PowerDsine PD-8012/AC 12 Port High Power Midspan Review

PowerDsine PD-8012/AC 12 Port High Power Midspan

This was a good price for a 1-port power injector so I ordered 2 of them. When they arrived, they weren't even power injectors. They are 1-port power splitters. You put them at the end of a POE run and they separate out the power and feed it to the device using a separate wire, and feed the ethernet to it over an ethernet wire.

Utterly useless for my application, and utterly unrelated to what they claim it is. I returned them, but they made me pay the postage on the return. Fie.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this item for a long road trip and it performed perfectly until...

I plugged in my GPS and a portable DVD player.It shortly blew.When I say it blew I mean it got hot enough to melt the plastic inside the main male plug as well as the springs inside that hold the fuse was turned into a pool of melted metal.It was completely destroyed.Not to mention the smell of burning plastic lingering in the cabin of the car.

The lesson is that this unit can only handle a maximum load of 2.5 amps TOTAL.Before you buy check and make sure that the devices you are plugging into it do not exceed this rating.For me its the GPS thats the problem in drawing 2.1 amps by itself.I was ok at first because I was using it first with my GPS and the Scosche USB charger accessory which only draws .5 amps.

Overall I was satisfied with this product.I only wish they would have noted its maximum load rating in the product specs.

Advanced Car Mount System FM Transmitter & Charger for ANDROID Phones - HTC, Google, T-Mobile, Motorola, Samsung Review

Bought this will some trepidation reading some of the other reviews but it works amazingly with the Sprint HTC Hero.It comes with a mini USB Power plug and some other adapter for some devices. Not sure what it is for.It also has the right sized audio plug for the Sprint HTC Hero.The FM transmitter is clear and easy to use. Just set it and forget it. It remembers the station between power cycles.I listen to music when traveling and when a call comes in the music on the Hero pauses and the call comes through.Music and phone calls are clear.Listening to music and the Sprint Navigation at the same time is interesting but that is an issue with the Hero, not this product.

One downside that I found was the placement of the USB power outlet on the device.It is on the right side and I feel that it just sticks out there. It hasn't been a problem though.The other downside is the audio plug should have been a 90 degree plugbecause it sticks out of the top of the Hero a bit too far.

Nyrius SW100 Digital Audio Optical Toslink 3 Input Selector Switch Compatible with Fiber Optic Cables, HDTV, Blu-ray DVD player, PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, XBOX360, PS3 Review

The tuner/amplifier that I use for my surround sound system has only one optical audio input.However, both my dvd player and my satellite receiver each have an optical audio output.Prior to obtaining this device, I had to switch these two cables manually.

This switch works very well.It will switch between three optical inputs.The selector locks into place when proper alignment is reached for the desired input source.

This is a great labor saver, and a cost effective option to choose rather than face the expense of purchasing a new tuner/amplifier.

Product Description:
Get more hookup flexibility for your digital components with this versatile, high quality Digital Optical Selector Switch. This 3-Way Digital Optical Selector Switch lets you connect up to three different optical digital components to a component with only one optical digital input. The selector allows you to switch from one component to another just by turning the selector dial - no more disconnecting and connecting cables or moving equipment around. You can play any of the three components you connect and enjoy the output through your home theater system.There are four optical digital jacks. The output jack connects to the main unit to which you would like to expand the number of optical jacks (normally a digital audio/video receiver/amplifier). The three input jacks connect to the source devices and allow you to output digital audio to your main unit. Switch easily between sources instead of disconnecting and reconnecting cables when needing to change inputs. The compact design will fit in tight areas between components.Works with the following digital audio components: home/portable digital audio components with optical connection, MP3/CD/DVD player including Blu-ray/HD DVD, video game consoles (PS3/XBOX360), computer sound card, cable/satellite receiver to your home theater system with a digital optical input.Operation: To hear your connected sources through your home theater system, turn on your home theater system and the audio source you want to hear. Then, press in the lock release button on the selector's dial and rotate the dial to the indicator corresponding with the source you want (1,2, or 3). A green indicator shows which of the three units is selected (only one can be selected at a time). Release the button to lock the selector in place. The sound from the selected source comes through your home entertainment system's speakers.

Panasonic DIGA DMR-EZ475VK - DVD recorder/ VCR combo - black Review

Panasonic DIGA DMR-EZ475VK - DVD recorder/ VCR combo - black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What makes this different from the DMR-EZ47V model? Only the inclusion of an HDMI cable. This is my third Panasonic DVD-type recorder and none of them have had major failings.

Don't believe the Amazon reports of a bad digital tuner as it just isn't true. The secret to good terrestrial digital reception is the right antenna. If you have that, you get great channels. Albeit, not in high def. But this is not a high def recorder. I didn't bother with the analog channels as I receive them all digitally, and then some.

I recommend the stand alone Phillips "Silver Sensor" antenna or clone.Don't waste money on the Terk models as they look nicer but don't do the job as well.Analog transmission is going away so you won't need rabbit ears. If the "Silver Sensor" doesn't work, you are just in a bad location. Mine works great through a 5-900 MHz 3-way splitter.

With my old GoVideo DVD/VCR combo I had 8 cables running from the back of the unit to the TV. 3 component cables & 2 audio. Plus 1 yellow composite and 2 more audio just to play VHS. 8 cables replaced by 1 (ONE) HDMI. Both formats play through HDMI.

With the HDMI upconversion turned on your DVD and VHS pictures can display at 480i/p, 720p, 1080i/p, or just select auto.While the difference in the picture is noticeable, especially with VHS, don't expect miracles. The best upconversion in the world can only simulate HD, it can't create information not in the original. For true HD movie experience we still need blu-ray. I have one and it is awesome.

If the HDMI on your TV supports Viera the Panasonic remote control can control limited functions of your TV. No more manual programming of the remote to work with your TV! The smart features means your player will automatically turn off when you turn the TV off. However, my Vizio doesn't support Viera so it doesn't work via HDMI. Pages 68 - 69 in the manual allows programming of the remote via the buttons.

As you can see in the product description this player supports a wide variety of discs. One long awaited favorite is the ability to record to DVD +/- R Dual Layer.DVD-RAM is great because playback supports 1.3x playback by pressing [play] a second time. Press [play] again to return to normal speed.Now you can record your favorite programs in digitalquality (Analog only to VHS.), skip commercials, and watch them faster on DVD-RAM. The upconversion means you almost don't miss the HD airing. Plus you have the ability to cross copy VHS to DVD and vice verser, providing copy protection is not an issue.

One of my favorite features missing on this unit is "shorten segment". It easily allowed cutting out commercials, yet leave a single video file. Alternately, "divide program" allows cutting around the commercials, then you may delete them. It's a bit more time consuming and leaves you with a fragmented video file. This will not affect play back as it simply jumps to the next video block. However, the "combine chapters" function only works with "chapters" you create, and doesn't combine the segments of cut pieces.

Thus I must agree it is a bit more complex to use, and you will need to spend some time with the manual and even cross reference some pages. It is time well spent as it is nothing you won't learn with repeated use. It's not rocket science. You'll be a pro in no time.

While I wish this had a hard drive and recorded in HD, I can't ding the product because that is not the design intent. Maybe next years model. I'm very picky in what I like and I am VERY happy with this player.

This is a great way to give that old 4:3 analog TV a digital tuner and keep it around a few more years. Plus you could receive more digital channels than analog! But only HDMI supports upconversion. Even with some short comings such as the standard definiton digital tuner, this player does it all and does it extremely well.

My two biggest gripes which make me wish I never sold my analog GoVideo combo.Finalized DVD-R will NOT copy to VHS. Only unfinalized DVD-R will copy providing the material is not copy protected. I can no longer copy a couple of regular DVD's to tape. Maybe there are tweaks to be found. But my need to copy to tape isn't as great as was my desire to do so. Cest la vie.
