Customer Reviews:

Reasonable, comfortable, good buy and a little complex.......2003-01-28

Update 7/3/05:

This phone is still in use as my daily phone as of this update. It has required a replacement battery. Other than that, its been solid and held up well.

The answering machine does sound a bit dated compared to what is on the market today with the 5.8 phones.

Overall, I'm pleased and do not regret buying it!

...end update

Unlike the other reviewer of this phone. I have been pleased with mine. Sound quality rivals corded phones. The earpiece is comfortable and can provide long conversations with comfort. Caller ID is also easy to use on the lighted LCD. Lighted keypads are also nice.

Answering machine is reasonable also. Its not hifi or anything, but I'd put it in the top 75% in sound quality. It also takes a little bit to set up. I like the slow playback feature of the messages. I use it once in awhile on a person I know who talks really fast!

Responding to the range. Normally 3 houses either way is considered decent range. I don't know what the previous poster had for a criteria. If he wants to go a block, he's bound for many disappointments. I live in an apartment, so I don't need 300' of range. I did test the phone's range once. I'd say I got it to 1/4 of a mile (with choppiness). Anyone considering a digital phone of any frequency should keep in mind that digital is fickle when the signal gets weak or interfered with. Thats why the manufacturers say put the phone in a good central spot for optimum range. High intereference spots or bad locations just kill digital phones. Where as analog phones just get staticy, digital cuts out once it loses a viable signal. It either works, chops in and out or not at all. .

Anyhow, I've gotten away from my review of this fine phone. Only drawback I've really had is programming it. It does take some time with the manual to get it cooking. Thus the 4 stars. Once you have it set though, its a good working phone.

Another feature I bought it for - ringer high, low and off.

Well worth the buy and constructed well too.

nice on the outside but has some odd issues.......2002-04-06

I have searched about every phone looking for a replacement to our old Lucent tech phone. My mom's requirements were for a phone w/ built-in caller id and an answering system, and the phone had to be wall-mountable (the lucent was the same). I found several phones that were good, had caller id, but lacked the answering system or were not easily wall mounted...we bought this phone.

The answering machine sound quality is acceptable. Not great, but acceptable. The mic is on the backside near the bottom. THe sound IS a significant improvement over the Lucent phone which had a very bad mic and fuzzy playback. Using the answering system is easy enough. The manual really is a necessity though, in order to program some of the options, because you have to know the number code for the option u want to set (# of rings, etc...) But it is not hard. Inputing names/numbers into the directory is easy.

The real weakness is the 2.4 ghz transmission. I did a range test with my mom at work and me on the panasonic. I walked around the house and when I had a brick wall and one room between me and the phone (30 feet about) the signal got choppy and cut out frequently. The signal only had good range when the phone was divided by less solid materials (wood/glass) and even then, I got just beyond 120 feet or so (3 houses) when the phone cut out again and i had to run about 60 feet back to re-acquire contact with my mom...The 2.4 ghz phones seem to all have problems with reception and this one is no different. Do NOT buy 2.4 ghz phones! I will now order a 900 mhz digital phone of either sony or Sanyo (highest ratings on range/clarity) or something. This phone is going back ...! Useless piece of junk

Poor Answering Machine Sound Quality.......2002-03-20

The phone works ok but the answering machine sound quality is very poor. I returned it. It is definately not worth the money.

Good product for the price.......2002-02-22

I've got the KX-TG2481S (same model, just silver), and have loved it! I have excellent reception in all locations, and though it takes a bit of practice to use the answering features, you CAN delete individual messages and keep the ones you want to save. I'm not sure why the previous reviewer was unable to figure it out.

I'm able to easily access my messages while I'm away from home, and have yet to have a single problem with a garbled or unintelligible message...

Lasted 4 months.......2002-02-11

We were tired of cheap phones with fuzzy reception, so we wanted a top-quality phone with a lot of clarity. We sure didn't get it here. First off, it's not the clarity one would expect from a 2.4 GHz phone and the answering machine's quality is even worse. The answering machine features are not very user-friendly. I would like to be able to save certain messages and delete others - but it's all or nothing. Looking up saved numbers is not user-friendly, either. Panasonic's customer service on their website leaves much to be desired - all I want to know is if the phone is still in warranty. I don't have to wait in a phone queue, then pay to ship the phone to another state....

Product Description

The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D is a dual-channel 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X SCSI card that delivers fast, reliable performance for enterprise servers and external storage using Ultra320 SCSI technology. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D powers your server with data transfer rates of up to 320 MByte/sec per channel for mainline storage, streaming video and audio, and other bandwidth-intensive applications. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D card incorporates packet protocol, the first protocol change to SCSI in 20 years, and Quick Arbitration and Selection (QAS). Packetized SCSI optimizes bus utilization and minimizes command overhead to bolster performance by transferring commands, data, and status using Dual Transition (DT) data phases instead of slower asynchronous phases. Packet protocol also allows multiple commands to be transferred in a single connection. QAS reduces the overhead of control release on the SCSI bus from one device to another to help decrease command overhead and increase bus utilization.Adaptec has extended its SCSI leadership and reputation for innovation with Seamless Streaming, a technology that optimizes Ultra320 SCSI performance by ensuring fast, smooth handling of data and command packets. Seamless Streaming sends multiple commands in a single connection, and allows up to 512 commands to be rapidly retrieved from its command management queue. It also allows a SCSI target, such as a disk drive, to stream packets of data for different commands with minimum switching time, maximizing Ultra320 SCSI data transfer rates. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D is designed for maximum configuration flexibility and ease of use. Ultra320 SCSI technology is compatible with Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra Wide and all other previous-generation SCSI devices. The card's PCI-X interface enables host bus rates of over 1 GigaByte per second, making it possible to take full advantage of Ultra320 SCSI's doubled bandwidth.

Good, but..........2003-02-23

I bought this Jukebox with the idea of replace my other Jukebox 6000, my digital camera and my camcorder and to have everything in one unit. The MP3 is excelent, Video files converted to the required format are acceptable, but the quality of photos taken and recorded video is very, very poor.
Then if you are thinking to buy this Jukebox like a video, photo and MP3 solution, don't sale your old digital camera and your camcorder, because you will need it!!!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!.......2003-01-08

This is probably the coolest gadget that I own. Let me get my complaints out of the way before I extol the virtues of this fine piece of hardware. 1. FAT32. Why not NTFS? 2. The camera is typical of any camera that attaches to a handheld device. Without proper lighting, your pictures will be awful. Best if used in sunlight. Not for use indoors.
Now on to the good stuff.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to use this. My wife can do it and she knows virtually nothing about computers. Turn it on, plug it in and copy files over. It is that simple. Converting video is easy with the included software. You just pick the video to convert and type a file name in the destination and hit the start button. It is really not hard at all! This is mildly inconvenient, however, so I do it at night before bedtime. Wake up and Viola! Converted video. Of course the video out to TV is crappy. I don't think that this device was really meant to replace your DVD player. If you want to watch your AVI's on your TV go and buy a Video card with TV out for thirty or so dollars. This device was meant for portability and media on the go. Perfect for those long road trips, your doctor's waiting room, and phonecalls from your mother-in-law. The sound is great provided you have some nicer head phones than the ones that are provided. I must admit that I have used up most of the 20Gig but I have a ton of stuff on there. It's good for HOURS AND HOURS of entertainment. Don't hate it because you have buyers remorse due to price. Besides, IPod is twice the price for just an MP3 player. Love it because at least you have a protable HD, MP3 player, video player, camera, camcorder, and card reader in on small package. Trust me, buying all of this stuff separate can cost a fortune!

Product Description

AudioSource power amps provide high sound pressure levels, as well as subtle details, with accuracy and transparency. You won't find better sounding amps at anywhere near the price. A torodial power transformer keeps stray magnetic fields to a minimum, and the discrete output devices ensure pure signal fidelity. Separate channel level controls allow for individual adjustment. A defeatable peak limiter circuit protects speakers from distortion at high volumes, and an auto-on circuit powers up the unit with a preamp signal and powers it down when no signal is present. AudioSource amplifiers, with dedicated power supplies, have dynamic power reserves lacking in receiver combos. AudioSource separates are better able to isolate individual parts, providing a clean signal path. AMP Two is extremely easy to set up. Its Power Output is 80 watts per channel and 200 watts monobridged. You will certainly enjoy the value and quality of your AudioSource AMP Two for many years to come.

Very clean sound, beautiful Vu meters (with backlights), direct input for cd players (preamp is not necessary), and speakers can be bi-wired, bi-amped directly from the back jacks (double jacks left and right). Wow! Sounds more powerful than 80 watts, conservatively rated. Excellent value!

I bought this along with the Pre-Amp. In one word: mind-blowing. The quality of the sound, matched with the killer speakers from Edge Audio, quickly excelled my old Nakamichi/KEF set-up. Wow. Just the best investment for the money, bar no others.

Versatile charger takes up little space and even looks good.......2007-05-28

I've had the Ansmann Energy 8 charger for about 1 year now and it has been excellent. Batteries charge at a good clip, the charger tells you their exact state, and (most important) it lets you charge a variety of different battery types at once.

It doesn't take up much space and even looks pretty good (well, for a battery charger anyway). I highly recommend this -- and in fact 2 of my friends have bought them over the past year and have had similarly excellent experiences. Don't be fooled by the lousy $20 chargers you can by from major battery manufacturers. Those things are cheap and of course don't do well (why should they -- the battery folks want to sell you more batteries, not fewer!). This charger is expensive for a reason. It actually works.

Product Description

Current generation Apple computers such as the Power Macintosh G4 and the G4 Cube come with a new video connector called ADC (Apple Display Connector). ADC is very practical because it supplies the monitor with power as well as video and USB signals all in one cable. Unfortunately, the ADC cable is hard-wired to the display and cannot be replaced with a longer cable. The 1.5 meters (5 ft.) provided are not long enough to accommodate all setups. ADC Extension by Dr. Bott offers an extra 3 meter (10 ft.), extending the range of the display to a total of about 4.5 meters (15 ft.). A passive extension cable cannot go further than that as both the digital video signals and the USB signals that are also carried in the ADC cable will not permit so. ADC Extension offers optimal signal quality so that USB and video signals are transmitted correctly for a great picture and trouble-free operation of USB devices. ADC Extension is compatible with all Power Macintosh G4 and the G4 Cubes that come with an ADC graphics card.
