- E-Z Set chip set features automatic setting of the time, day, date and month.
- Automatically adjusts for daylight savings time
- Alarm can be set for weekday only, weekend only, or everyday settings
- Separate displays for time, date and day of the week
- Stylish aluminum and silver metallic finish
|
Product Description
The E-Z Set clock radio could just as well be called the "Never-Set." That's because its built-in computer chip will automatically update all time changes for nearly a century. Plug it in and the E-Z Set instantaneously adjusts to the correct year, month, date, day, and time. The only thing you have to set is your time zone. After that, all your settings are held, even if the AC power source is interrupted. This unit has a nice look, manageable size, and a great display that includes a dimmer with high/low settings. At a glance you'll know the time, date, and weekday. Since the E-Z Set self-adjusts for Daylight Savings and leap year, you'll never wake again wondering what the day, date, or time is. Dual independent alarms offer flexible wake options. For each alarm, you can choose from weekday, weekend, or everyday wake modes, as well as radio or buzzer alarm options. The E-Z Set's snooze lets you slumber in nine-minute increments for up to an hour, and its snooze bar is easy to access. Another handy feature is the programmable sleep timer. Set to your preference (up to 90 minutes) and drift to sleep to the built-in radio. The AM/FM tuner includes a one-touch on/off button, tuning scale, band selector, and thumbwheel controls for tuning and volume. It has one speaker, positioned at the back, with monaural output. This unit is primarily a clock radio--don't expect high-fidelity speaker performance here. H.H. Scott designed the E-Z Set with an eye for ease, and indeed, most programming buttons are intuitive and accessible. One exception is the dual alarms' selector switch, which we found awkward to use and poorly spaced. Additionally, the sleep timer button could be larger. Despite these quibbles, however, this clock radio is notable for its ease of use--you shouldn't find yourself reaching for the user's guide very often. To complete the package, the E-Z Set comes with a great power-failure system that relies on and includes a 3-volt lithium battery, which should last from three to five years. And, as added backup, you can always manually set the clock. H.H. Scott includes a limited one-year parts and labor warranty. --Heidi Wartelle Pros: - Always on time and self-adjusts for Daylight Savings and leap year
- Informative display; time, date, and weekday are available at a glance
- Dual alarms offer flexible weekday, weekend, or daily setting options
Cons: - Alarm selector switch is awkward to use and spaced too closely to other buttons
- Sleep timer is almost indistinguishable from other programming buttons

Product Description
Delphi's potent and pocket-friendly SA10000 XM SKYFi satellite radio receiver flits easily between home and car and puts XM Radio's wealth of music, sports, and news offerings at your fingertips, whether you're accessing the service's 100-plus channels via the receiver's stylish faceplate or through the supplied remote control. We found the receiver's display and controls well laid out and easy to navigate. More importantly, XM's radio service is every bit as enjoyable as its hardware is simple. Use of the receiver requires a paid monthly subscription to XM Satellite Radio ($9.95 per month, no contract required). You'll also need either a car or a home docking apparatus such as the Delphi SA10002 XM SKYFi vehicle kit or the Delphi SA10034 XM Portable CD audio boombox (whose use is by no means limited to the home). The receiver pulls in the signal, while a docking station provides DC power and traditional features like speakers, headphone jacks, and antennas, depending on the accessory. For this review we used the XM portable boombox. It bears repeating: the SA10000 receiver will produce no sound without an ancillary listening device. The XM service offers good music with minimal repetition whichever direction you turn, all conveniently arranged by category or by channel. Using the remote's display button, you can even view the artist or the name of the song currently playing as you scroll past stations. XM's channels break down into 68 music channels (all of them commercial free), 33 channels of news (ABC, CNN, Fox, and a host of other mainstream networks), sports (led by 2 ESPN and 2 NASCAR channels), talk, and entertainment (Discover, E!, others), as well as instant traffic and weather updates for 21 major U.S. metropolitan areas. Within the major music categories--rock, "hits" (pop), country, jazz/blues, and urban--subgenres abound, offering many exciting places to revisit classics and discover new favorites. Notably anomalies are channels devoted to new age (Audio Visions), progressive-rock/jazz fusion (XM Music Lab), rock bands lacking record contracts (Unsigned), and great moments and music from films (Cinemagic). There's even a channel for Starbucks' excellent HEAR Music, centered on jazz musicians and singer-songwriters and the musicians who inspired them. Underserved are classical music (3 channels cover orchestral music, vocal music, and single movements of larger works), children's music (teens may enjoy Disney radio, but XM Kids is just plain soggy), world music (7 channels, 4 of which are Latin and 1 of which is devoted to music from Jamaica), and--most surprisingly--electronica. XM's dance and electronic music leans heavily on beats, going mainstream with hip acts like Royksopp, Moby, and Zero 7. The receiver offers 20 station presets (2 banks of 10) and 10 memory settings, which recall artist, song, and station after the fact so you can make notes or hunt out CDs later. To evaluate XM's sound quality we fed the headphone output from the SA10034 boombox to an integrated amplifier and speaker setup. Quality proved remarkably consistent channel to channel. Relative to our CDs and MP3 music files, the quality of the XM service sounds closest to 128 kbps MP3--wholly listenable and usually downright enjoyable, if not as smooth, full-bodied, and detailed as linear (uncompressed) CD sound. Bass is decent--a little hyped on rock material, like FM radio--and the treble frequencies sound natural and free from most of the artifacts often heard in lossy digital compression. XM's classical programming sounds even better than its rock programming, with fewer artifacts and a wider stereo soundstage. Better than FM? For its silky background quiet and slightly wider dynamic range, we'd have to say yes. --Michael Mikesell Pros: - Simple setup
- Excellent sound quality
- Great indoor reception
- Consistent audio quality, station to station
- Commercial-free music channels
- Excellent pop and alternative-rock selection
- Dedicated progressive-rock/fusion channel
- Deep country/folk, urban/R&B, and jazz/blues offerings
- Includes a new-age channel
- Localized traffic and weather updates
Cons: - Not usable without ancillary hardware (a headphone jack would be nice)
- No NPR (though XM Public Radio is a good approximation)
- Minimal electronica coverage
- Limited classical selection
- Weak children's offering

|
Product Description
The DGX500AD is the top-of-the-line product in Yamaha's new Portable Grand series. This keyboard is very much like the DGX300AD, with almost all functions available on any other Yamaha keyboard, including the Yamaha Educational suite, 619 voices, and a built-in sequencer and built-in floppy drive. The DGX500AD is different from the DGX300AD in that it has 88 piano-size keys (the same number of keys you find on a real piano), and it comes with a sustain pedal and a keyboard stand. Also like the DGX300AD, the DGX500AD is incredibly easy to use despite its massive functionality--and while the DGX500AD is large in size, it weighs just enough to make it readily portable. Depending on the preference of the user, the DGX500AD may have a few drawbacks. The keys on the DGX500AD are supposed to be "weighted," meaning that the keys will have the feel of real piano keys. However, I found very little, if any, weight at all to these keys. While the piano-size keys are much nicer to play than more inexpensive synthesizer keys, these keys still did not feel like real piano keys. The quality of the speakers was a bit disappointing as well; the speaker quality on the DGX500AD was better than the DGX300AD, but interestingly enough not as good as the DGX200AD. The sound on this keyboard was not very full and had a kind of tinny and weak quality to it. Overall, the DGX500AD is a good keyboard for the price. If having all 88 keys is not as important to you, I would recommend going for the DGX300AD, with 76 keys, and if you do not need the built-in floppy drive, you may opt for the DGX200AD, also with 76 keys. --Chris Fresolone Pros: - Easy to use
- 88 piano-size keys
- Maximum functionality, including a built-in sequencer and floppy drive
- Includes sustain pedal and keyboard stand (no clearing off desks or tables to make room!)
- Easily connects with a computer or other MIDI device
- 619 voices
- Entertaining educational tools
- A nice-looking instrument, with wood trim
Cons: - The keys do not have much "weight" to them
- Manageable, but rather large
- Tinny, weak sound quality from the speakers

Product Description
The DGX300AD is the second in Yamaha's top-of-the-line Portable Grand series. This keyboard has 76 piano-size keys, 619 voices, and contains pretty much every other function available on any other Yamaha keyboard, including Yamaha Educational Suite, lots of auto-accompaniments, and a built-in sequencer and built-in floppy drive. This keyboard is tremendously easy to use, despite many complicated features. It's portable, and will keep novice and advanced musicians busy playing and creating music for a long time. In our opinion, the sound quality from the speakers is not as good as the DGX200AD. We found the quality of the speakers on the DGX300AD on the weaker side, with the treble frequencies not as strong as the lower frequencies. The actual keys on the DGX300AD are more like piano keys than on lower-end keyboards. While still far off from feeling like real piano keys (there is not much "weight" or resistance to them at all), the keys are nice to the touch. If having a built-in floppy drive is not as important to you, we would recommend going for the DGX200AD. It also has 76 keys, but they are not the piano-sized keys. If you are interested in a full-size keyboard (88 keys), you may want to look at the DGX500AD. Overall, the DGX300AD is a full-featured keyboard with a budget-friendly price--perfect for learning and music making. --Chris Fresolone Pros: - Easy to use

- Maximum functionality, including a built-in sequencer and floppy drive
