Definately durable.......2006-05-30

I recieved a MuVo a couple years ago and it's still with me despite dropping it frequently on hard floors and nearly flushing it down a toilet (don't ask). The only thing that has happened is that the battery cover has broken from dropping it.
My only qualms with it are that it's not compatible with iTunes, and the battery life is not very good, though it only takes one AAA. Music fans shouldn't rely on this player, buy a hard drive mp3 player with a large lcd if you plan on exceeding 25 songs, because scrolling through each song instead of having a list is an annoyance.
But, if your only looking for a small durable companion this is a
good buy

Defective or just 2X bad luck?.......2006-02-25

I love this mp3 player-- it fits everywhere, has a long battery life, reasonable quality audio for recording, efficient with space, very user-friendly, etc.
My only problem with this player is that I have had two defective ones. The first player brought me joy and happiness until 2 weeks of living with me, when it would shut off every time it was ready to advance to the next song. That's fine. So I got a replacement.
This current one was fine for 10 weeks until it would shut off even before I could fully power it on. This only happens 75% of the time, but that is definitely inconvenient, since I don't know how to prevent the incidences.
Aside from my negative experiences, its wonderful versatility is suitable for most activities... providing it works.
The problems I'm having are seemingly unrelated, and since I've followed the manual for usage since day-1, I doubt its my fault.

Great LIttle MP3.......2006-02-11

For the price, this small MP3 player delivers on quality. It was a gift for my technology-challenged teen who needed the recording capability of this player. It makes a decent recording but actually is being used more as the MP3 player. It's very small, easy to use and we have been very impressed overall with this great little player.

Great little MP3 player, but lacks a random button.......2005-12-16

I own the white micro, and it works great. I am relatively abuseive to my electronics, dropping them, pilling stuff on top of them. and the Micro has responded well. It comes with a rubber cover which helps protect it (and yes, it does bounce). The earbuds it came with were great. The menu is easy to figure out, and while the FM signal strength leave something to be desired, it only like 2 inches long, so thats kind of expected...

My biggest complaints (and really, what else is to complain about with this player) is that you can't set a playlist or random play (without a big hassel). It sets its own playlist: alphabetically. If you rearrange your mp3s by artist first, it will play them grouped together. If you want to set a playlist, Creative Labs told me that I needed to go and physically alter the file name of the song, putting something before the artist or title, whichever comes first in your setup. Thats fine if you only want to set one playlist forever and never change the songs, but if you want to be able to add and delete new songs, thats not a reasonable option.
There is a new MuVo MIX available from creative labs that takes care of the lack of a random button. I haven't tried it yet, but if they kept the rest of the features of this great player, they've taken care of its most glaring flaw!

Creative Muvo Micro - Feature Packed, Good Value MP3 player.......2005-11-08

The Creative Muvo Micro N200 MP3 player may not be found in the market, as it has been 'replaced' by a 'new' model called the Zen Nano Plus, which seems to be the same model with a new name. I think that this review can apply to new player as well.

As regards the player:

The Creative Muvo Micro is a flash based MP3 player, not hard-disk based, unlike the Apple iPod. Let's see it according to various parameters:

1. Style:
Well, the MP3 players from creative have been stylish, and this one is no exception. It is almost the size of a cigarette lighter, and only slightly larger than a matchbox. While this may seem de riguer for all flash based players these days, not all of them can truly claim to be this small in reality. The Micro is basically a rectangular/cuboidal shape with soft edges and a small display (which is not colored, but suits a player of this size). Of course, some MP3 players like Sandisk's Flash range offer a bigger display, but are also bigger in size overall.

2. Build:
This is one area where I feel the player could have done a bit better, It is well made, even though it is constructed in plastic, but the volume and play/power button are a wee bit flimsy. Nothing to worry about, of course, unless you have a 6 year old with a penchant for using it as a WMD ;)

3. Features:
This is the Creative's USP. It is one player that is loaded to the gills with features such as a FM radio with FM Radio Recording, Microphone, and even Line-in recording, for converting songs from cassettes directly to MP3 using th player alone. No need of the computer. In addition, the player has 4 equalizer settings, and even a customizable one. And of course, it plays music brilliantly. My player has 256MB of memory which holds about 50-60songs, and the player also comes in 128MB, 512MB and 1GB versions. I would advice you to avoid the 1GB version, as it is expensive, and at that price, I'd rather say you stretch your budget for the uber-cool 2GB iPod Nano. (which has a colour screen, but no FM radio).

4. Sound:
This of course is the primary thing anyone should look for in an MP3 player, and the Creative does not disappoint. The sound quality is quite good, and can handle all genres of music from Pop to Rock to Hip-Hop, Trance... and everything in between. The earphones provided are of an excellent quality, with a nice comfortable padding, and feel quite good to use even for long durations. The volume may need to pumped up a bit for listening in loud situations, but i found that a software update on the net loudens up the set quite a bit, providing even louder volume, which is good.

5. Other features:
The player also comes with a very nice rubber-like extra cover to protect it. This cover is white and translucent, and lets you access the controls very easily. IT also doubles up as a belt clip, and the Micro also comes with a shoulder strap. The cover is quite good, as it saved the player from getting scratches when I dropped it.

A few quirks/drawbacks of the player:

There area a few drawbacks to the Muvo, primarily the weird sort of faint buzzing sound which comes whenever the backlight is on. This can or cannot be a major issue, and I guess most owners have come to accept and live with this. This problem is only heard when you are changing songs, in the silent period between the change of songs. For once the song is being played, you cannot hear the buzz in the background. Besides, I found that, unless you use the player at night or in a dark room, you do not need the backlight. In a moderately lit room, the backlight is not needed.

The other quirk is the relative lack of FM signal strength. I say relative, as compared to other players, as reception is quite good. It may only get a bit fuzzy if you are in a lift or a closed room with no windows ;). You have to manually scan for the FM stations, as Auto scan can't pick them up very effectively, but once you've got your station of choice, you only need to save it to the Preset mode, and you can access it at the flick of a switch.

Overall, the Muvo Micro is a very nice MP3 player to have. For those concerned about the slight Buzz, you can try Creative's Muvo TX FM, which has the same features, but is slightly larger.

works if you don't give up.......2006-07-22

Spent hours and several phone calls with tech support. Finally got someone who kept working until she got it working. Set up wisard seems to be missing some steps. Wouldn't work when we changed the SSID and has to be on channel 11. Got it to work well using WEP64. It's currently working, but have had to deal with "crash override".

This is not a solid piece of equip. I do have a Motorola w/l router that has worked great for almost a year. If the print server starts acting up I will probably replace both with another manufacturer.

All the tech support staff I dealt with were pleasant and knowledgable, but not knowledgeble enough.

This thing is a bag of old pants... Works, but only just!.......2006-02-17

[...] I have 3 desktop PCs and one or 2 laptops in my home WEP WiFi network, and only one HP6540 printer. Seemed like the ideal solution.

Setting it up was no problem whatsoever. Got it to print the Windows test page first time, and was quite pleased with myself. There the fun ended...

I have found that:

* I need to keep it switched off, and only turn it on when I need to print something. If I leave it switched on, the next time I turn on a PC and try to print, I get the old "Print Server connect failure" message, and it needs a reboot.

* When it decides to print, it will print large or small documents quickly if, and only if the print queue is already completely empty. Every time I print something, it leaves a couple of KB worth of the print job in the queue, with status "Printing". This stays there for about 5 mins, and I can't even delete it. If I try, Windows just says "Deleting" for 5 mins.

* When I tried to do a firmware upgrade off their website to see if it would fix the above, it toasted the Flash memory in the print server, and I had to send it back to Mot at my expense for an exchange.

* Gets exceedigly hot if left switched on in the summer.

* Sometimes things get really screwed up. My 7 year old daughter tried printing one of her creations and unbeknownst to me kept getting the "Print Server connect failure" message, so she kept hitting print. Even after rebooting PC, printer and print server, one of the three somehow remembered all those print jobs and started spewing them out. Could I stop it? I could not.

Great concept, very poor implementation.......2005-10-01

Couldn't get this to work with WPA despite advertising saying that it would work.

Couldn't get the product to work with WEP - had to send it back and have another one sent out (at my expense despite the fact the product was broken).

Both the current and the replaced print server has to be rebooted after a couple of hours because it stops working. Motorola "customer support" says this is a known issue.

False advertising by Motorola--do not buy.......2005-09-08

1) Product spec states it supports WPA encryption. I couldn't get it to work so I contacted Motorola tech support by email. The return email stated "the printserver doesnot support WPA security. (sic)" Thus, the false advertising claim.

2) WPA issues aside, I really couldn't get my printer to work using this printserver.

Works Fine For Me.......2005-07-28

I had to play a bit with the installation wizard and, while the installation instructions say that you can disconnect the ethernet cable between the router and the server after installation, I have to leave them connected. Otherwise, it works fine using WPA and the parallel connection. Good range throughout my house. Got a good buy on it--under $50.

Rich detail. Extraordinary color. That's precisely what you get with the DiMAGE F300. Its 1/1.8-type CCD has an effective resolution of 5.0 megapixels, which delivers highly refined images that are ideal for enlarged printing: 43.3 x 32.5 cm/17 x 12.8 inches at 150dpi, or A5-size/6 x 9 inches at 300dpi. For optimum color reproduction, three key features are included: a primary color filter, 12-bit A/D conversion, and Minolta's exclusive CxProcess image processing technology. High-grade Minolta optics harnesses the full potential of the powerful CCD. The Minolta GT Lens is an ultra-compact lens with 8 elements in 7 groups. It has 3 aspherical surfaces to suppress chromatic aberration and image distortion. Only lenses that pass the strictest quality standards earn the GT Lens designation, and are featured on cameras developed under the "Superior Image Quality" concept. Distracting specks of color can be a serious problem with many digital cameras, but not the DiMAGE F300. At slow shutter speeds, its highly effective noise reduction goes into action. Landscapes shot at night, for example, look remarkably clear as a result.

When it comes to widescreen high-definition, the C34W23 HDTV is the total solution, providing superior clarity at a remarkable price. No additional equipment. No hassles. No competition. One look and you'll see why Zenith is setting the standard in HDTV.

Amazon.com Product Description

Zenith's flagship 34-inch HDTV set, the C34W23 offers a built-in ATSC tuner so you don't need to purchase a separate tuner in order to receive local high-definition broadcasts. The C34W23 also features 1080i resolution capability, 16:9/4:3 aspect ratio correction, and scan velocity modulation for sharp picture rendering.

The C34W23 offers a number of high-definition features that provide amazing picture clarity. The 34-inch flat, fine-pitch picture tube with Invar shadow mask provides the sharpest and clearest picture possible. The 3D Y/C comb filter combines the adaptive digital processing of a 3-line digital comb filter with 3D motion detection to eliminate hanging dots and color noise on stationary images. The Dynamic Focus feature ensures accurate side-to-side focus and alignment of red, green, and blue color beams to the center of the screen.

With the 16:9/4:3 aspect ratio correction function, you can watch Hollywood movies in their original widescreen format (16:9) or in standard TV format (4:3). Other features include a color temperature control--which lets you adjust the ambiance of the screen's picture between warm, mid, and cool presets--built-in 14-watt speakers (7 watts per channel), Dolby Digital sound output, front surround-sound function to simulate 3D sound, trilingual menus (English, French, and Spanish), and MTS/SAP audio broadcast.

Included Jacks
S-video in (2 sets, 1 rear/1 front), RF in (2 sets, rear); composite-video in (3 sets, 2 rear / 1 front); composite-video out; high-res component-video in Y, Pb, Pr (2 sets, rear); 5.1-channel Dolby Digital out (1 set; rear); A/V out; 2 front input jacks; 9 rear jacks (input and output).

Tech Talk

DCDi: A video-mode algorithm that stands for Directional Correlation De-interlacing. It was designed for video-based material like fast-paced sporting events, and its purpose is to eliminate jagged edges ("jaggies") along diagonal lines caused by interpolation.
Active lines: Scanning formats are measured in active lines of picture elements or pixels transmitted, both horizontal and vertical. The number of total pixels is calculated by multiplying the amount of vertical lines by the density of horizontal picture elements. For example, the 1920 x 1080 HDTV format has more than 2 million pixels (1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600). Today's NTSC video only has a resolution of 211,200 pixels (480 vertical lines and 440 horizontal pixels).
Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Today's standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. A 16:9 aspect ratio is widescreen and appears rectangular--it looks more like a movie screen, filling more of the viewer's field of vision to yield a lifelike viewing experience.
Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines that are scanned onto a television screen so closely they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TV), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, "p," fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, creating a seamless image.
Frame rate: Also known as picture rate, the frame rate is the speed at which the lines are scanned in order to create a video frame--60, 30, or 24 frames per second.

What's in the Box
Zenith C34W23 HDTV, remote control, and 2 AA batteries.

Buyer Beware!!.......2003-06-11

I purchased this item in March 2003 and now in June it does'nt work! I turned it on one day the set stayed on approximatley 40 minutes and then the picture began to switch off and on off and on...
I paid [a lot] for this item it should work great with no hassels! I'm writing this rewiew in an effort to warn other HDTV shoppers to be very wary of this product. The Manufacturers of these HDTVS need to understand the purchase of one of these sets is a major financial consideration for most people. I am now watching my old ...color JVC and you know what it looks better all the time!
If you feel you must buy this model from Zenith see if the merchant will give you a couple of weeks to try the product. if not find another manufacturer.......I feel in order to be fair to Zenith I must follow up on my initial poor review with a progress report. After calling Zenith and venting my anger with them I contacted one of their service representatives A technician came to my house a couple of days later, he replaced the defective parts at no charge to me and now my TV works great and looks even better P.S. have it calibrated...
