CHEAP Ink Cartridges.......2007-09-08

In addition to all of the other "Kudos" awarded to this printer by the other reviewers, I want to add the following. While the price of "Genuine Canon" ink cartridges may (does) border on outright robbery, you DON'T have to buy them. Compatible cartridges are dirt cheap at places like "inkquik.com". If you buy a refill kit from say, "abcink.com", you can refill your own for pennies each. I do, they are VERY easy to refill, work as good as new, and canon even gives you a "Reset Ink Level" option under the print driver "maintenance" section. YAY Canon -- DOWN for HP !!!!

Planned Obsolescence.......2006-02-09

As a road warrior, I bought the i70 to replace my old Canon BJC-85, and to use with my Powerbook G4. On the plus side, it is fast and prints reasoably good text, and very good photos if you use photo paper. The black ink tank could be bigger, but that is a minor issue. It is the smallest printer of its type that I have seen.

The real problem is that at a certain point, you will have to replace the waste ink tank, something that I did not have to do with previous Canon printers. This is not something you can do yourself; you must send or take the printer to an authorized service facility, and pay around $115 for the replacement. That is equal to half of what I paid for the printer approximately 2 years ago. And if you ignore the warning light, the printer will just quit on you in the middle of an important print job.

Cannon says that as a "loyal" customer, they will give you a discount on a new printer, instead of replacing the waste ink tank, however, they will not tell you what that discount is up front. Further, a tech at the service facility told me the newer models, such as the i80 and ip90 have the same flaw engineered into the product. Seems like Canon has decided their authorized service facilities are more important than their customers.

I wrote to Canon, and received the reply that my comments would be directed to the appropriate person. I hope so.

Small & Convenient.......2005-12-06

I had this printer for about a year and had no complaints whatsoever. Ink can get a bit pricey but there's always Cartridge World who will refill both tanks for $18. I am on the road a lot and the size is extremely convenient, put it in your bag, get it out in the hotel, and boom, you got yourself a small office. Highly recommended. Hint: It's quite sensitive so don't put it in a bag that you'll check @ the airport. I did that for the 1st time last week, and when I plugged it I had an "out of paper" error even tough the tray was full. Through some research I found out that through bag checkout they had bent a piece that senses for paper, so I just bent it back and the problem was gone!

Great Quality but wastes a ton of Ink.......2004-12-19

I have had this little baby for over 1 year now and have no complaints what so ever about the print quality.
For a little printer, the quality is stunning.
I also bought the battery pack so printing on the go from a laptop is simple. The battery pack has provided more than enough life, lasting more than my laptop's battery.

The one complaint: very poor Mac OS X software. I mean very poor. Mac users aren't used to being asked to confirm dumb questions multiple times like PC users are.

For example, there are 2 menu options to access settings regarding the ink levels and neither of them are clear.
If you choose: Ink Level Information why should you have to click 'update?' Shouldn't the software update the information before displaying it? This is like one of those annoying PC Wizards that ask you the same question multiple times.
The other choice regarding ink is "Remaining ink level setting'
Unfortunately you have to reset the ink level settings manually...a major annoyance and inconvenience. This is done by clicking the obvious Ink Counter Rest Button in the Remaining ink level setting screen. But why is there a Remaining Ink Level Indicator Setting button? There is another menu option that displays the current ink level so what's this for? Whatever it does, it sends some message to the printer. Maybe an ink level setting reset? If so, then shouldn't the other button have done it already? Are you getting confused? see what I mean!?
Who knows. It is just stupid and confusing.
The ink level indicators are almost never right anyway, so be prepared to have to change ink cartriges in a trial and error fashion when your print quality doesn't seem right.

As a matter of fact, when there is something wrong with your print quality, don't expect the Print Utility to be much help at all.
For example, When you choose "Cleaning" there is a button that says -Cleaning: Starts print head cleaning.' What do you think will happen when you click this?
Nope. It gives you an option with check boxes: All Colors, Black, or Color. then an 'OK' button. So you have chosen the colors you want to clean and click 'ok' so what do you think will happen now?
Instead of the printer beginning to clean the heads, you are given an alert box that Asks "Clean the Print Head?" and you have to click 'OK' again.

Geeez..... talk about annoying! Just clean the damn heads already!!!! The softweare doesn't seem to know it was written for Mac OS X and not Windows.

It's a shame the software is soooo bad, because this is otherwise a really great printer.

If you get this printer, you will love the photos, but be prepared to spend a lot of $$ on ink and get a little frustrated when you need to use the utility.

Great little printer.......2004-09-10

I've had this printer for 9 months and its been great. 2 complaints: it runs out of ink quickly and the ink for this printer is expensive; 2) there is no paper catch.

Amazon.com Review

With the AV3S Dolby Pro Logic Receiver, Nakamichi affirms its longstanding reputation for quality sound, bringing 70 watts of front-channel power and several winning design features to an affordable audio-video (AV) receiver. The clearly laid out AV3S is ready to use in a heartbeat, with all features clearly indicated on both its solid front panel and the supplied remote control (which operates both Nakamichi CD and cassette decks).

The Dolby Pro Logic-equipped AV3S pumps an impressive 70 watts per channel (wpc) to the front speakers and 55 wpc to the rear. The system employs Nakamichi's Harmonic Time Alignment technology on each of the four powered channels to minimize distortion. As with all Pro Logic systems, the AV3S derives its surround program from any two-channel audio input, which the receiver independently processes and routes to left, center, right, and surround speakers. It wouldn't be a true AV receiver without a subwoofer output, though, and the inclusion of one on the AV3S nicely augments the Pro Logic surround and standard music playback.

Independent level adjustments for the center- and rear-channel outputs and a variable delay time for the surround channels (from 15 to 30 milliseconds in 5-ms increments) help facilitate setup. But the star of this show is the sound quality. The receiver drives large speakers to ear-splitting levels with power to spare, succumbing to neither compression nor distortion. We found the sound clear and well-balanced, inviting longer listening and more volume. However, most of your listening will probably be at reasonable sound levels, and the AV3S excelled here as well. Aided by a bass- and treble-boosting "loudness" switch, the receiver delivered clear and full-bodied low-level sound--an under-appreciated trait of a quality amplifier.

The AV3S is perfect for audio enthusiasts who have a growing interest in home theater but want an affordable, full-featured integrated receiver.

Pros:

Good sound
High power
Clever features
Flexible AV routing

Cons:

Not Dolby Digital-equipped

still sterling after 2 years.......2002-10-05

It would be nice if I could decode the latest digital video standards, but that's about it on complaints. Considering the extremely reasonable price, this is simply the best receiver I've ever had.

It offers astonishingly clear sound (with my 5 ohm Magneplaners and a/d/s/ sub), plus plenty of inputs and outputs, and all around versatility. Simply superb. Even more importantly, whenever I want to do something, I just reach for the analogue buttons and dials and it happens. No perusing the manual. Try that with a Yamaha or Denon.

Note: this receiver is no longer produced. However, the current Nakamichi AV-7 is almost identical (but with more video inputs), and the AV-8 and AV-10 combine extra features (like a built-in crossover and DTS decoding) with the same amazing usability.

The best receiver-family going. Get one, even if you already have a McIntosh or a Mark Levinson. You may be very surprised by which one you actually use.

Poor man's primium stuff.......1999-12-31

I purchased this receiver from Amazon.com at the very reasonable price offered, and have since enjoyed its class of quality and performance. I can confirm other reviewers' opinion of its very clear sound quality and nice looking built. Beyond that I want to say that it's very discriminating to the nature of its source material: good recordings sound fabulous while poorly mixed ones sound intolerably muddy. Several shortcomings nevertheless are present: limited A/V connectivity with only 2 video inputs; a merely moderate current output--perhaps not enough to drive large speakers or low-impedence ones well; somewhat flimsy connectors on back panel requiring careful pluggings and unpluggings. But these reservations are secondary for me given its nice balance of costs and benefits. If you want quality more than newest technology (DTS etc.) this is definitely worthy a try.

Beast of a deal!.......1999-12-03

Wonderful price and quality sound. I was concerned about low price and non-digital. Price reflects a great value NOT a cheap budget line of Nakamichi, super suprise. Power is more than enough, pushing (2)200w Technics & (2)150w Advents. IT MOVES YOU! Super clarity for surround set-up with solid power for all music styles.

You cant go wrong with this great value........1999-11-19

Nakamichi,that says it all.What a great value on an outstanding piece of audio equipment.I unboxed the AV-3s,proceded to unhook my old Luxman receiver and was listening to it shortly after.The AV-3s has all the power one could want and the clearity is just what one would expect from Nakamichi.I am more than pleased with this receiver and would tell anyone shopping for one to check this one out..You cant beat Nakamichi,and you sure cant beat this value. Thank You

A Superior Piece of Musical Equipment.......1999-07-14

Fans of the Nakamichi brand know that their legendary tape decks can record a CD perfectly, accurately preserving the spatial relationships that make listening to a good recording akin to the live experience. This receiver eschews unneeded lights and gadgets to concentrate on producing superior sound. I marvelled at the transparent airy high end and the front-to-back imaging. The remote control, although not lighted, is intelligently designed. If my Sony Dolby Digital receiver is a Nissan Altima, this is a Lexus LS400.

With a sleek, stylish design that will make your old monitor hang its putty-colored head in embarrassment, Microtek's flat panel monitor features 15 viewable inches and a tiny footprint and profile to eliminate desktop clutter. Value is the name of the game with the C586, combining crisp 1,024 x 768 XGA resolution and 0.297 mm dot pitch. The result is consistently sharp imaging for an accessible price.

And the screen's visibility holds up even in brightly lit office environments thanks to an antiglare surface coating.

Great LCD panel for all. Stylish, slim, and easy to setup........2002-06-19

I am running two of these in a dual monitor setup at 1024X768 resolution on both. The colors are very vivid, sharp and bright as well. I bought a total of 8 of these LCD panels and have sold them all with the computers I custom build for people and have had nothing but impressive comments on them. I've compared this LCD to my brother's Viewsonic VG150 and it clearly comes out ahead (slimer, brighter, sharper, and very easy to setup). I guess the only downfault is that it only has a analog input. but from my experience with DVI and analog inputs is I would doubt you can tell the difference with your eyes which one is plugged in. I hope this helps. [....] But anyhow, great panel.
