1 out of 5 stars Doesn't work as advertised.......2007-12-18

My first test run of this item was copying an old VHS movie (out-of-print and unavailable on DVD) to DVD. I went through the process twice. Both times everything seemed to go well as far as there being no error messages displayed during the process, and everything going according to instructions. But both DVDs were blank or unreadable afterward (I tried on several DVD players, and on computers). It's going back.

3 out of 5 stars 525 Playback issues.......2007-12-11

I have mixed feelings after having purchased this DVD Combo this summer. Some DVDs play flawlessly, but others skip so badly they aren't viewable. Also, sometimes it's impossible to shut off subtitles. Even when going through the DVD menu, the subtitles will still play. You must click options on the player remote and shut it off that way. Several cases...the movie Spygame with Redford and Pitt. Skips and jumps through the hole flick, subtitles cannot be shut off at all. You can actually hear the DVD player head or something internal buzzing trying to do error correction. Transformers..first viewing was flawless. Now it skips towards the end of the movie. Last night wathced Talladega Nights, first 3/4 movie was fine. Got to last 30 minutes or so and and it started skipping. May wind up sending it in for repair. Spygame played flawlessly on my previous DVD only Panasonic.

4 out of 5 stars Great except for loud noise.......2007-12-10

I have been very satisfied with the playing and recording i have done with this machine. My only opjection is that when i hit the Stop after playing a dvd or vcr, a very loud noise come thru VERY ANNOYING. If i can't figure out why it is doing this, i plan to return it.

5 out of 5 stars Sony RDR-VX525 Excellent Product for Dubbing old home VHS tapes.......2007-09-21

My wife has been bugging me for the last year or so to convert all of our
VHS video tapes that I took of the kids to DVD's. Some are 20 years old
and though stored under ideal conditions could become fragile. I chose
this deck mainly because it was a Sony and I have had good luck with
their products.

I have not been disappointed. It has performed perfectly. Very easy to
use for dubbing. Once you have your DVD loaded and your VHS tape
loaded, it's push one button and it starts. It stops automatically after either
the DVD is full or the tape is empty, whatever comes first. You then
push a couple of buttons on the remote to "finalize" the disk and you are
done. On the high quality and standard modes the picture looks just like
the orginal.

This deck will also record TV shows and sourcing from video cameras.

Excellent value !

          Product Description

          The Video Separator is a signal booster and splitter that is used to take video input from a single source and direct it to two video outputs for monitors using analog signals. The signal boost obtained by using the VS92A allows you to not only split the signal but to extend the distance so that you can send the signal to about 210 feet. (Your average VGA card, combined with a standard VGA cable, can send a clear VGA signal approximately 25 feet.) This makes public broadcasts from a single computer very feasible. If you want to display the same information on many monitors at once, such as in a classroom environment, or at a demonstration, this product performs incredibly well.Bandwidth is the term that is used to describe the signal capacity of these units. In general, bandwidth is directly proportional to the amount of data transmitted per unit of time. Specifically, in analog signals, bandwidth is the difference between the highest-frequency and the lowest frequency components of a signal. For example a voice telephone signal has a bandwidth of 3000 Hz (or 3000 cycles per second), where an analog TV signal has a bandwidth of approximately 6MHz (or 6 million cycles per second) which is approximately 2000 times greater than a simple voice phone call. These units have a bandwidth of 250MHz (which is 250 million cycles per second) and that over 40 times greater than a simple TV signal. This huge bandwidth allows for the transmission of large amounts of information at a very high rate of speed, and thus you can use the very high-resolution setting of 1920 x 1440 in 24 or 32-bit true color mode.

          1 out of 5 stars Treo slips out of the case and breaks after a few months.......2007-08-22

          The case looks really good, but the clip breaks easily, and that's not the worst part, the worst part is that your Treo will fall off the case because the leather will give way. You could break a $300-400 piece of equipment for a good looking but horrible case function wise

          3 out of 5 stars Krusell treo 650 case.......2007-02-27

          I really like the case except for one problem, after a few months the phone falls out of it. The phone goes upside down and then falls out of the case because the leather has stretched. You could solve that problem by adding a strap to the case at the top. Other then that I love the case.

          1 out of 5 stars Krusell Palm Treo Cabriolet Case.......2007-01-06

          This is a horrible case. It is big and bulky. Worst of all, the phone keeps falling out (already pretty scarred from repeatedly hitting the pavement). I do not recommend buying this case. I wish someone had warned me before spending so much money for such a worthless case.

          4 out of 5 stars no real complaints.......2006-11-06

          I've had this little carrier for a couple of months now, and don't really have complaints about it. The only thing that maybe I could say negatively about it is that my Treo is kind of hard to pull out of the case once it is in...it won't just slide out easily, but of course this same quality keeps it secure and from falling out inadvertently. But I have thought that perhaps some kind of little strap to come over the top and hold it it might be better (than the rubbery, grippy stuff inside), that way, when you wanted to pull it out, you could just pop open a little snap or something and then slide it out with ease. But this is a very ticky-tack complaint...it's not like it's all that difficult to pull out...I'm just being as critical as possible for the sake of this review.

          2 out of 5 stars Great case until Treo slips out and breaks.......2006-10-25

          When I first got this case, I loved it. The Krusell clip system is the best out there. But after a few weeks, the stickyness of the inside of case wasn't sticky anymore and the phone doesn't stay in the case.
          Because the clip pivot is near the center, the phone spends a lot of time upside down because top of Treo is heavier than bottom.
          Then it slides out and hits the ground. Why Krusell didn't put any strap or something to hold the Treo in more securely, I'll never know???

          Krusell, you owe me $400 for my Treo 650 replacement!
