Product Description
Powered subwoofers have become integral to any complete audio/visual system, particularly home theater. Normal speakers leave the very lowest frequencies unheard. Powered subwoofers fill in those blanks. For years, AudioSource has been the leader in providing quality powered subs at affordable prices. All include level controls and both speaker and line inputs and outputs. This model features a variable crossover from 40 Hz to 180 Hz, auto-on circuitry, and a phase reverse switch.
Amazon.com Product Description
Just the thing for your burgeoning home theater or back-room listening system, AudioSource's affordable PSW100 subwoofer pounds out 100 rock-solid watts of low-end power, bringing high-impact slam to DVDs and greater ambient detail and instrumental heft to your favorite music.

A variable low-pass filter (LPF) lets you tailor the sub's output to your existing speakers. By setting the LPF high (toward 180 Hz) you can fill in the bass for bookshelf speakers that may have extremely limited bass output, while a lower setting (toward 40 Hz) will supplement and perceptually deepen the output from larger, floorstanding speakers that have more of their own low end to start with.

You're getting more than just the basics here: the PSW100 comes with a phase-reverse switch for placement flexibility (to help align the crests and dips of the different sound waves when the PSW100 and your main speakers are in different places) and auto-on signal sensing for power conservation.

You can hook up the PSW100 one of 2 ways. In the first case, you can feed the sub an RCA-tipped line-level signal from your preamplifier or surround receiver. Using this method, your receiver can most effectively route the LFE (low-frequency effects) channel from Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio, or SACD surround programs directly to your subwoofer.

Alternately, you can run speaker cable from your receiver to the PSW100 and then from the sub's outputs to your front left/right speakers. Use of this method results in a more seamless transition from the subwoofer to your speakers since the signal arriving at your speakers has already been filtered through the PSW100's internal crossover (the variable LPF discussed above). If you plan to listen to stereo music with your subwoofer, this might be the way to go.

A Glorified External Disc Reader.......2007-05-03

I got this unit to take some of the strain off of my laptop's internal DVD writer and found that 80% of the DVDs I burnt with this unit were ruined. It might be due to the USB connection, but premium quality blanks and a slow writing speed didn't seem to help at all. I lost several VALUABLE presentation files because of the constant errors in writing from this unit. I didn't catch that the drive was responsible until I was backing some data up with a program that does a verification check and the software kept telling me that the just-burnt DVD had failed the check. This happened 23 times before I gave up and returned this paperweight.

If you want a DVD reader that can make slow labels with Lightscribe, then this is for you. If you want a reliable WRITER unit, then go get an internal drive for a desktop.

great burner.......2007-04-09

I plugged the unit in, attached to USB port and it worked perfectly. DVD's
playback great as well as CD's. DVD's and CD's burned with the included
software worked great. (I used Verbatim DVD+R Lightscribe) Unit runs quiet
and sits on rubber feet so there's no vibration. Lightscribe works great,leave around 20 min. to burn a full size high quality image, a few lines of text takes a min. or so. Recommended

TigerDirect is great, fast burning with this DVD Writer with one small complaint........2007-03-12

I bought the HP Super-Multi DVD940E DVD Burner with Lightscribe from Tiger Direct and couldn't be more satisfied. First, the shipment actually came a day earlier than the shipping estimate. When I used the Writer the Writing Speed was extremely fast it took me about ten minutes to write about two hours of video. My only complaint would be that Nero express did not meet all my burning needs. Also, I needed to download a converter for my files. Expect to buy video converter software and burning software like the full Nero version if you have extensive burning needs like I do. Overall, this was a great purchase if you are looking for speed and high quality DVD burns this Writer is for you. I highly recommend Tiger Direct
