Pretty good sound, rugged and reliable.......2007-12-17
I've had a pair of PRO-88W wireless rigs for several years now. They've been dropped, kicked, and rained on -- and they still work. Sound quality is fine for 99% of all live video work, and with two channels available I can and often do wire up two people, then run the outputs either into a low-cost cam's stereo mini-jack input through a stereo adapter "Y" or into the balanced XLR inputs on my Sony A1U (with separately-purchased adapter cables).
Caveat: I've never had static or interference problems with the xmtrs within 25' of the cam. Beyond that, you take your chances. I have a $400 UHF mic for that kind of situation -- but I rarely use it.
If you regularly need much more range than 25' or so, spend the extra $$ for UHF, because all VHF units have the same interference problem. Otherwise, get two Pro88s, a spare mic or two (almost any mini-plug condenser mic works, lav or handheld), extra clips and LOTS of windscreens (Radio Shack has super-cheap lavalier windscreens), because these little parts will eventually break or get lost even if you secure them with tape (as I do).
Another thing to get = rechargeable 9V batteries & charger. These things don't chew up batteries quickly, but I like to start every shoot with everything fully charged "just in case." With fresh charges all the time, if someone leaves a unit on all day by mistake, no problem.
Even with a handheld mic, wireless is convenient *and* eliminates the possibility of your "talent" tugging a cord and knocking a tripod over. And the (somewhat arbitrary and perhaps too conservative) 25' range restriction should only rarely be a problem; almost the only times I find myself farther than 20' from subjects is at live concerts and other events, in which case I'm usually either pulling sound directly from a PA or working with a pair of heavy-duty, "music quality," phantom-powered, wired mics on stands that feed directly into my XLR inputs.
UNreliable; Noise galore!.......2007-11-01
The audio is full of noise at times for seemingly no reason.
My pre-shoot tests were A-OK (probably because my subject was only a few feet away; long distance tests weren't a luxury), then the wedding began.
At first the groom was at the other end of the big church.
I had lots of static pops at varying degrees, all of which had constant noise, but that was almost expected at that distance with such a cheap wireless VHF mic. But then the ceremony began so the subject was only about 30 feet away, and I got static pops and varying degrees of noise off and on (mostly on) throughout the ceremony with an often motionless mic'd groom. It was a miracle that the vows came out ok (acceptable low noise), because that was really the only moment where I absolutely needed the wireless mic. When there is no noise (very close quarters) the R35 mic provides acceptable audio but definitely not professional grade quality. I guess there are other more expensive Pro88 models available with a better mic, however the whole point of going wireless is the freedom to have good, clean, consistent audio of a roaming subject. This wireless mic system doesn't provide that with any amount of reliability. With the amazing achievements in affordable wireless technology like cell phones, wireless Internet, and blue tooth...how the hell are we still stuck with cr@ptacular low cost wireless solutions? It's like that bad Steven Seagal movie "Fire Down Below" where at the end he goes on a preachy tirade about government suppressed technology that can get 100 miles to the gallon of gas. What's this conspiracy suppressing high quality, wireless microphone technology. You can buy low cost, HIGH quality video camcorders that destroy the equivalent prosumer technology a decade earlier. Why can't we get such achievements in wireless audio? Or even wired audio for that matter. It shouldn't cost an arm and a leg to buy goood audio equipment.
I cannot recommend this product. However, I don't have a quality low cost alternative to recommend either. There's the Azden WLX-pro/WMS-pro, but I read negative reviews for that product too. It seems that with these cheap wireless mic reviews, when it rains it pours on the negative results.
Very good for the price........2007-10-22
For what this thing costs, it's a great piece of equipment. The first time we used it, we got to the filming location early and did a sound check at various places throughout the room, and we were glad we did. We found a few areas we needed to avoid because something (possibly on the floor above us) was causing bad reception. But knowing that, we simply avoided those areas and got nice, clean audio.
risky.......2007-08-23
I was hoping to avoid the big price tag of a UHF system and got the 88W instead. I wish I hadn't. The initial tests were promising, until I walked further from the reciever, and had some small obsticles between the two units. I began to pickup static that switching between the two channels didn't change. A day or so later, I used it in the field and had the same static problem even when I was well within the suggested range. And again, changing frequencies didn't help at all. Perhaps this is the nature of an FM system vs. a UHF system. And while I saved hundreds of dollars in going with the 88W, I'm afraid to use it most of the time, making this a hundred bucks wasted instead of four hundred saved. Of course it doesn't always do this. And when it works, it is great. It's larger size, compared to the top of the line UHF models, is'nt anything I couldn't live with. But its range and susceptability to interference is a big drawback.
good wireless audio.......2007-07-18
after receiving the item have used it in a wedding event.The audio sounds good even in a 200 ft. distance. The quality of the audio is still at its best.

Grandkids TV.......2007-12-26
Great TV for the price. Built-in DVD player is a real plus. I bought one for each grandkid and they love it. Picture quality isn't that of a SONY, but good enough for guest rooms and video games on a 15" TV in this price range.
Great TV for price.......2007-12-26
We bought this TV/DVD combo for our daughter & it has a great picture. We are very happy with our purchase of this product.
Sylvania 15" HDTV.......2007-12-23
My wife purchased this TV for a limited space in the kitchen. To receive HDTV we have to rent a box from the cable company. The rental box is too large to fit into the remaining space in the kitchen, so when the switch-over to the new TV transmission takes place, this set will be obsolete.
In The Repair Shop.......2007-12-10
I bought this "Sylvania LD-155sl8 15" LCD HDTV with Built-In-DVD Player" on 9/10/07 and it arrived at my home on 9/13/07.
I had it for 48 days and it stopped working, no picture, no sound, nothing.
On 10/31/07, I shipped the Television ($40.00 shipping costs) to the nearest authorized "FUNAI" service center for repairs and it arrived to them on 11/1/07.
The service center diagnosed the problem, a "Main PC Board" and the Service Center placed an order for the replacement part with FUNAI on 11/6/07.
Today, I am still without the Television.
I watched it for 48 days and the Television has been in the Service Center for 40 days waiting for a replacement part.
I contacted the Corporate Office for help and nothing but, a bunch of excuses!
I will not buy another FUNAI product, based on their lack of urgency to delivery parts to the Service Center.
Great small tv, excellent picture.......2007-12-06
This is a perfect tv for my kitchen. The sound quality is fine, size is perfect, picture is excellent. DVD is a handy feature, and although I've only used it once, it seems to work well. I'm thinking of getting another of these for a different room.
