Works well enough and eminently practical!.......2003-12-04

This unit is discontinued now but for reference purposes: overall it is a decent performer for a basic mp3 player. It DOES come with a USB connection (I think a previous reviewer was referring to the AR-100 Duo player--an earlier model).
I don't listen to audiobooks but as an mp3 music player it has performed well in the cassette mode and as a stand alone unit.
Downloads were easily accomplished using the furnished software.
Customer service through DUO was outstanding.

PROS: *compact size (great portability!)
*practicality (works great in the cassette deck or with headphones)
*good customer service from the parent company

CONS: *low flash memory (expensive to upgrade with mmc)
*no lcd display
*sometimes need to "reboot" before playing or downloading

Not as advertized.......2003-05-29

Liar Liar. Be aware this item does not have USB connection, nor does it allow upgrade to 96mb as advertized. Play audible? No way with this model.

Wish It Worked Better.......2002-01-28

I have had this product since April 2001. When it works I love it; when it screws up [which is often] I want to throw it out my car window. Whenever I get back into my car, it seems to have jumped backwards at least 15 minutes in the book I am listening to & then I have to go through the tedious FF exercise & never quite know whee I am. The most frustrating part is when the machine skips forward. I have no idea if it's a minute forward, an hour forward AAAHHHH. But when it works, it's wonderful having it.

Convenient but flawed.......2001-08-09

The form factor is great for use in the car but note that you'll need a cassette player you can feed the Digisette's power cord into (the result is just like a "cassette adaptor" for a CD player). When the battery dies while playing, the unit remembers where you were when you *started* playing. This would not be an issue if it were not for the Digisette's other problem, when playing audio books the fast-forward and reverse controls are completely useless: they send you to either the start of the program or one chapter from the end (when they change the program at all). This makes using the unit tedious because you can't rewind a little when you miss something.
The bundled software is also pretty lame in that it offers little help for figuring out how much more music you can fit in the remaining space and it has issues detecting the device.
The hardware is fairly cool but it's let down by indifferent software both in the unit and on the PC.

Digisette 32MB MP3 player.......2001-06-17

I love the fact that it plays on the casette deck in the car. I only give it 4 stars because there isn't a lot of memory. it holds about 10 songs unless you buy the memory upgrade.

Overpriced and low quality- You pay for the name.......2004-02-01

Bose has designed a system which probably costs them less than $400 in parts to build and retails them for close to $3000. Yet consumers still buy into this. Incredible.

Bose has made a name for itself by aiming its advertising towards consumers with little or no knowledge of audio equipment. It sells speakers and systems like this that are of poorer quality and absolutely worse performance than its competitors. I know, I owned several Bose products for years (901s, 301s and 201s) until I began to learn more about audio technology and quality. I was literally blown away by the quality of commonly sold Polk speakers when placed next to Bose products. Polk isn't "cutting edge" but builds a decently designed product for its price point.

I recommend that you look at other products here on Amazon. There are several Pioneer, Sony, JVC and Kenwood DVD/CD players and A/V receivers that are offered for less than $500 combined who VASTLY outperform Bose.

As for speakers Amazon carries Polk, JBL and Wharfedale ANY of whom offer loudspeakers with substantially better engineered insides. Most important of all these speakers sound heads and tales better than Bose for around $250 to $1000.

Bose is a testament to the power of advertising over product. In many ways it is a fascinating company whose products are based on late 1960's theories of audio using tweeters and woofers that Radio Shack parts outperform (this isn't a joke but has been measured several times by audio enthusiasts).

It's an All-in-One!.......2004-06-15

I haven't had any problems although it may be a little louder than most printers - it isn't compared to most all-in-one's I've heard. Great buy!

nightmare compaq a4000.......2003-04-16

Not even a year ago I purchased my compaq a4000 all in one fax printer scanner..Its simply a night mare and the tech support has been just as bad..The replacement ink cartridges cost 70 dollars.Take my advice and buy a fax machine and a decent flatbed scanner and simple printer.I guarantee you won;t be shedding as many tears as me.
I am willing to give this piece of junk away to the first person who asks.

Compaq A4000 printer.......2003-03-15

This is basically a good printer but it will not do all that is claimed for it, namely, scanning can be done only one page at a time. It can scan into "pictures" then accessed by your word processor. but it requires editing for corrections. I used it with Windows XP Home Edition. Technical support from Compaq was not always correct. But a replacement was promptly provided when I had trouble with the first one. It is slow to respond and somewhat noisy in operation.

Great Printer - Worst Software Implementation Ever!.......2002-12-09

This is a great multi-function printer. The printing, faxing, and scanning all work great. The problem comes when you hook it up to the computer and install the Compaq provided software. The software is incredibly buggy, and neither compaq nor hp has taken the time to batch any of the bugs or offer new drivers.

I would hold off on this product until they release improved driver support.

NOTE: I'm running Windows2000, you may or may not have more luck in WinXP.

Great for All-in-One.......2002-09-04

If you are looking at a all-in-one product for home use, compaq a4000 is ideal. I have been using it for the last 6 months and it works great. The printing is good. The scanner is perfect. Copier and fax are just working fine.

The only disadvantage I see is the loading tray for scanning and copying, its little difficult to handle and is limited to size and thickness of the paper.

Product Description

This cable is widely used in the interconnection of audio/video equipment. Even the most common of products can demonstrate AV Link's quality. Using solid PE or foamed PE to insulate, it has a low dielectric constant to ensure low capacitance and to transmit with high fidelity. Spiral shield or multi-layer braiding and 100% conductive PVC shield minimize circuit interference. A magnetic ring and inductance are added to further eliminate interference to signal transmission, thus ensuring a high signal-to-noise ratio.

Don't buy it from e-city.......2006-08-25

The guys from E-City just deliver the scanner with no CD Roms for installation and no USB cable. I paid US$ 300 for a scanner I cannot use.

Great over-all scanner!.......2003-08-31

I needed a new scanner to use to to scan many journal articles into PDF format for a personal library. This scanner works without any problems. It is fast and the automatic documnet feeder is great. For scanning photos, the reproduction is also great. I have a Mac running OS X and it is compatible without any problems. A very good scanner for the money. No reservations on recommending this product!

Unbelievable Value!.......2001-05-03

Buy it! The scanning is fast, the sheet feeder is unbelievably accurate at feeding paper, the graphics quality is superb, the user interface is easy to use and navigate, and the options available are almost limitless. I have owned 6 scanners in the past and this is indeed the best scanner I have ever owned. Buy It!
