Brother MFC-5460CN Reviews

Print, scan, fax, copy and get photo prints all at a great price—seem impossible? Well, the Brother MFC-5460CN seems to be what you are looking for—at least at first look. Like all Brother MFDs, this one sports a no-nonsense, office look, with rugged build. It is quite small. At the front is a two-line, backlit LCD indicator that reports a lot of data and also lets you access the control panel menu. The input paper tray can accommodate 100 pages—just enough for a small to medium office—and the 35-page ADF tray is foldable. The printer sports a resolution of 6000 x 1200 dpi—fairly high. There are four colour cartridges, and access to these is made easy
by means of a door at the front of the unit. The flatbed scanner can scan legal-size documents. The printer supports most popular memory formats and it even has PictBridge. Connectivity is via USB and a network interface, but you will need to weave the wires through the provided channel into the heart of the device. The advantage: no accidental disconnections; disadvantage: it’s irritating, and wires may not last long due to all the twisting. The inbuilt 33.6 kbps fax can store up to 400 pages and is capable of broadcasting to up to 150 locations. The phonebook memory is 100 numbers. Printing is slow; the printer took half a minute to print a simple text document in normal mode, and it took over a minute to print the same in best mode. Print quality is decent and sharp. There is some amount of graininess in photo prints, but it’s good enough for the average home user. The copier does an excellent job. The software bundle consists of the MFL-Pro Suite (a control centre of sorts), PaperPort SE with OCR (a definite plus), and even Presto! PageManager OCR for Mac users. At its price, we can say this is a good buy, if you don’t mind waiting a bit for the print

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...
