Product Description
The Kenwood VR-8060-S is ready to take your home theater up to the next level of performance! Six 100-watt amplifier channels have the power to play film soundtracks at realistic theater levels, while its K-STAT power transistors (a Kenwood exclusive) self-adjust to give you optimum sound quality at all times. A 32-Bit ADI SHARC DSP processor gives the VR-8060-S incredibly accurate performance at all signal levels, from the loudest explosion to the most delicate musical passage. The receiver's sixth amplifier channel drives a surround back speaker for the latest 6.1-channel Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES 96/24 soundtracks, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx creates an incredible 7.1-channel experience with ordinary 2-channel sources like CDs, VHS tapes and even FM radio. Active EQ tailors the receiver's response to bring the best sound out of whatever type of speakers you have (full-range, satellites, etc) and the type of program you're listening to (Movies, Music, or TV). The VR-8060-S has connections for 8 different audio components (including a turntable and a DVD-Audio player) and features Component and S-Video Connections for maximum video quality. Video up-converting from composite to S-Video simplifies connections and operation. The included Universal Pre-programmed Remote controls the receiver, your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable or satellite tuner, and select audio components.
Amazon.com Product Description
The 6.1-channel Kenwood VR-8060-S is loaded with the high-end surround-sound processing features Dolby Digital EX for delivering up to six, independent soundtrack channels and DTS-ES (Discrete, Matrix, Neo:6) to take advantage of the latest in digital audio and video. For listening to ordinary 2-channel sources like CDs, VHS tapes and even FM radio, Dolby Pro Logic IIx creates realistic 7.1-channel surround sound. The VR-8060-S sends 100 Watts into each of six channels, while its K-STAT Discrete Audio Amplifier, a Kenwood exclusive, helps to ensure the highest possible signal purity for better sound without interference. A 32-bit ADI SHARC DSP processor gives the VR-8060-S incredibly accurate performance at all signal levels. DSP (digital signal processing) simulates different environments to make audio a more life-like listening experience. A full complement of AV inputs/outputs (including component and S-Video, four digital inputs, and a digital output) makes it easy to connect all of your digital and analog components. Plus, the 8060-S has video up-converting from composite to S-Video that simplifies connections and operation by eliminating the need for separate audio and video cables.

The VR-8060-S has full digital bass management letting you set up your system so that deep bass gets sent only to the speakers made to handle it, reducing distortion and increasing dynamics.

The included universal pre-programmed remote controls the receiver, your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable or satellite tuner, and select audio components. And with direct input source selection you can go directly to the component you want to use without having to scroll through each individual input.

Amazon.com Product Description

A great companion on the road, the Acer TravelMate TM6460-6752 (model LX.TED06.059) provides a practical, affordable mobile solution for home office workers on the go and small to medium-sized businesses. This affordable notebook PC is powered by Intel's powerful Core 2 Duo processor, which offers a 20 percent performance boost over its predecessor while using 28 percent less power--so you get the benefit of a powerful dual-core PC plus all the benefits of mobility. The dual-execution core T7200 Core 2 Duo processor provides an optimized, multi-threaded architecture for improved gaming and multi-asking performance, and it features a 2.0 GHz speed, lightning quick 667 MHz system bus, and massive 4 MB L2 cache.

It provides seamless wireless and wired communication (with ultra-fast Gigabit Ethernet) and an integrated 1.3-megapixel Acer OrbiCam positioned on top of the LCD panel with a 225-degree rotation. Other hardware features include a widescreen 15.4-inch LCD panel, 160 GB hard drive, 2 GB of installed RAM (2 GB max), full tri-mode 802.11a/b/g wireless capability, modular dual-layer DVD burner (swappable in AcerMedia Bay), and ATI Radeon Xpress X1300 video card with 128 MB of dedicated video RAM.

The preinstalled Microsoft Windows Vista Business features a new user interface, named Windows Aero, that makes it easy to navigate through the operating system and from application to application. For instance, Windows Aero helps you juggle multiple tasks at once by providing a three-dimensional, real-time, animated view of all your open applications and documents. Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

<b>The Basics</b>
<ul>

  • Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 processor has a 2.0 GHz processor speed, super-fast 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and an enormous 4 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

    The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include: <ul>

  • Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
  • Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
  • Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
  • Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.</ul>

  • Hard Drive: You'll be able to store large libraries of digital audio, video, and photos on the 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM). This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0. In addition, Acer's patented DASP--or Disc Anti-Shock Protection system--reduces the impact of knocks and bumps.

  • Memory: The 2 GB of built-in memory (PC4200, DDR2 SDRAM) is an excellent start for power users, and it offers a very fast 533 MHz speed. It has two memory slots, enabling you to add up to 4 GB of RAM for worry-free handling graphics-intensive presentations and multiple open business productivity applications.

  • DVD/CD Drive: The multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following write speeds: 4x for dual-layer DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL; 8x for single-layer DVD-R and DVD+R; 8x for DVD+RW; 6x for DVD-RW; 5x for DVD-RAM; and 24x/16x for CD-R/RW.

  • Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook features the 88-key Acer FineTouch keyboard with five-degree curve, inverted T cursor layout, embedded numeric keypad, hotkey controls, international language support, and 2.5mm minimum key travel. The touchpad has a four-way scroll button. </ul> <b>Screen, Video & Audio</b>
    The 15.4-inch WXGA LCD has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels--perfect for watching movies in their intended 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Video is powered by the ATI Radeon Xpress X1300 with 128 MB of video RAM, which delivers stable and reliable visual power for business and communications applications, demanding 3-D games, and the coming Windows Vista operating system. It also has an integrated audio card with Microsoft DirectX 9.0 support.

    <b>Networking, Connectivity & Expansion</b>
    This Acer notebook features an integrated PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless LAN (with Acer's SignalUp technology for enhanced antenna efficiency) that's compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). It also offers integrated Bluetooth 2.0 wireless connectivity for synchronizing and transferring data between your PC and your PDA or cell phone, connecting to Bluetooth-enabled printers, and more. You get a good offering of options for multimedia connectivity (including FireWire): <ul>

  • 3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
  • 1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
  • 1 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (one Type II card, 32-bit PC CardBus architecture)
  • 1 VGA for external monitor
  • 1 DVI-D for connecting to external monitor or HDTV
  • 1 S-Video for connecting to a TV or projector
  • Stereo headphones/speakers/line-out
  • 5-in-1 card reader compatible with MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and xD-Picture Card
  • Fast Infrared (FIR)
  • Connector for optional ezDock II or II+ docking station </ul> It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

    <b>Operating System</b>
