Amazon.com Product Description

An ideal centerpiece for your home theater system, Kenwood's VR-906-S supports the most popular surround formats while delivering 100 watts of power to your left and right front, left and right rear, center, and back surround speakers (the sixth channel can also power a passive subwoofer if you don't own a back surround speaker). Internally, the receiver is equipped with a 24-bit/96 kHz audio digital-to-analog converter that ensures rich, dynamic sound whether you're watching the latest Hollywood blockbuster or listening to your favorite tunes. The audio experience is enhanced by the five DSP modes--arena, theater, jazz club, stadium, and disco--that simulate the acoustics of the most common live venues. Users who own a number of analog components will appreciate the Source Direct Listening mode, which bypasses all the digital processing and tone controls to yield the purest possible analog sound.

As with the best surround receivers, the VR-906-S offers decoding for a variety of surround formats, including Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx. The first three play 5.1- and 6.1-channel soundtracks from the latest DVDs, while Pro Logic IIx converts two-channel audio sources such as CDs and VHS tapes into full multichannel splendor to create a surround-like effect. The receiver also boasts an active equalizer function that adapts to the type of speakers you own (full-range, satellite, etc.) and the type of program you're listening to (movies, music, or TV). The resulting audio can meet all types of expectations, whether you like your audio tight and crisp or full of booming echoes.

Additional audio functions include full digital bass management (sends the deep bass only to the speakers equipped to handle it); automatic signal detection and selection for both analog and digital sources (instinctively switches between CD player, DVD player, or satellite receiver depending on which unit is playing); individual bass and treble controls; and a Midnight Theater mode, which softens loud passages of movies so that people in other rooms won't be disturbed. And, of course, the receiver includes a quartz PLL-synthesized AM/FM tuner with 40 station presets.

Adding to the VR-906-S's value is its ability to serve as an A/V component switcher (it's HD-compatible), which is ideal for TVs with a limited number of inputs. For the ultimate in flexibility, the VR-906-S also offers two component video inputs for such items as DVD players and HD receivers and three composite video inputs for VCRs, video game systems, and other products. It also comes with one component and two composite video outputs, including a monitor recording output. The receiver is stacked from an audio perspective as well, with two coaxial and one optical digital audio inputs, six stereo analog RCA inputs and two outputs, subwoofer and left/right back surround preouts, and a headphone jack for private listening. The VR-906-S, which measures 17.31 by 5.62 by 11.94 inches (W x H x D), comes with a universal learning remote control and is covered by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

Product Description

Move into the digital age! Enjoy spectacular picture quality and sound and the versatility of digital recording with this RCA Digital Camcorder. The large, high-resolution 3" ColorView Screen provides for TV-like viewing while recording or during playback - perfect for reviewing what you have recorded! No need to worry about missing a special moment while you are fumbling for your camera. The RCA Digital Camcorder can record a still image at the flip of a switch. The ultimate in convenience all wrapped up in one digital camcorder!

Amazon.com Product Description

RCA's CC9373 makes it easy to capture precious family moments. The camcorder features a 10x optical (400x digital) zoom lens and includes image stabilization for steady shooting. Footage is captured by a 680,000 pixel CCD sensor and recorded at 520 lines of resolution--the MiniDV standard. The camera comes with a 3-inch LCD for framing your shots, or, for a more traditional shooting posture and longer battery life, you can choose to use the electronic viewfinder (EVF). The camcorder also doubles as a digital still camera, letting you capture snapshots and store them on the included 16 MB MultiMediaCard.

In addition to the usual connections for hooking your camcorder up to your television, the CC9373 comes with both USB and IEEE 1394 ports. The IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port is used to transfer video to a computer for editing, while the USB connection facilitates the transfer of still images. Most Macs now include an IEEE 1394 port, but if you're a PC user, you'll probably need to add an IEEE 1394 port to your computer.

The camera also features a built-in spotlight for improved color in low-light situations. The package includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, plus a USB cable and software for manipulating still photos. The unit is compatible with RCA universal remotes.

connect to computor.......2002-07-17

had windows 98 couldn't download driver finally bought a new tower came with windows xp now I find out that they don't have a driver for the xp also have a digital camera csd 4100 same problem what to do?

Not bad, for the low blowout price.......2002-06-29

For Amazon's blow out price, you can't touch a Mini-DV recorder, let alone get one with a 3" LCD display. However, some clarification is required to Amazon's page. The camcorder does NOT have a color electronic viewfinder (EVF) as stated in the description. Amazon has been notified of the error.
Compared to my 8 year old VHS-C camcorder, the picture quality is like comparing DVD to VHS tape recordings. Images from the Mini-DV system are much cleaner. Then there is the size; nice, small and lightweight.
One final note, you'll find this camcorder bares a very strong resemblance to the JVC models (GR-DVL815), wonder why?

I loved it.......2002-04-13

I bought this camcorder back in November of 2001. I used it until March, when it got stolen. I really enjoyed owning this camera. It's light, easy to maneuver, and the menus are easy to navigate. However, it did not take very good shots in bright light. It comes with all the cables and software necessary to hook on to the computer and to the TV. RCA discontinued this model, but if you come across it, buy it-I recommend this camcorder to anyone.

Disappointed.......2002-02-10

...The camcorder took a good video and the still pix. were good in good lighting conditions, but I was disappointed with the pix. quality in lower light settings. Also, be very careful loading the cassette. I was loading the mini-DV cassette and loaded it the wrong way,(wrong side facing out) the tape jammed in the camera, called RCA & they gave me a local repair shop to take it for tape removal. I had to pay...for them to even look at it, took them 2 weeks to get back with me that the inner workings were damaged and would cost me [more] to repair. Of course it wasn't covered by the warranty...

okay camcorder with consolidated features.......2002-01-08

I bought this camera from the HSN.com for... with an upgraded 16MB removable memory. The picture quality of the video is better than a VHS-C camcorder but not better than the ANY Sony 8mm camcorder. Don't let the 400X digital zoom open your eyes. A Sony with 320X digital zoom doesnt break-up compared to the RCA w/ 400x. The still feature of the RCA is only good for close ups with good lighting. It is 480x640. This is one of the lowest resolution settings on cheap digital cameras. I believe that this is equivalent to 0.3 megapixels. For the price it is okay. But for... you are better buying a Sony 8mm camcorder at Walmart for... and then the 2.1 megapixel Sony digital camera for the same price. Unless you want an easy 1 step camera, the RCA 9373 may be you answer.

Works out of the box.......2004-12-20

I purchased this device a few months ago and it is still functioning. Plug it into a Windows XP machine and it just works. I tried firewire, USB 1.0 and USB 2.0. Plug it into Linux (I've tried Knoppix and Fedora Core 3) and it will just work.

My only compliant is that it isn't a quiet drive. But if you can deal with a little bit of churning for the formated 186 GB of storage, it is a good deal.

Please note that I am unable to recommend the included software, as I have no need to install it.

SCSI Terminal Server 1008 for Nt Or Unix

ProductGroup: CE
Binding: Electronics

Modem Accessories | Modems | Computer Add-Ons | Computers & Add-Ons | Categories | Electronics
Product Features:

NT OR UNIX

ASIN: B000067TE6

Product Description

The SCSI Terminal Server provides from 2 to 32 local serial ports that require no complex network overhead. The ports, which are simple to install and configure, attach externally to the SCSI bus of a Unix or Windows NT system. The RS-232 ports can be used for connecting devices such as terminals, modems, and printers. All SCSI Terminal Servers work with Unix systems from Sun, Hewlett-Packard, DEC/Compaq, and Silicon Graphics, as well as with systems running.The SCSI Terminal Server attaches externally via the standard SCSI system bus, a single card slot. A SCSI-1 switch and two SCSI-2 connectors are located on the back of each unit. The unit can thus be easily daisy-chained to other SCSI Terminal Servers and a wide variety of SCSI peripherals. Unlike conventional terminal servers that must use Telnet and Rlogin to create pseudo-ports, the SCSI Terminal Server provides real serial ports that appear as local TTYs under Unix and as native COM ports under Windows NT. This makes the SCSI Terminal Server simple to install and configure, without the problems of complex network protocols. The simple instruction guide and automated procedures save you valuable time. The SCSI Terminal Server supports speeds up to 115 or 230 Kbps. The intelligent design allows this performance to be achieved efficiently, with minimal impact on the SCSI bus even during peak loads. A simple packetizing protocol allows multiple lines to be serviced with each SCSI transaction, minimizing bus-loading and decreasing CPU overhead. Operating system drivers for Unix and Windows NT are provided at no extra charge with each unit. They are available on CD-ROM or may be downloaded from the Digi Web site. The drivers install automatically and provide several useful utility programs.

Granted, this product records well, but everything seems to take forever. I stand around waiting for startup, I stand around even longer for Open/Close (that's what really gets to me). And now, after 8 months, every other disc I play makes a tremendous noise, as though it is off balance.

Don't do it! Shop around.

Review after Extended Use.......2007-02-28

I have been using this router for at least a couple of years and thought I would review it from a long term perspective.

First, my primary computer is a Macintosh. I use this to configure the router and connect wirelessly. The configuration is entirely web based so I don't have any problems using the Mac. I have used Windows and it works fine too. I also have a PC, Xbox360, and Tivo connected to the router. They all work well.

The good: My experience with SMC in general says that it is the most reliable of the routers. I have left these things running upwards of a year at a time without resetting. They never seem to drop connections. They are browser configurable so you can use any computer you wish (Mac/PC/Unix). Some of my SMC stuff is about 10 years old and still works great.

The Bad: Tech support is weak even if you can find someone whose english isn't so bad you can understand them. Often times new hardware requires a flash upgrade to get rid of some nasty bugs. Both of these issues appear to be the industry norm, though. Also, not all forms of wireless encryption offered by the SMC are (or were) supported for the Mac and SMC tech support doesn't know that. Use 128bit WEP password or struggle.

I gave it 4 stars because every SMC including my 2804 works. It works well. It works reliably without occasional reboot and it is Mac friendly. The tech support issues need resolution despite the fact that it is industry norm these days to offshore to a country with people you cannot understand. I think I'm rating it more harshly than others would but my explanation should make it clear whether or not this item is right for you. I want reliability. SMC provides that better than anyone else I have used.

great router.......2007-01-16

This router has performed flawlesley sice I configured it. UPNP seems to work well but have only had two xboxs on at once. Soon I will put it to the real test when I hook up cable internet and host an xbox LAN. Great router.

excellent smc product.......2005-08-24

This is an excellent router, SMC makes the best products!! However... if you are a begginer i would not suggest this router, you actually have to have an idea of what you are doing to work this router. So if you have a clue, then i suggest this router!

This is the second SMC router, both are bad.......2005-06-08

I bought the SMC2804 2 months ago to replace my previous SMC7004. Both had problems--I was hesistant to buy this one but the rebate looked very good. I should have not taken the rebate. After 2 months of initially running smoothly, this morning the connection is now lost. I can connect to the internet just fine on just the DSL modem, but not to the SMC router. After 2 hours talking to tech support (which is not always very helpful--hard to understand what some are saying and they just tell you how to reset/restart or turn off and on the modem and router), they finally gave up and issued me a tech authorization/RMA number for replacement. This is what happened to the last SMC7004...I'm not having high hopes for this one.

Another Great Product from SMC.......2005-05-31

I have used SMC routers for several years now, from wired to wireless. The 2804WBR was purchased to replace a 7004AWBR 802.11b router and bring the wireless part of the network up to 802.11g. Until all the wireless cards on the network are upgraded to 802.11g, the router is running in mixed B&G mode with 128-bit WEP. The signal strength is good, and the router works well with a lot of off-brand B&G wireless cards. This router is not the easiest to configure, due to its many features and options, however if you know about networking you will be fine. I can't vouch for the EZ-Setup utility. I have never used those quicky setup utilities with any brand of router and always configure routers manually. The Port forwarding, DMZ, and MAC filtering features are fairly intuitive and work very well. I am shocked at the number of negative reviews for this router. I have emailed SMC's tech support many times with questions and have always received a timely satisfactory reply. I have worked with several of these personal cable/DSL routers such as D-Link, Linksys, Netgear, Airlink, SOHO, Belkin, and Siemans. I have always made my personal choice SMC. They are not the cheapest nor the easiest to setup, but they are rock-solid dependable and have a robust offering of features not seen in most off-the-shelf retail personal routers. The 2804WBR is no exception. After spending 30 minutes entering in the configuration settings (including the security settings), I slipped it in place of the 7004AWBR without a single hiccup on the LAN, WAN, or wireless parts of the network. Wish they all worked this good!
