It measures 8.9 inches in width, a depth of 6.3 inches, 1.3 inches in height, and has a mass of 2.2 lbs. Image quality is as crisp as can be with its high resolution, widescreen 8-inch LCD display. What’s more, the monitor swivels up 180 degrees which makes viewing possible in every angle.  It supports a wide range of media types – CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, CD, Video CD, to name a few. Aside from movies, it also plays MP3 files and even displays pictures. Audio quality is made incredible through the Sony DVP-FX810’s stereo output and virtual surround sound. This device can also be operated remotely through infrared or the dual sensor remote control. Another convenient attribute is the DVD repeat and the CD playback modes. It allows the user to resume directly where he left off.

What makes the Sony DVP-FX810 an ideal travel companion are its external power adapter, car battery charger, and the rechargeable lithium ion battery.

Another notable pink portable DVD player is the Sony DVP-FX930.

Comparison Of Available Audio Towers

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Are you looking for a simple storage solution for all of the miscellaneous audio/video components that you’ve amassed over the years? Although you probably started your A/V collection with just one or two individual components, it’s quite common for most people to add at one every couple of years. The primary reason that people add components to their home theater setups is the emergence of new technologies. Take a moment to think of technology that has come (and gone) over the past few years – Blu Ray, HD-DVD and many video game systems are just a few of them. Regardless of the number of components that make up your system, it’s important that you have a good way to store them to ensure maximum performance and product longevity.

Perhaps the simplest way to store your sensitive devices is by using an audio tower. In case you don’t already know, audio towers are meant to provide storage to your components while keeping them shielded for dust and dirt. These units are also meant to provide enough space for each component to rest on its own shelf, which is critical for keeping them operating at the proper temperature. When looking at the options that exist, there are really only two main types, which are listed below –

1.    Enclosed Towers – this is the best choice if you’re looking to protect your devices from dust and debris. An enclosed tower can also be a great way to provide a clean and organized appearance.
2.    Open Towers – these audio towers keep your components visible and do not protect them from dust and grime as enclosed structured do. There are a couple of advantages to an open tower, as they are generally priced lower and don’t require the use of an RF remote control.

Among the two types listed, there are a variety of options at your disposal, from different sizes to different types of finishes. You can also choose to purchase a high-end unit that features sophisticated power and cable management. So, what are you waiting for? Head online today and check out the various options that exist to help you protect your electronic devices.

Sony MDR-KX70LW Earbuds Review

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

More and more people are using retractable earbuds because they are more and more active – if you are on the run all the time, and like to listen to music at the same time these are a great option for you. You can easily retract the cord inside the holster while you don’t want to wear them, and then just pull the cord to wear them again. The biggest problems that ar experienced with these though, are that the retracting mechanism doesn’t work properly, and that they earphones stop working faster than usually, because you are pulling the cord all the time. This is actually quite a rare problem with the Sony MDR-KX70LW Earbuds and there people over the internet saying that they have had them on constant use for over two years without any problems – this is a clear sign of good quality.

The first thing that I see when I open the box is that the retracting devide in the Sony MDR-KX70LW retracting earbuds is really stylish, and it looks like something that I could wear and not worry about hiding it in my pocket. Usually they are made of white plastic, but this has a brushed aluminium cover, that gives it a contemporary look. It also comes with a clip hook that you can use to attach it to practically anything. I used it on the side of my belt, while the player was in my pocket. The earplugs are like what we are used to with Sony – high quality sound and good noise cancellation. Usually people feel like the low end of the speaker isn’t as loud as it could be, but in my opinion Sony headphones provide a higher quality sound because there isn’t such an emphasize on the bass as with many other manufacturers; Phillips to name an example.

Keep in mind that Sony also manufacturers high end headphones, and their quality is unmatched in the consumer hifi – you can’t go wrong with the MDR-KX70LW.
