Amazon.com Product Description

Gateway's connected DVD player merges plug-and-play networking capabilities with the latest in home-theater technology so you can stream your music, photo, and video files from a Windows-based PC in the study right to your living-room entertainment system. The progressive-scan-capable player is fully compatible with DVD-Video, CD, VCD/SVCD, Kodak Picture CD, and recordable discs full of JPEG, MP3, or WMA (Windows Media Audio) files, so you can still enjoy its authoritative features even if you're not inclined to use the networking feature just yet.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the Gateway player stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the Gateway player stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The player's rear panel sports a single PC Card slot (also referred to as PCMCIA) for wired or wireless access to a Windows-based home network. Basic networking requirements consist of a computer with a 700 MHz or faster Pentium processor running Microsoft Windows 98 SE or higher with a network connection, 20 MB free hard-drive space, 128 MB RAM, and Gateway's specially made 802.11g DVD card, which can be used in either a wired or a wireless configuration. The 802.11g DVD card, which comes with the DVD player, uses the 54 Mbps wireless networking standard, making it nearly five times faster than the widely used wireless-B products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country.

Far more convenient but a little more complicated to configure is a wireless setup, which lets you place your hardware in separate rooms without need for lengthy cable runs. This option requires the additional purchase of a wireless networking device (a router if you'll have multiple network users or an access point for a single connection) to relay data between your PC and the DVD player's card.

Access your Windows-based home network wirelessly via the ADC-320's PC Card slot and included 802.11g DVD card.

Once you've established your network, you can put a connected DVD player in every room with a TV or stereo to connect wirelessly to your PC library. In your PC, you can then create a library of music, photo, and digital video to enjoy anywhere you have a connected DVD player and a television and/or audio system.

Front-panel menu buttons grant full operation, even without the supplied remote control. The player lets you import M3U (MusicMatch) or the PLS (WinAmp) playlists and create custom digital slideshows of PC-based JPEG images. The player also supports playback of recorded video from MPEG4 video and Microsoft Media Center computers.

If you're inclined to go in for a little karaoke entertainment, this player's got you covered: the stylish front panel also offers two .25-inch microphone inputs governed by single volume and echo-effect control.

The ADC-320's digital-audio outputs enable connection to a full-featured A/V receiver so you can experience Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1-channel surround sound.
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver, and if you're using an older surround amp with multichannel analog inputs but no onboard processing, you're in luck: Gateway's model happens to decode both Dolby Digital and surround formats, outputting multichannel analog signals as well as digital.
Top-of-the-line component-video outputs (switchable between progressive and interlaced, depending on your television) help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
What's in the Box
DVD player, 802.11g DVD card, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and an installation CD.

Gateway Strikes Again.......2005-08-20

Gateway is developing a reputation of selling "neat ideas" but quickly abandoning them. My neighbor bought a big screen TV from them and after inumerable service calls, sent it back and got a "real" TV from a "real" manufacturer.

I got this item for Xmas -- unfortunately my wife was not told she needed to get the network adapter card as a seperate item. Now that I want to get the card so I can use it for more than the world's most expensive and least functional DVD player, I find I can not. I just got off of a chat with the Gateway sales rep and he told me to try eBay. Imagine that! What kind of support is that? Good grief, they sold the item, they should support it for a few years, at LEAST.

I have 4 other Gateway computers in the house, including the laptop I'm typing this on. My neighbor has bought SIX of them, due to my suggestion that they are a good company. Now that she has had bad luck with the TV, I think she is also rethinking Gateway.

I would give this product a ZERO star rating but this software does not permit it. All in all, I will avoid Gateway in the future. I can get hardware cheaper and since the Gateway brand no longer means qualty or support, why pay the premium.

Avoid this product at all costs. It's a dead end. And, as another reviewer says, it both freezes while playing movies, and has a frequent seek problem -- if you click on "extras" or something it is likely to go into seek mode for many minutes before it stops and you have to shut it down to start over.

Altogether a really bad product and, apparently now, company.

Good player, but discontinued - beware!.......2005-01-21

This player does more or less what it says it's supposed to do, but potential buyers should be aware that this is a "rebranded" product. That is, Gateway does not manufacture it (they don't manufacture anything but PC's as far as I know). It has now been "end of life'd", so the ones on sale are just what's left in the supply chain, no more new ones are being made and Gateway does not sell this item anymore. It has been abandonded by Gateway, so there will be no more software or firmware upgrades. They also don't have any more parts for it, so if you lose your remote control (as I did), it's impossible to get a new one. I can't imagine what a nightmare it would be to get service on it if it breaks.

There are a number of drawbacks to all this, but in the end it's pretty cheap, and even if the "connected" part of it stops working at some point, it's a pretty good plain old DVD player, so if you're thinking of getting a player in the same price range, you may want to spend a few dollars more for the "connected" feature - even if something goes wrong with it, you still have a perfectly good DVD player and haven't lost much money.

But good luck trying to get ANY service or support from Gateway - they just don't want to know about it.

No longer made.......2004-11-22

I was interested in this product, but concerned that I couldn't find it on Gateway's web site. I called and asked support and was told it was "no longer being sold" on 21-Nov-04.

All DVD players should come connected.......2004-08-27

Lot of DVD players have the capability of playing MP3s, but having to burn to a CD isn't the most ideal for me since I don't want to have to burn before listening and I have such a varied taste in music. Having the ability to stream music from my PC where all of my MP3s are stored to my home stereo wirelessly made this unit almost worth it solely by itself. One is able to select albums, artists, or playlists. The on screen display is pretty basic and boring (i.e. a few colors with straight lines and square boxes).

With recent firmware upgrades you can even have a picture slideshow (also streamed and one can specify the delay rate and this can occur while playing streaming MP3s).

This unit is basically the same as the ADC-220 from gateway, except it has a newer 802.11g vs. 802.11b network card) -- this helps with the problems people experienced in the past since the bandwidth of 802.11g is about 5x as much as 802.11b (11mb vs 54mb) and 802.11g router/access points are very inexpensive nowadays.

This unit is very similar to the GoVideo D2730 since they both use Digital5 as the PC client software. Current firmware is similar to the new standard for home networking UPnP, but I wasn't able to get MusicMatch's UPnP to work as of yet.

The device supports PAL and NTSC TV formats, so taking advantage of one the of best un-documented and un-supported feature I can play DVDs from the UK (and other regions) that I couldn't on other DVD machines (SETR9). Of course this also plays videos downloaded from the internet or homemovies that are archived on your PC. UK's BBC is starting to provide arhived video that should be supported since this player supports MPEG 1/2/4 and others (Microsoft Media Center, AVI). I haven't used the microphone inputs, but this is a solid DVD performer with 5.1 surround with optical out, component video, etc.

The only negatives are you can't fast forward PC based movies (you can forward to a time, but not like a standard DVD search where the screen speeds through while you watch, of course DVDs with this player search like any other on the market), the remote isn't as sleek as it should be (it's colorful and not very ergonomic -- looks like it was made for the Asian market).

The ADC-320 is about a 1/3 less than the GoVideo one (plus Gateway's comes with the 802.11g card, I believe GoVideo's is a wired version -- they have a new D2740 which has 802.11g). The Philips Streamium looks pretty nice too and that's fully UPnP supportable, but Gateway is still half the price of that one, if not more. This is a solid deal and I am just as happy with it as I was when I bought it about 6 months ago.

Please be careful.......2004-08-26

Although it is a great concept if it worked, I and others who have bought it have spent all of our time trying to get it fixed. Replaced wireless card, changed IP addresses, and found out it needed software update and now have to send it in because it freezes movies. Since it is past 15 days it is my dime to get it fixed even though it has never worked and I have been calling since day one. Anyway, you make the call, but I think it really needs more time in development - the price you pay for being an early adopter!

GREAT MONITORS FOR THE PRICE.......2005-10-26

I bought 2 of these monitors from best buy at their grand opening and have been using them for 2months now. So far I've loved them - They look just awesome with two of them side by side and the black and silver colour scheme is sharp and sleek. the 16ms response for some people may seem slow but I have played computer games, watched movies, and ran visualizations and I have seen no signs of ghosting.

As it does say in the manual it takes a few minutes for the screen to "warm up" to optimal running conditions.

The only drawback of these monitors are that they only support a VGA connection. Perfect, High Quality product that is great for a first time dollar consious LCD buyer that is not in need of a DVI connection.

A DVI connection would have bumped my rating of the monitor from my 4 star rating to a 5

Compact Performance.......2007-08-27

I have been a long-time Polk fan - purchased (and still am using) Monitor series back in the early 80's. Recently set up a surround TV system including Polk R50's - this subwoofer compliments the setup, adding more base although the R50's alone achieve good range into some of the base. The PSW10 looks match the R50's - one of my criteria, and fits nicely in the space available - a second criteria. I am using the sub-out jack from a 70W Onkyo 7.1 receiver with a Y-splitter; depending on the TV programming & audio source, reasonably loud but very clean base response from the PSW10. Present crossover (Onkyo) is set at 100db & blends well with the R50's set at "Large" & with other smaller (Klipsch & Polk) surrounds (frequency adjustment / crossover on the PSW10 is turned all the way up). Recommend this good-looking subwoofer to fill in the added base dimension for compact installations.

and a cherry on top.......2007-05-05

In case you are not aware of it, the addition of even a low-cost subwoofer literally completes the sound. I realized this when a very aggresive Bang & Ofulson salesman, who really knew how to sell, brought a $2000 subwoofer to add to the suberb speakers he had already sold me..I wrote him a check! Well, it's the same even at this modest level. Polk has been around since dirt, so I decided to add this sub to my Sony XBR2...it's like you were never really getting the sound...If you have a home theater (or just have remote speakers for the tv) and haven't sprung for the subwoofer, this is a very inexpensive way to upgrade your whole sound.

Don't purchase it--no matter HOW inexpensive. . ........2007-04-20

I have owned this product for almost 2 years and the ONLY reason--I cannot send it back!! "Notorious P.A.T." stated that it takes 20 seconds to initialize. I WISH! Mine takes anywhere from 1 to 2 minutes!

The 3-inch CD says it is the "Driver for Windows". The only drivers I saw are for the Photobank Jukebox and MediaScan. Nothing for the unit itself.

And besides when you insert the CD, it does not start up. I always have to go into the Windows Directory to find it. That's how I found out the unit drivers are not there.

Plus, the files on the CD are for Windows 98--NO upgrades. I believe this is one of the reasons why the unit is selling so cheap.

The other reason? After doing an extensive web search I found that the company (NHJ Limited) went out of business soon after distribution.

So please! Save your money. Better yet, put a little extra with it and purchase an IPod instead--or even a Zune! Anything but this piece of junk!

P.S.: I guess this product wouldn't be so bad if the company would have at least supported software upgrades.

You get what you pay for.......2006-03-29

This price for this unit makes it quite enticing, however, as an owner of one of these, I would be cautious about purchasing for the following reasons-
-It takes about 20 seconds to initialize,
-The software is quite weak,
-There are gaps between tracks
-The random functions only within a folder, not within all of the music files- so essentially you have to listen to one album at a time or throw everything in a giant unorganized folder if you want some variety-
-Battery life is 4 hours tops, and is significantly diminished when using the backlight.

If you can spend some extra money for an ipod nano, I would definately recommend it.

The 1970s Citizen's Band craze is long over, but a new generation ofcompact, powerful radios is luring customers back to this long-rangeservice. With a handheld CB like the Midland 75-810, you can reach other CBusers up to 15 miles away and get instant access to weather and trafficinformation.

A CB radio is great on the road to alert you to accidents and backupsahead. You can also get directions and advice from fellow motorists. Better yet,highway CB-ers get to use cool lingo like, "I've got to feed the bears"(translated: pay a traffic fine to the police).

The Midland 75-810 features a powerful 4 watts of CB output, with apower-saving setting that allows you to operate on 1 watt for short-rangetransmission to save battery power.

Citizen's Band radios like the Midland 75-810 use 40 channels on the AMradio spectrum from 26.965 to 27.405 MHz. You don't need an FCC license tooperate a CB radio, but be sure to follow the basic etiquette of CB use (asoutlined in your manual) in busy areas if you want to avoid getting chewedout on air.

Midland makes tuning your CB easier with its ETR frequency control system,which delivers pinpoint channel tuning and instant access to emergencyChannel 9. The 75-810 also comes with two user-selectable memory channelsand instant access to the last busy channel received.

As a bonus to hikers or drivers, the 75-810 receives all seven NOAA weatherchannels and three Canadian weather channels. Tune in to these channels forconstant weather updates, plus bulletins for severe weather and hazardslike toxic spills, earthquakes, and fires.

View channel and battery information on the 75-810's large LCD witha 10-part meter that gives you accurate information on signal strength andpower. The built-in electronic microphone ensures crisp, clear reception.Plug the included low-profile flex antenna into the antenna jack, whichalso accommodates an optional extended-range mobile antenna. The earphonejack allows you to use an optional external microphone.

Power your Midland 75-810 CB radio with nine AA batteries (not included) oran optional 12-volt DC power adapter for use in cars, trucks, RVs, andboats. An internal jack allows you to charge ni-cad rechargeable batterieswithout removing them from the radio. The unit measures only 6.5 by 2 by2.5 inches.

Customer Reviews:

Outstanding Buy!!.......2001-04-08

An outstanding CB radio for my Jeep. For under $40, there is no reason to purchase a higher priced model for your portable needs. I would suggest a magnetic roof top mount antenna for increased reception. However, the factory antenna is adequate for 3 to 5 mile reception on level terrain. This model accepts ear buds which greatly extends battery life because you are able to monitor at much lower volume. A must for travelers.

Fabuelous.......2001-02-15

This product will go through sleet or snow. It has 15 mile range and is a great deal. I can't believe how cheap it was.

Mike Siegel

Great Performance at a fantastic price!.......2000-06-06

We ordered two of these Midland units through Amazon and LOVE them. We use them in tandem with friends on camping and road trips and have found them reliable, light, and providing great audio clarity plus weather reports. We also got rechargable batteries and a lapel mic unit (Radio Chack) which compliment the unit's versatility. Absolutely recommend it as a first-time buy or for a more seasoned user.

very happy.......2000-02-27

This is a good item for travel, or camping, or even around the house because of the weather channels. I'm thinking of buying two more for my sons cars! I even use mine at work in the construction field just for the weather channels.

Professional Quality For an unbelievable price.......2000-02-14

I bought this CB radio about two months ago. i am a CB enthusiast and have been through many radios, i must say that this handheld radio is absolutely the best bet for anyone who is going on a trip or just want to have some fun, it his high powered and unbelievable features for its price. the PTT button or (push to talk button) on it is very nice you don't need much force to push it in and it clicks so u know you are transmitting. The weather radio is nice receives very nicely and for a handheld it gets out pretty far and if you buy an external antenna, u can add at least another 2 miles to the range of this radio. I HIGHLY SUGGEST IT!
