My review on Sanyo's DVD-SL40 DVD slimline DVD player

Outputs

Outputs include a coaxial digital out, standard audio/video output jacks, S-Video output and component video output jacks.

Faceplate & Remote

The front plate is simple and lacks a LCD info screen, but all the onscreen displays make up for that. The remote is simple, takes 2 AA batteries and is a bulky in features.

Features

As for media it played all the CDs and DVDs I could throw at it. All DVD movies played perfectly, weather it was backed up or homemade from SVCD files. All SVCD's on many different brands of cheap and pricy CDR worked flawlessly, MP3 DVD and CD discs read and played amazingly with ID3 tag support on the bottom of the simple browser window. Although you can not browse the selections while your playing a song. This player also supports Kodak Picture CD and does have Progressive Scanning for better quality on your HD system.

I was unable to test any RW material, or raw picture files.

*sidenote*

At the time of writing this, I am unable to find any information on this player. I have searched the sanyo website with no luck and am unable to find any legitimate website that has good information and/or pricing.

Overall

This player stands to be one of the best out-of-the-box slimlines I have used to date. Playing anything and everything I Could throw at it with a quiet drive and packed with useful features this player gets a 5/5.

Pros

-Plays VCD/SVCD/DVD-SVCD/DVD/JPG/MP3/CDR/DVD+R/DVD-R

-Quiet load

-Slimline appearance

-Plenty of features

Cons

-No LCD display on player

-unable to play new compressed formats

-could use more output ports(optical audio out)

-Lacks batteries & S-video cable in packaging

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
