Every era has its own counterpart, from the large, small tape drives that swept the market in the early days, to the ephemeral CD players that later became popular. Powerful player. But as a post- 80s tape and CD are definitely mentors who bring us into the music world. Although I do not know whether students who like to study now use a repeater with a hand-held device to learn English, whether children who do not like to learn still have a Walkman in their waist. But when we were young, this was a sign of learning talent and fashion.
Well, not much talk nonsense, now say this Newman DVD player.
1. Out of the box introduction:
The delivery was very fast, and it took about three days before and after, but it was delayed because of a small mistake.
The packaging is still very simple and the head is still a bit big.
The top floor is also quiet with a remote control and power adapter ; the bottom layer is where the player host and accessory pouches are located. The accessory pouches have manuals, warranty cards, and AV cables and audio cables. Even USB extension cables are available. It was too full, and I was a little flattered by the young master.
Box contents
2. Product appearance introduction
Talk about the appearance of the product: I have a wife, the wife is so evaluation of this machine: good dazzle. The author also has a bunch of colleagues, this team of colleagues is also like the appearance of love. Indeed, the shape of the sports car brings a different visual experience. Although I prefer the Lamborghini's car, it does not affect me to see that this machine does have several Bugatti Veyrons. Because of the ability to play tapes and CDs at the same time, placing two bins in front and behind can also reflect Newman's practical convenience in considering the user's practical design. Of course, the left and right display can also be very convenient for the user, but I believe that because of the asymmetrical two warehouses, it is not accepted in the aesthetic field. It is difficult for hin to take photos of the United States and the United States. Of course, there are still some flaws in the design and player mold processing.
A comparison chart of a home vintage player
Let's talk about the specific details of the concept
Display:
The display effect of the display screen can be said to be a relatively large defect of the player. The viewing angle is small, and the contrast is poor. Only when facing up, can the player's current information be clearly seen, and other angles can be seen. Display presets.
It is difficult to see the actual display of the screen
 The top view is still relatively clear
Remote keyboard:
The function of the remote keyboard is very powerful, so I have not understood many functions, especially programming and setting two functions are more difficult to understand. It's only time is too tight. It can't be fully studied in a short period of time and it will slowly be discovered in the future. The overall operation comfort of the remote control is still very good, but the individual feels that the infrared receiver of the player should be set more reasonable and can better receive the signals of the remote controller.
Interfaces and buttons:
The back of the fuselage are the AV interface, audio input interface, power interface and power button, the left side is the USB and SD card slot, and the right side is the headphone hole and volume adjustment dial. According to the experience after use, it was found that the key stroke of the tape drive was too large, and the mold processing was a bit rough ; the sensor buttons on the side lacked aesthetic feeling in appearance design, and it was easy to cause confusion in operation. I do not know whether to press or press the button. It's a bit small and it is prone to accidental touch; the underlying function keys will show a little stiff when pressed and restored during use, or there is room for improvement.
Handle:
After lifting the handle, it was found that the body is not in a horizontal state, and I do not know whether the front and rear weights of the body were inconsistent because the battery was not placed. After lifting the handle, you can see the position of several cooling holes of the machine. This kind of hole design makes people feel a bit guilty. When the handle is not raised, the cooling hole is completely blocked, and the cooling effect is not achieved. When lifting the handle, the entire circuit board and the internal structure are exposed. In particular, the CD compartment is not closed. This may cause a large amount of dust to enter the inside of the airframe and even drop into the water droplets.
Volume adjustment: There are two kinds of volume adjustment test, one is to adjust the volume through the side volume knob, and the other is to adjust through the volume of the keyboard +- buttons. During actual use, it was found that the remote control adjustment is performed step by step according to a fixed size, and the dial can be finely adjusted. The volume of the boot, the volume of the radio, and the volume of various prompts of the system can only be adjusted by the knob.
3 actual use process and feel
The following is my preparation for testing machines
Tape drive experience
The tapes used were music and audio tapes more than a decade ago. In the old age problem, the individual’s sound quality was acceptable, and it was almost the same as that of a decade ago, but personally feels the comfort of the physical buttons. It is a little lacking , and the strokes that are pressed are relatively large. Many times and long-time use will make people feel tired. After the fast forward and rewind function buttons are pressed, there will be a delay of about two seconds before they start to rotate.
CD/DVD experience
The feeling that CD brings to me is still very good, the sound quality is awe-inspiring, the EQ equalizer of the player is done very well, the common six kinds of sound modes have, and their own feelings are different. However, in the course of use, there is a small BUG . When one disc is not finished listening, two songs are looped. However, this situation cannot be reproduced. The DVD playback function is not much different from that of the VCD player ten years ago, and it is not much improved. The same is the input of the three-colored AV line. The disc quality used ten years ago cannot be used for commentary. After years of popularity of high-definition video, VCD/DVD 's picture can't really look directly at.
This is in contrast to the boot screen of a DVD player at home , both of which are extremely grainy. This is why this type of machine is being eliminated by now HD video.
After the disc is put into the player, the player will automatically read the disc, and the remote control can be stopped or the body stop button can be retired to a simple menu operation interface.
The entire operation interface is not very simple, roughly the operation such as the start of the browsing of the contents of the optical disc.
Radio experience:
The radio, when the family was in a difficult economic period, the black and white TV in the home was bad for three or four years. When the family was eating, they depended on him to understand various news and current affairs. The radio function of this player has already achieved the functions of automatic station search and radio station saving. This is a common practice of electronic products with radio functions. However, there is a disadvantage in that the volume of the radio cannot be adjusted by using a remote controller. It is unknown. My fault with this platform was not taken into consideration in design. It is more difficult to take out the antenna of the radio, and there is a relatively large looseness between the antenna and the body.
Transcription:
Transcription this function is very good, you can put the CD  → tape /U disk /SD card, magnetic tape→ USB flash drive /SD card, radio→tape /U disk /SD card, when the CD is transcribed, the individual finds that the sound is still good when transcribing to U disk /SD card , but when transcribed to tape, it may be due to disturbances caused by electric currents in the motor or the machine. The post-transcriptional sound is not very good. In particular , I thought that the transcription function only records the sound emitted. As a result, I was wrong. The transcribed audio was not affected by the external sound source and the volume of the player itself. Therefore, several songs from Daolang were transcribed into the MP3 format. It should be noted that the process from the start of transcription to the end of the transcription produces a file. If you want to separate each song, you need to perform multiple operations. The recording button needs to be pressed for 1 to 2 seconds before the recording is valid. I do not know whether there is a problem with the design or the response of the button.
Reread:
The repeat function should be the most used function in learning English in the student's day. The function operation maintains the original mode. Press the repeat function to start repeat playback and press the audio between repeat functions. It is somewhat confusing that when the repeat button is pressed and the playback button is resumed, the player will begin to repeat and begin to play two prompts, which is inevitably a bit weird and tasteless.
U disk player
There is a DVD/USB/SD below  Press the key, in other modes can be quickly switched between the three, which experience the main function of the player or for the use of these three to design.
 Audio input:
In other words, the player can be used as a speaker for a mobile phone or a computer. After all, Newman is an old manufacturer of players, and the efforts and efforts in sound quality and sound effects are still worthy of recognition.
The last point of the function description, using USB as a computer speaker using this function is not reflected in the winxp/win7 system, this description is relatively simple, after several tests and no audio output.
4 advantages and disadvantages:
advantage:
1. Beautiful and modern in appearance, it does not seem to fit in with the modern home life.
2. A product with multiple functions, a tape player, an optical disc player, an MP3 player, a repeater and a radio, can solve the problem of multiple playback devices for various media.
3. The transcription function is very good, providing a good way for some nostalgic people to save the audio of the previous tape or disc.
4. After all, the old company, the player's sound quality and effect is still very commendable.
Disadvantages:
1. The display screen As the player's biggest flaw is a bit disappointing, there should be a big improvement in the viewing angle and contrast of the screen.
2. On the exterior design, the CD storage room was not completely closed, and the location of the cooling holes was not reasonable. These two points are not satisfactory.
3. The work on the details of the mold can be seen to be rough.
4. On the basis of the built-in operation, comfort can also be improved, whether the position of the power button is to move to the front.
5. There is no built-in rechargeable battery.
5. Suggested summary
It is hoped that the next generation of products will be more intelligent and can provide WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.
Generally speaking, this product is still very good, and its function is comprehensive, the cost is still very high, after all, a collection of a variety of player features, for some nostalgic people can play the previous tape, the high sound quality requirements People can play high-quality CDs and they are also a good product for the aunts who dance square dance. The weight is ten times lighter than most portable speakers nowadays. The volume and sound effects are not too bad. For those who are learning English now, the repeat function is also a good option. Combined with their own needs, these products are still worth buying.
