Tivoli Audio has made waves in the audio field with the retro look of models such as the Model One Henry Kloss Table Radio and the iPod-inspired iPAL Portable Audio Laboratory AM/FM Radio. The SongBook AM/FM Radio breaks that mold slightly, opting for a simple, yet fun, look and feel. And like all Tivoli Audio products, the SongBook deserves accolades for the surprisingly rich sound it is able to produce despite its compact size.
The Tivoli Design
The first thing that called our attention was the SongBook's brilliant color and unique texture. This is a radio clearly designed to make you feel happy by just looking at it and holding it. With the options of several, bright elementary colors (Black, Blue, Red, Silver, White, Green, Yellow) that make you want to reach for your crayons, the SongBook truly makes a statement. It's a radio that you'll definitely want to take to the beach, and it's a radio that makes you long for summer days all year around.
But Tivoli Audio knows that good design involves far more than color. The radio is coated with a unique, rubberized texture, and the dials and displays are all sealed so that a sudden rain shower or a little sand won't interfere with performance. We're not suggesting that you surf the waves with your SongBook, or bury it in the walls of your sand castle, but a little of Mother Nature here and there won't bother this baby.
Weighing in at three-and-a-half pounds, and with dimensions slightly smaller than that of a hardcover book, the SongBook is designed with portability in mind. The minimalist front-face design -- a round, metal mesh covering the (surprisingly robust) 2.5-inch driver, and several rubberized button and knobs are the only elements in view -- harkens back to early portable radio designs. Five presets, two tuning buttons, a rotary volume control, a function knob (OFF/AM/FM/AUX), and buttons for the alarm, sleep, time set, and back light functions are all clearly and conveniently laid out. The radio's LCD (with an on-demand blue back light) sits directly above the speaker. Meanwhile, three standard 3.5-millimeter inputs are set on the radio's side -- an auxiliary line-in port for plugging in your iPod or other music device, a port for AC/DC power, and a headphone input. All the ports feature strong, attached rubber plugs that keep out the elements when they're not in use. A rear keyhole cut-out for wall hanging is set into the back, and a single telescopic metal antenna is set into its own groove on top of the radio.
Because the SongBook is designed for the elements, the battery compartment is tightly sealed and requires a coin or screwdriver to open. Once opened, you can easily access the two switches (alkaline/rechargeable and 9k/10k) that offer options for the battery source. You can also choose U.S. or international AM reception here. The only design element missing is a handle, but Tivoli offers an optional, color coordinated SongBook Carry Bag to make up for that.
Giving it a Listen
As with other Tivoli products we've reviewed, the sound of the SongBook is remarkably strong for such a small unit. Granted, you don't get stereo sound, but competing designs that offer stereo speakers in a small package don't offer that much stereo separation anyway. Reception came in loud and clear on all the area AM and FM stations, with both AC and DC power. The only glitch, which we were able to repeat in two separate locations, was occasional outside interference that broke up broadcasts with a brief screech. All in all, though, we were happy with the sound of every genre of music we listened to, as well as talk radio. The auxiliary input was great, too, for listening to MP3s from a portable music source.
In addition to good sound quality, we found the presets, time set, alarm, and tuning/search functions impeccable. Everything was so intuitive that we barely needed to consult the manual. Another bonus we liked: The SongBook comes with a handy internal recharger, so you have the option of using rechargeable batteries without the inconvenience of having to carry around a separate recharger.
Tivoli clearly decided early on not to reinvent the wheel with respect to portable radios. Instead, they put their energies into making an easy-to-use, rugged, yet playful, radio. Audiophiles, beach-goers, and general radio listeners of the world should unite in praise.

Product Description
Tivoli Audio does it again. The famous premium sound quality pioneered by Henry Kloss and Tom DeVesto now comes to the most compact Tivoli Audio radio ever. The SongBook is a new travel radio with built in alarm clock that is engineered to offer exceptional sound in the company's first-ever digital portable radio.
"The SongBook is one amazing portable clock radio," marvels columnist Gary Krakow at MSNBC.com's Tech News and Reviews for January 17, 2005. "As a matter of fact, it's an amazing radio period. I've even plugged it into my home hi-fi system and used it as an FM tuner. It sounds that good."
The SongBook incorporates a highly sensitive digital AM / FM tuner for clear and precise reception, as well as an adjustable, telescoping FM antenna and built-in AM antenna. You can tune stations manually or via five favorite station preset buttons. And for travelers who may not know what local stations are available, the SongBook also features a "seek" function to automatically search for signals in any country in the world.
The SongBook features an "on demand" blue backlit LCD display that shows the station tuning as well as the digital clock, whose functions include an alarm and 20-minute sleep timer. Auxiliary input and stereo headphone output are positioned on the side, complete with rubber covers to protect them from dust and dirt when not in use.
The one thing that isn't new about the SongBook is its sound quality. This portable boasts the same rich, full sonics that critics and consumers love in Tivoli's other audio products. The combination of advanced electronics, a wealth of features, and superb sound from a compact design makes the Songbook the ultimate travel radio. You'll want to make it your constant companion for trips around the hous

JVC GRDX75 Pocket Camcorder with 2.5 LCD
Manufacturer: JVC ProductGroup: Photography Binding: Electronics Accessories:
Product Features:
ASIN: B00008I8MV |
Product Description
Sometimes you have to test the limits. See just how far you can go. Feel what it's like to go a step beyond in a new mobile compact low-profile design. The GR-DX75 makes it easy to get a grip on quality and creativity. The 680K pixel CCD for Superior Video (520 Lines of resolution) and Still Pictures (1024x768), 111k-pixel 2.5" LCD, 700x digital zoom with Spline Interpolation, Power-Linked operation so you're ready to shoot, a powerful software package and much more. The GR-DX75 will allow you to explore the imagination.Amazon.com Product Description
The GRDX75 features a high-performance 1/6" 680,000 Pixel CCD to capture high-quality video and digital photos. It's also fitted with a 16X optical zoom and a 700X digital zoom with spline interpolation. Digital zoom is a powerful tool, but it can lead to "jaggies"--zigzag contours that reduce picture quality. JVC has adopted spline interpolation to mathematically smooth such contours, making them look more natural. And since frame signals, not field signals, are processed, vertical resolution is increased, also improving quality.
Digital Stills and MPEG Video
In addition to high-quality video, the GRDX75 also captures digital still photos that are stored on either SD or MMC cards (slot included, cards sold separately). You can also record small video clips for distribution to friends and family over e-mail or the Internet using the MPEG-1 format feature. Video clips can be recorded from the real-time camera image or recorded video footage and stored on a the memory card.
Inputs and Outputs
The GRDX75 comes with an analog input with pass through, an analog to digital converter and an i.Link Digital Input/Output (IEEE 1394 compliant, also referred to as FireWire), which provides a lossless connection to a PC or other DV machines. Additionally, the GRDX75 includes a standard A/V cable to view video footage on your TV and a USB cable for transferring digital stills to your PC.
MiniDV Format
MiniDV is the preferred format for personal and broadcast-quality video, highly regarded for its high audio and image quality. With up to 540 lines of horizontal resolution and minimum color noise, MiniDV delivers a 20-percent clearer picture than analog camcorder formats. This is all delivered on a cassette that's 1/12th the size of a standard VHS tape. A MiniDV tape offers digital recording time of 2 full hours--20 times the capacity of a CD.
What's included
Camcorder, shoulder strap, editing cable, USB compatible cable, ImageMixer softwarefor editing video and stills, managing files on hard disk and create a Video CD that plays on most DVD players.
