Testimonials
Average Buyer Rating: out of 5 stars

Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Sony DAV-X1V ...
Get it for $500 and it's a great buy. Does a nice job for a bedroom set-up. Decent surround and bass. Makes TV shows have better sound (especially from a digital cable box) and holds 5 DVD's for couch potatoes. HDMI to the TV with 1080i upgrade. Small speakers mount easily. AM/FM not too hot unless you have a very long antenna wire.

Not as good as your home theatre set-up but good for the second room.


Buyer's feedback: 3 out of 5 stars - Might Not Be Enough Volume...
I decided on this system while comparing it to the Bose 321 based on many reviews I read in various places on the web. I'm using it in a home with high ceilings and wide open space, but find the sound satisfactory with one exception. Interestingly, when I watch tv and have the sound coming thru the unit the volume is louder than when playing dvd's in the unit. I have to turn the volume ALL the way up for it to be loud enough to enjoy the full effect on discs. This is a bit disconcerting, considering that some movies on dvd will not have the same volume as others, etc. Still, all things considered (i.e.--mostly price!), I feel that I made the right choice. Just don't expect it to rattle the rafters in large open spaces. It might be better suited to a more intimate space. Hope this is helpful.


Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * Not a bad option ... just be realistic ...
I looked at the 2.1 (two speaker, 1 subwoofer) home theatre in a box (HTIB) options extensively. The DAV-X1V is a decent option and a strong upgrade from the previous DAV-X1 product which remains available. The build quality is excellent and the tabletop speakers are solid and compact. It provides a very decent sound with some nice bass. The DVD player works well and puts out a good picture and sound and the integrated AM/FM radio work well. The 5-DVD/CD changer is a bit confusing to work and slow ... but its passable. Frankly, since its hard to remember which DVD/CD is in which of the 5 slots ... we ended up using one at a time. If your looking for a compact, well equipped HTIB system with very easy set-up at a reasonable price ... this is a respectable option. I got down to this and the Samsung HT-Q100 ... a similar product ... but went with the Sony since the HT-Q100 is designed in a vertical presentation and I worried about infringing on the flat screen LCD which was to be mounted on the wall right above. If you are an audiophile at heart or truly want surround sound ... be reasonable with your expectations. This (and most) of the 2.1 systems aren't going to deliver the goods. You may also want to consider the Sony DAV-FX900W 5-Disc DVD Dream System which has a similar base unit as this system but includes a true 5.1 (5 speakers, 1 subwoofer) configuration but with the 2 rear channel (e.g., behind you) speakers in a wireless configuration. One final note ... this unit has solid inputs with all the digital plugs but doesn't include a headphone out jack. Not a deal breaker ... but just something to consider. On the whole, this is a good option worthy of consideration.


Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - Just a Little Disappointed
Before purchasing this system I read a lot of reviews especially at Amazon. So after consideration and investigation I decided this was the purchase for me. Once hooked up I realized that this system really did not perform exactly like I thought it would. I realized that this was not your typical surround system; however I did think I would get a little surround sound, but so far that hasn't been the case. At least not as much as I thought, but I do like the look and the point that it is HD and the DVD movies look GREAT. I did purchase a HD cable so I hope that this will improve the sound quality, time will tell.


Buyer's feedback: 3 out of 5 stars - * Good But Not Surround Sound Like You Know It ...
This is fake surround sound...it sort of works, but if you think it is anything like the real thing, well....think again. It isn't. If you just can't get a real surround system set up due to room configuration, this is probably the next best thing. Just don't get you hopes up too much.

I was a little disppointed at all the cables I had to hook up to get the TV, VCR, iPod and the unit itself hooked up and in sync. I thought the HDMI cable would be the universal outut to the TV, but it isn't. This is probably the same on all home theaters in a box though.

Thanks to CAFE, Detroit three (finally) embrace diesels

Filed under: , ,

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.

But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.

Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."

Garmin nüvi 360 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator
$341.00



The Garmin nüvi 360 GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant is a GPS navigator, personal translator, multi-media entertainer and tour guide all wrapped into one. In addition to all the advanced features of the Garmin nüvi 350 -- including automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, an MP3 player and audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, and much more -- this pocket-sized personal travel assistant comes with hands-free Bluetooth wireless technology, making it the hands-down go-anywhere travel companion.


The nüvi 360 comes with hands-free bluetooth wireles technology. See side view.


Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer.


The device sports a handy MP3 player, letting you play songs stored on SD memory cards.
Make Hands-Free Calls
The nüvi 360 integrates wireless technology with a microphone and speaker that lets you make hands-free mobile phone calls using your compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone. Simply dial numbers with the nüvi's touch screen keypad to place a call, and to answer calls, just tap the screen and speak directly into its built-in microphone.

In addition, you can easily look-up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or from your phone's call history log. Don't know the phone number for your destination? Simply find and dial it from nüvi's database of more than six million points of interest -- including hotels, restaurants, stores, and attractions.

Navigation and Entertainment with Ease
For starters, the nüvi 360 includes a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver that offers exceptional performance and reception. The unit's flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for optional external GPS antenna connection. Preloaded software features maps of Europe or North America, and it includes automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective, turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names, and a fingertip touch screen interface -- making navigation as easy as it gets.

But navigation is just the beginning. Like the nüvi 350, the nüvi 360 also includes many entertainment and travel tools including an MP3 player, audio book player, JPEG picture viewer, travel alarm, and currency converters.

The nüvi 360 features a bright, 2.8 x 2.1-inch TFT display with white backlight for easy readability. At 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87-inches (WxHxD) and just 5.1 ounces, the unit is small enough to be placed on the dashboard with the included suction mount, or into your pocket for easy transportability. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you up to eight hours of power, and an included 12/24 volt adapter cable will let you run the navigator off your vehicle's power. An AC battery charger is also included.

A built-in Travel Kit that includes sample MP3s and audio books will get you started with entertainment, and with the unit's SD memory card expansion slot you can add optional software, such as language and travel guides. A USB port is also included for loading and updating data.

Moulin Rouge 2
$10.97



There are but two kinds of people in the world: Those captivated by Baz Luhrmann's heady, postmodernist musical romp Moulin Rouge--and everybody else. Oddly, the film's initial soundtrack release may have been the project's most traditional element, marketing a slate of pop-star contributions that gave listeners a sometimes-skewed perspective on its true musical charms. This follow-up corrects much of that oversight, offering original film versions of "Sparkling Diamonds" (the lavish, Nicole Kidman-performed medley of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and "Material Girl"), Jim Broadbent's and Richard Roxburgh's loopy take on "Like a Virgin," as well as the lively Offenbach "Can Can" parody "The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)." It also pays homage to the efforts of composer Craig Armstrong, whose quietly compelling underscore often binds the film's other far-flung musical influences together, be they stately orchestral readings of Elton John's "Your Song," a dramatic arrangement for Kidman and Ewan MacGregor's original film duet of "Come What May," or his dark, melodramatic take on Queen's "The Show Must Go On." The first Moulin Rouge soundtrack collection flaunted the film's bold, cross-genre ambitions; this one chronicles its nakedly emotional heart and soul. --Jerry McCulley
Sleeping in the Nothing
$9.98



It would be easy to dismiss Kelly Osbourne's musical ambitions based on 1) Her royally obnoxious behavior on the family's MTV reality series, 2) Her overly manufactured debut album, Shut Up, and 3) That voice, which up until now, sounded like cats on a chalkboard. But spare a moment for the bratty singer's follow-up effort, a remarkably faithful new-wave throwback, which generously references everyone from Duran Duran to Missing Persons. Producer Linda Perry not only effectively revives the dramatic sounds and melodies of the era but offers songs that perfectly suit Osbourne's, er, constrained vocal range. The resulting disc is full of guilty pleasures like "Uh Oh" and "Redlight," tunes that should strike a chord with anyone that still gets a thrill out of happening upon basic cable reruns of "Sixteen Candles." --Aidin Vaziri
