Why is this so much cheaper than a new system? What are the defects?

Good day, Richard there are no defects its a used system, the price is low to compete with other sellers of the same product.

They are not defect. They are used so they are cheaper than brand new set. Thanks

Think mine had a one year different seller. Best bet is to email the seller and ask. A lot of times new means new pull pulled from an unsold system

I would return it. Not only should they have advertised that it was open-box/refurbished, but they should have offered a healthy discount for it. There's no reason for anyone to pay full price for a used unit.

Just simply search replacement for the this model and it will come up. It shouldn't be no more than $13

Sean, Our systems use only standard parts, so upgrading is easy! Also, proper installation of hardware, that does not damage the system, will *not* void your warranty.

I don't know what the problem might be. Both of ours work fine. I agree with the other guy - send it back to Amazon - I have found them to be very fair and easy to work with.

I have no idea but it is probably a) impossible and b) not worth the cost, a new one is pretty cheap

The unit I purchased was new. It still operates well. If you'll recall, I was railing against refurbished units and a reader directed me to a site where new units were available.

Because the seller is price gouging. My advice: don't buy it. No one pays MORE for old technology.

Depending on how long you have owned it, I would first go to the vendor on a warrantee concern. After that see if you could either purchase the component or canabalize it from a defective unit.

I should have posted this earlier. It appears to be an error message related to the disk. Could be disk stuck or disk drive dead (the latter in my case). I took Toshiba up on the replacement. It was something in the range of $80-$90 and the replacement unit actually appears to be new rather than refurb. I had enough of an investment in disks that it was worth it if I could get another couple of years' service.If you do go the replacement route, make sure to get a receipt notice from the post office. Toshiba actually lost our unit in receiving and it took a bit of yelling to get it straightened out.I'll eventually go Blu-Ray when the players are as good and the disks are as cheap as HD-DVD was two years ago.

The camera is used, but has been restored to look new. I would recommend a refurbished one as opposed to a new one if price is an issue. It looks and works the same as if it was new, however some software that came with the product when it was bought new MAY not work again, especially if it was already used to register the product. But a lot of software can be found easily and downloaded from the internet.

Hi, I really don't know why apparently a newer model costs less than the older one. As I wrote in my review, this product turned out to be a useless device, it could be because of a defect, I'm not sure. Maybe I should have bought an "EDIMAX" model instead. Hope you have a better luck. Regards,Agron

I bought a new one for less than $20.00 and free shipping. Is it worth messing with for that price?

It was easier for my connections to get rid of dvi. New components do not justify quality connected to older components. Cost of technology. Sorry can't be of much help.

I would get the latest version that you can get. It probably not wort the hassle for the few dollars difference between the ʻOld Version" and newer versions. Any way, itʻs an excellent product and has saved my sanity several times and actually saved me money on repairs, without any hassles.

There are several different options that are either the same cost or cheaper. I would go with the other options. I purchased this item based on review of stellar technical support, but I found out too late those reviews to be grossly incorrect.
