HarmonTec DV-105 dvd player.......2007-12-15
Don't waste your money on this player. The remote worked only 1 time.
There's no support from the company. Buyer beware!
Cheap player, Cheap Everything.......2007-08-26
Picked up this player from an upper midwest home improvement store for $20 - 15% = $17 total cost. That's honestly as much as it's worth and may be pushing it. This unit is good only for a child, not for serious video use.
The good:
It's small. Very small. Smallest I've ever owned.
Has Composite, S-Video, Component video outs, Analog L/R and Digital Coax audio outs.
Includes a YWR video cable and remote and instruction book
Has some controls on the front of the unit.
Allows you to select the type of aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9)
The bad and ugly:
It churned and churned reading DVD-R discs that were burned on various media codes (brands). One it wouldn't read at all ("ERROR"), the others would eventually start playing but would be very jumpy/pause often/large block pixelated.
For DVD+R discs (where the book type wasn't set to DVD-ROM, just left at +R) it took a while to read them with some clicking of the loader, but loaded a bit faster than a DVD-R. They played without pixelation issues. Didn't play them through the entire disc however.
The MP3 player worked well playing various bit rate files without problem. However, the menu would only allow you to see 18 files in a single folder! Once it played the 18th, it would go back and play the first! There was no way to see the other files or get to them. Absolutely useless if you have discs with 150-200 files at the root in MP3 format.
Output quality, even on component was not as good as other players. Solid color images (from a SVCD plasma burn in disc) ended up having some light vertical gradient lines in them when fed to a plasma TV, where a cheap Curtis player produced a perfectly clean image. The output scaler obviously is poor in this unit.
Even with component out and progressive scan turned on (and you have to turn off the unit after you switch these to make them take effect), there was still an interlace jumping between the image and the black border on the plasma TV, where another cheap player I tried it was rock solid. Therefore I don't believe the progressive output was actually enabled or there some other issue with it.
As with most cheap players, the remote is cheap, with poor layout of the buttons and extremely cramped. The Play/Pause and stop button are on the TOP of the remote, sandwiched between the Power and Eject button. While I can see why they did this, it does not make for intuitive use when they're not along the other transport buttons on the bottom of the remote.
The included batteries for the remote are the cheapest I've ever seen. They already had dents in them, and you could easily 'mold' the batteries with your fingers, much like a stick of bubble gum.
This unit appears to be basically made by the same manufacturer as the Curtis DVD1044 or very similar to the Cyberhome CH-DVD300S, based upon identical front panel layout. Who knows if the others have better or worse quality/functionality.

The Panasonic KX-TH111S cordless phone system utilizes 5.8 GHz Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, meaning that it operates on a different wavelength with much less traffic than the 2.4 GHz technology while maintaining the great security, incredible clarity and long range. Have a wireless computer network, or thinking about getting one? 5.8 GHz technology will not interfere with wireless networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g WiFi. The system expands to accommodate a total of eight cordless handsets. It can also make use of cellular convergence technology, coordinating with up to five Bluetooth-compatible cell phones so you can share cellular system features with your land line.
Always Know Who's Calling
The KX-TH111S is call waiting caller ID compatible (requires a subscription) and requires no batteries to operate. A three-line LCD screen on the base and four-line LCD on the handset provide access to the name and number of the person calling, along with the date and time of their call. You can scroll through the list of the 20 most recent calls, and redial any of them with the touch of a button.
Hands-free Operation
A headset jack is located on the handset, and can accommodate a standard 2.5 mm headset (available separately); a speakerphone is also located on the base, supplying you with hands-free operation. A redial button lets you quickly dial the last outgoing number, while the flash button provides access to call waiting. Handset and ringer volume controls allow you to adjust levels to your liking.

Base, cordless handset, AC adapter, handset battery, belt clip, battery cover, telephone line cord, printed user's guide, warranty card
Customer Reviews:
Blue Tooth does not work: do not buy.......2007-12-09
This is a worthless "Cell Phone" product. It does not work with MOST cell phones. Good thing Amazon will take this back.
Bluetooth Problems.......2007-12-07
I purchased this cordless telephone to work with my Sprint Pocket PC Cell Phone, also known as the PPC-6700. The bluetooth connection located the cell phone and established the proper connection.
Every call placed and received from the cordless KX-TH11S worked as expected but the volume was very low and weak. This was a problem for both the caller and the person called. After a dozen or more calls, I determined this low volume unacceptable and returned the unit.
Still looking for a solution to merge my bluetooth cell phone to a cordless telephone, I purchased the at&t EP5632 to see how it would perform. The at&t cordless telephone worked great with the cell phone calls, both incoming and outgoing. All volume levels are good. Problem solved.
Very bad experience.......2007-11-22
When I ordered the product, I misunderstood that it was a single line telephone rather than a two line telephone. I returned the product and ordered the two line telephone from Amazon. Over one month later, and after repeated promises, e-mail and telephone confirmations to provide a credit for the returned telephone, Amazon has still not credited my account. Make sure that before you order it is exactly what you want as you may never get your money back.
Works great, no complaints using Blackberry Pearl 8100.......2007-11-01
Although this device is not advertised as being compatible with any RIM phones I decided to give it a try. Does not auto-link to cellphone, you must press a button on the base to link when you enter the room/house. Stays connected throughout my entire house, I physically have to go outside to break the bluetooth link.
Just make sure you buy this from Amazon as the seller, so if it doesn't work with your particular cell phone you can return it, no regrets.
Slight annoyances: like every Panasonic cordless I've ever had the "missed calls" display is annoying; once in 15 times it takes two hits of the connect button to connect to my cellular phone; handset and base have dissimilar speed dial lists. This is great for multi-handset setups but slightly annoying on the main handset.
I really like being able to silence the ringer (when ringing) by just hitting the "off" button and being able to have separate ringers (or "off") on base and/or handset for both landline and cellular.
No addressboook push via BT to the Pearl, CID info does pass thru though (very nice).
Slight tangent:
I noticed my first ever BT traffic collisions when I set this phone up on the same desk as my laptop. . .I really have to have a lot of these cooking, but something to think about if you run into problems with any of your BT devices. All these have to be on for me to notice any funkiness (usually first manifests itself as BT mouse herky-jerkiness): BT mouse, laptop BT radio, KX-TH111 base, KX-TH111 handset, RIM Pearl BT radio, Jabra BT headset. Thats a lot of junk and most of it is redundant, I've learned to turn off as many of the BT radios as possible (and also disable unneeded cellphones lying around) so you dont get that annoying interference in telephones and speakers. Or turn the discovery mode off, this well help a lot too.
A TOTAL ERROR AND COMPLETELY USELESS RE CELL PHONES.......2007-10-26
AFTER too much time expired, I found out that my cell phone -- and MOST cell phones and blue tooth devices -- will NOT be compatible with the bluetooth reception of this phone.
So, for me, it works as a regular phone, but NOT as a "LINK TO CELL" device.
The other NEGATIVE reviews on this product are accurate in this vein, and you win some and you lose some in life.
On this purchase, I lost.
