Product Description
Have a seat. You're about to enter the digital dimension. Inside the DVD-CP67K, you'll find a digital Cinema Mode that combines brightness control with picture noise canceling. The result is a clear and crisp image that appears on your screen. And from the comfort of your chair, you can adjust the picture on your screen. Built-in Advanced Surround (V.S.S.) and Bass Plus provide channel surround sound that will blow back your hair. It's like going to the movies or a big concert without ever leaving your home. That's the digital dimension.

The best thing about a DVD changer is that it doubles as a CD player (how often will you watch five movies back to back?). Panasonic's DVD-CP67 excels as a player of both movies and music, offering remarkable quality for its price. Its standard interlaced and progressive-scan (HD-ready) images are above average, and it provides the best DVD-based navigation we've seen for MP3 files. The stylish DVD-CP67's progressive-scan outputs produce smooth, vibrant images that must be seen to be believed. Its composite-video and S-video outputs are superb. Other features include "top menu," which zips right to the disc's primary content menu (past irritating copyright warnings and previews), sequential CD playback (plays through all five discs), and the ever-handy Quick Replay.

MP3 CDs burned on a PC are a great way to audition songs from the Internet on a home stereo. They also provide the ability to load the DVD-CP67 with about 50 of your favorite albums--that's roughly 10 albums per MP3- or WMA-encoded disc--for some serious uninterrupted playback. The MP3 navigation features on this player are a delight. Wander between albums (folders) with the remote's menu controls, scan within tracks, or select a new song while one is playing and skip right to it quickly. The manual states that the player doesn't support ID3 tags (which display artist, song name, genre, etc.), but in our testing, complete artist and file names were visible.

The player grants both disc and track access from the remote control, where many players make you rely on the "disc skip" button when you're changing selections from the couch. The supplied remote is sensibly laid out, though the buttons are a tad small. The box includes a detachable power cord and a composite-video/stereo analog audio interconnect. --Michael Mikesell

Pros:

Easy setup
Stylish design
Direct-disc and direct-track access on remote
Above-average picture quality
Above-average disc loading speed
Above-average read abilities for MP3 discs
Excellent MP3 disc navigation
Fast switching among disc chapters, tracks, and MP3 files

Slow start-up
Analog audio output slightly light in bass
Does not play JPEG CDs

Amazon.com Product Description
A mere 3 inches tall, Panasonic's DVD-CP67K (also available in silver) gives you the convenience of five-DVD and/or CD playback with multiple-format video outputs, including stunning progressive-scan video for use with an HD or HD-ready set. Whether you currently have HDTV capabilities or you're merely thinking of "someday," the CP67K stands ready to deliver. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

This player's Cinema Mode cuts down glare and improves color resolution in a darkened living room, Quick Replay jumps back seven to 10 seconds, variable zoom converts any widescreen image to full screen on a 4:3 aspect-ratio TV (eliminating the black bands at the top and bottom of the screen), and high-speed smooth scan zips through a two-hour movie in just 40 seconds. The CP67K is compatible with standard DVD-R (it's guaranteed to play Panasonic DVD-Rs recorded and finalized with a Panasonic DVD video recorder, though others may work as well), CDs, audio CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and discs encoded with MP3 or WMA (Windows Media) audio files. A 192 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures optimal decoding of all disc formats except high-resolution DVD-Audio.

To round out the stereo experience, Advanced Surround (V.S.S.) simulates surround-sound effects using only two speakers, dynamic range compression limits the peak levels of Dolby Digital-encoded programs (found on most DVDs), and the Dialogue Enhancer increases the relative volume of the center channel, making center-channel content easier to hear.

For connections, you get the works: standard composite-video, S-video, and premium component-video outputs. The latter can be switched to deliver either 480i or 480p (progressive-scan) video. The player also has a single set of stereo RCA analog-audio outputs and an optical digital-audio output to feed a surround-sound signal to your Dolby Digital-decoding or DTS-decoding audio/video receiver.

Amazon.com Product Description

With the JVC CU-VD10 ShareStation DVD Burner for Everio G Camcorders, you can create DVDs from the footage you've shot with your JVC Everio G-Series camcorders without the need for a computer. The JVC CU-VD10 connects directly to an Everio GZ-MG27, GZ-MG37 and GZ-MG77 via a USB cable and allows the camcorder to transfer footage directly to a DVD. The camcorder will convert .mod files to DVD video format, which the JVC CU-VD10 then makes into DVD video discs that can be played on most DVD players.<P> Once connected via USB 2.0, the camcorder automatically identifies the DVD burner and is used to control the burning process. The desired video clips are selected from a menu that appears on the camcorder's LCD, and with the push of a button they're transferred to a blank DVD that had been loaded into the JVC burner. One hour of video footage, which is about four gigabytes, takes approximately 45 minutes to burn to disc. Recordings are made using DVD-R/-RW discs.<P> The JVC CU-VD10 can also be connected to a Windows-based PC (Windows XP/2000SP4) for DVD burning and reading. When used with recommended DVD-R/-RW discs, it offers a write speed of up to 8x (4x RW), and a read speed of 8x (5x RW). It also offers a reading speed of 5x for DVD-ROM, and 10x for CD-R, CD-RW, and CD-ROM discs. The burner comes with Power 2 Go data writing software from Cyberlink for PC. Among its many advantages, recording directly to hard drive will give you the ability to quickly locate desired material, effortlessly delete unwanted video, and easily rearrange playback sequence.

Easy, fast and good quality.......2007-02-12

It is very easy to connect and use. You can create a DVD from you JVC camcorder quickly. The quality is very good.

What I used are free DVD-R disks I bought from staples during black Friday couple of years ago.

Very easy to use.......2007-02-06

The item is a good fit for what we need to use it for. Would most likely rate it higher but we have not used it enough to do so.

Date on still photo, .......2007-01-11

Just pay attention to the details of the burner..............2006-12-27

We got this DVD share station as a wedding gift. My wife and I decided to not have a wedding lunch and keep the money to buy us a JVC Everio Hard Drive Camcorder so that we could have it for our honeymoon and first few years of our new life together. We took some video and burned a DVD with the share station with the DVD that came with the burner. Then we edited a video on our computer and tried to burn it. It didn't work. So, we went out and bought more burnable dvds. I just thought I had some faulty, cheap blank dvds, so we bought some nice sony DVD + RW discs. They didn't work. I got upset and checked reviews online, and all of them were pretty much bad saying that this burner didn't work. Well, the next day, we read the instructions and learned that there is a differance between DVD + R and DVD - R discs. We learned that the DVD + RWs and the DVD - RWs didn't work with the burner, and that it is picky on which brand you use, and you have to make sure that it it is a DVD - R formatted disc. JVC, Sony, TDK, and Verbatim DVD-R discs are the ones that work. Ever since we learned that, all of our dvds have burned perfectly and everything has been great. It was a pain in the butt figuring out what was wrong, but now that it is working, I am very impressed with this burner. I hope that people who have problems with theirs will read this review and try what I suggested before getting upset and returning it.

Sounds great but a big let down.......2006-11-19

Me and my wife bought the JVC camcorder and burner set up to send dvd's back to my parents because we did not have an computer at the time. At first it worked great then after 2-3 disc in it would pull up the same message unable to formate the disc. We have been throught about 25 disc just to burn off 10. We returned it to get another and it did the same thing. WE thought i might of been a bad batch of disc so we used the one that came with the burner and no deal. I do not recommend this to anyone.
