It may look like a chunky remote, but it controls a lot of things. Firstly, R2 moves, forward, back, left, right and you can spin the dome as well. It also controls all of the audio and video functions, including remote control of iPods. _tn.JPG)
The front middle of R2 opens to reveal an iPod MP3/MP4 docking station, compatible with 3G and higher iPod versions, supporting both the audio and video functions. The iPod menu can even be projected onto your nearest wall. _tn.JPG)
Other ways to get your media files into R2 include the USB port for flash drives and the memory card port which can read and project photos and videos directly from SD memory cards, memory sticks, smart media and multi media cards. If that’s not enough entertainment for you, the back panel provides a 7 channel FM wireless audio transmission and connection points for Nintendo and Playstation. Other ins and outs include: Input connections - RCA (composite video)
- Mini DIN (S-Video)
- RCA (Audi L/R)
- DVI-PC/Mac

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't R2 project video out of the smaller direction adjustable "eye"?

Oh, you are correct! I hang my head in shame. And I call myself a Star Wars fan! |

I want one! Never been into star wars, but i still want one! Although i think i'd prefer to make one myself with a built in PC instead as for $2700 it's kinda limited. Pico, Nano or Mini ITX would make a lovely additional feature, YouTube at a max of 264"... Lol. I mean, my big ass watercooled PC tower is on wheels so i can move it to any room, and even sit on it, ridin' it into the sunset-err, i mean living room!
For that price it should have a lil touch screen, wireless net access and a toaster!!!! Overclocked, of course :) Lets go over the top and add GPS so it can navigate around your home! YES! Bluetooth is missing! Blu-Ray (even though i hate it) and it doesn't play back HD-DVD! So again, for the money, bit...tacky looking, really! I'd rather have something you could use for many more things...like, oh i don't know, a PC! Did i mention i love PCs? =D
Kind regards,
Husky/Lee
I give it 6/10, unreachable for many people and for the cost it's quite limited. Battery life is crap (roll on Fuel Cells..) and from the photos it looks a little -too- plastic....not something you'd want around destructive kids either! $2700 for that thing...that's what put me off! I'd love to look at the insides though, see if it's actually worth that cash! And i hope you meant it's 20 watts RMS per channel (not "peak" value BS) and has 5 plus a sub! If it only has a couple of speakers built in it's pants!!! Lol |
