design with metallic grills and protection cover. The AudioStation Express system from Logitech is your favourite music partner of your iPod MP3 player.In fact, the audio performance is remarkable all the time whether you connect it to the mains power supply or to 6 AAÂ batteries (not included).For even more versatility and comfort, the AudioStation Express system can charge your iPod even when it is on its support and enables you to even see photos and videos on television thanks to its composite video output (if your iPod manages photos/videos).In addition, its 3.5 mm audio input enables you to connect your AudioStation Express system to any MP3 player (thus the charging is not available).Simple, sleek, compact and high on performance...what more are you waiting for?

Manufacturer's product description
The HD73 looks to be another mid-range home cinema projector with its WXGA (1280 x 720) resolution, 1300 lumens, and 6000:1 contrast. However, Optoma does offer some improvements over its predecessor, the HD72, by using the new Texas Instruments DarkChip3 DLP chip which should create a much better picture.

Advantages: Great picture, little rainbow effect, good looking projector. Disadvantages: No internal speaker
...This is a really great projector, at a very impressive price (£529 on Play) - the cheapest WXGA I've seen! Many DLP projectors suffer from the "rainbow effect" but with this Optoma there is virtually no rainbow effect at all - this is due to the 4x speed colour wheel, which is faster than you would find in many other projectors. Out of the box, the picture is great. I found the yellows were maybe slightly muted but this can be adjusted by the on-screen menus. The actual projector looks very sleek - the black and silver case looks really classy - and it comes with all the inputs you could want, expect SCART, but don't worry - a SCART adapter comes in the box. Being HD ready, it's also got an HDMI port for your HD-DVD or Blu-ray. The remote is easy to use, and the buttons light up so you can see them in a darkened room. Thankfully...
