.

This is a great multi format player. So far I've been playing a lot of DVD-R's with excellent results. I was having a lot of problems with my previous JVC player.

Fantastic Video, excellent audio, heavy feature set, and looks great...but that's not why I bought it.

In the past, if you wanted max format compatibility, you had to sacrifice video quality. Sure, you can stick a slice of pizza in a Sony DVP-NS725P and it will play a Little Caesars commercial, but the video quality is horrendous. I searched high and low looking for a player that can read a wide range of formats, including DVD +R, without having to sacrifice quality...and just when I was about to give up, someone turned on a Grail shaped beacon.

Enter the Pioneer DV-563A. I dropped in every +R that I have and it played them flawlessly. No skipping, no laser chirping. It even played disks on lower quality media that were burned right to the edge. Absolutely awesome.

By the way, the specs do not advertise +R and I am using a recorder that supports bit setting so your mileage may vary.

I wonder why there isn't more interest in this player that has the unique ability to play both of the new formats. I bought mine for my mid level surround system and couldn't be more pleased.
I don't know it may compare with the $$$ players, but I find
the aural experience of SACD and DVD-A very nice for this price.

I was searching for a radio that was more sensitive than the previous radios I had been using, not only on the FM band, but also on the AM band.
The FM band receives like my car stereo does. It picks up about every station I would want to listen to and a few others I couldn't pick up from within my house. The AM band is sensitive, but being that I live in a rural area, I suspect it will be even better when I travel with it. The TV band also picks up very clear.
The radio has simple controls and is designed to be easy to use. The backlight comes in handy if you like to listen in bed.
The retracable ear phones are adequate and help reception on AM stations.
All in all, this was a great buy I would recommend to anyone.

Wow! This is what I have been looking for! A pocket radio with the following features: good reception, digital tuning, light, alarm, clock, presets, good speaker sound, fits in my pocket, has built in earbuds (that retract with a push of a button!), stereo FM when you use the earbuds (or your own headphones), lock switch, TV audio, built in telescoping antenna, auto turn off after 90 minutes (which you can easily cancel). This is a great radio, the best pocket radio with a built in speaker that I have seen. Sangean usually has terrible reception and their radios usually have a lot of noise between stations but this one receives and selects as well as my Sony! Definitely get this if you want apocket radio with a speaker!

Since receiving my Sangean220V radio, I hate going anywhere without it, even into the next room! I love knowing I can flip it on to keep me company whenever I get bored or things too quiet. I don't want to damage the earbuds, so I leave them retracted and use a separate headset when I'm not using the speaker. Reception is great on this little dude, and I got an AC Adapter at Radio Shack so the radio can keep me company by playing all night. I spent some time with the manual, and as a result am able to pretty much do the controls in the dark! It does have a display light, a clock and an alarm, but I don't really use those. I just love having a little radio I can tune easily using the digital tuning, and listen to without having to plug up my ears. It's small and easy to take along. I love it, and want a spare!
