Fujifilm 128 MB xD Picture Card
from Fujifilm.
As the title says, the xD card is smaller, faster, and uses less
power than any equivalent-sized card. Yeah, it's a new format,
but so what? There are going to be adaptors to let it fit into
other format cameras (supposedly). Plus, it's supposed to go to
at least 4 Gb within a year or ... (Read More)
Creative Labs Nomad MuVo 128 MB MP3 Player
from Creative Labs.
My MuVo died a premature death after an hour of use. Simply stopped working and had to be returned. Creative Labs "support" for this product was unresponsive-- no help from the live technical Rep or e-mail support. [Weak] customer support for troubleshooting product which can only mean that the ...

iRiver SlimX iMP-400 CD/MP3 Player
from iRiver.
Before I give my review, why are people paying $80.00 for this product insead of getting the just as great SlimX iMP 350. There is actually no difference, except for the remote. On the 350, it uses 75 degree rotating dials on the top and bottom for navigation. It's no hassle to change music. On the ... (Read More)
SONICblue Rio S35S Sport 128 MB MP3 Player
from Diamond Multimedia.
I bought this mp3 player and I am extremely satisfied with it. The player has a lot of functions including a stopwatch, FM radio, equalizer, etc... There are definitly no bugs in the program and very easy to use. PROS: 1. Small (very small!!!), durable and handy 2. The software was ... (Read More)
iRiver SlimX iMP-350 CD/MP3 Player
from iRiver.
The iriver SlimX iMP-350 is a neat MP# CP player - when it works. But it has several bugs. when playing an MP3 disk, if it encounters an error (a not too unlikely occurance), it shuts itself off. Ugh. Also, the rechargeable batteries lose their capacity rapidly; mine went from holding about 5 hours ... (Read More)
SanDisk 256 MB Secure Digital Card
from SanDisk.
I just got a Toshiba e310 and although 32MB is a big step up from my old 8MB Handspring I need more. This 256MB SD card is great. I keep all my mp3s and files on here. I've had no problems with it at all. I would be nice if it had a larger capacity like the compact flash cards, but it doesn't put ... (Read More)
SanDisk 128 MB CompactFlash Card
from SanDisk.
I was looking for the cheapest digital camera I could find that would take adequate shots of small collectibles for listing on eBay. I bought the Argus 3200 at a great price, knowing it had almost no internal memory. A second problem was that my older system has no USB port. My solution was to buy ... (Read More)
Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox Zen 20 GB Digital Audio Player
from Creative Labs.
When I decided to upgrade from my old Rio to a 20GB mp3 player, this is the first one I purchased. Not because the reviews were so great, but because I'm a hardcore PC guy who has an aversion to anything Apple. I had this thing for about two weeks before returning it to the store. First the ...

SanDisk 128 MB SmartMedia Card
from SanDisk.
Sandisk is a reputed memory manufactuer. So when they were selling a 128 mb SM card, for $$$, i could not resist upgrading the memory on my nomad. Amazon shipped this in 3 days flat with FREE shipping!!!! ;-) The product arrived neatly packed. u get a case with it and a label. There are no ... (Read More)
Creative Labs HD0003 20 GB Nomad Jukebox III
from Creative Labs.
I had the first Nomad Jukebox, the I-Pod, the Archos Jukebox and the Rio Riot. And finally I turned back to the Nomad Jukebox (3), even the size was bigger than all the others. The sound and the way you handle the unit is outstanding - it's just a joy to listen and work with this thing. None of the ... (Read More)
Zenith DVB216 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
from Zenith.
Using this with a Sony 51" HDTV and it is great... The only issue is that subtitles will appear and stay on even when "no subtitles" is chosen on a DVD menu. Since I don't have the manual, I'm not sure what to do about it. Also, Zenith's web site is down (?!). All in all a fine player - ... (Read More)
JVC HR-XVC1U DVD/Hi-Fi VHS VCR Combo
from JVC.
Overall, this player works great and was fairly easy to set up. However, the display is ugly (orange lettering that reminds me of my alarm clock) and only displays minutes, not seconds. Also, the lack of universal remote is a drawback. Finally, I was disappointed to learn that you can only record on ... (Read More)
Panasonic PV-D4762 DVD/VCR Combo
from Panasonic.
This device is infuriating. I want to be able to change channels while continuing to record (whatever new channel I change to). It is impossible to do in any practical way. It forces you to quit recording if you want to change channels, overly protecting you from yourself. At the same time, if you ... (Read More)
Philips DVDQ35AT DVD Player
from Philips.
It's hard to tell if this is the same one I bought, since Target doesn't list model numbers on this site. I bought the Q35A, partially as a replacement for my CD player.
Unfortunately, this DVD player, while it's great for DVDs, is a *really* poor CD player. It has none of the standard features ... (Read More)
Mintek Portable DVD Player #5830
I did a lot of research trying to decide on which portable DVD player I would spend my money. I was looking for a light weight player that came with a battery that would last at least 2 hours. I also wanted a player that would play movies without any hiccups or delays and that had a good display ... (Read More).
Zenith XBV243 Dual Deck DVD/VCR Combo
from Zenith.
This is a GREAT player. Selling factors of this unit were versatility, some of which are connections including component, composite, S-Video, digital audio out, RF in and RF out. This is especially great for folks with older TV sets wanting to go DVD. I can also attach it to a newer digital quality ... Zenith XBV243 Dual Deck DVD/VCR Combo(Read More)
Toshiba SD2805 5-Disc Carousel DVD and CD Player
from Toshiba.
I've had a string of players with what I imagine are [bad] video decoders; my Onkyo would sometimes just freeze up at one screen for about five seconds, the RCA not only did that, it produced horribly pixelated scene transitions. The RCA also seemed to put out terribly low audio levels; I had to ... (Read More)
Audiovox DVD1680 Portable DVD Player
from AudioVox.
I am writing this because it was from reading the extremely helpful reviews here at Amazon that I purchased this very item. I usually buy higher end stuff, and would have preferred the pricey Panasonic, but I decided to try out this Audiovox player because of the good price and reviews. I was ... (Read More)
Sony DVP-NS715P Progressive Scan DVD Player
I purchased this DVD player from a local retailer in 2001 and I have been very impressed with the picture quality it displays on my 36" Wega HDTV. The video has absolutely no scan lines that I can see within a reasonable distance from the HDTV. The audio outputs allow you to have either optical ... (Read More)
Philips MX5000D DVD Home Theater System
from Philips.
Well, it's NOT a powered subwoofer... no matter what the above description says. The sub enclosure's side panels vibrate as much as the speaker cone. (I'm not kidding.) The sub is used to too-high of a frequency and it's not very clean. Overall, the sound was inferior to a Philips MX995(?) home ... (Read More)
