Plays burned DVD's, but lacks a few features.......2006-12-16

I've had an older model Panasonic 7" LCD for some time now and it works great except for the fact that it does not play burned DVD's. However, this one by Dual does! I've burned quite a few DVD's in DVD-R format and the Dual XDVD8181 has taken them all without a fuss.

The CD Player is nice (nothing special) and radio works well. Also the AUX Input for the Ipod interface doesn't allow you to control the Ipod with the Touchscreen. You need to use the Ipod itself to change songs. The "iPlug" connector is simply an RCA audio (Red/White, L/R) to stereo mini-jack (female) input so you can basically connect anything that has a stereo mini jack output to it.

Installation was straight-forward if you're technically inclined. My only gripe is that I was not able to install the unit flush with the dash because of the way the LCD Screen folds up. If you try to make the unit flush, the LCD screen gets caught when it tries to open up. The only way this can be installed is by having the unit stick out of the dash about 1 inch (maybe a little less). This is not a big deal, but for those of you who are picky about asthetics, this might annoy you.

It has an input for a rear view camera if you're in to that. It also has RCA preouts (Front, Rear, and Subwoofer) but the Subwoofer preout is mono. You'll need a Y-cable if you want to split it to simulate stereo for the subwoofer (but who really needs stereo output for the subwoofer?)

One more annoyance is that if you're like me and you want to have a DVD playing while driving (not legal, but whatever), you can't simply ground the wire that's supposed to go to the parking brake. With my old Panasonic I was able to do this to "trick" the DVD player in to thinking I was parked. The way this one works is that you have to enable the parking brake, disable, then re-enable within a few seconds, then after 5 seconds of delay, the picture will show. Basically it needs to go: Ground, off, Ground. I bypassed this security measure by buying a push button switch from Radio Shack and wired the "parking brake" wire from the unit, to the button, then to the ground. So all I need to do is push the button on, push it off, then push it on again to view DVDs while driving.

For the price, this is really a good buy. Lacks add-on navigation option, integrated ipod controls via touchscreen, and flush-mount ability.. so I gave it 4 stars.

Pros:
- Price (Best bang for your buck compared to other brands)
- Plays burned DVDs (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+/-RW)
- 3 sets of RCA Preouts
- AUX Input
- Touchscreen
- Cool blue illuminated buttons
- Remote control included
- Plays MP3 CDs

Cons:
- No true Ipod control, just AUX input
- Prevents simple hacking for DVD viewing while driving, but you can still bypass (read my hack above)
- No add-on navigation option
- Does not mount flush with dash (due to the way the LCD screen opens)

Thoroughly impressed.......2006-12-02

Installation was a breeze. I was able to bypass the parking brake switch using instructions found on the Internet and a switch from Radio Shack. The picture is brilliant, even on sunny days. Sound quality is acceptable. The Loudness function is a bit overbearing, so I leave it off. Otherwise, sound quality is acceptable.
I like how it gives me the option of the using the knobs and buttons, which are much easier to deal with when the vehicle is in motion. The CD player goes from shuffle mode back to normal playback every time I restart the car -- a minor annoyance. There's a GPS navigation add-on for this but the price is high.

Great DVD Player.......2006-11-20

I just bought this DVD player for my corolla, and i have to say, it is a very good player for the price. I did have a little trouble with installing it (as for the deck size not wanting to let my console fit back on) but after some alterations, i got it to fit.

The screen is about as good as it gets for one of these in this price range. Very bright and colorful. The controls take a little getting used to but after a little while of playing with the touch screen, you get it figured out. Plays everything i've put in it yet, some CD's and most MP3 CD's, it will display the track names and what CD you have in. I also like it because it has seperate bass and subwoofer controls for people with subwoofers. I can also use the line-in for my sirius radio instead of dealing with FM transmitting which can be a pain in the... if your driving far or just cant find a clear frequency.

I recommend this to anyone who wants a nice in-dash DVD player.
The only bad thing is you have to have an emergency break on to watch DVD's (there are ways around it, but they aren't legal)

Amazon.com Review

If you're weary of a tiny 15-inch monitor, upgrading to the affordable NEC AccuSync 90 is a good move. While the AccuSync boasts an 18-inch viewable screen, this monitor's footprint is nearly as compact as that of a 17-inch model--it will save plenty of precious desk space.

At a dot pitch of 0.26 millimeters, this shadow mask CRT offers clear, detailed text and images. At higher resolutions, however, we found that smaller font sizes become nearly illegible. We also noticed ghosting near the edges. Still, there's a lot to like about the AccuSync 90; colors are rich and deep, contrast controls are strong, and the screen is surprisingly flat for a shadow mask monitor.

The AccuSync boasts a maximum resolution of 1,600 x 1,200 at 76 Hz, and at the recommended resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 at 89 Hz, eyestrain is almost nonexistent. All told, the AccuSync 90 is a well-rounded monitor that should appeal to consumers on a budget. Its dull image quality might deter high-end graphics users, but for general business applications the AccuSync 90 should fill the bill nicely. --Dan Simpson

Pros:

Inexpensive
High refresh rates

Cons:

Fuzzy text at higher resolutions
Some ghosting apparent

Great deal on a boombox!.......2001-03-13

I record a lot of CDs onto tape so I can play them in my car and in my walkman. This is pretty durable and I like the high speed dubbing feature. The CD synchro recording makes it easy to start recording from CDs too. I think this is a great buy on a dual deck cassette/CD boombox.

Product Description

Arm yourself with the ultimate in monitor technology with the versatile 17" NEC MultiSync LCD1760VM-BK-1. Features of this flat-panel model include superior image quality, internal speakers, Rapid Response for virtually uninterrupted full-motion video, cabinet color options, low power consumption and a slim footprint that allows for significantly increased desktop space.

Amazon.com Product Description

NEC's 17-inch MultiSync LCD1760VM-1 uses an active-matrix, TFT (thin-film-transistor) LCD to deliver a vivid, high-contrast picture in a wall-mountable frame less than three inches deep. The monitor comes with built-in stereo speakers and offers a choice of digital and analog inputs, NEC's Rapid Response technology for smooth, and full-motion video--and its small footprint and low weight make it easy to position and transport.

Using multiple-frequency technology, the monitor automatically adjusts to the scanning frequency of your computer's display card to give you the required resolution. A feature called No Touch Auto Adjust optimizes the monitor's image settings at power-on, while the unit's OSM lets you quickly adjust all elements of your image through simple onscreen menus.

You'll enjoy plug-and-play performance with the Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, and XP operating systems, which facilitate installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities (such as screen size and supported resolutions) directly to your computer, automatically optimizing the display. Six AccuColor presets give you a choice of color setting (sRGB and NATIVE color presets are standard and cannot be changed).

Supplied LiquidView software ensures easy, high-resolution readability by providing the largest font/icon/tool and task-bar sizes at native resolutions. Meanwhile, NaViSet software provides an intuitive graphical interface for screen-setting controls so you can make adjustments via your mouse and keyboard. FullScan capability uses the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding image size.

NEC's Rapid Response technology delivers lifelike, full-motion video with response times of 30 ms or less. Rapid Response virtually eliminates ghosting or blurring during streaming video while achieving at least 33 frames per second (fps).

The onboard IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) system allows the monitor to shift to a lower power-consumption level when it's on but not in use, saving two-thirds of your monitor energy costs, reducing emissions while lowering the air conditioning costs of your workplace.

Other ErgoDesign features include a tiltable base, small footprint, and compliance with MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions. The monitor's VESA-standard mounting interface lets you connect the monitor to any VESA-standard third-party mounting arm or bracket.

I read a review of this product that complained about compatablity. This product works just fine on my computer (K6-2 AMD 300mHz), and no this product does not work on a TV, it is for your computer. If you can't get this drive to work on your computer its probably because its an Intel processor, buy AMD =).

The drive will not work in a 233mmx without a driver. I could not get it to work in a Celron 266. I thought it would work with my TV.
