How to Entertain Your Guinea Pig
Four Parts:Making ToysMaking Your Guinea Pig's Cage More EnjoyableProviding Fun Exercise TimeProviding Food TreatsCommunity Q&A
Guinea pigs get bored just like any other animal. Therefore, you should find ways to entertain them, such as providing toys and creating a more interesting cage. Also, providing time outside of the cage every day will give your guinea pig some exercise as well as entertain her. Finally, providing food treats will help keep her diet interesting.
Part 1
Making Toys
1Crumple up a piece of paper. Use plain paper, and crumple it into a ball. Put in your guinea pig's cage, or let her play with it when she's out. It sounds too easy, but guinea pigs like the crumpling noise and will likely gnaw on it.[1]
2Create cheap cardboard tunnels. Cut up a wrapping paper tube into short lengths. Your guinea pig will toss it around and play with it. Just be sure to cut down the side so that your guinea pig doesn't get stuck inside.[2]
3Make a stuffed sock. Find an old sock, and stuff some of the guinea pig's clean bedding material inside. Tie off the sock on one end. Cut off the end of the sock. Your guinea pig will pull the pillow around her cage and chew on it.[3]
4Use ping-pong balls or tennis ball. While you're technically not making these toys, you likely have a few laying around the house. Just toss them in the cage, and let your guinea pig have fun.[4]
Part 2
Making Your Guinea Pig's Cage More Enjoyable
1Add tunnels and hiding spaces. Guinea pigs enjoy burrowing into their own personal cave or running through tunnels. You can use simple items such as cardboard tubes and small paper bags to keep your guinea pig happy. You can also use rodent igloos, which are made of plastic.[5]
2Keep it in an active area. When you bring your cage home, consider placing it the most active room in your house, such as the living room. Your guinea pig is a social animal, and she'll want to be near people. By placing her cage in an active area, you'll keep her from getting bored.[6]
- However, make sure not to stick your guinea pig near a noise source, such as a stereo or television. The noise can hurt their sensitive ears.[7]
3Provide chew toys. Your guinea pig needs to chew on things to keep her teeth worn down. You can use cardboard boxes or untreated wood, or you can simply buy chew toys specifically designed for guinea pigs or other rodents.[8]
Part 3
Providing Fun Exercise Time
1Make the room safe. Before you let a guinea pig out of her cage, you need to make the room safe. Make sure you have nothing around the room that she can get into, such as chemicals or cleaning supplies.[9]
- Remove or pick up cords out of your guinea pig's reach. She may chew on them if she finds them on the floor.
- If you're worried about the guinea pig going to the bathroom on your carpet or flooring, lay down a layer of plastic to catch any accidents.[10]
- Put house plants out of reach. Many of them are toxic to guinea pigs.[11]
- Remove plastic bags, as guineas like them, but they are not safe to play with.[12]
- Don't forget to provide food and water for the time your guinea is out of her cage.[13]
2Shut off the room. Close any doors so the guinea pig can't escape. Also, keep any other pets, such as dogs or cats, out of the room while you have your guinea pig out of her cage.[14]
- Also, warn family members you are letting the guinea pigs out, as they may open the door while they are on the floor.[15]
3Create an obstacle course. Guinea pigs like a challenge, so try making an obstacle course or maze out of cardboard. You can use a large piece of cardboard for the base or simply tape walls to the floor. Put in twists and turns, and have a treat ready at the end.[16]
4Give her time to roam. Guinea pigs need exercise every day to keep from getting bored in their cages. Pull them out of their cage with two hands, and set them in the room you've made guinea pig-proof. Throw out a few toys to play with. If you want to socialize at the same time, get down on the floor with your guinea pig so that they can come investigate you.[19]
5Avoid exercise balls. Even if they say they are for guinea pigs, these balls are not really designed for guinea pig use, and they can be dangerous for your pet's back.[20]
6Catch your guinea pig. If your guinea pig does escape into the rest of your house, keep a cool head. Put your other pets away. Close any other escape routes, especially ones leading outdoors. Try to herd your guinea pig into a corner to catch her. If she holes up somewhere, know she will eventually come out to find food. Just be ready to catch her.[21]
Part 4
Providing Food Treats
1Give your guinea pig fresh fruits. Providing your guinea pig with fresh fruits once and a while will help spice up her diet. However, just like humans, guinea pigs shouldn't have too much sugar, so only feed her fruit two or three times a week.[22]
- You can provide your guinea pig fresh fruit such as oranges, pears, strawberries, seedless grapes, and blueberries.[23]
3Give your guinea pig your food trash. That is, parts of vegetables you might normally throw away are fine to feed to your pet, such as strawberry tops and celery leaves. Always make sure that the fruit or vegetable is on the safe list before feeding it to her, though.[26]
4Know what snacks are off limits. Your guinea pig can have some human foods, but many foods are off-limits, such as salty snacks, chewy snacks, sugar-filled snacks (including chocolate), and other processed foods. You also want to avoid lettuce, rhubarb, garlic and onions, raw or dried beans, and seeds.[27]
- Chips or pretzels are too salty for your pet. Additionally, chips can be sharp and cut your guinea pig's mouth.[28]
Community Q&A
Is lettuce toxic to guinea pigs?Pippa Elliott, MRCVS
Veterinarian, Royal College of Veterinary SurgeonsPippa Elliott, MRCVSLettuce has a bad reputation because it is nutritionally neutral. It's a bit like eating water, which means it fills your guinea pig's stomach but without giving beneficial vitamins, minerals, and energy. This could potentially mean the guinea pig eats less of things that are good for her ... and so it is best avoided.
What should you not feed your Guinea pig?Pippa Elliott, MRCVS
Veterinarian, Royal College of Veterinary SurgeonsPippa Elliott, MRCVSThe list of what not to feed is so long that it's best to check out each new food before feeding it. For example, avocados and coconut are too high in fat for Guinea pigs, while any form of bean is liable to ferment inside the gut and cause bloat. Absolute no-nos are processed human foods such as cookies, chocolate or candies, which guinea pigs are not designed to eat. Pigs are strictly vegetarian, so never give a Guinea pig meat in any form. Be wary of the onion family and garlic since these can be toxic, and surprising things such as daffodil or tulip bulbs are toxic, so always err on the side of caution and check first before letting your pet chew to its heart's content.
I'm not so sure if my guinea pig likes me. He is fine with mum and sister but not me. What I do to make him like me?wikiHow ContributorSpend time with him, first offering your hand to him, just so that he can get to know your smell. After he is okay with that, try offering him food. If he rushes into a shelter, offer the food there, but still holding it. Once he accepts that, move the food out gradually. Speak softly to him and eventually stroke him gently. Keep up this process and he will begin to trust you.
How do you make a shy guinea pig do tricks?wikiHow ContributorIf your guinea pig is shy, it may not fully trust you. It is better to get the guinea pig to feel comfortable and trust you before you start to train it. Try slowly introducing treats and make sure it likes them. Give it a waiting period before you start.
Can guinea pigs chew on sticks?wikiHow ContributorYes, chewing on sticks is a good way to keep their teeth in check. Plus, they also love them! Just make sure that any stick you use is clean, dry, and not toxic to guinea pigs (for example, cedar and pine trees are deadly to guinea pigs, so don't use them). You can usually get packets of safe, chopped up sticks for small rodents at pet stores.
How can I get my guinea pig to be more active?wikiHow ContributorIf you have two guinea pigs, you can separate them, then make them find their way back to each other. But if you have one only, then just let it out of the cage and run around or make a maze and put a favorite toy or treat at the end of that maze and start the guinea pig at the front.
My guinea pigs are really shy, and they hate coming out of their cage because they're scared of me. What do I do?wikiHow ContributorIt's probable that they are not scared of you, it's more that they just aren't used to you yet. Give the guinea pig time to get familiar with you first. See How to Get Your Guinea Pig to Trust You for more details.
Can I put paper in the sock or does it have to be bedding?wikiHow ContributorIf you put paper, then the Guinea pig will chew it and could choke. Therefore, bedding is best.
Can guinea pigs have a friend?wikiHow ContributorYes, they can but it is up to your pig if it wants one. If not and you want one, then put them in a different cage and let them see each other often until they become familiar with each other. Then, you could reintroduce the new one at some stage later.
Are exercise wheels okay for guinea pigs?wikiHow ContributorNo. Exercise wheels will give guinea pigs spinal problems. They are much different than hamsters.
Is it bad if the guinea pig eats the cardboard roll?wikiHow ContributorIt's fine. However, it's best if you wash the roll before giving it to your guinea pig.
How do I know if my guinea pig wants a friend?wikiHow ContributorIt may seem lethargic or depressed. If it makes sad sounds, it may be lonely. You should probably get it a friend either way, they are very social animals and need each other. If you can't get another guinea pig, make sure you spend time with it every day. Maybe put it in a busy room of your house so that it gets to be around people and watch and hear the happenings going on.
Can I use shredded newspaper as a bedding for guinea pigs?wikiHow ContributorIt is not recommended because the ink of the newspaper can be toxic and rub off onto their paws. Then, if they clean themselves, the ink on their paws will get into their system and make them sick. Stick to regular shredded paper or cardboard.
How can I stop my guinea pig from eating the toilet paper roll in his cage?wikiHow ContributorYour guinea pig is probably entertaining himself by eating the roll. It won't harm him, and you can replace it weekly so he always has something to chew. Giving him other toys may also distract him.
What are the best places to get tunnels?wikiHow ContributorAny pet store, such as Petco, Petsmart, and PJ's Pets will carry tunnels. You can also get them online, such as eBay or Amazon.
My guinea pig won't let me pick him up out of his cage what do I do?wikiHow ContributorLet the guinea pig smell you and pet it. Give it some food, then try and keep doing that and it just might work. The most important thing is to let the guinea pig get used to you over time, so don't rush things.
Is having a harness dangerous for a guinea pig, even though our guinea pigs love it?wikiHow ContributorNo not at all, as long as it's comfortable for the guinea pig to wear, and they enjoy the experience.
How often do they need to go outside?wikiHow ContributorThey should have outdoor time quite often, like 3-4 times a week. Make sure to block off any dangerous and sharp objects or spaces, and make sure they can't/won't escape. Don't leave them out unattended, and make sure they have water.
What can I use to take my guinea pig outside?wikiHow ContributorBuy a small harness for your guinea pig and get a leash. If you can't get a harness, create a small enclosure outside. Keep an eye on your guinea pig so they don't try to escape.
What should I do if my guinea pig does not let me pet or hold it?wikiHow ContributorYour guinea pig might be shy. Try to get him used to your presence first, before trying to pick him up. Check out How to Get Your Guinea Pig to Trust You for more tips and ideas. If your guinea pig just recently started doing this, and used to be more friendly, he might be sick or in pain; in that case, take him to the vet.
How do I get my pig to eat out of my hands?wikiHow ContributorUse fresh vegetables and let the pig smell the food ( this should catch their attention and make them come out of hiding). Simply put a few pieces in the cage so that the guinea pig can get a taste and then offer them the treat from your hand.
- Always give your guinea pig lots of different foods, treats, and toys so she doesn't get bored.
- Lettuce was recommended by my local vet, and I was advised to avoid citrus rich fruit's such as oranges. Find more information before you follow one bit of advice.
- Treat her to lettuce! However, avoid iceberg lettuce because of its high water content, ending up in diarrhea.

How does a baby get thrush?
Babies usually get thrush from moms. Thrush loves to grow in a warm, dark,moist environment and since the nipples are usually in this state, it's easy tosee how thrush can thrive there and become a problem. If the baby has beenon an antibiotic, it is possible that he could develop thrush on his own. But since the baby's mouth is often on the mom's nipple, the cause is usually through breastfeeding.

Is the Surge a Success?
By this time next week, we'll know what General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker have to say to Congress - their testimony begins on Monday, September 10th, before a joint meeting of the House Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees. The next day, they appear before the counterpart committees in the Senate (I just came out of a meeting to plan coverage - what do we carry live, do we offer a produced, one hour "wrap" of the days events in the evening... how do we co-ordinate coverage with other shows, etc).
But at least the outlines of the presentations to Congress and the formal report required by September 15th are already clear - the General and the administration will argue that there's been some important success militarily, and that while political progress may not be all we might hope, it would be foolish to risk hard-won gains by starting to withdraw American forces and redefining the US role in Iraq. Critics, of course, will focus on the lack of political progress - wasn't the point of the effort to provide a breathing space for politics to move ahead? - on the ephemeral nature of reported military gains, the continued, bloody toll on all sides, the enormous expense, and the opinion polls.
Today, we'll try to answer your questions a week ahead of the testimony - our guests are Jack Keane, a retired four star general and an adviser to General Petraeus, and military expert Anthony Cordesman, an independent analyst who's been critical of administration policy.
Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or just confused, we need your questions - how do we measure progress? How are we doing against al-Qaida in Iraq? How real is the change of heart by Sunni tribes in Anbar province? Is it possible the US is arming and training both sides for a civil war yet to come? Does any of this matter if the Iraqi government is dysfunctional? What about fighting among the Shiia?

Where does Gen keane get his numbers (which iraqi dead are included and excluded?) The NYTIMES has a much different picture of what is happening:
2500 iraqi civilians dead per month
daily attacks down by only 25%
us fatalities up--iraqi security force casualities down etc.
Are we getting another sales job here?
what is Talk of the Nation doing having the architect of the surge "assess" it? Do you think he is going to say it is a failure?
this is more of the same--the same as to the run up to the war--where is a real critic of the surge?
why is your show complicit???
The whole context of today's discussion is perverse. The host and your "experts" like Cordesman all examine the issue of whether or not the U.S. should be in Iraq from the Machiavellian standpoint of "success," i.e., success of military/political conquest. By that definition, there was nothing wrong with the European subjugation of Native Americans, etc. -- might makes right. Why does NPR persist in calling on these "experts" who've been so wrong about the war all along, rather than elevate to true "expert" status anti-war activists who opposed this war before it even started, and not just on the dubious grounds of military success or failure.
That lopsided assessment was shameful--it reminded me of pre-war coverage from NPR. Is it worth mentioning that Keane sits on the board of General Dynamics, the sixth largest defense contractor in the world, and therefore has a conflict of interest when it comes to stating anecdotal stories that the surge is "working"? Why not press him further on the fact that civilian casualties are up since the surge began. What, then, is his metric for success? Would it have hurt to put up a critic of the surge as the nation is seriously debating this issue? How about quoting Maliki himself when he said US forces need to 1) Show restraint (read--you are making more enemies with heavy handed tactics) 2) Can leave at the end of THIS YEAR and his country will not suffer for it. For shame, for shame, NPR. We expect news, not the propagation of convenient narratives, be they true or not.
The whole idea of whether or not the "surge" is working is really silly. "Success", by admission of the incompetants who got us into this mess, is a "stable, democratic Iraq that is not a base for Al Qaida but an ally on the War on Terror." So the question becomes is that a goal that has the remotest chance of coming about.
The truth is that since Mr Bush and his handlers launched this war more, not less, muslims consider the US an enemy, not an ally. More, not less, young muslim men and women are willing to give their lives to take ours, more, not less, nations have been willing to challenge us on any number of issues, Al Qaida has gotten stronger not weaker and the international stage has gotten more dangerous, not less. So where is the success or signs of success? The way the Bushite's have glombbed onto these "tribal sheiks" as the one and only sign of "progress" is only somewhat less pathetic than their talk of the need for "patience". As if we have not spent 4 1/2 years, 600 billion dollars and almost 4000 lives and netted a wreck of a country where people are leaving in droves and you cannot get a light bulb to work.
We will only have success when all the idiots who got us where we are today are out of power and the war profiteers have been brought to justice.
I'm so sad that this debate about continuing the war in Iraq will not actually be debated. It's being spun. Will TOTN give equal coverage to the voices opposed to the surge? My mother, a Gold Star Mother, and I, made a video to respond to Ari Fleischer's propaganda campaign. With no press, it's a youtube top rated video. How about it, Neal? Will you have us on your show? Can America hear at least the perspective of those who have lost forever the cherished people in their lives, lost them to a war of choice, a war of negligence, a war of continuing, shameless distortions?

I liked it cause mainly i really liked the weird thing that looked like snake and the animation was good,nice job.
It was well animated but the concept wasn't very funny, I'm not entirely sure what you were trying to do here.
Wtf was that? Why was it 4.2Mb
Its just snake with no body hopping around and then the pain says "you ate one of ym bullet bees".
Graphics were good, there is basically no humor (might get a laugh or two from younger people (but they would also have to have finished a game that is intended for more mature people)), the sound was ok.
But if your going to parody something the usual intent is to make it funny.
but it just wasnt funny......at all.......serously.....

Frequently Asked questions
Is the Air Force JAG Corps currently hiring?
Yes, we hire between 90–100 attorneys per year through several different programs.
Is there a minimum GPA or LSAT score?
No, we evaluate each candidate using the "whole person" concept, which means we look at academic performance, extracurricular activities, community service, prior military record (if any), work and leadership experience and the staff Judge Advocate recommendation. Each part of your application is evaluated before a hiring decision is made.
What is the initial service commitment?
Four years of active duty service.
Does the Air Force JAG Corps pay for law school?
No. The Air Force JAG Corps currently does not offer scholarships to pay for law school. The Air Force, however, offers the Funded Legal Education Program, or FLEP, to commissioned officers on active duty. Under FLEP, commissioned officers on active duty may apply and be competitively selected to attend law school through the Air Forces funding.
What is the Student Loan Repayment Program (SLRP)?
The SLRP pays up to $65,000 over a three-year period. Three annual payments are made in equal portions directly to your lender, and the first payment occurs at the completion of your first year of service. Payments are taxable.
Can I apply to the Direct Appointment Program (DAP) without my bar results?
Yes. You may apply to the DAP in your 3L year (i.e., once two-thirds of the credits required for your ABA-approved law degree are complete). If selected, you will not enter active duty until you are medically cleared, pass the bar and receive your license and certificate of good standing.
For the application, do law and undergrad transcripts have to be sealed copies or is an unsealed copy okay?
The transcripts need to be the official documents, which you must upload into the online application system. In some cases, this may require you to order official sealed transcripts and then open the sealed envelope in order to upload the document into the online accessions system.
What should I expect during the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) interview?
A professional job interview. Additional items you will discuss include: deployments, physical fitness, areas of practice, your personal background and everyday Air Force life.
Will I know my duty station before I enter active duty?
Yes. If you applied to the Direct Appointment Program, you will be informed of your base assignment prior to entering active duty. You only incur a service obligation after you agree to your assignment. If you apply and are selected to the ROTC program, you will be informed of your base assignment at the completion of your ROTC training.
Will I go through boot camp?
Our mission is the healthcare of our service members and their families. A majority of Air Force healthcare professionals work in clinics and hospitals much like our civilian counterparts. There are some exciting opportunities in many kinds of humanitarian missions both at home and abroad. Some healthcare professionals pursue education or medical research during peacetime.
What Do Air Force Healthcare Professionals Do in Peacetime?
No. You will be required to complete Commissioned Officer Training (COT). COT is a five-week training course designed to help ease the transition of candidates in the healthcare, legal and religious professions from the private sector into military life. You will begin with a training regimen designed to educate you in the ways of the military. This is an important time during which you will develop into an officer and an Air Force leader. You will participate in physical conditioning five days a week, military training, leadership seminars and classroom studies.
How long does the application process take?
All applications must be uploaded into the online application system no later than the 10th of the month prior to the accession board. Once you submit your materials online, you will select an interview location. Please allow 3–4 business days for personnel from the interview location to reach out to you to schedule an interview. Interviews must be completed by the first of the month of the accession board. The accession board makes recommendations on selection to the Judge Advocate General. Once the Judge Advocate General approves the list of accessions, selection notifications are provided to all applicants. Results are usually provided within 60–90 days after the board meets.
Once selected, when can I start active duty?
If you are selected, you then begin the process to be classified as medically qualified for military service. The timeline for medical qualification varies. After you become medically qualified, pass the bar and obtain a certificate of good standing from at least one state or U.S. territory, we will provide you with your assignment location. Finally, you'll need to wait for a position to open up for Commissioned Officer Training.
I am a nontraditional law student. When can I apply?
You are eligible to apply to our Direct Appointment Program once you have completed two-thirds of the credits required for your law degree. If you are a nontraditional law student and interested in our ROTC programs, please call us at 1-800-JAG-USAF to inquire about your individual situation and timing.
Find the path that's right for you.

1. Introduction
[2] Decadal to multi-decadal climate variability has been identified in the Atlantic Ocean, particularly in the North Atlantic basin. In this region, low-frequency sea surface temperature (SST) variability is referred to as Atlantic multi-decadal variability (AMV) or Atlantic multi-decadal oscillation (AMO) [e.g.,Smith et al., 2012]. The large-scale AMV SST pattern is thought to be related to the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) multi-decadal variations, or the Atlantic portion of the thermohaline circulation [e.g.,Knight et al., 2005; Dijkstra et al., 2006; Zhang, 2008]. Potential predictability for the North Atlantic SST has been found on decadal time-scales [e.g.,Pohlmann et al., 2004]. Recent studies using initialized decadal hindcasts have illustrated encouraging skill in forecasting the AMV a few years ahead [Pohlmann et al., 2009; Doblas-Reyes et al., 2011; van Oldenborgh et al., 2012; García-Serrano and Doblas-Reyes, 2012]. However, the roles of internal natural variability and external forcing in the AMV forecast skill have not been clearly identified so far. There is, therefore, scope for a focused investigation to better understand the AMV prediction skill.
[3] The AMV affects climate and weather conditions around the North Atlantic and in remote regions, particularly the surface temperature and precipitation in North America and Europe, hurricane activity in the tropical Atlantic, precipitation in South America and West Africa, and climate variability in the tropical Pacific (for reviews, see Murphy et al. [2010] and Smith et al. [2012]). Thus, predicting the AMV and understanding its predictability sources is of great relevance for both the climate forecasting community and socioeconomic applications. Near-term re-forecasts have helped to obtain improvements in some aspects of interannual-to-decadal variability prediction skill, with particular emphasis on the North Atlantic basin [Keenlyside et al., 2008; H. Pohlmann et al., Predictability of the mid-latitude Atlantic meridional overturning circulation in a multi-model system, submitted toClimate Dynamics, 2012]. The relative contributions to the AMV skill from initial and boundary (i.e. varying radiative forcing) conditions are, however, still unclear. Previous results suggest that AMOC-related internal variability drives subpolar SSTs, while subtropical SSTs are largely controlled by external forcings [Ottera et al., 2010; van Oldenborgh et al., 2012]. This manuscript uses the best available set of decadal re-forecasts to investigate these two facets of the AMV predictive skill. The objective of this research is twofold: first, to assess multi-year prediction skill of the AMV SST index by comparing a dynamical multi-forecast system with simple empirical (statistical) predictions; second, to shed some light on the processes contributing to the identified skill in the North Atlantic region.

"I thought the job of the regulator was to regulate, not to sit on the sidelines and let the industry create its own laws."
"It was a strange feeling on the sideline. It was a strange deal. You mix in a couple three-and-outs and that really made it unusual or weird. It was one of those days."

Edward's evaluation: For a team that didn't beat a team with a winning record all year, drawing No. 1 American Fork in the first round is a brutal draw. Even if West plays a perfect game, it's hard to imagine a scenario in which it can pull off the upset.

Prep editor James Edward's bracket: Win over American Fork in championship game.
Edward's evaluation: The last time the state tournament was at the Maverik Center, West Jordan cut down the nets after upsetting Lone Peak in the championship game. This year, those same 5A powers are headed toward a semifinal showdown baring any major upsets. Jordan Loveridge is a weapon no other team in 5A possesses, and he needs to dominate for the Jags to win the title. As good as they are offensively, it's hard to imagine the Jaguars beating Lone Peak if the inevitable match-up turns into a track meet.

San Francisco Trail Runners Message Board › DIpsea Run
user 12004912
San Francisco, CA
Hey guys,
So it looks like a fair number of people want to do the single Dipsea this Sunday. It's about half hour drive from Stinson Beach to the start of the run in Mill Valley.
I can meet people at Stinson at 8:30 and shuttle up to 4 people in my car to the start of the run. We will probably need another car. Is anyone doing the single willing to shuttle people to Mill Valley and then get a ride back to his or her car at the end?
Should be a great run!

14 reviews | 2.4 out of 5
I bought this dvd recorder and it stopped recording after using it 4 times and the time display kept loosing time. It overheats all the time. I have took it back 3 times to exchange for another one and all 3 of them arent worth 5 dollars. This is the worst product ever made. DO NOT BUY THIS!!! You are waisting your money and time. Just payand extra 50 bucks and get a name brand that you have heard of. But I do have to say that the dvds that I did get to make was excellent quality.
Cons..What they don't tell you in the product description is that it does not have a stereo tv tuner, it's only mono If your looking for a stereo tuner don't buy this recorder plus the tv tuner has a low hum in the recording. When it overheats it shuts down... you have to unpug it and reset your channels and time displays and has only 24 hour time settings not 12 hour settings..
Pros..It does however record in stereo from your vcr or cam corder ect... The recording are good in quality, It Plays DVD CD VCD SVCD MP3s DIVX and has about four audio/Video inputs for your other equipment..Depending what you are looking for this Recorder might or might not be right for you.. Hope my review helps....
Here's why I ignored the reviews.
Being a not so great product didn't mean much to me, as I needed a DVD recorder that would simply record shows. I didn't care about bells and whistles. The problem is that even with low expectations it's still very disappointing because it simply does not function correctly. At best a product should function and you should simply get what you pay for.
I even ignored the fact that it only takes DVDR plus disk, however it malfunctions exceedingly too often to be of any value. You simply do not have a DVR recorder when you buy this, you have a broken DVR recorder that looks okay near your TV.
*Must use the red, white & yellow cables, coaxial will not work (not so big unless your TV is old).
* Shuts off all the time, VERY soon after buying it. It needs to be reset again and again. (not good if it's under other equipment)
* The technical support is kind of clueless like most of the typical bad ones, that are not patient even though to try to understand where you are coming from, nor do they try to become creative in the approach to solve an issue, making your wait time a waste of time and your expectations of it working also a disappointment.
* can not do anything with it until you set the clock and BASIC settings.
* At times, controls wont respond, including eject.
That's as far as I have gotten, I am returning mine today. If this product were free, I might hold on to it and put it in a room that had a TV that I seldom watched, but that's if it were free and my expectations were even lower... That's my review, good luck.
I have had this for about 3 weeks the remote drives me crazy, it has a very slow response time on the third week, all it does now is flicker no picture through TV or DVD, It did record good but the remote will make you crazy. I am returning it tomorrow. Marlene
I picked this unit up at an unbeatable price and have already recorded about 8 hours of video via the AV3 composite input in SP mode. The composite source video, which is being played from and was recorded on HI 8 media on an RCA DSP3 Video Camera, has been reproduced well on the Protron PD-DVR100. I like the feature that stops recording if the source video goes to static or has extremely poor tracking. I read the manual right off the bat and for other than finalizing a DVD +R or DVD +RW, I have to say that so far, I'm very impressed and have found the operation of this unit to be relatively intuitive and reliable. The remote is packed with options but each is titled accordingly, ie DISK EDIT, SETUP, etc. Some other great features I have used are disc titling and auto chapter marking. I have not tried the IEEE 1394 port yet but this was a desired feature that I could not find on many other more expensive major name brand units in the store. I did not buy the unit with the intent of using it as a tuner, so I can't speak to that part of its functionality or the quality of it. Overall, the PD-DVR100 is a great value if you need a do it yourself machine to transfer any composite video source to DVD +R or DVD +RW and it does not require editing.
I purchased this item to give it away in a Christmas Grab Bag. There were 21 gifts that I wrapped up and this was one of them. But there were only 17 people there. No one Pick this Gift. So I gave it to myself for christmas. I love this Item. I should have just brought one for myself at this Unheard of Price. This item works just great. I purchase one at Radio Shack last year and It just stop recording. So I am willing to give this great DVD Recorder a Try. So far I have copied 5 Movies and the quality it just perfect. I would recommend this item to anyone who is looking for a Great DVD Recorder with out the fancy Name Brand Price.
DVD recorder was fine for about 6 months - only used it to record then would unplug when not in use. Recorded 2 shows yesterday, went back about 3 hours later, pushed power button and all went blank - no reaction. The company website no longer exists, therefore no online technical support. You get what you pay for in this case
Bought this for my mom for x-mas. It didn't work. The door wouldn't even open on the thing. Don't waste your money. I'm taking this back to my local store to exchange it for something else. I just hope being that I bought it online that the local store will accept the exchange.
I have yet to be able to set this up to record or play. It is very complicated and am thinking of bringing it back. This is not user friendly at all! I have had 2 different men try and hook this up, but to no avail.
The picture is very clear and bright. The programs and remote control is easy to understand. The price was unbeatable.
The plain fact is that this device doesn't work. I guess you get what you pay for.

*** West Virginia Chemical Spill Timeline Updates ***
That's why we intend to vigorously discover all the parties responsible for this fiasco, wherever the evidence leads us, be they private or public corporations, individuals or even governmental officials who breached their responsibilities and obligations to public safety. We are shocked by the events that have allowed this contamination to occur and to cause hundreds of thousands of our neighbors to go without water for drinking, cooking or even bathing.
The Bell Law Firm has filed contaminated water lawsuits in West Virginia as a result of this harmful disaster.
If the chemical spill has affected you in any way, you could be eligible for compensation for the losses you have suffered, including:
- Loss of Business
- Lost Wages
- Medical Expenses
- …and more
Because of the irresponsibility and incompetence of Freedom Industries and West Virginia American Water Company many of you have been forced to drive miles for clean water for your family. Many have been forced to close your businesses. Our farms have come to a standstill. Residents across the Kanawha Valley are unable to earn a living while businesses are closed.
Chemical Spills into Elk River, Contaminating West Virginia American Water Supply
On Thursday January 09, 2014, residents of several West Virginia counties were alerted that a chemical leak had contaminated their water supply through the Elk River, and that strict DO NOT USE orders should be followed immediately.
The culprit was a 48,000 gallon tank with a 1-inch hole, spilling the coal-cleaning chemical 4-methylcyclohexane methanol from a storage facility of Freedom Industries. Approximately 7,500 gallons leaked into the Elk River.
Twelve days after the chemical spill, federal and state investigators learned that the Crude MCHM that leaked into the river also contained DOWANOL™ PPh Glycol Ether, also known as "PPH", a DOW® product used in architectural and industrial coatings; textile dyes; inks in pens, stamp pads, and textile printing pastes; and paint removers.
Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Response for the WV Department of Environmental Protection Mike Dorsey said there were approximately 300 gallons of PPH in the tank that leaked into the Elk River.
Thursday evening at approximately 6:30 p.m., President Barack Obama issued a State of Emergency for nine counties in West Virginia affected by the spill, including Boone, Cabell, Clay, Jackson, Kanawha, Lincoln, Logan, Putnam and Roane, though Freedom Industries stated on their company Facebook page that only the water system of Kanawha Valley was contaminated. The declaration will allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to begin coordinating disaster relief efforts.
The Bell Law Firm, PLLC is taking action by filing lawsuits in light of the chemical spill, and we urge anyone who may have come into contact with contaminated water to contact us for a free consultation of their claim now.
Strict DO NOT USE Orders Issued by Governor Tomblin
After reports of the spill were confirmed, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin issued orders to residents to avoid all contact with the water supply, and that even boiling the water would not make it safe for usage or consumption. The order declared the water was not safe for:
- Bathing
- Cleaning
- Cooking
- Drinking
Additionally, Gov. Tomblin warned that the water should only be used in an emergency fire situation.
How to Get Started With Your Claim
The Bell Law Firm, PLLC is filing lawsuits on behalf of the victims of the Freedom Industries chemical spill, and welcomes anyone affected by the contamination to contact us today.
Freedom Industries' facility was located only one mile upriver from the West Virginia American Water plant and the 4-methylcyclohexane methanol spill flowed into the Elk River in Kanawha Valley for hours before the public was alerted, leaving plenty of time for unknowing residents to consume and use this tainted water.
If you or someone you love was harmed by the spill, or may have come into contact with it at any point, fill out the free case evaluation form located on the right side of this page, or call 1-800-BIG-SPILL for a no cost, no-obligation consultation of your claim.
The Bell Law Firm, PLLC is ready to fight on behalf of the victims of Freedom Industries' negligence, and we will always seek the maximum amount of compensation for our clients.
