Product Description

The DV-SR3U is a progressive-scan DVD recorder with DVD-R/RW record capability in addition to DVD+RW playback. This DVD recorder uses DVD-RW, DVD-R media allowing up to 6 hours on the DVD in extended record mode. This is a new solution for viewing recorded programs, editing recorded programs, and allowing the edited material to be saved on a DVD for future viewing or sharing. Other features include a front S-video jack for transferring video from other devices, and a video mode for playback in standard DVD players.DVD+RW playback allows you to playback DVD+RW type of recorded material. This flexibility provides even more playback functionality from other sources. Progressive video output allows a progressive signal to be output to a compatible monitor. The progressive mode will produce a dynamic image without interlaced artifacts. 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. Chapter marks can be added for quick scene selection as well as dividing and combining chapters. VCR Plus+ function allows you to enter the PlusCode programming number for the show you wish to record. 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 light areas. As a result, a more true and vivid image is displayed in bright environments. Tamper Proof function allows you to lock the recorder functions even with the power off so children or others cannot change or use the timer recorder functions. Universal remote controls all functions of the DVD-RW recorder and will also control another manufacturer's TV- power, volume, channel selection. Analog inputs allow you to connect other video sources for recording. There are 3 S-video/composite video inputs.

Amazon.com Product Description

You thought the day would never come, but it's here: you can now use recordable DVDs the way you used to use VHS videocassettes. Sharp's cutting-edge DV-SR3US is a full-function DVD recorder and DVD player, offering DVD-RW/DVD-R editing and recording alongside progressive-scan video performance for state-of-the-art home-theater viewing.

Other features include CD/MP3 playback, DVD+R/+RW playback, simultaneous recording/playback, and simple, convenient advanced programming options (including 1-year, 32-event scheduling) using VCR Plus+. Rewriteable DVD-RW media can be recorded on more than 1,000 times, delivering about six hours of programming in EP mode. The recorder's editing function will erase sections of recorded scenes easily. Select any image you like to represent a scene's thumbnail image for chapter selection. On rewritable discs, you can add chapter marks, divide existing chapters, and combine chapters when desired, too.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DV-SR3US 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. The DV-SR3US sports one set of progressive-scan component-video outputs and 2 each composite- and S-video outs for use with SD (standard-definition) TVs as well as with VCRs or DVRs.

The DV-SR3US simplifies the process of searching for a specific moment on a disc through its high-speed-access thumbnail views and Quick Search functions. A video enhancement called Digital Gamma Picture will heighten the contrast of the transferred video to give it a more true and vivid image when displayed in bright environments.

Inputs consist of 3 each composite- and S-video, with 3 total sets of stereo analog (left/right) RCA audio inputs. Two sets of left/right RCA analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

A tamper-proof feature lets you lock the recorder functions even with the power off, so children or others cannot change or use the timer-record functions. The unit's EZ Setup/auto clock feature detects all air and cable channels from the outset and also sets the clock by your local PBS station.

Shop around before you buy.......2005-12-19

We have had our Sharp DVD player/recorder for a year and we are now having problems with it. First of all, the "open/close" takes about one minute before opening. Secondly, I have had many brand new, out of the box DVDs to lock up on the screen in the middle of a movie and then I have to literally unplug the DVD player, then plug it back to eject the DVD, which takes exactly one minute to do. It is more trouble than it is worth. Don't waste your money on this particular brand....shop around and ask around before purchasing.

Recording problems, werid design.......2005-04-20

From day one I have the same problem with this dvd recorder
It will not record to dvd-rw discs;I tried 5 different brands with no luck; I took the recorder to an authorized repair center and they couldn't fix it; they need the codes or firmware to reflash the unit but Sharp never gave the codes to the shop

Sharp does not answer my emails, and I had been sending them for weeks; stay away, there is no support
And yes, the remote is a joke; who could imagine the on screen display to be hidden under other buttons? the part flip open remote is not easy to use and if you try to fast forward or rewind a dvd, it does as in little image jumps, not continuisly

Very good quality, but a few small problems.......2004-11-19

The recording quality of this recorder is excellent in SP or FINE mode, and pretty good in LP mode, but I found the EP mode could be better. Variable bit rate recording allows you to record up to an extra eight minutes in FINE mode.

There is a defect in this recorder that will not allow you to set a recording timer for channels 54-60. Sharp wanted me to send mine in so they could fix the problem, but it wasn't that big of a deal to me, so I kept mine as-is.

This recorder will absolutely not record anything copyrighted, so those of you looking to copy your store-bought DVDs will be disappointed.

Operation of this machine is very quiet, I know some of the others can be quite loud. The remote control is very comprehensive, including about every function I could think of and more. There is a slight delay between pressing a button on the remote and the recorder performing the desired function. This is almost unnoticeable unless you are trying to fast-forward to or pause at an exact point.

Overall, I would recommend this product. It has more outputs and as many analog inputs as any other recorder (although the lack of DV input may turn some people away), and excellent recording quality in FINE and SP make this recorder stand out. A fairly easy-to-use GUI doesn't hurt either. Just don't expect it to duplicate Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings, or timer record channels 54-60.

First Dvd Recorder.......2004-11-15

This is the first dvd recorder I've owned. I basicly wanted to burn my old vcr tapes and record from the TV. The Sharp DV-SR3U records dvd-r,dvd-rw discs. Rewritable discs can be recorded in video and VR mode.DVD-RW recorded in the VR mode can be edited after recording,but will only playback on this machine. The dvd-r, dvd-rw(video mode) seem to play in most standard players. The operation manual is 100 pages, well written, but somewhat complicated for a non-tech person. I don't like the flip open remote, but most often used keys are on top. Easy to set up timer recording from TV. Overall this is an excellent recorder and fulfills my needs!

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!!!

Product Description

Audiovox became a pioneer in the wireless industry, selling its first vehicle-installed wireless telephones in 1984 as a natural expansion of its automotive aftermarket business. Its extensive distribution network and its long-standing industry relationships have allowed Audiovox to benefit from growing market opportunities in the wireless industry and to exploit niches in the consumer electronics business.

Amazon.com Product Description

The cornerstone to an affordable home theater speaker system, Jensen's Champion Series 2-way C210 center-channel speaker uses a pair of 4-inch midrange drivers to deliver voices and other center-channel sound as clearly and naturally as possible. Designed to match other Champion Series speakers in both look and sonic character, the C210 can also fill out your existing stereo speaker system if you're taking a first step toward home-theater surround sound by adding a center to your existing left/right set rather than building a system from scratch.

The C210 is fully video shielded for use in audio/video applications. This lets you place the speaker on or near your television or computer monitor with no adverse effects on picture quality from the speaker's magnets.

The speaker uses a 13 mm soft-dome tweeter for sweet high frequencies. It's not the most efficient speaker on the planet, but it'll do fine with as little as 15 watts while handling amplifiers as powerful as 65 watts per channel. Durable binding-post speaker terminals offer strong connections with your speaker cable for high-efficiency signal transfer from cable to speaker.

What's in the Box
One center speaker, 1 speaker grille, and a user's manual.

I just watched the new WAR OF THE WORLDS movie and WOW. This center chanel speaker looks good and has impressive sound. Best of all the price is GREAT too.

Jensen Center Channel Speaker.......2005-08-13

A great speaker at a GREAT price! Sounds and looks fantastic. Couldn't be happier. Delivered in a very timely manner too.

Nice looking but oh the sound - edited review.......2005-08-02

I thought this was a decent speaker at first but noticed I was straining to hear surround sound dialog. When I finally replaced it with a Sony I found out what I'd been missing. I can no longer recommend this speaker!! Spend another $30 or so and get something better. 2 stars at best.

good sound and a good price.......2005-07-25

Replaced a smaller center speaker with this Jensen, much better sound than before, and for 30 bucks it's a great buy.

Real nice center........2005-04-03

Can't beat the price for this. If you need a center for your surround system then get this, it will do the job. Sounds nice and not boxey sounding. Big but not too big and not tiny like some other centers. Nice and heavy with gold posts on back for your speaker wire (pretty rare find at this price). Just got the c220s for my rear (which also sound real nice also at a great price) and the c990s for my front (haven't got the c990s yet, being shipped). Jensen makes some nice sounding speakers at a great price. Amazon is real quick with their shipping also (got it in two days with super saver shipping which was free) can't beat that.
Buy this, you won't be dissapointed, looks nice also.

Da-Lite Infrared Frequency Remote Control for Horizon Electrol 110 Volt

Product Features:

Tensioned Horizon with High Contrast Cinema Perf fabric and 110 volt motor.

Optimum Viewing of Multiple Video Image Formats. Excellent for video projection applications. Screen is tensioned for an extra flat surface for optimum image quality. The Horizon Electrol is the first screen available allowing four position masking with the touch of a button.

Tab guide cable system maintains even lateral tension to hold surface flat while a custom slat bar with added weight maintains vertical tension. Careful engineering ensures that masking remains flush against the surface of the screen, preventing distracting shadows around the projected image compliments of unique "step-back" masking. Equipped with a six-button wall switch, you can automatically open and close the screen, halt operation and position the screen into any of the four aspect ratios.

High Contrast Cinema Perf has the same optical characteristics as High Contrast Cinema Vision, and is perforated to allow placement of a center channel speaker behind the screen surface while allowing the sound to transmit through the material. Ideal for use in environments with moderate control of ambient light. Gain 1.1 with a 45-degree viewing half angle.

ASIN: B000293IL2

Product Description

The average American spends four hours a day watching television. Why stare at a box on a shelf when you could bask in the glow of a multiple aspect ratio projection screen. Meet the Horizon Electrol available in both tensioned and non-tensioned versions for a viewing experience second to none. The Horizon was engineered with the serious home theater enthusiast in mind - a home theater that alternates between a standard video broadcast followed by a movie in Cinemascope format and everything in between. Enjoy your DVD in the format the directors filmed them in, video, HDTV, Letterbox or Cinemascope. Ceiling recessed with patented motor-in-the roller technology, optional low voltage control to connect to third party control as well as an optional network ready capability and masking that "steps back" to prevent shadowing make this the screen unbeatable. When you're finished, hit the button and the screen is out of the way and safely in the case. Before you spend the money on a flat screen, keep this in mind - our smallest screen dwarfs the largest flat screen, and our projection surfaces make flat panel televisions look downright chunky.
