Toshiba SD-V593 Progressive Scan DVD/VCR Combo with HDMI

Amazon.com Product Description

Get maximum enjoyment out of both your VHS and DVD movie libraries with the progressive scan Toshiba SD-V593 DVD/VCR Combo. The multi-format DVD player is compatible with a wide range of disc formats, including DVD movie, CD audio, DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW, VCD, and SVCD. Additionally, it will also play MP3 and WMA digital audio files burned to disc and display JPEG photo slideshows. You'll be able to view JPEG images directly from your digital camera's memory card, via the 7-in-2 media card slot, which is compatible with Secure Digital (SD), Mini SD, MultiMedia (MMC), Memory Stick (Standard, Pro, Duo, Pro Duo), CompactFlash, and XD Picture cards. It also offers an integrated digital AM/FM radio tuner with a total of 50 presets.

The VCR features 19-micron heads that Heads match precisely the width of the SP and EP azimuths and read only the signal recorded on each azimuth (not adjoining tracks). The benefit is significantly enhanced SLP and EP performance so good, it rivals the quality of tapes recorded in the SP Mode. The Auto Clock Set function ensures that your VCR never blinks "12:00" again. A special data stream in your local broadcast source (where available) automatically sets the clock display and keeps it accurate--even when time changes to daylight saving and back. Other VCR features include SP and EP recording speeds, 8 event/1 year programming, and auto channel setup.

The DVD player provides the Digital Cinema progressive scan (3-2 inverse pulldown) function, which provides accurate, smooth film reproduction. Other features include a four fast scan options (2x, 4x, 8x, 20x), multi-camera angle selection, 10-bit/27 MHz video digital/analog converter (DAC), 24-Bit/192kHz audio DAC, parental controls, digital picture zoom, and tri-lingual on-screen menus (English, French, Spanish).

The ColorStream Pro component video output allows the video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component video equipped interlaced or progressive scan TV. When utilized with an HD-compatible set, typical NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity. It also offers an HDMI connection for video up-conversion to high-definition 720p/1080i video formats. The full video and audio jack pack includes:

Composite AV (RCA) In: 2 (1 front)
Composite AV (RCA) Out: 1
S-Video Out: 1
Component Video Out (Y PB PR): 1
HDMI Out: 1
RF In: 1

Tech Talk
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

Product Description

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video connection. HDMI provides the best interface between a DVD player and compatible products, such as a digital television (DTV). HDMI can support uncompressed digital video up to HDTV level resolution. Thus, the player makes use of this conduit by up-converting the standard DVD picture resolution to nearly HDTV-quality with output resolutions of 720p or 1080i. This makes a DVD player with an HDMI connection the perfect match for today's digital televisions. And because this conversion is performed in the player, the signal remains free from excessive digital-to-analog conversion artifacts. These outputs allow the highest quality video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component video equipped progressive scan TV. Typical NTSC artifacts like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity. Provides smoother, clearer picture from discs encoded at 24 frames per second. Especially useful for highly detailed or fast-moving images.

Works in fits and starts.......2007-04-30

We bought this to replace a DVD player and a VCR that were destroyed in a flood. It worked fine for the first 9 months, but since then has gone downhill steadily. While playing a DVD, it will stop as if reading the disk and then jump ahead--and the longer you view the DVD, the more frequent and the longer the interruptions. I'm very disappointed with this and feel it was a waste of money.

Save your money!!.......2007-01-27

This machine only lasted a few months and know the DVD player constantly freezes. I tried cleaning it, but it still constantly freezes to the point that watching the movie is impossible.

A Short, Happy Life.......2006-10-01

Well, I didn't need to read far into the first customer review to discover that my issue wasn't singular. The issue? The DVD player, after working just fine, just stopped reading disks. Boom, just like that, over, out and that's all she wrote! One night it was working great, the next night a "NO DISK" message. Naturally, I tried a number of disks, even the optical lens cleaner one, but no go, it's dead.

The player was got in late August of '05. I'm the only user and I'm a Type-A careful guy, so I didn't do whatever killed it.

For image and sound, high marks while it worked. For longevity, minus marks; why should it only function for 13 months? I've got another DVD player, Toshiba, or there would be no need to mention it, that's been working wonderfully for over 6 years. Why this glaring discrepancy in the products sold under the same name?

If you are comfortable spending a fair amount of money for short-time usage, it gives high quality pictures and sound while it's alive. Otherwise, research DVD players and buy something reliable, which this particular one isn't, alas.

Ha! This Machine is Unreliable.......2006-08-20

After reading some of the reviews a few months I reluctantly purchased this machine because it had the features I wanted. I was reluctant to buy because of the difficulty many reviewers on here expressed about set-up and getting a picture.

I had no problem setting it up and it used to work fine. However we've had it a few months now and the machine does not recognize DVD disks. I've read other online reviews today of Toshiba's other DVD products and it seems that their products give up after a few months.

I've always been a Sony guy and have bought MANY things over the years from them without any problems (as with any company I'm sure Sony does have some occaisonal defective products, but I personally have never come across any). At any rate I can not recommend buying any Toshiba DVD products based on my limited experience and what I've read.

I went to Toshiba's web site to see if they offered trouble shooting. It seems logical to devote some space on the web site that lists the various error messages with suggested actions. The web site does not have this. I did look at the owner's manual, which does offer some trouble shooting, but it does not cover this particular error message. Toshiba's customer support is open M-F, 10 am to 7 pm Eastern. I'll call them when they're open. Obviously customer support is another weak point of Toshiba. I'm in California so I'd have to call between 7 am to 4 pm California time, and I'm either on my way to the office or already there. So their hours of operation for most people in the Western US is inconvenient.

To be fair I do not know Sony's customer support hours (or if they are better) but that's only because I've never had a problem with Sony or had a reason to call them.

These don't last.......2006-06-27

We have had two of these... bought one and it stopped working within the first two weeks. We exchanged it and we have had the second one for about 9 months and it also has stopped working... Don't buy this machine... it is not reliable.

High Quality Card.......2001-09-13

I purchased this card after going through several downloads of my 8mg card for my DC3400. This has been an excellent card that has given me no problems!

It's even taken a spill or two and it's still working without any glitches. If you need quality and durability with high quality downloads then this card is for you!

Not Worth the Price Premium.......2001-03-21

This card works fine, but here is the bitter truth.

The core of all the cards (known in technical terms as the "controller") are made by only a few DRAM manufacturers. Those handful of DRAM manufacturers then sell the "controllers" to the major flash card manufacturers (i.e. SanDisk, Kodak, Olympus, and Viking). The flash card manufacturers then simply throw some plastic casings on the controllers, slap on a label, and ship the cards. As long as the flash card manufacturer is reputable, has a good warranty, and has been around for over 5 years; you will be just fine.

What I am trying to get at? I simply want to make it clear that you should not buy a card based solely on the fact it is made by Kodak. Check the pricing against the other major manufacturers (i.e. SanDisk, Viking, etc.) and then make your decision.

More Memory.......2001-01-05

I have a Kodak DC3400. It only has 8MB memory so I could only take about 11 pictures. Now I can take about 40. It is great!

Bass reflex enclosure design via front-firing Corner Port

8-inch copper-colored Klipsch Cerametalic cone employs aluminum anodized to ceramic on inner and outer surfaces -- resulting in a rigid cone with superb damping characteristics

Uncommonly large motor structure and high-temperature, long-excursion voice coil

Class A/B amplifier delivers 100 watts continuous, 200 watts dynamic power

Continuously variable phase control from 0 to 180 degrees allows perfect integration with other speakers in the system

ASIN: B000782SOG

Product Description

The KLIPSCH RW-8 shatters all expectations for deep, driving bass. This Reference Series subwoofer plays louder and goes deeper than other, significantly larger designs, creating the most intense bass ever. Frequency response - 32Hz - 120Hz +/- 3dB Maximum acoustic output - 103dB @ 30 Hz Auto Power On - 2 second ON delay, 15 minute OFF delay Low Pass Crossover - Continuously variable from 40-120Hz, 24dB/octave slope above 120Hz Inputs - 2 speaker binding posts, 2 line level RCA phono jacks, 1 line level LFE jack Enclosure material - Medium density fiberboard ( MDF ) Internally wired with Bandwidth Balanced Monster Cable Dimensions - 16 x 10 x 17.9 Weight - 29 pounds Finish - Black Ash vinyl veneer

Amazon.com Product Description

Based on Klipsch's innovative Corner Port technology, the compact RW-8 powered subwoofer delivers strong, clean bass from a decidedly small-footprint enclosure. And because both the driver and the port are at the front of the cabinet, the RW-8 can be placed back against a wall, deep into a corner, or even in custom cabinetry. It can be used in a supporting role to full-range speakers, filling in and reinforcing their bottom end, or as the sole bass provider for a system built around small satellite speakers. It has an attractive black ash wood grain vinyl finish with a sculpted front panel and grille adding a stylish, upscale appearance to your home.

The 8-inch woofer features a copper-colored Klipsch Cerametallic cone, made of anodized aluminum. The anodizing process converts its inner and outer surface to ceramic. The result is a rigid cone with superb damping characteristics--the woofer will not flex or resonate. An uncommonly large motor structure and high-temperature, long-excursion voice coil--enabling it to deliver rich, dynamic bass down to 30Hz--ensure efficient, reliable operation and, in combination with the mechanical characteristics of the cones, remarkably low distortion.

It is powered by a high-efficiency amplifier, capable of 270 watts dynamic power output. The RW-8's low-pass crossover has a steep 24dB/octave slope and is outfitted with continuously variable frequency and phase controls, facilitating smooth integration with the main speakers. Input is two-channel (blended to mono in the crossover) via linelevel RCA jacks or speaker-level binding posts.

Alternatively, to take advantage of your A/V preamp's or receiver's internal crossover, you can connect directly to the subwoofer via a single direct-input RCA jack. The RW-8's level control is mounted on the side of the cabinet for easy access, and an auto power feature enables the subwoofer to turn on and off automatically.
