hands down the best $150 tuner EVER...........2007-04-27

I recently had to have a minor repair on my NAD 4155ST which I bought for about $400 at least 15 years ago. Figuring it would give up the ghost sooner or later I went looking for a replacement....what a shock....tuners are few and far between now, so when I spotted the TEAC at less than $200 I figured at the very least it would serve as a stopgap until I could find something more appropriate. I've stopped looking. This unit is the functional equivalent of my NAD, has great reception, and appears to be built like a tank. I'm actually shocked about some of the "audiophile" features included without fanfare (gold plated RCA jacks for example) along with extensive programing and preset options THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO. The tuner has a clock and built in timer system and can store 30 AM and 30 FM stations to memory if you want to get real geeky about it. It also incudes a functional remote. An excellent tuner...highly recommended.

What a first class tuner..first class company.......2006-11-22

First about TEAC...the company. Can you belive that there are actual people at TEAC who....hold your breath...actually pick up the phone and talk to customers? What a concept! Seriously, my first experience with TEAC was great. I had a tech question about the r670 tuner before buying it and was able to reach "Jimmy" from their consumer audio group who was very helpful and knew exactly what I was talking about with respect to my specific tech question (re: RDS function on this tuner). It's rare these days to deal with a company who doesnt seemingly outsource customer service straight away. Such a pleasure to deal with!

Now for the tuner itself. While I am new to component tuners, I still
appreciate good gear being an Adcom system owner for years. Sure, it's not super hi-fi, but it's still worlds above the basic junk out there. Only a few consumer level companies make higher level components these days (Pioneer Elite, Onkyo Integra, etc.) and TEAC seems to be on par with these players. Once again, they're not Krells or Mark Levinson's but still pretty good. First, right out the box, the tuner felt substantial. Solid face plate, simple design, nice buttons etc.,. The packing makes it suspended in the box away from all sides so there's little chance for anything to dent/damage the chassis during shipping. Of course, hooking up a tuner is very easy...antenna tuning/placement aside. I got it up and running and while I was skeptical that "a tuner is a tuner", this thing was impressive. Sure, radio technology is quite mature but most people are used to car radio, handheld radio or radios integrated into their receivers. What a difference a dedicated component makes. It's not CD/SACD/Vinyl audio quality but what can you expect. For radio, it's darn good.

Also, the manual that comes with it is...hold your breath again...printed on nice glossy, card-stock 8.5 x 11 paper written in perfect english. No flimsy untra-thin copier paper here. The instructions are clear and there are supporting pictures for setting the clock, timers, presets etc.

Unlike the Denon TU1500 that I was considering, this TEAC comes with a remote. The Denon does not come with one...how strange. Also, the Denon looks/feels like a $79, plastic component. While it may be technically superior (just a guess based on price) I wouldnt go near it for what it costs (look it up..it ain't cheap).

The only thing missing from the TEAC r670 (IMHO), is a singal strength meter. That would be a nice addition. Oh, and perhaps to have the technical manual available in PDF on their website. Aside from that, this unit is top class and sits well in a system full of dedicated components (amp, DAC, CD transport etc.)

It's so nice to take a break from CDs and Vinyl and listen to hassle-free music.

Fills a market niche for an affordable, user-friendly tuner.......2005-09-15

Per comments in the other review on this tuner, no, the tuner market hasn't disappeared, it's just fragmemented. The trend towards home theater has really hit the stereo component market, pretty much killing the low and middle end sections of it (the high end audio market is still going strong, with plenty of tuners in the $500+ range available).

That's what makes the Teac TR-670 interesting. A low cost component aimed at the universe of music lovers who (a) don't own $5,000 level systems but (b) have a reasonably decent component stereo system and view it primarly as a music, not theater audio source.

The good news beyond price?

Selectivity (the ability of a tuner to pick up a specific station without other nearby channels crowding into it) is darn good for a "cheap" tuner, and that's given the acid test I gave this in a suburb of New York where the FM band is crammed.

Overload rejection and image rejection were also good, another important consideration for a listener like me who lives close to some stations' transmitters (poorly designed tuners run into problems with these stations, with the latter crowding out all the other nearby signals).

Sensitivity (the ability of a tuner to pick up distant, weaker signals) is also surprisingly good; I was happily surprised to actually capture strong signals from some stations in Stamford, CT (a good 100 miles away) that I'd previously never heard!

Like the previous reviewer, I also appreciated all the programming and utility features of this tuner, which are numerous.

First, the tuner allows the use to pre-set 60 stations (30 in both the AM and FM bands), and is also capable of doing auto pre-set tuning, where the tuner scans either the entire AM or FM band, automatically adding the strongest 30 stations on each to the pre-set memory.

It also comes with a remote, which really changes the nature of listening (think about how the addition of the TV remote changed the way we all watch TV, and you'll understand what I mean). Both the tuner itself and the remote allow you to tune a number of ways, including "direct access" (where you punch in the numbers for the station you want, ergo "103.9"), or scanning through the pre-sets, or general scanning. And for those who want to literally curl up on the sofa and fall asleep (or wake up) to the sound of music, the built in clock on the tuner even has timer and sleep functions.

Now, anyones' experience with a particular tuner depends, to a large extent, on the reception conditions in their particular area, as well as their antenna setup (I use an outdoor, three-element FM rooftop antenna, the signals it captures are sent to the tuner through a 75 ohm coaxial cable. Yeah, putting it up was somewhat involved, but for those who really want the best possible signal for an FM radio, this is the way to go).

Or stated another way, the best audio equipment on earth isn't going to get you good FM stereo if you live in the middle of nowhere, hundreds of miles from strong signals (those in that sort of situation really need to look into satellite radio). But for those in urban/suburban and even ex-urban areas, who have component systems and are looking to add or update a tuner, this is a small investment in happiness - for the fun involved in hearing all the new or forgotten music that's still on the airwaves.

One other note: the TEAC cassette deck I purchased back in 1984 is still going strong (yep, I pull out old tapes now and then, the cassette format isn't dead yet), so I have the sense this company builds equipment that stands up. Not that wear and tear is an issue here; outside a few switches, a tuner like this has no moving parts (the things that inevitably wear out), but still, my prior positive experience with TEAC is a significant part of the reason I purchased this tuner.

Good tuner, decent price.......2004-11-29

My old tuner recently gave up the ghost, so I got the Teac R670. Can't argue with the price, and it works pretty well. AM and FM reception are both pretty decent, although FM is not nearly as good as my Tivoli Model Two radio. AM is much better than the Tivoli.

All the modern conveniences are here - digital tuning, auto presets, etc. These all function, although the "seek" tuning is kind of irritating. I'd be fine with a good, old-fashioned knob. Hooking it up is simple as could be - one line output, and some antenna connectors. It comes with an AM loop antenna and a typical 300-ohm "T" antenna and a convertor to 75-ohm coax. This seems to me more than adequate if it's in a good spot.

Near as I can tell, the tuner sounds fine. There's really not much chance that the limitiation in the system is the equipment - FM radio transmission is a weak point, and as long as you can accurately tune the station, it's probably going to sound the same no matter what tuner you get. For AM, of course, there's nothing to say, fidelity-wise. There's a reason they only play oldies and conservative talk.

The unit looks very nice with blackened brushed aluminum faceplate, and an electroluminescent display.

The one thing that really surprised me was the *size*. This thing, while standard width, is HUGE. It's a good 3" high. Given that more features get stuffed into car radios, I simply can't fathom the need for the super-giant box. My dad's Heathkit was smaller, and at least they had an excuse - because 12ax7 tubes were 2" tall! I fit it in my rack OK, but I was taken aback by the size, as the tuner it replaced was about 1" high.

i guess the idea of a separate component tuner has become a little passe' (when I went to Circuit City they had NO IDEA what I was talking about "no, not a receiver, a TUNER. And yes, I know you can get a tuner AND amplifier in the same box"), but that's what I needed, and it works. For $117 it's pretty hard to argue with.

Product Description

The GR-DVF10 camcorder is just what you need! One of the model's standout features is its 16x optical zoom - that's a record in the DV camcorder world! Other nice pluses are the 2.5-inch swiveling LCD and built-in speaker, both of which allow convenient playback in the field. The GR-DVF10 also has a built-in light with an auto-on function for shooting in dim conditions. The GR-DVF10's serial-snapshot mode emulates the motor drive found on professional 35mm cameras, enabling you to take multiple shots in rapid succession. If you're using a VCR to copy your raw footage into some sort of order, the remote control included with the GR-DVF10 gives you access to some automatic editing functions to help streamline the process.

Customer Reviews:

great camcorder but insufficient information comes with it........2002-03-24

I've had my jvc model grdvf10 camcorder for over two years and have used it a lot and like it a lot. I do have a complaint though. Recently I decided to figure out how to hook it up to my computer which the salesman assured me I can do and which the instruction book indicates is doable. Well they're both right but neither of them told me it takes an accessory costing [more money] to make the hookup. That the salesman didn't tell me this and that the instruction booklet doesn't indicate it is avery misleading and I am not at all happy about it.

No 1394/Firewire Capability.......2000-07-11

Older model came out just prior to 1394 standard. Lots of features, many of dubious value. RCA-style jacks are the only way to get video (analog only) to your computer for editing, limiting its usefulness as a digital camera. Included accessories are just gizmos that don't help the editing process. If you need digital AND want to edit with your computer, buy a camera that has 1394 capability. Otherwise, spend your money on Hi8 with more available features.

A average, normal cameracord.......2000-06-13

The JVC GR-DVF10 lets you take still photographs in a number of formats, from simple snapshots to borders and even multiple thumbnails. If you want to download and edit your digital still images and video on a computer, however, you have to purchase a separate video capture card first.

Good.......2000-06-12

Overall the camcorder was easy to learn to use. The quality of the tape was good. The biggest problem was (and still is)in tranfering the still pictures into computer and printing them, because the necessary accessories were not available in stores. The company was not very heplful when contacted. I wish the accessories would be included with the product.

Great price for a digital camera.......2000-06-11

I have bee looking for a camera like this at this price for a while now. I must say I have really enjoyed it. It produces sharp pictures with ease. I would recomend this camera to anyone looking for a good digital camera. A great camera and low price you cannot go wrong.

Product Description

Putting together a home theater system? The VR-806-S makes a great centerpiece. Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES play the 6.1-channel surround soundtracks from the latest DVDs, while Dolby Pro Logic IIx creates up to 7.1-channel surround sound from conventional 2-channel music sources like CDs, tapes and even FM radio. Active EQ tailors the receiver's response to bring the best sound out of whatever type of speakers you have (full-range, satellites, etc.) and the type of program you're listening to (Movies, Music, or TV), and there are 5 audio DSP modes (Arena/Theater/Jazz Club/Stadium/Disco) that bring your music to life. With 100 watts into each of six channels (left/center/right/left surround/right surround/back surround), the VR-806-S is ready to power your home theater speaker system. Coaxial and optical digital inputs provide high-quality connections for DVD players, satellite tuners and other digital sources, and six analog inputs let you connect tape decks and other components. The included Kenwood System Remote controls the receiver and other Kenwood components.

Amazon.com Product Description

An ideal centerpiece for your home theater system, Kenwood's affordable VR-806S supports nearly all the major surround formats while delivering 100 watts of power to your left and right front, left and right rear, center, and back surround speakers. Internally, the receiver is equipped with a 24-bit Cirrus Logic DSP processor and a 24-bit/96 kHz audio digital-to-analog converter that combine to ensure rich, dynamic sound whether you're watching the latest Hollywood blockbuster or listening to your favorite tunes. The audio experience is enhanced by the five DSP modes--arena, theater, jazz club, stadium, and disco--that simulate the acoustics of the most common live venues.

As with the best surround receivers, the VR-806S offers decoding for a variety of surround formats, including Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx. The first two play 6.1-channel soundtracks from the latest DVDs, while Pro Logic IIx converts two-channel audio sources such as CDs and VHS tapes into full multichannel splendor to create a surround-like effect. The receiver also boasts an active equalizer function that adapts to the type of speakers you own (full-range, satellite, etc.) and the type of program you're listening to (movies, music, or TV). The resulting audio can meet all types of expectations, whether you like your audio tight and crisp or full of booming echoes.

Additional audio functions include full digital bass management (sends the deep bass only to the speakers equipped to handle it); automatic signal detection for both analog and digital sources (instinctively switches between CD player, DVD player, or satellite receiver depending on which unit is playing); individual bass and treble controls; and a Midnight Theater mode, which softens loud passages of movies so that people in other rooms won't be disturbed. And, of course, the receiver includes a quartz PLL-synthesized AM/FM tuner with 40 station presets.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the VR-806S offers two component video inputs for such items as HD-compatible TVs and DVD players and three composite video inputs for VCRs, video game systems, and other products. It also comes with one component and one composite video output, along with a composite recording output. The receiver is also stacked from an audio perspective, with two coaxial and one optical digital audio inputs, six stereo analog RCA inputs, subwoofer and left/right back surround preouts, and a headphone jack for private listening. The VR-806S comes with a comprehensive remote control and is covered by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.
