Product Description

The Wave radio II delivers deeper tones and crisper, more accurate audio performance than the original. The key to the improved sound is the new dual tapered waveguide technology, exclusively from Bose. Engineers re-sculpted the interior of the Wave radio II to accommodate not one, but two 26" folded waveguides. These dual waveguides amplify the low-frequency output, reproducing musical notes a full one-half octave lower than the original Wave radio. The result: Instruments like kettle drums and bass guitars have a more natural presence. With such accurate sound reproduction, you can appreciate more of the intricate nuances of many instruments, including the human voice. You may even hear details in music that you've never heard before. There's also a new equalization feature for talk radio. It automatically compensates for the artificially boosted low frequencies found in some talk radio programs so announcers sound more natural. The Wave radio II is simple to use. Instead of buttons on the unit, everything is conveniently controlled with a well-organized credit card-sized remote. And setup is easy too. The digital FM/AM tuner, amplifiers and speakers are all built into the unit. Just unpack it and plug it in to enjoy Bose quality sound. The display panel is large and bright, with big, bold text that's easier to read from across the room. It displays more information now too. Radio station, current time and alarm setting are all shown simultaneously. You can also use your Wave radio II to enjoy lifelike sound with your TV, VCR, DVD player or computer, thanks to the auxiliary input jack. Or plug your headphones into the convenient headphone jack for private listening. You can even place the Wave radio II near your TV or computer monitor because the speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid interference with the picture image.

4 out of 5 stars Bose Wave Radio II.......2006-11-12

This latest model has excellent sound and an elegant look. However, the controls are no longer on the unit itself but only on the remote. Aside from the problem of where to store the remote in a secure spot so that it doesn't fall behind the bedside table or on the floor, I use this radio as an alarm so this frequently creats problems when I am sleepily fumbling for the snooze button or the off button and I either can't find the remote or I brush it off the bedside table and under the bed. Of course, that means that I do get up but in a very irritable mood.

4 out of 5 stars Close to perfect, but not quite..........2006-08-15

Great styling, sound, and features really make this a standout product. The Bose Wave radio is a thing of beauty and will enhance any room decor, while the sound quality is outstanding. It has nice features, with the auto dimming LED display and the gradual volume increase on the alarm particulary well thought out.

I have one gripe - all the time setting features are set by remote control, which in theory is cool, but in practise is a pain in the neck. On most clock radios, to get the digits turning quickly when setting the clock / alarm time, you hold the button down - same with the Bose remote, except that the infrared link isnt perfect, so instead of being able to advance the time quickly, the time advances slowly (painfully so) because the button never stays 'held down' long enough. It took me about 20 mins to advance to the desired time - doesnt sound too inconvenient, but when you've just shelled out over $300 for a clock radio, it's a bit frustrating.

Still highly recommend product - only loses a star because of time setting shortcoming.

1 out of 5 stars over priced product .......2006-07-27

It wasn't worth the money that I payed for. It is a good radio if you have an external antenna. I would play it in the office and could never get a decent signal until I had to pay an extra $30 for an antenna. If you are going to pay $300 plus you should get something that works out of the box. I could have purchased a lesser know brand and recieved better reception then what I got. Overall if you want to end up purchasing more products to make your system work to perfection this is the product for you. There are plenty of products that don't cost as much and deliver everthing this did and more.

5 out of 5 stars No comparison.......2006-07-07

This radio, which stems from the original Bose Wave radio is an outsanding product. The quality of sound is incredible and stands in a category of its own. The reproduction of each frequency sounds superior to most anything I have heard in the past (and I have plenty of hi-fi stereo experience). The radio is incredibly small and if you had your eyes closed you would guess the item was much, much larger. Many people are complaining about poor FM reception, or problems because there are no more buttons on the radio, etc. What I will say is that a radio is and should be reviewed for the sound quality before ANYTHING else- because that is its main purpose. The alarm clock works well, and through Boses promotion program you can get a bigger remote that works in the dark. This product should receive 5 starts for the way it sounds and how small and convenient it is. Yes, it is a bit pricey but the difference in price and resale value sets this product in a category of its own. (Check out ebay if you don't believe me for resale value!) I will say the aux input (allows you to connect an outside CD player, or IPOD, mp3 player, etc) is a 3.5mm input this time instead of an RCA jack (but that problem is solved at radioshack or best buy easily) and the FM antenna input is now a 3.5mm also instead of a coaxial input (yet again, this can be solved at an electronics store). The display is large and it dims when it is dark in the room where it is placed. This system is well worth the pruchase and can save you money as you avoid spending hundreds more on several audio components (receiver, cd player, speakers, subwoofer). Bottom line is that this thing sounds great and will fill a room with incredible sound at any volume. I highly recommend this product or an older Bose Wave Radio if you are considering either.

1 out of 5 stars No Buttons - Big Hassle.......2006-04-08

A clock radio that you have to fumble for a remote to use....I don't think so. I have the older models (CD & Clock Radio) and they are nice but the new model is irritating.

I also have the IPOD player and at least the volume controls are on the system. I can't keep a system that I have to locate a remote to operate.

        1 out of 5 stars Boo Amazon! .......2006-11-04

        Purchased this camera "new" only to find that Amazon had shipped me a previously returned unit. First tip off was the camera was already charged when I first opened the box. Second tip off was dog hair stuck on the black cloth case and the inside of box. Third tip off, some family's Christmas pictures already on the camera, complete with aforementioned dog and the packaging of the camera in the shots.

        The camera has to be held very still in order to avoid blur, almost humanly impossibly still. The screen cannot be seen at all if you're outdoors in the daylight anywhere outside of complete shade, even then it's very hard to see. If the flash is on, it rarely will take more than two photos in a space of a few minutes, even even fully charged, you have to turn it off for at least half hour.

        I have no idea if other units behave this way, but I am very sorry I did not find all these operational flaws before I let the Amazon service rep talk me into keeping this lemon for a small discount. Boo Amazon! They should have insisted on shipping me a new one and reimbursing me for the postage to return this one. I'd rate this with zero stars, but that isn't a given option.

        1 out of 5 stars junk.......2006-02-23

        don't waste your money on this crappy camera. you'd be better off buying a disposable. flash doesn't work, poor quality pictures, just a big mistake as far as a purchase.

        3 out of 5 stars Received defective.........2006-01-18

        Purchased one for my daughter for Christmas. Immediately had problems, faulty flash. Apparently this isn't just an isolated problem..as I gathered from a customer service technician. But that's just an uneducated guess from the conversation. Didn't need flash for sunlit photos but many were so grainy..many came out okay. Sloooowwww to use except for transferring photos to my computer..that was pretty easy and quick. It was okay for the money for my teenager. Good 1 year warranty as they offered a new replacement, without original packaging. All I had to do was call and they said send it right in for a complete replacement.

        3 out of 5 stars large display but dim indoors.......2006-01-01

        The large display has big, easy to read menu commands, but the image is almost invisible with indoor lighting. Someone suggested that the LCD screen might eat batteries for breakfast because it's so big, but it just doesn't amplify indoor images enough to see what's going on. The photo quality is good. If you're outside most of the time and can't read the typical menu commands with a standard LCD screen, this camera's OK.

        4 out of 5 stars good camera .......2005-12-31

        this camera was a gift on christmas and i really like it. It is not the best camera in the world but it gets the job done. It has a couple of small problems like if u take a picture too close to a object(like a person) it will just show a big white blob if u use flash. and if u take a picture to far away it kinda ends up purple. But other wise it is a very good camera for the money i also like that it has rechargable batteries because i hated having to keep going to the store to find the right one. I also love the fact that it has a 3 1/2 inch screen. so if you are looking for a good camera for a child and dont want to spend alot of money then this is a great camera for you.

            I've had this drive about a week. I use it on a PowerMac G5 as a backup hard drive for photos. Sets up easily. Works fine so far.

            The design by F.A.Porsche is overrated. The design is a shiny box the size of a VHS tape. Biggy deal. They get a B- grade for forgetting to file down the very sharp edges on the front and back of the shiny box. Handle with care!

            1 out of 5 stars Do NOT purchase this hard drive!!.......2006-05-04

            To those people who said they haven't had any problems with this hard drive: just give it a few months.

            I bought the hard drive advertised here back in December '05 (about 6 months ago). It was working great until one day I turned my computer on, and lo and behold, Windows gives me the error "The drive is not ready; its door may be open." (A great error message for a hard drive, by the way, Micro$oft.) I can't access my data anymore - it's all down the tubes.

            Buy this hard drive at your own risk.

            5 out of 5 stars Kick-butt hard drive!.......2006-03-19

            Hi all:

            This hard drive, like every Lacie product I've purchased, sets up easily and works great! It's one of the few external drives anymore to have a fan - it's fast and has never given me any trouble - 2 thumbs up!

            ***ADDENDUM***: this hard drive died 20 days after the warranty expired - what a rip-off!

            5 out of 5 stars good, quiet.......2006-03-12

            been only using this 30 days or so and what I like is that it's quieter than other drives I've bought - performance is good so far etc.

              Amazon.com Product Description

              JVC's 56-inch, widescreen AV-56WP30 1080i I'Art Pro HDTV projection television offers a massive screen and the jaw-dropping quality to go with it. Equipped to render superior high-definition images from a mix of inputs, the 16:9 aspect-ratio AV-56WP30 includes a direct-digital DVI input with HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) to accept uncompressed HD signals from DTV set-top boxes. JVC's DIST (Digital Image Scaling Technology) displays all images in high-definition 1080i, regardless of the source. A scratch-resistant coating protects the set's dark-tinted screen shield.

              The AV-56WP30 incorporates exclusive I'Art features like 4 MEGA 10-bit 3D Y/C comb filter, white-character correction circuitry, and an interactive plug-in menu. Additionally, the set offers TheaterPro 6500K color temperature, 75 MHz Digital Super Detail circuitry, Digital Noise Clear circuitry, and Natural Cinema processing for all Telecene sources.

              Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

              The I'Art Pro Series TV also includes JVC's unique Natural Progressive picture improvement technology to optimize signal quality before the picture is ever displayed. Another proprietary feature, 10.7-million-pixel Natural Progressive technology, doubles the image data in each field and uses advanced 3D interpolation to display a solid image with no noticeable scan lines and eliminates jagged edge noise and image trails.

              Dual onboard NTSC tuners offer a 12 Multi-Index-Window Display for ultimate PIP/POP convenience from the set's RF video input. View 12 channels in three rows of four images to select the one most interesting to you, or view still images of three other stations stacked along the right of the screen while you watch one program in the main portion of the screen.

              Other connections include dual auto-sensing HD component-video inputs, assuring the best possible picture quality, whether you're viewing DTV, DVD, or D-VHS tapes, three S-video (Y/C) connections, four composite-video-based audio/video inputs. The DVI input is not compatible with personal computers.

              For the set's audio, JVC employs BBE High-Definition Sound Enhancement to improve speech intelligibility and restore the dynamic range of compressed musical passages. Hyper Surround simulates enveloping surround sound from any two speakers, including the set's own stereo 10-watts-per-channel bass-reflex speakers. A center-channel speaker input lets you substitute the AV-56WP30's speakers for your surround system's center speaker, saving space and ensuring that the center-channel dialogue will remain rooted at the screen.

              JVC also includes auto clock set, parental controls (V-Chip, front-panel lock, channel guard), and AV CompuLink III for simplified connectivity with other JVC AV components.
