Liteon LTR55246S Reviews

Liteon has introduced a new 52x Writer, the LTR55246S. It is surely one of the fastest riters/re-writers available today. In fact, in the Indian mar- ket, as of today, there are no CD-
Rs that can sup- port a writing speed of 52x. The maximum writ- ing speed supported by media
available today is 48x. Its build quality is pretty average. A design on sturdier lines would have been appre- ciated. It has a standard 2,048 KB buffer. The buffer underrun prevention technol- ogy used by Liteon is SMART- BURN, which is also used for the optimisation of the CD burning process, to ensure that data is written accurately on to the CD-R/CD-RW. The test was performed on a Pentium 4 2.2 GHz CPU, running on an MSI Max2 BLR motherboard, with 256 MB DDR RAM and a Radeon 8500 accelerator. In all of the tests,the Writer performed at the maximum speed that the CD-R medium would allow. Nero CD Speed reported mini- mum, verage and maxi- mum speeds of 24.24x, 39.34x and 41.31x, respectively. There weren’t any hitches at any stage of the other tests either, proving the quality and capability of the Writer.
What’s more, at Rs 5,145, it’s a pretty good deal as well. Considering it is one of the world’s fastest writers, that’s not a bad price at all. If you happen to have a raging fast machine that can support the data speeds required by this CD-Writer, then by all means, go for it.

SPECIFICATIONS :
Write/re-write/read speed: 52x/24x/52x, 2,048 KB buffer, SMART-BURN technology for
optimum writing, includes Nero - Burning ROM v 5.5.

Mercury HT 5800R Home Theatre 5.1 Channel System Reviews

Though this 5.1 channel system has a 5,800 watts PMPO, it has only 25 watts RMS for the satel-lites and 50 watts RMS for the subwoofer. The RMS power gives you an idea about the actual sound output that the system can achieve without distortion, whereas the PM PO output indicates the maximum out-put achievable by the system, albeit with distortions. The wires are long enough,and speaker stands and wall mountings are provided as well. One shortcoming is the ridiculously short power sup-ply wire. The system provides good performance and at Rs 7,000, it offers good value for money. The subwoofer is quite powerful and you can crank up the volume with-out experiencing too much distortion. If you’re looking to own a 5.1 speaker sys-tem, but are constrained by your budget, the Mercury HT 5800R offers a decent enough solution. How- ever, if you cannot settle for anything less than perfectsound, give this one a miss... SPECIFICATIONS : Four satellites at 25 W RMS, one subwoofer at 50 W RMS, w...

Mercury HT-4500 Reviews

The HT-4500 is a 5.1-chan-nel speaker set and each of the five satellites pumps out 6 watts RMS, while the subwoofer is capable of 20 W RMS power output. The black satellite speakers are compact and subwoofer. Also, the cable for the front channel speakers isn’t long enough for the speakers to be placed suffi-ciently far apart. The cable connecting the woofer to the soundcard is of the same colour, which can cause some confusion. The speakers give a good surround sound effect with reasonable clarity for a good home theatre experience and can also be connected directly to a DVD player. The performance in the low and mid frequencies is also good. However, the speakers are not built to listen at full well-designed, though a tad heavy. The subwoofer has the volume and fade controls on the front, which makes it dif-ficult to access these settings, as subwoofers are generally placed near the feet, with the front face ideally facing a reflecting surface. Another inconvenience is the power swi...

Che-ez Spyz Digital Camera Reviews

Spyz is slightly larger than a matchbox and comes in sil-ver and metallic blue. It bun-dles a dog tag and an USB cable, but oddly, misses the battery. The software bundle comprises the Che-ez manag-er, Arcsoft Photo Studio 2000 and the driver CD. The manual explains fea-tures such as sound beeps, LED and LCD displays very neatly. The device can take up to 26 photos in the high-resolution mode of 640 x 480 pixels, and 107 photos in the low resolu-tion mode of 320 x 240 pixels. Other features include a timer and continuous capture that turns the camera into a cam-corder. The Che-ez Manager also lets you convert frames into a movie in AVI format. The Spyz can also act as a Web camera when used with the Che-ez Manager or MS Netmeeting. However, some-times the manager does not recognise shortcut keys such as the [Alt] + [F4] combination for closing the program. The interface is also very basic and below par. The price tag may justify all the features of the Spyz, but the management software...
