Product Description
The GoVideo Networked DVD Player is a high end, slim-line Progressive Scan DVD player, and is the first player of its kind to be able to stream video files through a wireless network to a consumer electronics component. The Networked DVD Player works with either a wired PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter (included) or an optional PCMCIA 802.11b Wireless Network Card. The D2730 can also stream MP3 and WMA audio files and JPEG image files, as well as MPEG1 and MPEG2 video files.
Amazon.com Product Description
Early Adopters Pick: July 2003. This is the world's first consumer electronics component featuring advanced DVD functionality that enables users to stream audio, images, and video from the PC to the TV at the touch of a button on the remote control.
Finally, there's a home-entertainment device that integrates PC entertainment with traditional audio/video sources. GoVideo's slim and stylish D2730 is not only compatible with a wide range of physical media, but it comes with a rear-panel PCMCIA slot for either wired or wireless networking with a desktop or laptop PC--it even comes with wired networking card. Now you can easily stream audio, images, and video files from the PC through to the TV at the touch of a button. The unit streams JPEG images, MP3 and WMA audio formats, and MPEG1 and MPEG2 video formats. Compatible physical media includes DVD-R/DVD-RW, video CD, Kodak Picture CD, and MP3 and WMA CDs.
The D2730 comes equipped with a network card for wired home networks, allowing instant out-of-the-box set-up and use. Just open the box, install the D2730's server software, hook it up to the TV and an Ethernet-capable PC or networked PCs, and start enjoying its innovative capabilities. If your home isn't networked yet, the unit still operates as a full-function DVD player. And the player operates wirelessly, too, using an optional wireless 802.11b (16-bit) network card.
An intuitive graphical user interface simplifies operation, ideal for novice and technically proficient users of both DVD players and computers. User-upgradeable onscreen "skins" give operation a personalized look and feel, and the unit's upgradeable firmware ensures that you'll be ready for future DVD formats, too. A headphone output with a dedicated volume control facilitates private listening--perfect for tuning into Internet radio in the living room while the rest of the family reads or sleeps.
Top-of-the-line component-video outputs (switchable between progressive-scan and interlaced) help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the D2730 stands ready to deliver the full potential of 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.
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--in case your existing receiver is merely "Dolby Digital ready" (with multichannel RCA analog inputs), the D2730 decodes Dolby Digital 5.1 to six discrete analog signals (left, center, right, left/right surround, and subwoofer).
What's in the Box
DVD player, full-function remote control, 2 AAA batteries, wired Ethernet adapter (PCMCIA), installation CD-ROM (PC system software), onscreen user interface skin, stereo analog/composite-video interconnect (3 feet), user's manual, warranty information.

I've given up..don't buy this unit! 3 out of 3 were bad.......2004-12-06
First of all, I'm a computer/media geek, so I'm not new to making things work. Frankly, the Go Video D2730 is of extremely poor quality. Of the three (new) units I received from Go Video (based on my returns), none of them could successfully play a DVD. They all experienced various issues from the DVD "locking up" while playing, to not even recognizing the DVD, to constant spinning of the DVD drive. My last unit came the closest to working..it actually worked up until I flashed it w/the v3.0 client software (yes, it did successfully flash..check sum was verified). After that, every DVD played would eventually lock up. The entire player would freeze, forcing me to power off the unit.
So besides not being able to play DVDs, the actual networking features did work, albeit the interface is clunky. Having well over 7 thousand photos and 10 thousands sounds, finding a song via the UI was painful w/o having to go hog wild and create mutliple playlists (there is no searching via title).
So if you're thinking about buying this unit..don't. I'm into it 3 new units, ~10hrs of configuring/setup and I've given up. I'm going to build out an XP Media Center PC and be done with it.
Wow... all I can say is wow..........2004-10-14
After reading all of the reviews for this product I was a little trepid about buying it. I decided that the bulk of the problems users have is due to lack of computer experience. To test this theory I tried to examine the product thoroughly before coming to any conclusion.
I wanted to test the product out of the box and then upgrade to the latest software versions and test it again... here is what I found...
Out of the box the product set itself up very well. It found the network and the server (my PC). It could play most of the files that I tried but had trouble with a few. The main interface was a little cumbersome and the program had an overall buggy and unintuitive feel. I would have rated the product a three at this point. In fact I would have agreed with most of the negative reviews written here.
Now... here is where the fun started.
Upgrading the product was soooooo easy that my pet monkey (If I had one) could have pulled it off flawlessly. It was as easy as going to Govideo's site and downloading two files. One of the files is an ISO image (burnable to cd) and one is a zip file containing the new software for your server (PC).
Once I downloaded the ISO it burned to a cd in about 38 seconds (at 48x). I placed the cd into the DVD drive and it immediately came up with a menu prompting me to confirm that I would like to upgrade. It finished upgrading in about a minute and prompted me to restart the system.
The upgrade for my PC was rather large (68MB or so). This took me about 15 minutes to download. I recommend downloading it in advance if you buy this product, especially if you have a slow connection. Though the file is large it is critical that you download it. Setting it up was as easy as clicking next, next, next and finish.
The software is very, very easy to use. On the PC you simply click the folders you would like to share and click scan. The program will find all of the Video, audio and image files in these folders. You can set it up to scan on a timer as well. I have a large collection of MP3's and all-in-all it took about 10 minutes to scan my entire collection. Once you finish scanning the PC can be left alone (especially if you set a timed scan). One final thing on the software is the ability to create play lists. Very easy to do and minimal on time. Software is perfect for the device.
Overall setup was easy even for basic computer users. The updates come in ISO's that are ready to be burned to cd instantly. all you have to do is pop the new CD in and hit enter... Setup (minus downloading) took less than 15 minutes. That included the time it took to figure out how to share files without the manual. If you do not install the updates this product will not function properly, period.
The DVD player is very, very easy to use. It separates your video files into categories for easy searching. It is basically the same thing as the file system in your shared folder with a different skin. Very easy to search, organize and play all of your files. I was extremely satisfied with the diversity of files played. In fact I have files on my PC that I have been unable to find a good codec for that play flawlessly on this DVD player. I cannot say enough about the simplicity and quality of this player. The diversity of files played is shocking and flawless.
One thing that you need to make sure of is this... the player only takes certain wireless cards. If you open the product manual (above) on page 13 you will find a list of acceptable cards. It is probably best to order the card at the same time as the player... otherwise you may end up with a fancy DVD only player for a while... I was under the impression that it had built in wireless. It does however come with a Ethernet PC card that works great.
For a first Generation product that is breaking new ground you cannot beat this player. I cannot see myself replacing it until the format of media on the internet changes. If you cant afford to build a PC for the media room... or simply want something perfectly capable of filling that role you cannot go wrong with this product. It has my stamp of approval!
For people who built their home-networking by themselves ..........2004-07-13
... this is certainly a great product and at a very good price. I bought this for $130 in Feb 2004. I needed a new DVD player that can do progressive scan but finally got this with more features for little more money.
Setup is not straight-forward as mentioned in previous reviews, but learning to manage the setup issues is not necessarily a bad experience.
I'm giving 4 stars because the D2730 didn't support the wireless card (Belkin) that the manual specifies as being supported. But I got it to work with netgear wireless card (recommended by the customer support).
Finally, for me this is not a high-tech junk. (For some reason, the picture quality seems better when I view from the PC (using D2730 client-server setup) rather than burning the pictures in CD and viewing the CD from any DVD player, including D2730)).
One star for non-geeks; 4 stars for geeks........2004-06-18
I bought this the minute I saw it, thinking $110 was not much to lose. It took me over a week to get it fully working, but even so, I'm giving it 4 stars (if you're a computer geek). One star if you don't know what a router is (too hard for non geeks to get working).
While I have read about the many problems people have had with the wireless adapters, I am using this in wired mode.
The unit has two pieces of software:
1) The Client software is what is programmed into the unit itself. It is burned onto a flash memory inside the box. GoVideo has released three versions (mine came with version 1). You can upgrade or downgrade the Client by creating a CD-ROM (the online tech support walks you through it - very simple).
2) The Server software is what you put on your computer. It is the interface that locates and marks all of your video/MP3 files to be shared on the player. The Server itself is not a media player. There are two versions of Server.
So, the first thing I recommend is that you go to the website (even before your unit arrives) and make a V2 and V3 CD-ROM. I don't think V1 is even available over the net anymore, nor does it come on a CD-ROM when you get the device, so once you upgrade to V2, you can NOT downgrade to V1 again. This shouldn't be a problem, since V1 is really quite bad.
Even with a wired connection, I had A LOT of trouble getting the player to connect to my PC when Client V1 was installed. I had to force a fixed IP address, because the unit just couldn't figure out mine.
WORD OF WARNING: For some reason, GoVideo requires you to initially connect this device to a TV via a Coax cable. If you initially connect it to a S-Video or component video, the screen will simply not work. The menu is technically still there, but you can't see to navigate it. You need to connect via Coax to select the output mode you want. Of course, once you do, the screen goes blank until you connect to the TV differently. This operation alone demonstrates why the average person will hate this product. BTW - once you upgrade to V2, there is a button on the remote that cycles through the different output selects. Infinitely better, but hardly intuitive.
Once you have Client V3 and Server V2 installed, the box should be able to easily connect to the network.
Mine auto-connected at this point, but , the problems began here...
I have a Router between me and the Internet, and a hub connected to that. My PCs and the DVD Player were all connected to the Hub.
In this configuration, my videos were ALL playing very poorly (pixelated, no sound sync, skipping). I called tech support at least 6 times. They have very flexible hours, and each person I spoke to was different (but all in the USA). Unfortunately, no one was able to even come close to diagnosing my problem.
They were more than willing to send me a new unit, but I had a feeling it was something in my network itself. Well, someone at my work got the problem right away. It was my Hub. Even though it was a 10/100 hub, it was operating at half-duplex, so all of my media was getting killed.
The instant I removed the hub from my system, and replaced it with a switch, my video worked GREAT. BTW, this explains why you can't even BUY a hub at Best Buy these days. Switches are all full duplex, and cost under $10 per port.
So, if you're looking to buy one of these, here is what I learned:
1) Upgrade to the latest Client and Server
2) If you change the Server version, or the method the player uses to connect (auto IP, fixed IP, etc), cycle power on your PC and the DVD player.
3) DON'T connect to a hub - use a switch
4) If you're still having problems, Google on "D2730 forum" and you'll get much more useful information than tech support has.
Takes some work to get configured, but is well worth it.......2004-06-07
I initally tried to get it to work with my wireless lan (802.11b). Everything played, but the video was a little "blocky". I didn't have the funds to buy a new 802.11g router, so instead I hardwired the dvd player on a 100 mbit network. Everything now plays flawlessly, including mpeg1, mpeg2, and mpeg4/divx.
Its able to play Shoutcast radio streams using software called "twonkyvision" (search for it on google). That was a big plus for me.
As for the dvd functions, its a great dvd player for the price. Its got progressive scan and all of the outputs you would need.
Oh yeah, someone else mentioned this, but make sure you update the firmware on both the client and server or else things won't work right. That firmware can be downloaded from govideo's website.
I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Not the One to Buy. Below Average Hardware. Look Elsewhere........2004-06-02
Pacific Digital is simply not the company to purchase a CDRW from. It's as simple as that. Whatever speed you want, whether internal or external, please look elsewhere.
As should be obvious by other reviewers and a simple web search, they don't honor their rebates. Don't be roped in by saving a few bucks!
Their support is non-existant. Luckily I am an advanced user and I can configure things without manuals. For those who don't consider themselves an "advanced user," be prepared to be frustrated!
Warranties are meaningless. These units are only good for occasional use. If you burn a lot, your unit WILL break. It's not a question of 'if,' it's a question of 'when.' The internal hardware mechanics are simply cheaply put together.
That said, when the unit works, it's not terrible. Although one still does recieve some bad burns, even with buffer underun protection.
Nero is nero, no matter what the drive. I think the software is comparably as good as Roxio. However other than the disk copy utility, the CD compilation and custom burning software is not as good. You might want some documentation on what kind of disk format to make your custom burns in. Good luck finding it. This drive doesn't come with it.
Save yourself some grief and invest in another drive.
Great Product but POOR Company.......2003-08-05
I have been satified with the product, but they would not process my rebate because I supplied a PO BOX & physical address. I understand they have to make money to remain a business entity, but please...do not make offers you do not plan to stand behind!
Documentation Issues.......2002-10-13
First of all, Not clear to me how I access other Buyer's reviews of this product?? Or any Product b/f I buy it??
The Hardware itself appears to work OK. I'm upset that NO paper Manual included on how to use the Software! I need to use 2 computers: one to read CD-Manual & other to attempt to get Software to work! W/o the "Wizard" feature, I would NOT been able do a simple CD-Copy Burn. Although specific Sections of Manual written fairly well, it is not organized well for the Novice (ie. me)! Specific Basic steps appear to be missing in some explanations! I can see me spending hours trying to figure out the manual's instructions & waste many incorrectly-burned CDs! If there is a feature to "Preview" what is to be Burned, I have not found/seen it yet! I have not had time yet to see if PD's support will be helpful.

Nikko 230 Stereo Power Amp, Vintage and still KING!!!.......2007-01-14
It is said "They don't build them like they used too" and for the Nikko stereo products that saying could not be more closer to the truth. I picked up a Nikko 230 Amp (240 watts per channel) back in 1993 from a friend who was in some financial trouble. He was nearly in tears when I was loading it into my car and I quickly realized why. This is a VERY powerful amp, don't bother messing around with wimpy 100-120-150 watt speakers with this amplifier. The Nikko 230 will toast them past 55%-60% volume, believe me I've learned the hard way! (Blown many speakers with this amp!)
I've enjoyed YEARS of flawless entertainment with this amp and it STILL delivers incredible power. I'm currently using a double set of Cerwin Vega RE-30 speakers which are PERFECTLY suitable for this amp. At "party" volume levels BEWARE, the bass (depending on your speakers) can SHAKE your house, no joke! If your in an apartment, forget it, the police are gonna be a knockin', even a nearby house on the block might trigger a complaint. I've heard many amps, Onkyo, Sony, JVC, Akia, Harmon Kardon and on and on....Nikko is king in my humble opinion. If this amp does eventually die on me, I'll just head to ebay or scour the Earth in
search of a NIKKO replacement. Yes, it's that good!

The set produces a horizontal resolution of 600 lines (maximum)--great for appreciating the high-quality component-video outputs from DVD players, gaming consoles, personal video recorders, and satellite receivers--and its two-line comb filter removes blurred edges between colors and reduces dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped t-shirt).
Through channel labeling, you can assign an ID of one to four characters (such as KIRO or WNET) to up to 30 different channels. This feature comes in handy when cable systems assign different channel numbers to familiar network stations. The set gives you stereo audio (with 1.5 watts per channel) from broadcast programming via Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals.
The tri-format AV inputs include component-, composite-, and S-video (one of which will accommodate any DVD player), and a standard RF coaxial-type input works with older VCRs and cable boxes. You can choose between two sets of rear AV inputs and a set of front AV inputs for extra convenience, as when hooking up a camcorder or gaming console. The set also features closed-caption display, V-Chip and GameGuard parental controls, and an auto on timer.

Panasonic CT-27L8S.......2004-07-02
I purchased this TV because of the great picture. The color and sound are excellent. I would recommend this TV.
Was NOT what I expected.......2004-01-15
My primary reason for ordering this tv online (from Amazon.com) was because I was having difficulty shopping for a new tv that WASN'T silver. I thought I'd found a dark-colored one here (check out the picture or more important, the technical details listed.) So needless to say I was disappointed when this order was delivered and the tv was NOT as pictured or described, it was silver. My real disappointment came when I contacted Amazon about the mistake and received a standard reply that no tvs can be returned for any reason. (I was aware of their policy but thought they would try a little harder to correct an error on their part.) This is the worst case of customer service I have ever encountered and will not shop from Amazon again.
Good value, great picture.......2004-01-01
Easy setup for cable. A fine basic television. Very heavy so have two people available for unpacking and set placement. Panasonic is a class act so batteries are included for the remote.
Great picture!.......2003-09-13
I've had mine for a few weeks. The picture is fantastic. The menu is nice and simple, but a little odd in how you change settings. So far I couldn't be much more satisfied.
