Customer Review: Average Product / Check Out In Store First…
I guess I made the mistake of trusting in the review comments both on Amazon and other web sites without actually making the effort to check the product out more carefully in store against other brands.

Having had a high end Sony SACD/DVD player previously perhaps my expectations of the Panasonic were too high? The build quality feels flimsy, each time the DVD drawer opens it sounds and feels as though it will be the last, placing a CD in the drawer needs to be done with kid gloves to avoid feeling as though it will drop off!

The functionality of the player is acceptable, nothing startling nor innovative, in fact compared to a friends earlier Sony model, for some reason seems to lack a sense of progression in it’s intuitive nature.

The manual seems to over complicate the functionality of the unit and it seems difficult to pinpoint a specific instruction to complete certain basic functions, they’re obviously in the manual but it’s not straight forward (unless I’m ageing and losing my technical ability!!)

Perhaps if I had taken time to compare the unit with others I may feel more comfortable in my purchase, my father in law is looking for a new unit to replace his Sony, sadly I can’t say I’ve suggested he rushes out and buys one of these.

I guess it probably does what it says on the box but asside of that it doesn’t delight, merely serves a purpose (in my opinion…)

Consider your purchase carefully on YOUR own research and findings not solely as I did, purely on the advice of others…

Customer Review: Almost perfect…
A ‘What Video’ Best Buy, this is an excellent DVD/HDD recorder that’s very simple to use. It has an inbuilt Freeview tuner that works well, and the 1080p upscaling is effective.

I’ve experienced none of the problems associated with cheaper HDD players, like dodgy lip-sync or image lock. With its huge memory capacity, this player virtually eliminates the need to record on disc at all, though it’s capable of recording, and playing back, just about all formats.

My one quibble is it doesn’t come with multiregion capability, though it is available pre-chipped elsewhere if you shop around.

Overall, an excellent player, which makes a perfect partner for Panasonic’s LXD700 TV.

The freeView Pro X80H is a two-console KVM that can control multiple PCs using one keyboard, mouse & VGA monitor. Complete keyboard and mouse emulation allows for simultaneous PCs boot-up process.

It synthesizes the PS/2 keyboard, mouse, and VGA monitor signal, which can easily be transmitted over a long distance via regular Ethernet CAT5 cable. The receiver (KEX-150P) gets the synthetic signals and returns it back to PS/2 keyboard, mouse and VGA monitor. The KEX-150P also allows another PC to share this remote console via one extra PC port which is built into the receiver unit. This two-console KVM is able to work with single console KVM but it is recommended to use the two-console KVM as the master bank and the single KVM as the slave.

The environmental sensor is integrated with the freeView Power 80 Web interface, allowing the unit to automatically turn individual ports on or off if the ambient temperature or humidity exceeds preset limits.
