Product Description

The Rio 800 Digital Audio Player delivers the most advanced level of power and performance you'll ever hear. Capture, mix, and playback digital music from the Internet or your CD collection on Rio's first-ever rechargeable player. Created by people as intense about music as you are. No wonder the Rio products set the standard in portable digital audio players.

Amazon.com Review

The ruckus over MP3s and Napster-focused copyright battles has overshadowed the huge portability advantages of digital music. Only a few years ago, "portable music" meant carrying around a bulky CD player and either a CD wallet or a load of plastic jewel cases. The Rio (now part of SONICblue) line of digital audio players pioneered portable MP3 devices, and the new Rio 800 flagship model has the potential to redefine what portable audio should be.

The Rio 800 comes with 64 MB of memory, enough for about an hour of MP3 music. It can also accommodate Windows Media Audio (WMA) files, which can stretch the playing time out to nearly two hours thanks to that format's high compression. If 64 MB isn't quite enough to store your daily dose of tunes, SONICblue sells proprietary Memory Backpacks (instead of standard memory cards, like SmartMedia or CompactFlash) that can boost your Rio to 96 MB or 128 MB. Unfortunately, prices are still fairly high for these Backpacks; hopefully they'll come down as Rio popularity increases.

Another great feature is the built-in microphone feature that lets you record meetings and notes to yourself, then play them back later. And if your tastes run more to spoken-word recordings, Audible.com media files take up even less memory.

The Rio 800 is powered by a rechargeable battery, which we found to be perfectly acceptable. It averaged around six to eight hours of continuous use per charge and required only a few hours to recharge. A red light let us know when the battery was being recharged, turning off when the battery was ready. The 800's carrying case is also much improved from earlier Rio models--smartly designed, form fitting, and providing easy access to all the controls.

The control buttons are centrally located, and with some practice we were able to operate the Rio's various functions without looking at it. On the unit we tested, we had to be sure to push toward the top of the volume rocker to increase the sound level, rather than where the volume icon was located, but that barely registered as a minor irritation.

Also included in the Rio 800 package is a remote control that clips onto your clothing, which was particularly handy on our afternoon jogs when it would be awkward (or, dare we say, dangerous) to reach for the unit's main controls. Another boon for frequent exercisers is the (misnamed) Hold switch, which locks the controls (but not the remote) in case of accidental bumps. The Rio also comes with a pair of folding headphones that look cool but were uncomfortable to wear for more than about 20 minutes.

The LCD screen is a bit larger than most and has plenty of room for information like the current song title, sample rate, time, track number, and volume. However, to display that much info means using a small font, so at times it was hard to read. And the circular display window put form over function; it looked nice but it was sometimes hard to see objects around the edges due to the shadow projected by the circular frame. We had to tilt the unit nearly every time to see the play indicator to find out if the music was stopped or just paused.

Overall, though, these criticisms are minor quibbles compared to what the Rio 800 offers: a portable repository for all your digital audio needs, from tunes to voice recording, with high-quality playback. --Jeff Carlson

Amazon.com Product Description

Get all the versatility of a 64 MB digital audio player in a sleek design with the Diamond Rio 800. This Rio adds memory and features to the Rio line, plus recharging capability. The Rio 800's 64 MB of flash memory means you can capture and play back over an hour of near-CD quality music (MP3s encoded at 128 Kbps) from the Internet or your CDs, or up to 32 hours of spoken word recordings. Additional snap-on Rio memory backpacks (sold separately) can add up to 340 MB of storage.

This player comes with its own recharger unit so you can save on battery costs. The remote control also allows you to play, pause, advance, and rewind without removing the player from the case. The LCD display shows the song/book you are listening to, plus the artist and time. The Rio 800 supports the MP3 and WMA audio formats, and it is upgradable to support emerging digital standards so your Rio is always up to date. It's SDMI compliant, enabling you to download secure tracks from all the major recording labels.

The USB interface allows you to download songs from your PC or Mac to your Rio faster than with any other interface type. Note that USB connectivity requires a USB port and either a PC running Windows 98 or 2000 or a Macintosh G3/G4 or iMac running System 8.1 or later.

The included Rio Audio Manager software works with Windows 98 to organize your audio tracks by name, artist, and length. It turns your CDs into MP3 or WMA digital formats for playback on your Rio 800. You can also master your mix with custom playlists. For Mac users, SoundJam software is included, which works with your iMac or G3/G4 to organize tracks and turn your CDs into AIFF, WAV, or QuickTime digital formats. It allows for easy drag-and-drop transfer to the Rio 800.

The Rio 800 comes with the recharger, remote control, folding headphones, one AA battery, a USB cable, a carrying case with belt clip, and software on CD-ROM. Rio covers this player with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

2 out of 5 stars Work well when it's "working".......2003-11-03

I owned two of these units. The first one I got had battery problems and even after callibrating it a couple of times the things would play 2 or 3 songs and then die. Back to the store where I exchanged it for another.

The next unit's battery worked but had the common discharge problem if its not used in a week. The volume control on the unit was a little finiky. If you didn't press on the control in the right place the sound just didn't change up or down.

In general I wonder about the quality control Rio has because from reading othe sites and reviews they seem to have issues.

I wrote them about getting the replacement charger, submitted my info and support never got back to me and never replaced the charger. So much for good support.

Pros
-All my MP3s splayed perfectly on the unit.
-Random and Repeat worked fine.
-The weight and size was also acceptable.
-Comes with a belt clip

Cons
-Throw out the headphones, absolutely useless and they hurt the head.

-Software that came with it sucked. Windows media player worked OK but had the occasional crash where the media player would not longer recognize the unit.
-Overall poor quality.
-Crappy support.

I gave the unit 2 starts out of 5 because over the two years I had it working I was sorta happy with it. Then recently this unit just stopped working. It's the battery the playback was messed up and all you could here was sound in MONO or something. So that's it for Rio.

I can't recommend you get one. I'm moving to a mini-disc player and recommend you do the same.

1 out of 5 stars Worked great for 2 months.......2003-10-06

The Rio was easy to load and easy to use. After 2 months the fast forward button no longer worked which severly limited the ease of use. During the third month the play button stopped working turning it to garbage. I have not been able to find a number to talk to a company representative about my problem but have been able to email the company but still have a light weight, stylish and useless Rio.

2 out of 5 stars Rio 800 is a pain in the butt.......2003-09-26

I got this little guy for Christmas 2002 and I was so excited to have one. Well, after figuring out that you had to calibrate the battery, I thought I was good to go. You wouldn't know to calibrate the battery until you read the directions, which I think is horrible considering most (like me) just plug it in to charge w/o the directions. Well, the battery drains itself and I have never been able to keep it running for more than a few hours. I think the look, feel, sound, and even the amount of memory (mine has 128 mb) are great, but what good is any of that if you cannot keep power to it. The night before I wanted to use it I unplugged it after a full charge... by the time I went to workout the next day, the battery in it was dead. DO NOT BUY RIO -- their product stinks! I will never buy another!

1 out of 5 stars Beware - Deplorable Customer Service.......2003-08-16

...Because I enjoy listening to audio books and mp3 music, I purchased a ... Rio 800 128 MB that was under warranty. The unit unfortunately had a defective headphone jack, a problem with a simple solution. Obtain an RMA (return of merchandise authorization) number and send the unit back for repair.

4 out of 5 stars Persistance Pays.......2003-06-10

I'm not a tech type, I bought the Rio 800 about 2 years ago, and found it incredibly difficult to use in conjunction with RealNewtworks. So it sat in a drawer until this week when I bought a new PC with XP. The Windows Media Player is a no brainer for downloading into the Rio - and my Rio is finally in action. I loaded a Rio 600 for a friend using WMP - same good results.

Gripe - the Rio headphones stink. When you opt for a new pair made by a different manufacturer (sony, jvc,etc) you need to keep the plug slightly unplugged to get music on both sides of the headphones, and it's basically mono, not stereo. Fully insert the pin and you get only one side working.

In terms of durability - it's a rugged little unit.
In terms of display - super small text on a wierd green bacground, I admit to having to use a magnifying glass to read it at times.
Battery life - no problems - the rechargeable gives me about 10 hours.
I share the annoyance of one of your previous reviewers that the backpack memory is treated like a seperate statistic, not combined with the basic memory.

So persistance paid off - I refused to buy another MP3 player until I could get this one working - it took Wimdows Media Player XP to do the trick.

        Product Description

        All you need is the smell of freshly popped popcorn to make your home feel like a theater with this powerful subwoofer. It has an incredible 350 watts of power, a 15" driver and digital amplifier technology that won't let you miss one crisp note of your favorite movie soundtracks. Explosions will rock your house to its foundation. And you'll hear every grunt in an onscreen battle. A high-output digital amplifier cuts down on the distortion you typically get with conventional amplifiers. The subwoofer easily blends in with your existing speaker system with its adjustable low-pass and high-pass controls. And the high-polymer laminate cones are stiff, lightweight, and extremely fast to handle ultradeep frequencies. Invite the neighbors over for a movie night - with this speaker, chances are they'll hear what you're watching anyway. It features adjustable low-pass and high-pass controls that allow the subwoofer to seamlessly blend with any speaker system. Direct Input bypasses the internal crossovers are for use with Dolby Digital and D.T.S. receivers/processors that already include the subwoofer crossover.

        Amazon.com Product Description

        With a 15-inch speaker driver and 350 watts of rump-kicking power, the JBL PSW-D115 powered subwoofer promises to deliver tight, clean bass while freeing your amplifier to do a better job with the midrange and high frequencies. The sub's ability to deliver solid bass down to 25 Hz helps transform your stereo system into a powerful home theater system, producing sound waves that you feel as well as hear.

        The JBL PSW-D115's high-output digital amplifier exhibits lower distortion than conventional amplifiers. Adjustable low-pass and high-pass controls allow the subwoofer to seamlessly blend with any speaker system.

        Direct Input bypasses the internal crossovers for use with Dolby Digital and DTS receivers and processors, which already include the subwoofer crossover. Alternately, you can feed the sub from the speaker-level outputs on your amplifier or receiver, passing everything above 180 Hz on to your speakers from the PSW-D115's speaker-level outputs and letting the sub handle the heavy-duty bass work.

        The PSW-D115 measures 20 by 20 by 21.75 inches. The speaker includes a one-year warranty on the speaker amplifier, a two-year parts and labor warranty on the speaker enclosures, and a five-year parts and labor warranty on the driver and internal components.

        4 out of 5 stars impressive.......2002-02-05

        i purchased this unit with hopes of experiencing the true essence of low frequency response.this item delivers it's expected purpose. i bought a 10-inch model three years ago. i was so impressed by this model,i use it with my home theater system . the 10inch model can produce low frequencies more accurately than most 12-15 models of other brands out there.this lead to my curiosity about a larger jbl sub unit .i've owned and used this unit for a year , it never dissapointed me.i hope your neighbors are nice people ,you'll be gettin lots of visits and calls from them, trust me. my only problem with this unit is it's size , it's huge and kind of awkward. placement of this unit is a very easy task, it fills the room with exceptional low end virtually anywhere you place it . without getting all technical,i hope this information is helpful.

        5 out of 5 stars Very Good Subwoofer.......2001-11-11

        (...) This sub is very good. It does an exceptional job handling the ultra-low end, which is what I have it doing (100Hz and lower). This sub is similar to the Audio Source 200 Watt 15" subwoofer but heavier by a bit, a little larger and quite a bit louder. The digital amplifier certaintly does keep a flat frequency response. This sub is definately great for everyday bass used quitely and very good for loud parties (which is partly why I bought it). (...)

        2 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware.......2000-12-01

        This subwoofer sounds pretty good, and it certainly doesn't lack any punch, but...two things to consider before buying this subwoofer. One, it is HUGE- there will be no hiding this thing. Two, I had mine less than 3 months before it broke. it is still under warranty, but this thing is no picnic to load into the car and drive 50 miles to get fixed. I suggest before you buy, check JBL's website to see how close the closest service location is and clear out a BIG open space near your receiver.

        5 out of 5 stars So Far So Good.......2000-11-22

        I just bought this week. I debated with myself for over two years regarding the need for a sub. I currently use 6 JBL 4312's and a couple of LX-55's in my system. I didn't think I could get much better than that. Boy was I wrong. This sub added so much warmth to the music. I have not tried it with any movies yet, but the music so much better. It also reduced the power demands on my power amps for the other speakers since they don't have to attempt to reproduce the low frequencies. Setup of this sub is extremely easy. Had it up an running in about 20 minutes. The hardest part was getting itin the house up the stairs after UPS dropped it off. It is heavy and much bigger than I thought it would be. (81 Pounds Shipping according to UPS)

        If you don't have a large room, I would reccommend the smaller 12" or 10 " sub. This thing is a monster, but the sound is incredible, so far.

        I plan to put it through the paces over Thanksgiving.

        4 out of 5 stars A great Sub!.......2000-09-14

        I have two of these, and would not recomend buying more than one. If you want more bass than this one can put out I sugest you go with a bigger sub.

            3 out of 5 stars Worked great for a while.......2002-01-27

            I bought this camera a couple of years ago and it worked great and took great pictures until recently. First, it started to delay when taking pictures. I had to wait longer and longer, it seemed, each time I tried to take another picture. Then, I was rewinding the film that contained pictures of our son's first Christmas and the film got stuck in the camera. There is no forcing the film compartment door open and I stripped the gears on the door opener when I tried to pry it open. I ended taking it to a professional photo repair shop and spent $15 to have the camera taken apart around the film to save the pictures. I had to buy a new camera because this one is now worthless.

            3 out of 5 stars How???.......2001-05-18

            We just got this camera, but no instruction booklet available. We need help!

            3 out of 5 stars Ben's mom likes it.......2000-09-13

            i just got this camera and have not really been able to use it much, hence only the 3 rating. it could very well be a 5 but the only time i got to use it was in the dark.

            its easy to use, and the timer function is great for those priceless money shots.

            The red eye reduction works great, and the close ups "come" out nicely too, but most importantly Ben's mom likes it a lot.
