Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's DVD-VR330 provides the best of both worlds, with the ability to record home movies and TV programming to a wide variety of DVD discs while enabling you to continue playing your vast VHS library. Additionally, the 4-head VCR offers a full complement of standard recording and playback options as well as the ability to easily convert VHS tapes to DVD. A front-panel DV (FireWire IEEE 1394) input enables you to connect the family video camcorder and edit and record footage directly to a DVD disc--all via a single cable and without losing image quality. The EVQ (Enhanced Video Quality) feature provides sharper images and truer color reproduction for both movies and home videos. EVQ reduces pixel noise produced during digital signal processing, mitigates the cross color phenomenon occasionally produced by separation of Y & C signal.
It offers a full menu of DVD recording options, including DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW as well as DVD-RAM discs--a very flexible format that allows you to re-record on the disc up to several thousand times. Additionally, it offers recording compatibility with DVD-/+R discs--enabling you to store up to 8.5 GB of video on these two-sided discs.
You can program recording via the timer, or choose easy one-touch recording (initiating playback at 30 minutes and adding 30 minutes with each additional press of the button, up to the available disc time or 240 minutes, whichever is sooner). Chapters are created when you record your favorite TV show or video clips from a camcorder onto a DVD disc. The chapters are automatically created, which eliminates wasted time searching the whole DVD to find the right spot. Up to 99 titles can be recorded onto one disc. With the simple and easy edit function menu, you can delete, copy, rename, and lock, among other things. You can also create a playlist and edit video in a specific sequence.
It offers the following connection options:
Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Keep yourself informed, organized, and entertained with the Compaq Aero 2110 palm-size PC. This high-end color palm PC manages your calendar, business contacts, and to-do list; provides a voice recorder and note taker; and even lets you read e-mail and Web information or listen to audiobooks and radio programs downloaded from your desktop PC.Setting up the Aero 2110 was easy--we just removed the protective strips from the main and backup batteries, plugged in the AC adapter, and attached the synchronization cable to the desktop "partner" PC's serial port. We followed the Aero's setup wizard and then dropped in the software CD-ROM and followed the Windows CE installation wizard--all clearly explained in the Quick Start Guide.
You operate the Aero with five front-mounted and two side-mounted push buttons or by tapping the stylus on the display. The Aero is comfortable to hold and operate, and the high-resolution backlit color screen is beautifully easy to read in any light.
The Windows CE CD-ROM provides the necessary software to manage tasks on your desktop PC and synchronize them with the Aero. Compaq also provides supplemental software to download audio programs, view standard digital files, and more.
In our test, we installed the AudiblePlayer and visited a Web site offering downloadable audiobooks. The process of installing the player and the petulant AudioManager desktop software took about an hour. It took another 20 minutes to download a free book, and another hour to transfer the title to the Aero 2110. Despite the slow process, we were still impressed that we could listen to audiobooks on a PDA. A similar but much friendlier process downloads e-mail and Web content--news, magazine subscriptions, and so on--that you can read offline.
With its attractive ergonomic design, complete set of personal organizer functions, color screen, expandable memory, digital audio abilities, terrific software suite, and Windows CE operating system, the Aero is a fun and useful PDA.

Compaq aero 2110.......2000-10-07
The Compaq aero 2110 is nice and thin it has my new things to explore. ...
Review after having an Aero for a year........1999-11-26
1. The screen is not resistant enough to scratches to allow for long term writing with the included sylus. If you plan to write on your PDA daily and for long periods, sctaches on the bottom appear, and only get worse with use.You will want to purchase screen protectors from a company like Concept Kitchen to protect your screen.
2. Three of my co-workers as well as myself purchased these products at the same time. In 2 of them, the audio went out and never came back.. The vertict when we compared notes: The 2 of us who lost our audio played alarms and MP3's (using the MP3 player), which were very loud. If your looking for a good audio system, you should consier the Casio model instead, which also features stereo audio (Compaq's Aero is mono only)
3. If this will become a necessary part of your life, and if you find that you are using it the majority of your day, you will want to get one of many PDA Accessory kits that are available at various online retailers. Look for one that includes screen protection accessories and cleaning products. The sooner you get this, the better. I found out too late that my screen was getting scratched with my writing, and even though my screen is now protected I have unrecoverable damage to my screen.
Overall, the system performs well, and is rugged enough to be thrown in a briefcase or a pocket daily. This is most useful to someone who is a Microsoft Windows user at home and work, since the interface is almost identical (There is even a start button). If you are a hobbiest wanting the latest and most feature rich PDA, this is not for you, the Casio and HP models may be better. However, if you are a business professional who wants a reliable system that can live with a mono audio system and an acceptable color visual display, this model is for you.

The best PDA on the market!.......1999-10-21
Excellent unit -- the voice recorder is a huge plus.......1999-10-11
When I'm on the road, I can quickly record an idea on the Compaq by pressing the voice record button that is safely & strategically located in the corner where I can get to it without otherwise turning the unit on,or opening the case. I've been very pleased with it!
