| Gear4 | StreetParty Size 0 | I was given these speakers as a Christmas present to go with my new generation ipod touch and have been very pleased with them. Mine work fine with the new touch even though it has internal speakers and I needed to do nothing but plug it in!! I have so far experienced no crackling or interference either. I do concede that the dock seems a little flimsy but with careful handling should be fine. Would have bought these for myself!! | | Amazon Reviewer | 03/01/2009 01:01:01 |

| Sony | DAV-F200 | This equipments resonably priced and produces excellant sound. When playing DVDs it upscales beautifully and the picture quality is suberb (use a HDMI cable for the best picture as this made a big difference to my set-up). I was also impressed that the DVD units flat and compact, just like an LCD TV and can be screwed to the wall below your television negating the need for a horrible rack to house a conventionally shaped DVD player (It looks excellant). The sound is crisp and the bass unit rumbles brillantly. This was particularly cool when watching Saving Private Ryan. Its like the tanks are driving through your living room. | | Amazon Reviewer | 28/12/2008 01:01:01 |

| Sony | 7inch Digital Photoframe | Have just received this as a Christmas gift (albeit, specifically requested) and I am very impressed with it.
In common with the other reviews, this is a high quality piece of hardware and produces very good results for the price with many useful features to enhance the viewing experience.
Like others, a rechargeable unit would make it a little better, but that has to be set against remembering to charge it and moving it to a charging point anyway so its not too much of a problem. And yes, a wireless set up would save some inconvenience in adding/editing files, but for the price, neither feature is going to be available on a product of this quality.
If you dont have a mini USB cable already, it would be a little annoying to find that one isnt supplied, but most folk with a computer and digital camera (without which this product is limited in use anyway) are likely to have a suitable cable in their arsenal of bits.
I would recommend this product to anyone considering a digital photo frame. | | Amazon Reviewer | 26/12/2008 01:01:01 |

| Telecam | TCE2000 | This is an appauling aerial. I`ve got an older indoor aerial that picks up all the channels and this picks up nothing. What a farce. Don`t buy it. It is a waste of money. | | Ricability lies | 14/05/2007 15:38:01 |

| Sony | DAV-DZ260 | Bought this as a surround system for the new PS3.
The optical input takes care of that nicely and the sound from it is superb.
Its not audiophile kind of quality but for £150 region, yu cant go wrong.
It has enough inputs aswell as the digital media portwhich is a saviour for ipod users as you can control the ipod from the remote.
No gripes here as setup was easy and there was ample speaker cable

| Sony | DAV-DZ260 | Most of the reviews say it all. I got this to make my PS3 games sound better & for getting that brilliant sound watching DVDs. The DVD player upscales better than my PS3. Playing DVDs (except Blu-Ray) on the DAV 260 also saves wear and tear on the more expensive PS3. Watched the Pirates of the Caribbean trio and they sounded amazing. The Night mode is good to quiten bass down, but I also found I needed to turn off dynamic bass (button on the remote) to really quiten it down late at night. Overall very good for the price.
If I was pushed into being picky, I would say that the unit is rather deep compared with normal players so sticks out of the shelf a bit. The manual is a bit complex if you have no knowledge of Dolby Pro Logic, Digital etc. And I also agree with a previous reviewer that voices lack a little warmth at first. By this I mean that all the speaking scenes sound like the person is standing in a studio speaking into a mic rather than outside or whatever location they may be in. But you dont notice it 10 minutes into a film. But for the price...I mustnt complain. An excellent buy!

| Sony | DPFV900B.CEK | what more can I add?, I have had a few digital photo frames but this one is superb!! Easy to use and most of all the picture quality is absolutely fantastic.
I will be definately buying more of this particular frame in the future rather than going for a cheaper and inferior frame. | | Amazon Reviewer | 19/01/2009 01:01:01 |

| Sony | DAV-DZ260 | The Sony DAV-DZ260 surround system is brilliant. I have connected it up to my TV and PS3 and the sound is crystal clear. The built in DVD player is an added bonus and is very quiet when playing a DVD. I am surprised that this system isnt about £400 because of the great sound, picture and build quality. I paid just under £120 for this around the start of janurary which is a real bargain. | | Amazon Reviewer | 18/01/2009 01:01:01 |

| Sony | DAV-DZ260 | A fantastic piece of kit at a great price. I had to wait a while for delivery as they where out of stock, but well worth the wait. I set it up in 15 minutes and the sound quality is fantastic for the price. I would advise anyone who wants a reasonably priced unit to go with this system from Sony. Take my advise and buy it from Amazon its a great deal. | | Amazon Reviewer | 18/01/2009 01:01:01 |

| Sony | DAV-DZ260 | As another reviewer said, this shows you no longer have to pay loads these days to get a decent sound system... Ive got the DZ260 connected to a Sony Bravia KDL32-D3000, and heres my view:
Sound: Ive never had a surround sound system before, so Im no expert, but Id say the sound is very clear with good bass. Ive certainly got no problem with it - it really adds to the film experience. For 129.99 (Comet), you really cant go wrong! Im really into my films and music, and Im totally happy with what I hear from this system. You get a "Night Mode" which softens certain sounds for evening/night viewing so you can have it quite loud without waking the neighbours (seems to work pretty well) and you can set up speaker volumes separately depending on your viewing position (can do this automatically using the microphone if you like - again, works well). There are quite a few settings to play with, and my only gripe is that it doesnt remember the settings for each "function" (TV/DVD/Music/Radio etc), like my Sony TV does for each AV input. What I mean is, when I know Ill always get a full digital input (DVD), I want it to always be set as DolbyDigital, whereas for Freeview TV, Ill always want it set as ProLogicII. I have to do this manually each time I switch.
Connections: Currently have HDMI from this system to the TV (for DVD picture/audio) and an optical cable from the tvs optical out to this system (so anything playing from the TV plays from this system instead). Ive also got an Xbox 360, which isnt directly connected yet because you have to buy the special xbox cable that includes optical out. But if I do that, Ill have to get an optical splitter, since my TVs already taking up the 1 optical in on the DZ260. However, because my TVs linked to the DZ260 via optical and the Xbox to the TV by HDMI, I can get ProLogicII out of the system when playing Xbox. I have to say, its great! So much so, I probably wont bother with the optical xbox cable!
Picture: I recently had a dedicated upscaling dvd player, which I thought would be better than this combined DVD/audio system. Wrong! The upscaled picture via HDMI from this system is better. Some DVDs are pretty close to HD, in my opinion, whereas some just look a bit better than standard DVD. Either way, I love the picture clarity Im now getting.
Finally, someone mentioned problems with BraviaSync. Mine works most of the time, although sometimes the TV speakers come on when I switch to DVD mode, although Ive set it to mute TV speakers so I can enjoy full Dolby Digital. I think this only happens if I manually switch the TV to the DVD AV channel rather than letting the player do it (since it can do that now I get control via HDMI!). Oh, the remote control is also pretty good, as it allows me to control most of the common TV functions too (because Im BraviaSyncd).
In summary, good audio and great picture, but more than a few inputs and youll be using cable splitters etc. Im a very happy Sony customer, as usual.
Hope this helps. | | Amazon Reviewer | 17/01/2009 01:01:01 |

| Sony | DPFV900B.CEK | Initially I gave this frame 5 stars and a very favourable review but Ive been using it a fair bit since and there are a couple of niggles that I think are worth pointing out. Firstly the fact that some edits made in Photoshop or other apps appear to prevent the frame from displaying these images (you just get a question mark instead). This does not happen for all edited images (many of mine worked fine) and I eventually got the duds to work by re-exporting from Photoshop. However its a bug that Sony should have identified and ironed out. However, worse is the cropping issue - I cant be doing with a landscape frame showing landscape shots with either black bars either side or zoomed in using the fit to screen feature which wrecks my composition and arbitrarily cuts off someones head in the process! I realise that for portrait shots in landscape and vice versa there will always be a trade-off and ideally you need two frames (one for each). However I did not expect to have to manually crop a load of shots to 15cm x 9cm in order to fill the frame on landscape which means I lose some of the image.
Now I know about this I guess I can account for it in terms of composing future shots but its a really annoying downside nonetheless.
All that said - its worth doing because the visual quality of this frame is simply stunning, it has superb build quality and some nice additional touches. To have matched the formatting to most digital cameras however would have really nailed it.
I still love it - but its more of a labour than I though it would be. Still 5 stars but only because the results make the extra effort worth while. | | Amazon Reviewer | 28/11/2008 01:01:01 |

| PHILIPS | Video Sender | We`ve had one of these for 4 years now, it transmits through 2 breeze-block support walls and 3 plasterboard. The Transmitter is about 55 feet away from the Receiver in diagonally opposite corners of a 4 bedroom house. The house also has a wireless network system linking 5 computers and a cordless phone system with 4 handsets. There are no discernible issues between any of them, even when the 4 `channels` that the Philips can use have been tried. We did find that one channel gives a much clearer picture than the others, but *all* of them work, producing a fair to good picture, but that one channel is basically `spot-on`. I`m not sure why the Nov 2006 reviewer would suggest range issues or problems with other wireless devices, although in fairness I sent our first system back as remote control signals sent back to the transmitter didn`t work, perhaps his also has issues. I am an IT engineer with networking qualifications, but that said, I haven`t had to `tweak` the wireless network/computers and I`ve done nothing to the Philips either. They co-exist quite happily with the cordless phone system, all working as they came out of their respective boxes. We use it to send both DVD and Sky programs to our bedroom TV from the lounge - and other than when the microwave is in use, sound and picture are excellent. Microwave ovens DO cause massive interference but that is a known issue with all AV senders (Google for any make of AV sender reviews - invariably someone mentions it...). The picture received by the TV in the bedroom is clearer than terrestrial channels from the indoor aerial on it - it`s that good. Widescreen switching works flawlessly. Bottom line: Yes I`d buy another without hesitation. | | Martin Wood | 13/09/2007 10:33:55 |

| PHILIPS | Video Sender | As long as you don`t need to send the video more than 3 feet then these are ok. Although it manages to screw up wireless Internet pretty good from a distance of up to 500 yards!
If you`re neighbour is a tech-head and you want to ruin his day just switch these babies on and they will scramble his signal and render his wireless network defunct. I had great fun watching BT engineers come and go for weeks.
I offered to fix it for him but he decided to give up on wireless and stick with RJ45 rather than pay my fat fees ;-)

| PHILIPS | Video Sender | I got this video sender to replace a 2 year old phelix wand with faulty video. The audio is ok so thats on my hi-fi now. ;-)
This Philips video sender looks great and does not look out of place with your AV gear. My old video sender just had 1 scart in. But this one has 2 scart in and two out. This makes it easy to connect it into your AV setup. Picture quality is really good - sending signal directly above to my bedroom. I could not get my TV to auto switch into wide screen when the signal goes into and out of the sender. This may have been the scart lead I was using and not the fault of the unit. I have now wired it up so both my inputs dont use the output scart of the sender. My old video sender did not work too well with the Sky remote system - I could not point the remote directly at the video reciever unit. This Philips works well with the Sky satellite reciever.
Very good bit of kit! | | Ian Watson | 16/01/2003 11:03:29 |

| Ross | TV200 | I`ve managed to pick up virtually every Freeview channel by putting this aerial on an outside window ledge and pointing it towards the nearest transmitter. The fine tune control can be very useful; some channels may work better by clicking the wheel to a different setting. |  | Harry Forrest | 16/02/2007 18:06:57 |

| YAMAHA | DSP-E800 | A huge improvement over my previous Kenwood pro-logic processor amp. This machine really draws you into the movies. The only big downside is you can't get surround sound with CDs without using the preset DSPs i.e. no tone defeat setting. | | | 21/10/2002 10:12:20 |

| Labgear | 1 Set TV FM Signal Booster | Purchased this to improve the signal for use with a DVB free-to-view digi box. The DVB box without the booster was showing a 5 out of 10 signal quality and with the booster it was 9. I tried it out on a portable with indoor aerial - all channels were grainy, channel 5 was unviewable, with the booster 1 to 4 was clear, 5 was grainy. |  | Burt | 04/02/2003 10:05:44 |
