Pros:
Single unit integrates multiple media types. Includes five loudspeakers. Impressive onscreen display. Secondary display. Wired and wireless (802.11g) connections.
Cons:
Lacks Windows Media support. No onscreen album art. No music with slide shows. Price may be a bit high for what you get. No audio CD lookup. PC must be on to play streaming media from network hard disk. Speaker power attainable only at extremely high distortion levels.
Bottom Line:
One box merges the past, present, and future of entertainment: AM/FM, CD, MP3 CD, and DVD, plus streaming music, photos, and video from your PC. While it has an excellent on-screen (TV) display plus useful system display, it still needs Windows Media support, on-screen album art, and a few other tweaks, though most should be available as firmware downloads.
