4 out of 5 stars Good Stuff.......2007-12-31

This was exactly what the doctor ordered. I did a lot of research trying to find the best (and most economical way) to transfer our 8mm and DV videotapes to DVD so we could enjoy them with ease (as opposed to having to hook the video recorder to the TV and search endlessly through old tapes). Services ranged from $20 to $40 PER TAPE. This baby is easy to use and does a great job. And with the price point, it pays for itself. ON THE DOWNSIDE -- if you have a Sony camcorder, I think you have more options for indexing, and labeling. With a non-Sony, when the DVD is done and you put it in your DVD player, it comes up as a single chapter (even though it might be two hours long). It's not that big of a deal, because you can choose how long you want chapters to be (I always choose five minutes) and, despite the fact that the menu shows only one chapter, it skips ahead at five minute intervals with ease. It would be very cool if it showed multiple chapters in the menu screen.
Overall, this is a good, quality product.

5 out of 5 stars exccellent!.......2007-12-12

It works exactly as advertised. Caveats: does not work with a PC, as the USB input port works only with some Sony camcorders. The Firewire does not work with other camcorders either. So, basically, unless you have a Sony camcorder, you will use this only for recording via s-video or composite (does not have component input). Great product, otherwise, but I would buy an earlier model if I would not have a Sony HD camcorder.

5 out of 5 stars DVD Recorder.......2007-12-10

This DVD recorder is so easy to use. You just plug it in to the wall and plug your video camera into it, put in the blank DVD, press one button, follow the easy prompts, and it starts transferring! That's it. It's soooo simple!

4 out of 5 stars Careful if planning on importing VIDEO from an SD-card!.......2007-12-08

I am giving this a 4 star just for being pure genius by Sony. I will not be using this as I prefer to use software and edit my videos and DVD's ; however, this is the PERFECT gift for many of my family members who are just looking for SIMPLICITY. I was testing it out with my MP4 video files from SD card using the nice little SD card slot on the unit. Unfortunately,the unit only recognizes still images (photos) on SD cards! I know there are other ways to transfer via cable(s) but I was really excited about the SD card slot...great for photos but does NOT allow you to transfer MP4 video files! If it did, this would be a 5 star rating no doubt.

1 out of 5 stars Not for me!.......2007-12-06

I found this machine complicated to use, came with no cords and I eventually returned the machine to Amazon because it was not compatable with my VCR player. I called the company for technical assistance and they said they didn't know how to help me. I spent $30 on cords trying to get it to work, without success. Know what you are doing before purchasing.

        KRK VXT 8 Pair Powered Monitors

        Product Description

        Drawing upon the design characteristics of KRK's Expose E8B, the new VXT Series of monitors consists of three models, the VXT4, VXT6, and VXT8. With a visually striking enclosure design that is equally functional, providing low resonance, improved structural integrity and extended low-end, slotted ports for reduced port turbulence, plus a sleek curvature that provides excellent imaging characteristics and a widersweet spot the VXT monitors achieve a new level of precision. The domed tweeter (comprised of true silk for fast transient response) and the new woofer design (with its stiffer, lighter cone that provides low distortion and extended low-end) both have vented formers to remove heat and reduce the effects of power compression, enabling these monitors to maintain their sonic signature. With uncompromising attention to detail that includes tamper resistant switch covers, integrated Omni Mount support and more, the VXT Series is an outstanding choice for a broad range of monitoring applications.
