Amazon.com Product Description

Easy to set up and even easier to operate, the compact and affordable GoVideo DV1030 gives you a full-featured DVD player/CD player to handle your movies and music--including MP3 files stored on CD-R or CD-RW--and a built-in four-head, hi-fi, stereo VCR to play your existing library of videotapes and record new programs. Front-panel audio/video inputs accommodate camcorder and gaming hookups, JPEG picture CD playback lets you watch slideshows of your digital photos, and the unit's compatibility with recordable DVDs (DVD-R, DVD-RW) makes copying your homemade tapes to discs, and vice versa, a breeze. The combo unit even lets you watch a DVD or listen to a CD while recording a TV show.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DV1030's DVD section stands ready to deliver the full potential of your commercial DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Even without an HD-ready set, the component-video outputs can be set to output interlaced video, in which they help minimize line-scan and digital artifacts on compatible televisions. Composite- and S-video outputs bring DVD compatibility with nearly any television.

In the audio realm, two sets of left/right RCA analog-audio outputs (one each for the DVD player and the VCR) channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. For immersive home-theater audio from DVDs, both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's optical digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: 3D Surround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).

This model's four-head VCR design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, while hi-fi sound records and plays back stereo audio tracks. If you route the stereo output to an AV receiver, you can even enjoy four-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded videotapes. Convenient features include eight-event, one-year programming, 19-micron heads (which deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in extended-play mode), and auto clock and channel sets.

Same results as others.......2005-12-05

It worked ok for a year. although I agreed with another reviewer who commented on the bad remote. After about a year it started giving me the bad disc response! I would not reccomend this player.

Worked fine for approx. 8 months then died.......2005-11-21

DVD side of this player says all my discs are "bad discs". I have to smack it on the sides or top to make it work. But even then in the middle of the movie it dies. I have even tried cd/dvd cleaners to no avail. So I will be buying a new dvd player because this is an extreme annoyance.

One thing I never liked was the remote control--buttons are tiny & not clearly marked.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS DVD/VCR player no matter how low the cost!

Don't buy it!.......2005-04-19

Yes, believe the bad reviews and save yourself some major frustration. The price suckers you in. This product worked ok for a year, but once the warranty was up, the machine stopped working altogether. The "professional service" is a joke. They don't care, and it shows. It would cost more to fix this piece of junk than to buy a new one, and that's what I have to do. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

govideo dv 1030 is good buy.!.......2005-04-08

the go video i have the dv1030 dvd/vcr is good,i purchased it here on amazon.com.i was alittle afraid due to some of the reviews i looked at, but mine is find;the dvd plays well and the vcr is ok.only thing i could see the vcr picture is alittle soft.due to no h.q. circuits,other wise i found it's agood buy.

Stay away from Go Video.......2005-03-20

I purchased this player from Ecost.com and was over charged. The unit I bought was factory reconditioned, so I figured it would be in mint condition. It never worked on the DVD side when it arrived. These units when not working are to be returned to Go Video for repair. So you are stuck with paying the shipping to them. This will cancel out any great buys you might think you are getting. STAY AWAY FROM GO VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy movies, music, slideshows, and more on the remanufactured GoVideo DV1030, which combines a progressive scan DVD player with a four-head hi-fi VCR. It's the perfect machine for users who want access to the latest video technologies without sacrificing their old VHS collection, and for folks who want to record from the TV without investing in a more expensive DVD or digital video recorder. Video playback is crisp and impressive thanks to the progressive scan technology, which stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs when connected to an HDTV. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Though DVDs are clearly the feature attraction, the DV1030 also plays several other audio and video formats, including audio CDs, CD-R/RWs, DVD-R/RWs, DVD+R/RWs, and MP3 or JPEG files recorded on a CD-R/RW disc. The VCR portion, meanwhile, offers playback of traditional and home-recorded VHS tapes, along with recording from either the TV or DVD player. It even lets users watch a DVD and record a TV program on VHS at the same time. In addition, both slow-motion and still-frame images look smooth and clear thanks to the four 19-micron heads, which ensure the best possible picture when recording.

Audio-wise, the device supports 5.1-channel surround sound through its built-in Dolby Digital and DTS audio outputs, along with virtual 3-D surround. Additional features include a 181-channel cable-ready TV tuner with an eight-event/one-year timer; multilanguage onscreen programming in English, French, or Spanish; component, S-video, and composite outputs; two stereo RCA audio outputs; and a full-function remote control that operates both the DVD and VCR portions.

The DV1030 measures 17 by 3.6 by 10 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty on labor.

Amazon.com Review

AT&T's 9400 telephone offers cordless convenience. And with the 900 MHz frequency band and digital spread spectrum (DSS) technology, you also get great range, clarity, and privacy.

Setting up the phone for basic operation was easy--we just inserted the battery pack, plugged in the AC adapter/recharger, and connected the phone cable to a standard RJ-11 jack. We recommend that you allow the battery pack to charge for an uninterrupted 12 hours before using the phone.

You control the features through the base unit's two front-mounted buttons and two side-mounted switches; the handset has eight buttons and one switch in addition to the usual 0 through 9, #, and * buttons. Using the features is straightforward and very easy, but you may need to consult the manual to learn the more advanced features, such as storing and editing numbers for memory dialing.

We were surprised to see that this phone has a page/intercom feature, not just a handset locator. It was unclear to us why the AT&T 9400 has the speaker and microphone in the base unit, but doesn't include speakerphone functions. Still, with its well-chosen suite of features and its DSS technology for clear sound, greater range, and better security, this is a nice cordless phone for home or the office.

Pros

DSS for clearer sound and longer range
Long battery life
Easy to set up and use

Cons

Has intercom but no speakerphone functions

GREAT PHONE, buying a second one!!!.......2002-03-26

This is the best cordless phone I have ever owned, and for the price, you can't beat it! I have used noisy cordless phones that pickup interference from florecent lights and computers, but this phone is crystal clear when near both. Range, you want range, this phone has range. I live in a canyon and I got in my car and drove up to the top of a hill and was able to dial out. This was line of site approximately 1/3 of a mile, NO JOKE. I have dropped this phone on concrete and it still works fine. Best part is the battery life, it goes days before needing charging. The phone is very comfortable when you have it up to your ear. It also has a mute button which works like a hold button, push it once muted push it again off mute. The ONLY down side to this phone is the belt clip, it has cracked. I would also have liked a backlight for the touchpad, but I guess you can't have everything.

Great deal!.......2000-07-05

I've used 900MHz phones in the past and been disappointed, but this one exceeds my expectations. The clarity is great, and I was surprised that I was able to use it over a hundred yards from my house. I know the literature says it can go farther, but I was still surprised. No echo or feedback of my own voice either that I'd experienced with other phones in this catagory. What are you waiting for, get one!

no headset!.......2000-06-29

Not a bad phone, but one of the reasons I bought this model was the review that said it had a plug for a headset (sorry, but the DUH doesn't apply - there are no plastic plugs to remove, and I double checked the manual to see if I was indeed missing something obvious. The other reviewer must be using a different model - maybe the 9410? Now we have a headset with no phone to plug it into!

Can't beat this phone for the price.......2000-06-23

This is a tremendous deal for a 900Mhz DSS Phone. I have found this phone VERY good quality with no complaints what so ever.

Worst ATT Phone.......2000-05-06

This is the worst att phone that I have had. DO NOT BUY IT. But all the other ATT phones are great. I have 2 9450 (good) and 2 9400 (bad) The only problem is that they are all 900mhz DSS and if you are talking on one and so is someone else, if you get too close to the other base or phone it creates interferance (kind of like what you would get with a digital cell phone). But this would probably happen with any DSS/2.4 ghz phone.

COBY always gives pretty good value items. This player satisfies on all counts. It can read the ID3 tags from the MP3 songs and display them. The car kit works pretty decently. The only possible problem with this is that sometimes the bass boost makes a jarring sound.

Amazon.com Review

At just over a pound, the lightweight ZR40 from Canon makes an excellent camcorder for the beginning digital-video enthusiast. This compact and comfortable camcorder offers high-end features found on much more expensive cameras, yet is easy enough to use that a novice can begin filming right away.

The camera is sleekly designed, and pieces pop out of the ZR40 from all sides. On top, the adjustable lens viewer also slides in and out so you don't have to hold the camera too close when filming. You can also use the 2.5-inch LCD screen, which swings out of the left side of the ZR40. It also twists and can be flipped over, providing myriad filming angles.

While we were suitably impressed with the image of our capture video, the sound of the camera's motor could be heard during some of the playback. It's a minor annoyance, which can be overcome with an optional external microphone.

With an 18X optical zoom (as well as 360X digital) intuitively placed next to the right thumb, the ZR40 is able to get up close to the subjects you're filming. Canon's image stabilizer worked well at correcting the "shake" common to handheld cameras. And the camera functions as a digital camera as well, taking snapshots in addition to video.

The ZR40 offers a variety of connectivity options, including FireWire ports, composite AV, and S-video. You can input from an analog source such as a VCR, TV, or camcorder and convert the signal into digital video. It also ships with a handy remote control (with a range of 16 feet) that handles the record functions and can even zoom the lens in and out.

Various special effects modes are incorporated into the camera as well, in addition to a new low-light mode that allowed us to shoot footage in the evening. There are DV cameras out there that do more than this one, but for most users, the ZR40 does plenty and does it well. --J. Curtis

Pros:

Compact and comfortable
Easy to use
Excellent zoom

Cons:

Some motor noise

Amazon.com Product Description

Improving on an original can be a daunting task. Canon has succeeded quite well, thank you. The ZR40 is the successor to the ZR20. Canon increased the optical zoom to 18x--the digital now sits at 360x--and added an analog pass-through port. Although the ZR line featured analog-in for dubbing your movies to MiniDV, the new pass-through port allows you to go straight to the computer, eliminating a possibly cumbersome step.

The ZR40 also has a lot of the same features that made the original a lot of fun. A 2.5-inch LCD is swivel-mounted, permitting the shooter to use the camera at odd angles. Various digital effects and autoexposure modes help ensure your footage turns out well. Finally, Canon threw in a low-light color-shooting mode that makes the ZR40 that much more attractive.

Customer Reviews:

OK for several years...then it got hungry........2006-10-07

Yes it does eat tapes. I have the camera and I have owned it for about 3 years. It did some fine work. I have no complaints except if you need a camera that will never eat tapes, be very wary.

I posted my movies on a couple of websites. I make short movies. I used the Canon ZR40 and made movies with the Sonic Foundry Vegas 4 editing system. It made fine movies in the wmv or rm or mov for Quicktime web formats. My short films are at hollywoodscreams and myhollywoodstar and those are dot com, of course. They are family friendly.

Recently I tried to rewind a tape. It got mangled. I figured it was just the tape. I tried a second tape and another. Each time I would record something OK but the tape would get jammed during rewind. On the movie Hollywood Screams I rewound each scene by hand. That is very hard to do. I had to use two toothpicks to hold the cassette lid open so I could pull the tape out and then wind the spool by hand. It was very time consuming.

The video looks good and I never noticed noise. I am sure each brand of camcorder has some problem. Canon has a mechanism that mangles tapes in rewind after several years of use if my camcorder is typical.

Tom Willett

Fine until it started eating tapes.......2006-07-14

Like many of the other reviewers, my ZR40 is now giving me the infamous "Remove cassette" message and is mangling tapes. I have used it to record maybe 7 hours worth of video over the last two years. Search the web for "canon zr users group" and "eating tapes" to hear similar horror stories. Stay away from Canon camcorders.

Worked Great - eats tapes after some use.......2005-10-24

Like many who have found this camcorder, I liked the canon name and bought based on Canon and value. It was a mistake because I don't feel I should have already used up the life of this camera yet. If you go to several discussion groups you will see it has several issues with the deck, i.e. "transport". Just google zr20/40 etc. and "eat tapes". Suggest you try Sony or Panasonic.

Awful Company. Awful Product. Run! Run! Run!.......2005-01-05

Well where do I begin? After a month of use, the battery stopped working. Contacted Canon via email. They replied battery is not under warranty. Would you like to buy another one? Please.

6 months later. I started transferring video to my computer only to find out this stupid camera eats tapes. I have lost two tapes so far. One of them was my son's birth!!!!

The eating tapes issue is a major problem with this unit. They have known about it and continue to ignore it. Do a search on "zr40 tape problems" to see what I am talking about. There are even more results on sister product, zr10. I will never buy a product from Canon again. They are idiots for doing this to their customers.

always "remove the tape" message.......2004-10-26

I bought this model 18 months ago. Now it has big problem. I can't rewind the tape well. "remove the tape" mesasge always pop up. I sent it back to Canon for repair. They asked me $169 for repair. What can I say now? Too bad camcorder.
