Start with the clean, ?new-stalgic? look. Taking design cues from modern art, the corners are gently rounded to create the Solo effect.

Amazon.com Product Description

Say hello to the Solo, Crosley's initial offering in its Audiophile line of high-end audio products. Taking its cues from modern art enthusiasts, the Solo boasts a "new-stalgic" look with gently rounded corners and a clean, efficient front panel. Accentuating the design are a pair of silver control knobs, a large 5:1 ratio analog airplane tuning dial that adds a retro touch, and a 3-inch, full-range, studio-quality speaker with a discrete amplification system. The radio's bold artistry and craftsmanship are sure to grab visitors' attention--it's an ideal accent piece for the home or office--while the full array of audio functions will keep you happily humming to your favorite tunes.

More significantly, the Solo produces the cleanest, most consistent sound of any radio on the market thanks to its AroundSound technology, a proprietary design philosophy that eliminates "hot spots" in sound reproduction. Regardless of its location in a room, the Solo delivers a measurable difference in acoustic consistency--more than three times better than its nearest competitor. To the consumer, this means a more pleasurable listening experience, with an enveloping surround effect that wraps the listener in a comfortably warm, pleasant tone. The experience extends from the precise AM/FM tuner to any device connected to the portable Audio Ready input, which can include personal CD players, MP3 players, video players, or computers.

Other features include an orange LED tuning indicator, a headphone output for private listening, and an external AM/FM antenna. The Solo even comes with a 12-volt jack that--when paired with an adapter (not included)--plugs into a camper, car, or boat's cigarette lighter for remote power. The Solo measures 7.5 by 5.25 by 5.75 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Good looking, average performing, overpriced radio.......2007-07-04

For the price of this radio I expected a lot more. I could go on and on about about the problems I initially had ordering the radio, but thats a different story. Target was selling this unit thru Amazon "on sale" for $89.00. Since they regularly sell for approx $130.00, I thought it was a good deal. When the radio arrived I took it out of its box and noticed 3 blemishes in the walnut cabinet, not the end of the world but still, I paid over $100.00 incl shipping and tax which is a lot of money for a table radio.....I believe Target's "sale" on this radio was for bruised units that they must have had returned to them in their stores.....I also thought it was a little odd that the sticker on the back of the radio had a mfg date of "DEC 2005," I purchased the radio JUN 2007.....Besides the blemished cabinet, the radio does look great, I wish I could say the same for its perfomance......The sound is GOOD...but NOT great.....I think its comical that a previous reviewer had issues receiving AM broadcasts. My problem was with FM broadcasts, I have to have the antenna completely extended and tilted and angled to a specific degree and the reception is still scratchy. I've had a easier time tunning in old vacuume tube Zeniths (with internal "armstrong" antennae)from the 1950's! Another problem I see (or hear) is that the radio has WAY too much bass. I was listening to an AM news station, the announcers voice was low to begin with, but with the exorbidant amount of bass coming off of the radio, the speaker was causing the cabinet to vibrate. I mean we're not talking about Pink Floyds's "The Wall" here. Another issue I have....I was expecting that I would be able to crank the volume on this radio to the max without ANY distortion, as it is a $100.00 radio right? Not as such....Listening to anything (AM-FM-AUX) past the half way point on the volume dial causes a lot of speaker vibrating distortion. I plugged my portable CD player into the radio. I followed the radio's directions and turned the volume level on my CD player down to the MIN setting. I played The Beach Boy's "Pet Sounds" CD specifically because it was/is a mono recording. It sounded alright...not bad, but NOT great, not what I was expecting. Again, volume slightly past the half way mark and the speaker itself starts making its own music. My problem is that this unit is / was being toted as an "audiophile" type piece which is what I was looking for. In my opinion, the unit isn't close. Its a real great looking $25.00 radio. My father used to own several nothing special GE / Sears / Montgomery Ward radio's back in the 1980's that sounded JUST as good as this one. Guess I'll eventually have to FORCE myself to save up $500.00 and buy a Bose or something equal. Wait....$500.00 for a table radio???? Forget that!!!!! I'll buy a $500.00 receiver instead.

Mod pod meets retro.......2007-01-11

I was looking for something to play an ipod in the house but I didn't want it to stick out like a sore thumb. It works great for what I need of it and sounds much better than I would ever expect a radio of it's size.

Excellent Product.......2006-08-02

We use this radio in the office and the sound from that little radio fills up the room. The sound quality is great and the price is good. I would recommend this product for anyone interested in a cool-looking radio that can perform!

Poor AM reception.......2006-05-22

I'll admit, this radio looks neat, has decent sound for its size, and the FM reception is good. However, I could pull in virtually no AM stations without physically touching the antenna, and the stations I did get were not as clear as expected. In the photos of this product, the tuning knobs appear to be metallic, they are not. for $100, I expected better.

Great TV, Great Value.......2003-05-25

this is the best TV for the price I am very happy with the quality of this TV

Response.......2003-02-19

In response to "A Guest from Cinncinati, Ohio" - if you knew anything about sound and the way it should be modified, then you would also know that "base" is spelled B-A-S-S.

Good everything... but sound.......2003-01-21

The tv looks great, good picture, easy controls, and set-up. The poor side is the sound. You don't have much control over base and treble.. besides if you want them extra high or low. But even with the base on low (or normal) and the treble on high, the sound is very muffled. So when you listen on a low volume setting... all you get is mumbles..

Going to get cable in a few days... maybe that will help. If not... back to the store..

not on trouble shooter list.......2002-11-30

I own a philips 27 inch television, model 27ps55ss, one day a few weeks ago while surfing with the remote the channel froze on screen and there was no sound. Nothing I did to change the situation helped. I changed the batteries, but nothing, I couldn't turn off the tv using the remote. I even was forced to get up out of my chair and tried to turn off the tv manually. Still nothing worked, until I pulled the cord from the wall and started all over again.It worked fine for a few hours then the same problem happened again. I called philips 800 number and no one there ever heard of such a problem(lucky me). THANK GOD FOR COSTCO, NO QUESTIONS ASKED THEY REFUNDED MY MONEY AND I PURCHASED AGAIN THE SAME MODEL.(2 days later) so far so good. RAUL

Excellent Buy !!!.......2002-10-12

I bought this TV brand new from a local store and have used it for about 2 weeks now and it is just great! I have not had any problems with using PlayStation 2 on the side AV input. In fact the sound is great too! The picture is crisp and clear and this TV has great looks as well as quality. I am very happy with this buy!

Amazon.com Product Description

Early Adopters Pick: April 2003 Sharp's DV-RW2U is the world's first DVD recorder to incorporate a DV terminal with iLink for direct digital video transfer to a DVD disc, allowing you make simple, one-touch video recordings onto durable, rewriteable DVDs for collecting, sharing, time-shifted viewing, and video archiving.

The DV-RW2U is an integrated DVD recorder and player that lets you make simple, one-touch video recordings onto durable, rewriteable DVDs for collecting, sharing, time-shifted viewing, and video archiving. The DV-RW2U records up to 4.7 gigabytes (GB) of data at a spell, making it ideal for preserving and archiving digital photographs, home videos, and presentations with high picture and sound quality.

Unlike VHS tapes, the DV-RW2U offers a main menu for easy searching and chapter replay. DVD-RWs can be re-recorded up to 1,000 times. You can also record on standard DVD-R and play back formats like CD-RW, CD-R, and standard CDs. The DV-RW2U's enhanced disc-navigation system with thumbnail display provides instant scene choice from a disc's table of contents. It's possible to record up to eight programs with the touch of a button using timer recording. The "Just Recording" feature checks the disc capacity each time you insert a DVD-RW, and not only does it determine how much additional space is left, but it will never record over a disc without first alerting you. The DV-RW2U records up to two hours of video in standard mode (SP) and up to six hours in manual mode (MN). When recording, the DV-RW2U provides helpful features like title option, which makes it easy to edit and rename different segments as they're being recorded.

In the audio department, this unit--like other DVD recorders--compresses all incoming audio signals with Dolby Digital 2.0, which conserves space but slightly compromises audio quality. A set of left/right analog-audio outputs benefit from 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters, channeling DVD and CD sound to audio/video receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. Additional features include a DV terminal with iLink for direct digital video transfer from digital camcorders, four-step fast forward/reverse, and slow four-step forward and two-step reverse.

Worked Great for over a Year..........2006-12-14

I've had this machine for well over a year and have had no problems with it until now. In fact, I was quite pleased with it (considering it was so inexpensive). It had some limitations (takes a bit of a while to load discs compared to some other machines, making it take a longer to be able to record a program), but these are probably due to it being an older generation machine anyway. The machine had been working very solidly, no real complaints.

But now it will not longer read ANY discs at all. It will not read blank, previously recorded, or even commercial discs.

Why can't I give no stars?.......2005-12-02

I have been an electronic nut for years and my mom and dad wanted to purchase me a reliable DVD recorder. I got this one. I am now so afraid of DVD recorders that I won't buy another one. This one worked for exactly 10 recordings. Now nothing. Zilch. Zero. I can't even play the discs that it recorded on it. I can still play commercially produced DVDs and the Dolby Digital is awesome on my surround sound system (Harmon Kardon receiver and Klipsch speakers), but I can't do anything else. I took this to the repair shop three times and they claim that nothing is wrong. I call Sharp and they tell me to try slower recordable speed discs. I even tried to change disc brands, nothing works. I really want a DVD recorder, but if this is how all of them act, then I will stick with VHS for the moment.

the WORST.......2004-10-28

I have 4 DVD recorders.I have 3 Panasonics (great machines) & wanted a 4th but because of the IR remote I was limited to 3.So I needed another brand and SHARP had a good price (it seemed, incorrectly)so I got the SHARP.It is an amazing BAD machine.It doesn't work correctly and getting it fixed is a nightmare. I just sent it back for the second time,it returned today and they fixed NOTHING.It is a true Nightmare,STAY AWAY!!!

Home video makers dream.......2003-10-03

Makes perfect DVD copies of home movies recorded on VHS or
8mm. Includes a firewire port for making perfect copies of
mini DV camcorders. I only record in the Fine mode yielding
about 1 hr per 4.7 GB DVD-R. Also records to DVD-RW if you
want to reuse the disc over and over. DVD-R seems to be the most backward-compatible format if you wish to share those home movies with friends. Manual is very informative, but these
machines are fairly complicated compared to VCRs. Excellent
value!
