1 out of 5 stars Not ready for prime time.......2007-11-14

You would be well-advised to avoid this product. My son-in-law and I both bought one of these at the same time and have had the same (poor) experience. The playback quality of DVDs and VCRs are both excellent - when they work. However, this thing will not read half of the discs I put in it, including discs it has made itself. When you call their customer service, they recommend that you buy a DVD cleaner. Please! Even in the best of times, it takes an inordinate time just to spin-up a disc and read it. Many times after reading it for several minutes, it will reject the disc. Sometimes if you just close the door, it will read it. This product is not ready for prime time.

1 out of 5 stars My first and last LG product.......2007-10-21

We got about 9 months out of this unit before it started having playback problems. It rapidly got worse after that, and it finally refused to accept any DVDs or CDs, regardless of whether those were recordable or not. So the whole unit suddenly became completely useless.

Since not having extended warranty I figured it was too expensive to try to get it fixed.

What I did is the following. When you open up the unit, the disc drive is in fact a standard PC IDE interfaced CD/DVD drive. So I took the old one out, and replaced it with another PC IDE CD/DVDRW drive that I had available. This is a fairly straightforward thing to do, as I believe most IDE interface units are a good enough fit.

So now the DVD player works, and I'm even able to record to recordable DVDs in a similar manner as before. The only problem left is that for some reason I'm not able to play some commercial DVDs now. I haven't quite figured out what could be causing this, and it happens only with some latest DVD discs. Now I don't remember, and it is impossible to verify, if I already had the same problem before the DVD player went bad, i.e. if it came after the disc drive swap.

DVD reader died in 6 mos. $70 labor + shipping to "fix" it.

I guess LG isn't too concerned about their brand.

1 out of 5 stars Add Me to the List.......2007-08-20

I bought one of these and was very pleased with it for about a year. Then, all of a sudden, inside a week, it stopped recognizing commercial dvds. Now it won't recognize anything. LG does not have a fix. From massive internet complaints, this is a common problem I have two LG internal DVD writers on my computers and have no problem with them. I cannnot figure out where the problem is. LG DOES NOT have firmware upgrades or anything useful on the web site. I have reached a dead end. I'm probably going to junk it. Don't waste your money.

1 out of 5 stars Audio Drops Constantly.......2007-06-30

This unit drives me crazy. rarely use the unit and waited too long to return/exchange at Best Buy. The audio drops out every few seconds. Both the digital and analog feeds are affected. On last day of warranty, LG agreed to repair or replace. Got a reconditioned replacement and it too has the same problems. I wish I would have read reviews before purchasing. This was a lot of money to pay for lousy audio. Otherwise, picture an ease of use is nice.

You can either set a destination or use the handy Find Menu to pick a destination, such as a restaurant, gas station, or other nearby attractions. With your destination selected, you'll love Quest's automatic routing with turn-by-turn directions and voice guidance to get you where you're going. And the built-in high-speed processor means fast, automatic off-route and detour recalculations, so you'll be sure to get where you're going even if you make a wrong turn or meet unexpected road construction.

    1 out of 5 stars not user friendly.......2007-11-20

    I consider myself quite capable when it comes to electronics, however I could not figure this one out at all. The dvd was not helpful and kept me on the computer downloading useless garb for about an hour, and the tutorial at the beginning of the manual couldn't be used without downloading all sorts of maps...which apparently costs money. I talked to the Garmin people and they said that this product has been updated due to complaints and misconceptions. It only has enough memory to download 3 states worth of data...so forget about taking it on a cross country trip. Also, because you have to download the maps before you go anywhere you have to know where you're going.
    I purchased this product to make my life easier, but it's quickly become the biggest hassle of my day!
    If I could do it again I'd spent the extra money up front and get a higher quality one. I have a friend with the touch screen and she swears by it. Make sure you really do your research before buying a GPS.

    By far the one of the best GPS around. Easy to use, small, and clear. Enjoy!

    This does not appear to be working correctly. My boss put in several addresses, even a couple within a block of where he was going, and it could not find the location. I would really like to return it for a credit.

    5 out of 5 stars I got what I wanted :).......2006-08-18

    I read lots of reviews and decided to go with a refurbished Quest-I just to save a buck, also, I ride motorcycles and from what I read, this one can be easily mounted on the bike or stick into my pocket too, so I ordered it on my B-Day and very pleased with it, it always put a big smile on my face when I hear "Arriving destination on right.."

    I have only had it for a little over a month now and only used it in the local state, it already saved my time/gas twice big time...I will bring it to my mini-vacation this weekend to see how it goes...

        Product Description

        Enjoy your telescope in a completely and fascinating way - use your brain to its full capacity rather than speculating on the next, larger size telescope.The Stereo Binocular Viewer (#93690) allows you to adapt two eyepieces to the telescope for simultaneous viewing (i.e., like binoculars). The result: a fantastic three dimensional effect when observing many celestial objects. The Stereo Binocular Viewer greatly improves contrast and definition on lunar, planetary and solar subject matter as well as on deep sky objects.Using both eyes to view through a telescope is a , relaxed and thrilling way to at last enjoy your observing time. When both eyes are open, your eye muscles are relaxed and you do not suffer from eyestrain.To demonstrate just one of the effects you will see, compare an eye chart when examining your eyes. Cover one eye and read the chart to the smallest line you can see clearly. Now remove the cover over the eye, relax for a few seconds and then examine the chart with both eyes open - you can see more detail than with one eye. In addition, the brain corrects for small defects (aberrations) of the eyes when given the information from both eyes. Beyond a 50 foot distance, pupils are nearly parallel and prevent real stereoscopic viewing. However, since our brain "knows" (due to near distance experience), we identify distant objects as three dimensional. The more experienced the observer, the more this effect will be apparent.
