Multi canal sound system on your PC is not something new anymore. Even the onboard sound card also supports the majority’s sound system up to 8 channels. Of course, to feel the sensation, the user must also use the speakers that support multikanal. Of the many manufacturers that produce PC speakers speakers multikanal, Edifier is one that presents speakers format 5.1.

Edifier DA5000 Pro comes with the concept of home theater. This can be seen from a very nice design and fit when placed in a bedroom or living room. However, please note that, these speakers will simply take up space on your desk. DA5000 Pro 5.1 format brings fruit 5 satellites and a subwoofer. All the control center is in its subwoofers. But do not worry because there are sebuat remote control to allow you to control this device. The arrangement itself is complete, which is setting the tone for the treble, mid, and bass. Also available is a selection effect modes such as Movie, Music, Normal, which can be selected according to conditions.

Test we did for DA5000 Pro begins by playing music. The resulting sound pretty good. Initially a high tone on the satellite sound a little sharp. But with the decrease of 2 levels, this issue is resolved. Next, we continue to play the movie. In return the sound to the default settings, the sound really solid. Bass was capable of stomping his chest, while the high tones create an atmosphere to feel alive. While the dialogue is produced with good character and certainly by his center speaker. The only unfortunate thing is the unavailability of a digital connection.

HTC is becoming synonymous with Android. HTC is the world’s first Android phone released in 2008 and through HTC Dream. Now the Magic, HTC became the first release of Android phone in Indonesia.

From the HTC Dream, Magic inherited form of the panel is bent under the touch screen. Only, this curve is smoother. Similarly, the use of a resistive touch screen and trackball for navigation purposes. But the biggest difference is the Magic did not have a QWERTY keyboard so that the whole process input using the touch screen measuring 3.1 inches.

Overall, his appearance looks simple. There’s only port like a mini-USB-bottom and side volume keys on the left body. It should be noted, a mini USB port similar to that also functions as an audio plugs, so you can not use the 3.5 mm audio devices.

Like the iPhone, Magic uses resistive touch screen. As a result, the process of typing a type using the finger without the need for the stylus. But the screen does not support multitouch, so you can not zoom-in by pinching movements like the iPhone.

Like the gadget without a keyboard, writing SMS on the HTC Magic do need exercise. Fortunately, HTC provides a special feature of the vibration when we pressed a letter. At least, this makes us feel a little physical effect when typing SMS. But again, it takes time for us to get used to it.

Magic interface itself is simple and easy to use. As the main screen, available Home Screen with shortcuts to key applications such as browsers and Contacts. When the screen “swiped” to the left or right, a new screen will appear. By default, a blank screen while the left and right home screen includes a Google Search bar. As for seeing the entire application, you just push the arrow in the bottom.

Shortcut and widgets can be added or removed. To add, just push the menu button, push Add, and then push Shortcuts, Widgets or Folders. A more practical way is to open the main menu, push-hold icon to the main menu to close itself, and then remove the icon is on home screen. To remove from the home screen, push-hold for a moment appeared the picture icon to the trash can at the bottom of the screen, then drag the icon into the trash. (more…)

Legria Canon HF200 with three color shades of light gray, dark gray, and this shiny black fits perfectly in our right hand. Contour the body and strap it to make us comfortable holding it.

Rounded muzzle showing planted zoom lens features optical lens-shift image stabilization. This lens has a cover (cover) built-in. Once the power button (on / off) is pressed, the cover will automatically open / close. Optically long zoom, achieving 15x or equivalent to 39.5 to 592.5 mm sufficient to handle anything, from a close-up until the shooting telephoto.

Many facilities that package in double HF200: a video camera and digital camera. For example Dual Shot, which is none other than Auto mode (in the Canon digital camera called the Easy mode)? Here all the video settings and images – taken over by the camcorder. Just time press the Video button to record a video, then press the photo button to take pictures without the need to move mode.

Another interesting facility is the Face Detection. A maximum of 35 faces can be detected (but are shown only 9) on the video and camera modes. Face Detection his steady, can recognize human faces and animals; from front or side with the good.

Oh yes, 2.7-inch LCD, it is vital here, because it is not equipped with the HF200 viewfinder. This bright screen, and could be raised the level of brightness by pressing the button on the panel in Disp. Sadly, this LCD is not touch screen.

Instead of a touch screen, presented a frame / touch panel. In the bottom of the LCD frame we will see four boxes, each one to set the display on the LCD: Start (Play) / Stop (Pause), Wide / Stop, Tele / play lists, and Camera / Play. Meanwhile in the left frame there is a controller (joystick) with 4-way center button labeled Set. Beneath it is a key func (tion).

We also try to record video in the room. Typically, the video recording in the room is less satisfying: the image is less sharp due to the lighting conditions are poor. The highest mode is offered MPX (24Mbps), which with SDHC card V-Gen Class 4 32GB innate, can record video 2 hours 35 minutes. Or if the mode is set to the lowest (5Mbps – LP), we can record over 10 hours.

HF200 was quite good in the room. The focus is relatively quick. Meanwhile, to help the lighting, we can turn on the lights in the front left side. Quality video (files ending in. MOD) looks good, clear, sharp with colors that fairly accurate. It still looks a little noise, but this is normal.

Recording audio / video accompanying the voice is also strong and clear. But the sound of wind rustling come recorded, though we have activated the feature Wind Screen. Oh yes, Legria Canon HF200 is equipped with a microphone-level regulatory control sound level (in the form of bar charts), Wind Screen and Mic Attenuator. Our suggestion, to get the sound really clear and clean, uses an external microphone.

What if out of the room? This is usually good, as seen in our recordings. However, we note a slight Ghosting effect when recording fast-moving subjects. Also looked a little shadow on the subject that is very bright.

These recordings are interlaced. Canon to record at the rate of 60i, and simulate 30fps and 24fps modes.

We also tested the camera mode. As in the video mode, fast focus response. Image quality, 3.3 mega pixel resolutions, looks good; sharp and clear. 15x optical zoom is also nice and smooth functioning.

Like any ordinary digital camera, we can play through the effects of color image and digital effects. To affect Image, Canon provides a choice of Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Soft Skin Detail, and Custom Effects. As for digital effects available Black & White (E1) and Sepia (E2).

Honestly, we liked Legria Canon HF200. Nice and lightweight handheld, easy to use, and quality of photos and video tapes pretty. Quite durable batteries and it only takes 2 hours 2 minutes for a refill. This camcorder really suitable for anyone, from the air until they are diving hobby. Armed with underwater casing (optional) Legria Canon HF200 records can be used under water to depths of 40 meters, after all the settings (except zoom) conducted on the ground.
