Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's fourth-generation remanufactured DMRE50S DVD recorder sports many of the features and benefits that people expect from digital technology, but merges them with a user-friendly interface and an unexpectedly low price. The DMRE50S's joint support of DVD-RAM and DVD-R media formats provides the best of both worlds: DVD-R for the highest compatibility (letting you share video recordings with virtually anyone who owns a DVD player) and DVD-RAM to enjoy such advantages as unlimited rewriting, Time Slip, Chasing Playback, and simultaneous play and record. The DVD-RAM format offers the perfect solution for recording and re-recording favorite programs; users can record more than 100,000 times on the same disc.

In addition to sporting an attractive price tag, the feature-rich DMRE50S offers progressive scan technology (for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs), MP3 playback, enhanced time-shifting, instant access, and on-disc video editing. Progressive scan is particularly valuable, as it delivers twice the scan rate of conventional DVD players, ensuring an incredible picture time and again. On-disc video editing, meanwhile, lets you tighten up or rearrange your home movies. And the device isn't restricted to DVD playback, as it also supports such formats as audio CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and MP3-CDs.

Thanks to the DVD recorder's instant recording capability, users won't need to locate blank space on a disc. Simply press record and the unit automatically finds empty space, much like when recording on a computer's disk drive. Panasonic's Time Slip feature is another nice bonus, as it lets you replay a scene recorded earlier while a program is still in progress without disrupting the recording process. Chasing Playback, meanwhile, makes it possible to watch a show from the beginning even though the recording is still in progress. It's also simple to transfer favorite VHS recordings to space-saving DVDs, and personal movie libraries and family videos can be archived, preserved, cataloged, and accessed.

Additional features include a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner, 3:2 pulldown processing (reduces motion artifacts from prerecorded DVDs), an optical digital output for enjoying Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound, two stereo recording modes (Dolby Digital 2.0 and PCM), and S-video and component video outputs). The DMRE50S measures 16.88 by 3.12 by 12.12 inches (W x H x D) and carries a 90-day warranty.

Product Description

The WCS-999 Wireless Microphone system from Sony lets you record voices up to 45 meters away depending on environment and transmission conditions. The WCS-999 is ideal for video camcorders - it captures the voices of family members on vacation, in sporting events, at recitals, birthdays and weddings. It is also ideal for Pressman portable audio recorders as it captures lectures and speeches, good for music and nature study. Supplied lavalier microphone is tiny and unobtrusive, clips onto shirt or tie. Built-in windscreen helps reduce the microphone's pickup of wind noise. Omni-directional microphone pattern picks up sound from all directions. Pocket-sized wireless transmitter is easy to hide, clips onto clothing for unobtrusive use. Wireless receiver plugs into camcorder or audio recorder mic input; easily clips onto clothing, camcorder hand strap or shoulder strap. Three transmission channels enable you to choose another channel if you encounter interference. Monitoring earphone lets you hear what's being recorded; plugs into wireless receiver. Mic mixing lets the camera operator and the subject both be recorded. 900 MHz wide FM transmission allows for outstanding sound quality, excellent frequency response (100 - 15, 000 Hz) and extended dynamic range (more than 78 dB). Switchable transmission channel lets you choose the channel with clear, noise-free sound.

Good wireless mic........2007-04-11

This wireless mic is quick and easy to setup and transmits clearly. Unfortunately the mic does not come with foam cover to reduce wind noise and the sound of it rubbing on clothing.

I bought this after using an Azden VHF for a while. It's better than what I had, and it actually works. Unlke the others reviewers I had no constant noise to deal with.

Usually the signal was strong and clear, but it would suffer from occasional, very short, loss of signal and occasional audible interference. AGAIN .. this was better performance than my AZDEN VHF system. (plus this uses AA betteries while the Azden used 9v batteries)

Unfortunatly, in the world of wireless microphones, this is still at the "toy" level. I finally "bit the bullet" and bought a wireless system that costs about SIX TIMES this unit ... and that is the "low end" for a decent wireless mic system!

PLEASE NOTE: that you need an external mic jack on your camcorder to use this .. many (most?) new camcorders don't have that anymore .. at least those sold to non-professionals. BE SURE your camcorder has a jack for an external microphone before you buy this.

Again, it works .. it's ok .. FOR WHAT IT IS. It's not a professional piece of equipment, but for home movies, and the occasional hobbyist video it should work OK for you.

NOTE: I bought mine at a Sony Factory Store .. it was 'refurbushed' .. it is possible that those who reported 'noise' and poor performance had defective units. If you get one like that, return it and get a replacement right away.

Good product for the price.......2006-10-07

If you are expecting clear professional sound transmission, this is not it. That's a wireless system costing $1,000 - $3,000. This system is strictly for home none professional use. I think people were expecting this system to deliver the hi fidelity sound they hear on movies or TV soundtrack. Professionals do not use this system. That is the reason for the low price. Home movies only.

I'm returning mine.......2006-09-22

I thought that this mic would be exactly what I was looking for. After plugging this in I get a consistent hiss noise in the background. The wireless portion still works and you can hear the voices over the hiss, but I really don't want to deal with cleaning up a background noise like that. Needless to say, I'm returning mine.

Waste of money.......2006-05-27

I was extremely disappointed with this product; I felt very let down by Sony, because for years I bought Sony items with confidence, knowing that anything produced by them would be good and reliable. This item only goes to prove that Sony's standards have dropped and, as such I will use considerable caution when buying anthing else of theirs.
What lets this product down is the lack of distance one can be before the sound breaks up; 2 metres (not 45 metres as stated on the wrapping) was the best I could do, and that was in a straight line. No, all this item is fit for is the rubbish bin!
