Product Description

The DVD-RW recorder is a digital DVD-RW recorder with progressive video output and an i.Link digital input for digital transfer of digital camcorder video to a DVD. Editing functions are included, and thumbnail images lead to easy navigation to chapters. VCR Plus is also added for ease of recording your favorite programs. i.Link Digital Input enables video and audio streaming without loss of quality. It also allows you to copy DVDs of home video to share or edit. Editing Function will erase sections of recorded scenes easily in addition to renaming the displayed titles. The thumbnail image for chapter selection can be changed to any image you choose, and chapter marks can be added for quick scene selection. Universal Remote controls all functions of the DVD-RW recorder and will also control another manufacturer's TV- power, volume, channel selection. Analog Input allows you to connect other video sources for recording. There are 3 S-video /composite video inputs. Progressive Output delivers color clarity and dynamic picture quality. EZ Setup / Auto Clock detects all air and cable channels and also sets the clock by your local PBS station. Digital Gamma Picture will increase the dark areas of a video without over-riding the lights areas. As a result, more detailed information is displayed in a bright environment. Tamper Proof allows you to lock the recorder functions even with the power off so children or others cannot change or use the recorder timer functions.

Amazon.com Product Description

Early Adopters Pick: April 2003 Sharp's DV-RW2U is the world's first DVD recorder to incorporate a DV terminal with iLink for direct digital video transfer to a DVD disc, allowing you make simple, one-touch video recordings onto durable, rewriteable DVDs for collecting, sharing, time-shifted viewing, and video archiving.

The DV-RW2U is an integrated DVD recorder and player that lets you make simple, one-touch video recordings onto durable, rewriteable DVDs for collecting, sharing, time-shifted viewing, and video archiving. The DV-RW2U records up to 4.7 gigabytes (GB) of data at a spell, making it ideal for preserving and archiving digital photographs, home videos, and presentations with high picture and sound quality.

Unlike VHS tapes, the DV-RW2U offers a main menu for easy searching and chapter replay. DVD-RWs can be re-recorded up to 1,000 times. You can also record on standard DVD-R and play back formats like CD-RW, CD-R, and standard CDs. The DV-RW2U's enhanced disc-navigation system with thumbnail display provides instant scene choice from a disc's table of contents. It's possible to record up to eight programs with the touch of a button using timer recording. The "Just Recording" feature checks the disc capacity each time you insert a DVD-RW, and not only does it determine how much additional space is left, but it will never record over a disc without first alerting you. The DV-RW2U records up to two hours of video in standard mode (SP) and up to six hours in manual mode (MN). When recording, the DV-RW2U provides helpful features like title option, which makes it easy to edit and rename different segments as they're being recorded.

In the audio department, this unit--like other DVD recorders--compresses all incoming audio signals with Dolby Digital 2.0, which conserves space but slightly compromises audio quality. A set of left/right analog-audio outputs benefit from 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters, channeling DVD and CD sound to audio/video receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. Additional features include a DV terminal with iLink for direct digital video transfer from digital camcorders, four-step fast forward/reverse, and slow four-step forward and two-step reverse.

Customer Reviews:

Worked Great for over a Year..........2006-12-14

I've had this machine for well over a year and have had no problems with it until now. In fact, I was quite pleased with it (considering it was so inexpensive). It had some limitations (takes a bit of a while to load discs compared to some other machines, making it take a longer to be able to record a program), but these are probably due to it being an older generation machine anyway. The machine had been working very solidly, no real complaints.

But now it will not longer read ANY discs at all. It will not read blank, previously recorded, or even commercial discs.

Why can't I give no stars?.......2005-12-02

I have been an electronic nut for years and my mom and dad wanted to purchase me a reliable DVD recorder. I got this one. I am now so afraid of DVD recorders that I won't buy another one. This one worked for exactly 10 recordings. Now nothing. Zilch. Zero. I can't even play the discs that it recorded on it. I can still play commercially produced DVDs and the Dolby Digital is awesome on my surround sound system (Harmon Kardon receiver and Klipsch speakers), but I can't do anything else. I took this to the repair shop three times and they claim that nothing is wrong. I call Sharp and they tell me to try slower recordable speed discs. I even tried to change disc brands, nothing works. I really want a DVD recorder, but if this is how all of them act, then I will stick with VHS for the moment.

the WORST.......2004-10-28

I have 4 DVD recorders.I have 3 Panasonics (great machines) & wanted a 4th but because of the IR remote I was limited to 3.So I needed another brand and SHARP had a good price (it seemed, incorrectly)so I got the SHARP.It is an amazing BAD machine.It doesn't work correctly and getting it fixed is a nightmare. I just sent it back for the second time,it returned today and they fixed NOTHING.It is a true Nightmare,STAY AWAY!!!

Home video makers dream.......2003-10-03

Makes perfect DVD copies of home movies recorded on VHS or
8mm. Includes a firewire port for making perfect copies of
mini DV camcorders. I only record in the Fine mode yielding
about 1 hr per 4.7 GB DVD-R. Also records to DVD-RW if you
want to reuse the disc over and over. DVD-R seems to be the most backward-compatible format if you wish to share those home movies with friends. Manual is very informative, but these
machines are fairly complicated compared to VCRs. Excellent
value!

Gravis' acclaimed Blackhawk joystick just got better. Using 100 percent digital technology, the new Blackhawk boasts greater accuracy than before and simple auto-calibration.The Blackhawk's advanced design features four fire buttons plus a trigger, smooth action throttle and an ergonomic grip. It is IBM compatible and operates with any PC game that supports a joystick; it even has a built-in 2-player connector for head-to-head combat. The Blackhawk has a molded pistol grip and heavy base for stability, which reduces fatigue, letting you play longer, faster and harder. The quick response fire buttons are all easily accessible for maximum fire power and positioned for maximum control. The smooth action rotary throttle adds realistic flight control feel. With its low price tag and ergonomic design, the Blackhawk is ideal for any computer gamer looking for the comfort and ease of a joystick.

Amazon.com Review

The digital version of Gravis's popular Blackhawk joystick is an excellent all-around peripheral at a decent price. With a variety of preprogrammed key sets as well as the easy-to-use Gravis Xperience software for personalizing the stick with your favorite games, it's a solid combat and racing joystick.

The Blackhawk Digital contains five action buttons as well as an eight-way POV hat switch for superb twitch control and a rotary throttle controlled by your left hand. It also features a pass-through game port, allowing you to connect more than one device for head-to-head gaming. The digital technology allows for greater accuracy and easier calibration during setup.

The heavy, round base provides adequate support, and the molded plastic handgrip is comfortable. Even with a thick base, the entire unit is rather compact and won't take up much desk space. We especially liked the feel during flight sims, where we could almost fly one-handed, with the solid base and the nice stick spring-back adding support.

To install the Blackhawk digital joystick, you need to shut down your machine and attach the Blackhawk to your sound card's game port. From here, the Gravis Cyber Chic (a purple-maned digital babe) walks you through the steps for installation. (Gravis knows their audience!)

In addition to containing the drivers for the Blackhawk, the enclosed CD-ROM includes Gravis Xperience software, which lets users create their own personalized key sets for games. Gravis provides a couple dozen preprogrammed key sets for games such as Sega Rally, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000, and Air Warrior II, and it's simple to import these as well as create new ones.

You can spend a lot more for a joystick if you're looking for extras like force feedback and more buttons. But for the price, you could do worse in a dogfight than the Blackhawk digital. --J. Curtis

Pros:

Xperience software lets you program key sets
Nicely priced

Cons:

Setup takes some time
Basic controls

Customer Reviews:

Great joystick for the money.......2007-01-18

There may be better joysticks, but they cost much more than the Gravis. This stick does the job just fine and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

The little joystick that could.......2002-03-19

It doesn't have all the features of those big sticks you see out there, but it has everything you need for most games: four action buttons, a hat, and a throttle wheel. Plus it takes up less space on your desktop and it's easy to use regardless of the size of your hands. The only thing is that it's light so you have to hold it with both hands.

Best Joystick I Ever Bought........2001-11-17

I have gone through a number of joysticks over the years and this is the best for the money. It is very durable. The buttons are easy to use and can be configured in most games. I really like the fact that I have had this product for 3 years without breaking it or having "drifting" or alingment problems. My only problem is I could not get this to work on Windows 2000, but it works great with WIN98!!!!

Most comfortable!.......2001-01-31

The Blackhawk joysticks are the most comfortable sticks in a persons' hand. The right-side of the joystick has a molded piece of plastic that cradles your hand. All the other sticks have some sort of hand support but the Blackhawk has the best. You may want your fancy buttons and triggers but the question you must ask is "Do I want fancy buttons and hand cramping or do i want a joystick that feels like it's made for my hand?" Go Gravis Blackhawk!!!

Murder to install on windows ME.......2001-01-01

Tried to install this joystick on my Dell 1gig computer and with all instructions from Gravis, Dell and Microsoft web sites the joystick would not install with windows ME, even with the Gravis patch. Tried again on a new HP computer, it would not install.
