Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's stylishly black DVD-R130 puts the power, quality, and convenience of digital video recording and playback at your fingertips. The stylish, slender component stands less than 2.5 inches tall but delivers everything from convenient DVD recording (write-once DVD-R and rewritable DVD-RW) to progressive-scan video and playback of MP3 music and JPEG digital-photo files. 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.

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:

Composite video: 1 out
S-Video: 1 out
Component video: 1 out
Firewire: 1 in
RF: 1 in, 1 out
Analog audio: 2 in, 2 out
Coaxial digital audio: 1 out
Optical digital audio: 1 out

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.

Product Description

Powered by Microsoft's Windows CE operating system, the Compaq Aero 1500 series is designed to provide you quick and convenient access to critical information while away from your PC. The world's smallest Windows CE powered Palm-size PC, the Aero 1500 fits neatly in your pocket and acts as a mobile extension to your PC, letting you access and organize important information such as your contacts, schedule and task list wherever you go. The Aero 1500 features a crisp, high-resolution display that greatly enhances the clarity of text and graphics so that you can view more information at a glance.

Good...but Compaq is a problem........2001-10-13

I find this Aero quite a good buy. I got it ...and enjoyed it. After a while something happened to the screen, and after debating with every type of Compaq representative on the phone, they fixed it. This happened again more recently, and I went through the same process.

In conclusion, it is a very good unit. But Compaq is not as good.

Think twice about buying another Compaq.......2000-04-07

I have been a loyal fan of Compaq. I owned 2 desktop presarios, one handheld and one palm size. The Aero has been very disappointing. I bought it May 1999, the internal battery broke Labor day 1999. I cannot recharge it or even turn it on. The only choice that customer service gave me was to send it back. I sent it back to Compaq, they gave me a refurbished unit swapping out my 4-month old unit. The new unit will not sync with my PC. The reason being that Windows CE recognize that it is another Aero with a different serial number. I spent more than 10 hours figuring out what to do and move file by file back to the Aero. Compaq did not restore my data and their customer support is useless. They just hang up on you when they cannot answer your question. When I try to turn the unit on in March 2000 (last week), the same thing happened again. I called customer service and they said the same thing, send it back and they will give me another refurbish unit. Now I tell them that my warranty is going to expire in June 2000, and they told me that if it happens again, it would be $200 to fix it. I have not had a problem with the handheld (C-Series) and I do not know what is wrong with the design of the Aero. I told Compaq that $500 is too much to spend on something that will only last 1 year and breaks down 3 times. I asked for a partial refund and has been denied. I will think twice now about buying another Compaq.

Aero Fan.......2000-04-01

If you are as busy Parent like I am, you need this product! At the end of the day, I just pick up my Aero from the pod and I can review all my unread Outlook mail messages at home or at the playground. I can dial in but with kids you never know what room you might be in. I can also review my meeting plan the next day and know how early I need to get everyone up and dressed. The best feature is the recorder. One button and you can record your grocery list or other TO DO's. More Diapers!

I'm not a PC wiz by any means but it was really easy to learn to use. It's a time saver!

Not a bad product, but I'm glad I kept my Palm V.......2000-03-15

I purchased this device mainly because I work for a company that does Windows CE development. It's not a bad product, but it will never get Palm owners to throw away their PDAs.

It's full featured, but it's just not a quick to access the individual applications. I can sync info just as easily with Office 2000 with my Palm. Maybe if I hadn't used a Palm first I'd fall in love with the Compaq, but I'm spoiled by the quicker response of the Palm (not to mention I've been using a Palm Pilot since day one and Palm graffiti is permanently burned into my brain!)

It's also still just a little big larger than the Palm V, which bugs me. Still, the voice recorder is a nice touch that the Palm doesn't have. Everything else is just overkill for me, though.

Just like a Palm V only better.......2000-03-03

I purchased my Aero 1530 about a week ago and so far I really like it. Before I purchased the Aero, I looked at all of the Palm Pilot models and several Windows CE products. For the money, I believe the Aero 1530 is the best choice. One of the best features is the Voice Recorder. I can record a voice note while I am driving, so I don't forget to do something. The Aero syncronizes many of my MS Outlook items automatically, so I am always up to date no matter where I am (office or away). If you are a busy professional, you will love having all of your contacts, calenders and tasks with you whenever you have your Aero. It is especially great for meeting notes! The other thing that really sets the Aero apart from other Windows CE products is its size and weight. It's about the same size and weight as the Palm V and it fits nicely in your shirt pocket. The only bad thing I can say about the Aero 1530, is that it is so nice, my wife now wants one.
