Code Free DVD VCR PAL NTSC Combo

Stereo Vintage Articles No Comments

A code free DVD VCR Combo is a three-in-one device and combines DVD, VCR, and MP3 player in one, saving both time and space. You will not have to plug on different gadgets for different purposes like viewing a movie, listening to a music etc. The added advantage is that the combo costs less than the combined prices of all the gadgets taken together. Moreover, there is no standard specification barrier here. With a code free DVD VCR combo you can play video tapes, DVDs and CDs procured from anywhere in the world. It means even if you are using NTSC as your standard, which is a normal practice in the United States, you can play DVDs using PAL or SECAM as their standards. This would not have been possible in your earlier gadgets of DVD players or VCRs.

The system has many new features, not featured in ordinary TVs, DVD players or VCRs available in the market. Some of the main features are:

o It can play any DVD, VCD, Audio CD, and VHS tapes.

o Multitasking is possible since you can watch a DVD while recording a TV program on the VCR.

o Automatic clock set up and channel surfing capabilities.

o Buttons for different modes are easy to handle.

o Remote controlled DVD and VCR decks.

o Composite S-Video and output programs for optimization of connectivity and performance.

o If DVD is not copy protected with Macro-vision, it can record DVD to VHS.

o Provides for child lock.

o Advantage of having RF inputs and outputs so that it can connect with all types of new and old TVs.

Apart from these general features of the Combo, the device has certain special features relating to DVD and VCR too.

.

Followings are the features that make the combo all-DVD compatible:

o A 10-bit video digital-analog converter that transforms digital signals to analog signal and vice versa facilitating transmission.

o A 96 KHz with 24-bit source play back system.

o A 27 MHZ advanced digital filter.

o It plays back MP3 files from the CD-ROM.

o During 2x speed playback operation the audio continues without being disturbed.

o Allows DTS enhanced DVDs to be played since it has DTS digital output system installed.

For VCR compatibility, the system provides the following features:

o A Hi-Fi stereo system for maintaining high sound qualities.

o It can playback S-VHS systems better than any other standard resolution.

o Provides for VISS, a VHS Index Search System.

o Provides for Scanning.

o Has a feature for Zero return.

o Allows direct time search and blank search.

o It has four heads for superior slow motion or stop action viewing.

o Consists of 16-event, with one year timer recording.

o Consists of both a time remaining and a real time counter.

Since it is a combo, it normally comes in form of a package. The package contains not only the components but other necessary articles like the warranty and Registration card, user guide, and at times information about other bonus offers. The components in the package includes the DVD-VCR combo, RCA cable for the audio and video connections, Radio Frequency Antenna Cable, a remote control operator, and 1.5V “AA” batteries.

The final part of the set up is purely technical yet no wonders for even a layman. What you have to do is that when all the wires and cables are duly attached to the device, just turn on the device and the in built auto set up will guide you through the rest of the process. However, a few things may not be overlooked as follows:

In the pop up dialog boxes which will guide you through the process of set up, read the instructions and the information carefully, so that you don’t put yourself in setting up things you don’t really want.
Allow the set up at each stage adequate time to complete its operation.
It will be better if you keep some extra power generation unit available at hand like a small generator or inverter so that in case of sudden power failure, your set up process is not rudely interrupted. An untimely interruption may result in a faulty set up and problems in future.
You can refer to the user manual whenever some doubt arises in your mind. The set up process has also a simultaneous in built help process to which you can refer.

Once everything is in place and set up is complete, you are ready for using your device and watch the show. With your remote you can pause, play at 1/8th to normal speed, and you can also zoom the pictures to 4X size for fine viewing. The playback includes the A-B repeat that allows you to replay the favorite segment of your DVD or CD. There is also a Bookmark feature that allows you to come back to a particular vintage point you like most or you can play the chapters at random. The ‘One Touch Recording’ feature in the device makes copying the easiest job. However, this feature cannot be controlled with the remote. The feature allows you to record a DVD to a VHS tape. The record speed ranges from Super Slow (SP) to Super Long Play (SLP). Just by pushing the copy button, it is all done. The VCR supports the S-VHS recording and playback. While the ordinary VCR can playback and record only 250 lines of resolution, this combo can support 400 lines of resolution, making a big difference in the picture quality. You can also audio-dub a pre-recorded videocassette from CD, DVD, a microphone, a stereo system or even a tape deck. However, it cannot record in stereo. Moreover, the searching features like Index Marks, Blank Search, and Direct time search makes searching anything possible.

No device is without its limitations. The new combo has its limitations too. You have to go manual while recording a DVD to a VHS tape. There is no facility for stereo recording in S-VHS recording. The operations on MP3 play back are also limited as it cannot read the ID3 tags on the MP3, which allows information such as the title, artist, album, track number, or other information about the file to be stored in the file itself. While displaying the list of recorded songs, it only displays 4 to 8 characters and thus cannot display the whole title. So the track also cannot be seen unless you use the OSD on the TV which will be a somewhat unnecessary consumption of electricity and use of TV when you are listening to music only.

Despite all its limitations, the device is a great invention combining so many features in one unit. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. And if you overlook the slight inconveniences relating to MP3 players, the device may score full marks from the prospective buyers and users. Technical people might find out flaws but the average user will be happy to use this device. Many leading companies like Samsung, Toshiba, Phillips, Sony, Panasonic, and JVC are in the fray. A wide variety of models in different range of prices are available for a user to choose from.

Bugera 6260 Ultimate Guitar Amp Head Review

Stereo Vintage Articles No Comments

The Bugera 6260 is a Boutique-style 2-channel tube amplifier. It outshines for classic rock, alternative rock and raw metal bands due to its rocking power and road-worthy reliability. This highly powerful amplifier comes equipped with massive 120-watts of shear power and a 2 channel vintage designed EQ section (with Bass, Mid and Treble) and reverb.

The Bugera 6260’s classic 2-channel preamp design (Clean, Crunch, Lead) is loaded with 5 x 12AX7 valves for precision attack with terrorizing gain and punch. Both channels offer a classic (Peavey 5150 -style) presence control for more redefined tweaking capabilities to add more to the incredible tone. In addition, you will revere the detail in the defined reverb tails individually controllable on each channel. Two outputs with added impedance switching to match virtually any speaker cabinet, from 4, 8 to 16 Ohms.

This monster comes with a 4-way, rugged, metal footswitch selector. Making switching channels and effects loop in a live situation a smooth progress. This boutique-style valve head is constructed using precision assembly, hand-built for perfection, you can be confident the beast will stand the test of time. Use double hum buckers and play metal or use single coils and play blues for more of a mellow and a clean sound, you can use this amp in any diverse situation. Best of all, it keeps up with your loud audience of hungry fans while it maintains excellent clarity.

Experiment your sound with the Bugera 6260, swap out the 12AX7 preamp V1 or V2 to a 12DW7 to cut back on the gain… Want more gain? Throw in a JJ high-gain 12AX7. It is a nice mix with the bass being so tight for chunky rhythm. — The two channels, blue (clean) and razor (distortion. Gain, Bass, Bass, Treble and Level for the first channel, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, Level, for the second). The Bugera uses four hand-selected and matched Bugera 6L6 power-tubes and five Bugera 12AX7 preamp valves.

Bugera 6260’s boost channel is insane with the master volume krank-driving the tubes and pushing the 6260 to the edge of flesh peeling delight. Stereo effects loop is also a nice benefit for the Bugera 6260. Using the Blue side with the “green” channel on the pedal will give a pronounced silky tone with a little edge. Switch to the razor, crank the bass, scoop the mids, drive the gain and the Bugera turns into a massive Godsmack type territory. Run ovation through the blue channel, giving the tone a nice little grunge. Best part, Bugera 6260 isn’t a noisy amp (or this might be a flaw for you (vintage head enthusiasts)

Bottom line, the Bugera 6260 has a brutal range raw metal tones. A hefty fuzz tone, and usable cleans. 120-watts of insane power provides plenty of head room and more than enough for two 4×12 speaker cabinets to enthrall a huge audience at a live gig. Road-worthy dependability and priced for a gigging musician… And still enough cash left over for a pack of guitar strings and a case of beer.

10 Costly Sound Proofing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Stereo Vintage Articles No Comments

Mistake 1: Hiring an Expensive Acoustical Consultant

Most people should be able to isolate and solve noise problems themselves without ever retaining an acoustical consultant.

If you are considering a consultant, unless you have a big budget, it’s important to do a little homework and learn something about your noise problems and how they might be solved.

A consultant will approach any problem you have in a very scientific and systematic fashion. There is nothing wrong this except that it is time consuming and consultants bill by the hour. Also acoustical consultants are not cheap. So rather than having a highly paid professional sniffing around trying to determine the source of your problem, roll up your sleeves and do some detective work yourself. You can crawl around in a basement or ceiling or meet with your neighbors in an attempt to determine sources of noise pollution without spending a cent. A consultant will charge a lot of money to do these things for you.

If you do decide to bring in a consultant at some stage it will be far more cost effective if you have determined 1) the source of the noise pollution, 2) some of your options for dealing with the noise and 3) the extent to which the various noises bother you. The consultant will not know which noise causes you the most stress. You’ve got to give this careful consideration. The interesting thing about soundproofing is that because noises mask each other, removing one noise often makes another appear louder and more annoying. As you make your home more soundproof it will be quieter but ironically this will mean that you can hear other noises. You need to think carefully about these issues and draw up a noise priority list based. This list should illustrate which noise pollution impacts the most on your quality of life. Always put sleep interference at the top of your list. Noises which interfere with a good nights sleep can be the most troublesome and stressful and can impact directly on your health.

Mistake 2: Trying to Get Even With Your Noisy Neighbors

A lot of noise pollution is caused by noisy neighbors. It’s normal to assume that any neighbor who makes an annoying noise must be inconsiderate. In reality most neighbors are actually reasonable people and they might be quite unaware that they are creating a noise problem. So as a first step try having a friendly conversation with your neighbor. Use language like: I need your help with something which you are probably not even aware of. Your dog seems like a great pet and friend but sometimes he barks during the early hours of the morning and it wakes me up. I can’t get back to sleep which means I’m very tired during the rest of the day. I know it’s normal for dogs to bark – the solution might be as simple as keeping him inside or in another part of the yard at night. Do you mind if we discuss this some more, perhaps you could come over for a coffee and I’ll show you where my bedroom is and why it affects me so much.

It is important to keep the discussion friendly even though you might feel very annoyed with your neighbor. People with barking dogs are usually aware of the problem and secretly hope that no one will complain. This means that they also expect that one day they will have to do something about the issue. 

Under no circumstances should you consider retaliating by making your own noise, this will never solve the problem and could result in the police becoming involved.

Mistake 3: Buying ”Any” Soundproofing Material

There are many different types of noise pollution. The type of material and the techniques you need to use to solve your problem will require a good understanding of the exact noise source and problem. The simplest noise variables are how high pitched the sound is (e.g. bird chirping) or how deep it is (e.g. stereo sub-woofer or boom cars). Other important variables are how loud the noise seems, where it is coming from, the sorts of building material that it is passing through (e.g. windows, walls and floors) and whether the noise if continuous or intermittent. These are not difficult things to determine, but you do need to do a little homework and preparation and you certainly need to know these things before you buy any soundproofing materials.

You need to be able to describe your noise problem very clearly, know its source and know what type of solution you are seeking. You also need to know what sorts of solutions you can use e.g. do you lease your apartment and therefore must not make any permanent changes to the structure?

Mistake 4: Listening to “Wives Tales”

Beware that some materials and techniques just do not work despite the endless exposure that they seem to attract. What’s more frightening is that using the wrong material or technique could actually make your problem worse, for example some materials will actually appear to make a noise louder or change it to something even more irritating.

Aside from the obvious myths around egg crates and plastic window film which are essentially useless as soundproofing materials, other materials and techniques to be suspicious of include:

·        Old carpet

·        Cardboard

·        Special paints

·        Fibreglass batts e.g. the type used for thermal insulation

·        Rubber e.g. old rubber mattresses and floor mats

·        Any type of mattress secured to a floor or wall

·        Dry cellulose fibre pumped into walls or floors

·        Timber sheets (unless they are uncoupled)

·        Corrugated or pyramid shaped foam like the type used in recording studios – this does not stop noise passing through walls, it simply dampens noise which is already in the room.

In short you need a credible, unbiased guide to solving your noise problems. The alternative is trying to sift through the science, logic and truth behind each material and technique and then learning how and where to install the material. Even if you had the time to attempt this self education, it is a very frustrating process and there is no way of knowing whether you really have really reached the right conclusion until after you’ve completed the job. You could end up spending more time and lots of money on methods and materials which do not properly solve your problem.

Mistake 5: Coping When you are Exhausted & Annoyed

Noise pollution can drive you to despair and can literally impact on the health and happiness of you and your family. As a matter of urgency you should consider finding an immediate “compromise solution” to your problem. The most rational, cheapest and fastest compromise is a set of high tech ear plugs. People often think that I am joking when I say this. I’m not. These days it is possible to buy very comfortable and very effective high tech ear plugs which are designed to reduce significant noise. You can buy one or more pairs and start catching up on your sleep and thinking time. Once you have reclaimed your sanity you will be in a far better state of mind to embark on manageable longer term solutions to your noise pollution problems.

Mistake 6: Replacing “Float” Glass with “Laminated” Glass

Laminated glass does give some additional benefit but not as much as you might think. In addition laminated glass is expensive. You would actually achieve a much better effect if you left the existing sheet of glass in your window and secured a second slightly thicker piece of normal (float) glass to your window frame with an air cavity of an inch or two between the two panes. A four inch (100mm) separation between the sheets of glass and some moisture absorbing powder in the cavity gives excellent results and can be done on a budget. This technique is definitely easier than replacing existing window glass with a new laminated pane.

Mistake 7: Complaining to Local Authorities about the Noise

I hate to say it, but most things involving complaints to Local Authorities are time consuming, costly, demoralising and often get you no closer to solving your problem. Anyone who has ever locked horns with any type of bureaucracy will tell you that even when you have a valid complaint the bureaucracy will take forever to do anything. In the meantime you still have to put up with the noise problem and you get more and more stressed and feel more and more like you have lost control over your private world.

I’ve heard of people who have been asked by local Council to keep a diary of their noise problem for a whole year! Unfortunately most organisations like local government or even the police do not have the noise measuring equipment or proper understanding of noise and environmental laws to properly enforce them anyway.

So instead, put all of your energy into things that you have control over and look for quick wins which will build your confidence and restore your quality of life. The ear plug advice in Mistake No. 5 is a simple example of a quick and inexpensive win over annoying noise pollution. 

Mistake 8: Taking A “Best Guess” on Installation Techniques

Even if you have bought effective soundproofing material, most of the effectiveness of the material will actually come from correct installation.

There are two installation considerations:

1) Correctly securing the soundproofing material.

A common reason why soundproofing material fails is because it is not properly isolated from the surfaces which are transmitting the problem noise. For example many people purchase floating floors in an attempt to reduce noise transmission between levels. This often fails because the floating floor is not adequately isolated from the original floor. Floating floor manufactures usually provide a cheap thin membrane to put down on the existing floor before installing the floating floor. The manufactures usually assure you that you are doing the right thing. Sadly it seems few floating floor retailers know very much about soundproofing. What’s more it seems that few retailers of any of the products commonly used in soundproofing systems really have a good understanding of soundproofing science and the hidden traps.

2) Correctly placing the soundproofing material.

Even if the soundproofing material is correctly installed and secured, unless it is installed in the right place it might not solve the noise problem. For example a product called mass loaded vinyl (MLV) is a very effective soundproofing material. If MLV were used to reduce sound transmission between two levels of a dwelling, it would work very well if secured to the ceiling of the lower dwelling i.e. under the noisy floor but it would have poorer performance if installed on top of the noisy floor.

A great help to domestic soundproofing is reliable do-it-yourself information which is clearly laid out with simply diagrams and unbiased materials reviews.

Mistake 9: Not Following the Right SoundProofing Technique

Again this mistake relates to having reliable unbiased do-it-yourself information which is clearly laid out and which you can carefully follow.

Remember a properly placed piece of soundproofing can fail if you lose your way during the installation process. There is a lot of data to suggest that a small break in any soundproofing “system” can results in profound reduction in its performance.

This is not something you have to worry about if you are patient person and you are prepared to be careful and follow a good set of instructions. Again, more reason enough to ensure that your mind is in the right place, that you are calm and are not rushing desperately and erratically to get rid of the noise pollution. See Mistake 5.

Mistake 10: Thinking Gaps are Bad so Cavities Must be Too.

Many people believe that the secret to solving noise problems is filling or packing spaces.

It’s true that the first step in any soundproofing plan is making things airtight but this is very different to filling spaces in walls, floors or windows. The truth is air in an airtight cavity can be an excellent soundproofing “material” in certain circumstances. To make the most of air cavities their size and number need to be carefully considered.

So as with all the points raised above, be careful not to rush into pumping, pouring or packing any cavities until you are very clear what it is you are trying to achieve – but definitely aim to make all walls, doors, windows and floors airtight.
