Product Description

The PV-D4762 Double Feature combination DVD player and four-head, Hi-Fi stereo VCR lets users record a TV program and watch a DVD at the same time. It also plays DVD-R, CDs or home recorded CD-R, CD-RW2, or MP3 recordings. The PV-DV4762 adds progressive scan capability. When connected to a digital-ready television through the component jacks, progressive scan can deliver the very sharpest picture the DVD format has to offer. Other step-up features include Commercial Advance and Movie Advance. Commercial Advance marks the beginning and end of each commercial segment while the VCR is recording. During playback, the system detects the marks and automatically skips over the commercials.Adding to the unit's versatility is a wide array of audio/video jacks, namely: discreet component video output, S-Video output, dual RCA A/V outputs, optical digital output and RF in/out. In short, all the connections you need whether you're doing your viewing on a 5-year old mono TV or a big-screen digital set hooked up to a surround sound system. The deck also includes Dolby Digital and dts outputs for digital 5.1-channel surround.

Amazon.com Product Description

Panasonic's PV-D4762 is not only incredibly convenient, but also one of the first combi models to offer a progressive-scan video output, providing top-of-the-line DVD picture quality when used with a high-definition or HD-ready TV.

Video Features
Progressive scanning displays all 480 video lines in one pass, rendering horizontal image lines sequentially rather than interlacing the even lines with the odd. This equals high vertical resolution and flicker-free, high-density images--reason enough to make the HDTV leap. The included S-video and composite-video outputs work just fine with most older TVs. The PV-D4762 plays standard DVD-Video discs and most DVD-Rs (recordable DVDs), from which you can easily make VHS copies of weddings, birthdays, etc. For the VCR, the Commercial Advance lets you hop past three minutes of commercials in about 25 seconds, while Movie Advance scans the beginning of a rental video to skip the previews. The unit's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion (in forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images.

Audio Features
The PV-D4762 is compatible with standard CDs, audio CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and discs encoded with MP3 audio files. (CD-R/CD-RW playability may vary depending on contents and discs.) It can simulate surround-sound effects using only two speakers, so you'll still be able to appreciate a sense of surround sound even if you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup.

Connections
In the video realm, you get standard composite-video, S-video, and premium component-video outputs for the DVD player (one set each), as well as two sets of composite-video inputs (one on the front and one at the rear) and one RF (cable-type) input and output for the VCR. There's also an optical digital-audio output to feed a surround-sound signal to a Dolby Digital-decoding or DTS-decoding AV receiver. It has stereo RCA analog audio outputs as well. In addition, an illuminated multibrand universal Light Tower remote control is included.

WORKED WELL FOR 10 MONTHS.......2004-07-24

I paid $300 this model last year. Within 10 months it stopped working properly. The DVD would play some discs but not others and gave me an error message that made no sense "Check disk to see if dirty." Some of the disks that got this message were right out of the manufacturer's box!! Some disks worked fine, so I thought it must be reacting to an anti-copying coding, or something. Then a few months later, the VCR started to chew up my tapes. I decided to throw the whole unit out. I would not recommend this model. I do not know what is going wrong with Panasonic. Quality control has gone downhill, judging by this unit.

Call it unreliable.......2004-02-10

I putchased a PV-D4762 DVD/VCR deck in June/03. Initially I found the instruction booklet very irritating and difficult to sort out - the layout is very poor, and not well organised at all. The remote is rather unwieldy with alot of buttons - more than necessary. However, it performed the tasks at hand, and as a pioneer in the field of combos it seemed satisfactory. Last week, after owning the machine for 7 months, the DVD player starts giving the message "Please check the Disc, and for stains or scratches on Disc", when it refuses to play. This message made no sense as the disc was brand new. Despite using a "disc cleaner", the problem didnot go away, so the machine is now being looked at with an "authorised dealer". I expected better performance from a machine I paid $279.99 for - certainly more than the limited amount of service I have experienced. Therefore, I cannot recommend this brand.

Piece of Junk.......2003-10-29

I bought this in March 2003. In Sept the DVD quit working. I called Panasonic about it and they wanted me to drive 60 miles to the closest authorized repair facility. Found out the DVD card was broken on it. They would not cover the parts even though it was still under parts warranty. The part was over $200 and that is what I paid for the machine. Panasonic sure is a bunch of junk if things are breaking within six months. I used to buy a lot of Panasonic electronics, but never again.
DO NOT BUY this. You will just have all kinds of problems.

It's Too Clever by Half.......2002-12-06

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 run out of tape while recording, it disables numerous functions on the VCR and never gives you any clue as to why. You can't even then display the tape position or counter. You will think your equipment is broken. Finally, it integrates very poorly with the same manufacturer's TV. I would love to get my money back.

Good Transition from VHS to DVD.......2002-11-29

Purchased this unit about two months ago and have loved it. Like many, we were concerned about all the VHS tapes we had collected over the years and we did not want two different units stacking up in the entertainment center. So far, the unit has handled all tapes and DVDs flawlessly. As other reviewers have said, installation was easy. I'm not a high-end videophile, so the comments about it not being a good home entertainment center did not concern me. But we were able to hook it up to a shelf stereo system with two speakers, so we have been able to approximate home theater that way. All in all, very pleased with this purchase.

Product Features:

Trio of video-shielded satellite speakers (left, center, right)

60 to 20,000 Hz frequency response

Made from 1-inch high-density fiberboard and finished with capirona wood in medium cherry

86 dB sensitivity

5.25-inch woofer, 1-inch tweeter

ASIN: B0000542AB

Amazon.com Product Description

The EdgeAudio 502D compact loudspeakers with DiAural technology are remarkably smooth and lush two-way satellites speakers, capable of filling a room with rich, accurate sound. When used in conjunction with the EdgeAudio 502D-LR (a pair of 502Ds) and EdgeAudio SW-12/320 powered subwoofer, these speakers are capable of extremely satisfying home theater performance.

The 502Ds are built around a 5.25-inch woofer/midrange driver, which is engineered to handle a very wide frequency range, as well as a smooth, accurate, 1-inch tweeter to reproduce the high frequencies. The tweeters and woofers are made by Vifa, the esteemed Danish manufacturer whose products are usually found in high-end systems costing thousands more.

EdgeAudio is the first speaker maker to introduce the revolutionary DiAural technology in an affordable speaker. The DiAural circuit is a new, patented crossover technique that fosters proper communication and interaction between transducers (midrange drivers and tweeters). This new and innovative process results in fewer parts, less distortion, lower production costs, and renders the high-frequency and midrange transducers virtually incapable of burnout. By eliminating the distortion associated with traditional crossover technology, the revolutionary DiAural circuit in the 502D creates a sound so open and natural that you'll forget you're listening to speakers.

By incorporating the DiAural circuit to interconnect the drivers, EdgeAudio speakers reproduce music and movies with a coherent, open, and natural sound that brings the original source to life in your home. With a frequency response of 78 to 25,000 Hz (+/- 3dB) and a sensitivity of 88 dB, the EdgeAudio 502D series is capable of producing astoundingly accurate sound reproduction at volumes uncharacteristic of a speaker its size.

The drivers are housed in beautifully finished, ported cabinets made with a dual-composition design of 1-inch HDF (high-density fiberboard) interior and a solid wood exterior in a medium cherry finish. The walls of this cabinet virtually eliminate measurable wall resonance and are much more rigid and acoustically dead than the medium-density particleboard commonly used to build speaker cabinets. The 502D cabinets are further dampened by the inclusion of internal bracing and acoustic damping material inside the cabinet to eliminate high-frequency reflection. The result is a truly beautiful small speaker, capable of producing rich, full sound with an amazingly large sound stage.

Excellent for home theater and music.......2002-01-25

I purchased the LCR plus the LR speaker packages for a total of 5 identical speakers, and they actually turned out to be the newer Aperion Audio 512D's.... The 502s and 512s differ only in the dimensions of the cabinet and the cabinet materials. The 512s are improved, but both use identical drivers (internal speakers) and circuitry inside the cabinets.

The center speaker is identical to the L+R speakers, but with a horizontally mounted nameplate on the grill, rubber feet mounted on the side and horizontally mounted speaker connections. The cabinets are beautiful and the speakers include 5-way gold plated binding posts.

I have these speakers mated with an Adire Audio Dharman powered subwoofer and my home theater sounds incredible. You definitely need a powered subwoofer with any small satelite style speaker since smaller speakers are incapable of producing lower bass ranges. Nonetheless, these incredible speakers are rated down to 60Hz, which is very good for a speaker of this size.

The speakers themselves are small, but put out incredible sound. You need a decent powered receiver for these speakers (such as on Onkyo TS-DX595 or a Denon 1802) since they are fairly low on the sensitivity scale.

Cheaphometheater has a nice review of these speakers.

The best review came from my wife who said "wow, I can't believe how good these sound" when listening to The Eagles DTS DVD.

Excellent for Home Theater!.......2001-02-19

I purchased the EdgeAudio 502D-LCR kit and SW-12/320 sub to complete the audio portion my home theater setup. They are awesome! They replaced a pair of Boston Acoustics A40s and a 8-inch KLH subwoofer that I'd used as a stereo pair (actually the A40s are now the rear channels).

The increase in detail while listening to music was jaw dropping. The high end, at first seemed a bit recessed, but as I listened to more CD's that I knew well, I realized that they were smoother than I was used to. All of the highs (stuff like cymbals) were beautifully detailed. I also noticed an increase in detail in acoustic instruments. The sound stage, with and without the center channel, is three dimensional and transparent.

The speaker enclosures are solid and assembled and finished with great craftmanship. They are beautiful pieces of furniture and sound as good as they look.

Amazing.......2004-03-24

The Compaq iPAQ 3765 is an amazing PDA. Well, it's not really a PDA, it's an actual Pocket PC. You have to see it to believe it. It's got Pocket PC 2002, and it's awesome. It's got Microsoft Pocket Word, Pocket Excel, and basically Pocket outlook just spread into mini programs. If you don't want to sit at your computer and read your emails cause your in a rush, just sync your computer with your pocket pc and your ENTIRE inbox will be synced to your iPAQ. I basically created my iPAQ into a super iPAQ. I got the keyboard(which is fantastic), the dual slot flash card expansion pack, a 256 meg flash card, and a MGM flash card reader. A Palm pilot is NOTHING compared to what this thing can do. THey have so many application for this pocket pc. You can play your MP3's on windows media player, watch movies or clips on PocketTV(Download the software), Play games such as the Famous Age of Empires(INCREDIBLE) Rayman, Packman and many more. Print with it, play multiplayer games, make cartoons on PocketFlipbook(Download) surf the net(Need wireless), and more. Plus they now have mad an espansion card so you can get PHONE SERVICE on it. This is one of the greatest Technological creations ever.

awsome.......2003-11-07

i paid $120 on other sites the same thing was going $499

A high school junior.......2003-10-02

It helped me tremendously when doing my school work, This is because I could type notes on it (with an ipaq compatible keyboard, not included) without using a BULKY and indiscreet laptop, and easily EDIT my notes (sooo awesome and better than using the old fashioned wire-bound paper notebooks) when I transfer the notes to my computer. Highly recommended for students. BUT, the aspects of it that helped me in school are ones that you could find in almost any PDA retailing about $150 and up (due to "DocumentsToGo" and "4.0 student" software. Both are very necessary for students). You see, I had a Sony Clie SJ20 before I upgraded to this, and I realized that both did the same in terms of school work.

The main thing I don't like about it is the seemingly false advertising from compaq, saying you could get internet access. Not that you can't, you CAN, but only after purchasing

1) an expansion pack: WHEN YOU ADD THE EXPANSION PACK, FORGET THE TERM "POCKET PC" BECAUSE IT WILL NOT FIT WELL IN YOUR POCKET. It also makes it heavy. I hate the expansion pack because it's so bulky, and you can't find any cases on the market to fit the ipaq and the expansion pack, except for the case made by the manufacturer. I actually considered making my own case for it (because I'm into arts and crafts) just so I didn't have to spend more money on a case. Due to the expansion pack, I wanted to upgrade to one of the newer and smaller models of the ipaq because the unit is so indiscreet with the expansion pack.

2) A compatible Sierra Wireless Aircard: a lot of places don't even sell them

3) And setting up the internet service you will get (your new account) through a phone company. Hard for me, some places don't do internet access through pocket PCs.

Not to mention that the expansion pack is another $70-100 added onto the original price of the ipaq, and there's the price of the aircard and internet service (so monthly payments mean more money added onto the unit). So, when the company says, "internet access", be very wary of what you're getting into because a lot of leg work and money is involved. In total, the things previously mentioned are four extra things that would have made me not buy the ipaq if had known about them before.

The other thing I wasn't satisfied with is the windows media player, on which you can play MP3s. You can only play about seven of them, unless you install more memory (and getting more memory means getting a memory card, which means getting a dual slot expansion pack, which means more BULK...uggghh). I haven't tried a movie or any visual on it yet.

The battery power dies out quickly as well. So be prepared to see the "main battery low" sign appear on the screen every couple days or so (with regular usage).

Overall, if you want true satisfaction with this product, be willing to spend an extra $200-300, in addition to monthly internet service payments, and go through a lot of leg work.

MY SUGGESTION: buy a more expensive PDA that has built in internet access (well, if you want internet access at all...and if you don't, it's not really a pocket computer/PC), or simply save lots of money and don't buy a PDA with internet access. It seems that there are lots of great PDAs on the market that have all the same features that the ipaq 3765, minus the internet. Overall, the whole internet illusion that is set forth by pocket PC manufacturers isn't as easy to obtain as it seems with any pocket PC out right now (because even with the ones that claim they have built in internet, you still have to buy a specific and very expensive internet card, in addition to monthly service payments. Hope this helps!!

I'm Not Surprized...It's a Compaq Right!.......2003-02-22

I like the features of the unit. The PC compatibility, the ease of the async software and the display. However, like many many others, I am very disappointed with the longevity of the battery life. To put it bluntly, It SUCKS! Maybe 4-6 hours in the standby mode while not in use and at best 1-2 hours when on. It must stay in the charger to be any good at all. Also, with no backup battery to hold data, a long day or trip is out of the question unless you can charge in route. My advise...look at another option to purchase if you need to use this other then on your desk and in the charger cradle.

Poor battery life. Large size. No integrated media slot........2002-10-28

The battery life is pretty bad. Battery looses it's charge after a few days even if you don't use it. Had to buy an extra charger for the office. Device is never ready when I need it.

Device is large and troublesome to carry around. Grip is a little slippery. Newer models have integrated CF or SM slots. Wish I had spent the extra money for that.

Otherwise it's nice. Bright display.
