| | | | DMR 60 - Spearheading the move towards true convergence products Jamo has developed the DMR 60, a new Digital Media Receiver. In the DMR 60 you’ll find incorporated a 4-in-1 flash card reader as well as a USB connection. So simply by putting a compatible flash card or memory stick in, it is possible to listen to music, enjoy pictures from a digital camera or watch a DivX movie. The DVD drive, meanwhile reads virtually any optical disc format on the market.
Look down the DMR 60’s massive feature list and you’ll find an ergonomic remote, Component video output with Progressive Scan (for smooth and well defined picture quality), an excellent Digital Amplifier (which keeps all signal processing in the digital domain, maintaining the absolute highest level of fidelity) and a Radio Tuner with 40 AM/FM presets and RDS support (where available).
The DMR 60 is equipped with a subwoofer output that allows enhanced bass reproduction from an active subwoofer. Two analogue inputs and two digital ones add further flexibility. Connecting a satellite receiver, set top box; VCR, game console or MP3 player to the DMR 60 gives a fabulous sound quality. Combine it with speakers from the A 30 and A 10 series you’ll experience a remarkably synergistic match when it comes to sound quality.
A 102 HCS 5 - If you are looking for a competent, yet discreet 5.1 solution to match your current AV or DVD receiver, this is it! The identical driver configuration in all five main speakers ensure optimum timbral coherence when sounds pan across the room. And the sub will integrate with your electronics, whether it’s connected to your amp via a line or speaker-level output.
This solution allows you to have a very discreet, yet incredibly effective, home cinema experience.

2 of 5 Bitter disappointment Saturday, March 22, 2008
A Customer from London, UK
I used to have DMR 50. It was a decent piece of equipment, even though with some quirks. Very unfortunately, after about two years the DVD player went... well... s***apens. I wasn't overly concerned and decided to get a newer version of a Jamo DVD player, DMR 60.
The design is quite slick and fits with pretty much any piece of equipment. Looks very nice in your room among TVs, amplifiers, etc. But that's pretty much all as far as pros go.
On the downside... well.. where should I start? My first disappointment was it's menu system. It's like you are going back to the 80s and not in a good way! The menu design is very primitive (remember your Commodores and Sinclairs, well, you get the idea), the file menu can't even display more than a few letters in a file name, so if you have a bunch of files with similar names (for example, few episodes of a series), you are stuck 'cause you can't say which file is which! The old DVR 50 menu system was much better. I have no idea why they decided to jump back in time!
As an allegedly attractive new add-on the DMR 60 features a built-in memory stick reader. I have to warn you -- it's good to browse through photos but unfortunately the interface is way too slow to watch motion pictures, even at a reasonably low quality. So don't get overexcited.
I guess I could live with the sub-standard menue and less than perfect memory stick reader, but my bitterest diappointment has been with the DVD player itself. It's extremely capricious and unreliable. It tends to freeze in the middle of a disc and wouldn't go further regrdless of all my efforts (on-off, reboot, etc) It's particularly unreliable with double layer discs. It would only digest certain types of DLs (most expensive ones - surprise, surprise!) and even with those you never know whether you'll be able to watch till the very end. At the benning, this was only a problem with self-burnt discs, whereas commercial (pre-fab) discs were being digested quite well with hardly any complaints. As the player grew older (it's only 18 months old now!) it got increasingly more unreliable. These days even with a bona fide licenced DVD I never know whether the player would let me through the entire movire or turns dead at some point! My computers digest ALL those discs easily without a hiccup, so I can't really blame the discs.
After having had numerous ruined movie nights with this player, I decided to dump it and get a new, NOT Jamo one! I certainly DO NOT recommend anyone to get a Jamo DVD player as they can be full of nasty surprises and definitely lack reliability. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great Value at the new price Friday, March 02, 2007
brucenie from Tampa, FL
Just received the JAMO DMR60 with the Speaker package. The sound is better than expected, and there is plenty of wire in the box for the speakers. The remote is easy to handle though the writing on it is rather small for us farsighted folks. Documentation is a bit slim and the display on the DMR60 is very small. But pop in a USB card or an SD card and your music and pictures are right there (be sure to have you TV tuned to the DVD output). The DMR60 is quite compact and sexy looking. Overall I would recommend this (even to a friend). Price keeps changing so keep an eye on it. Was this review helpful?
