Description:
Ditch the VCR and get ready for the channels, the quality, and the convenience of Philips' DSR7000 combination DIRECTV receiver and 35-hour digital video recorder (DVR). Designed to be a second receiver in a dual-LNB DIRECTV system, this single box handles everything from satellite reception to digital audio/video recording. You'll even be able to pause live TV whenever you wish. Required for use are a television, a satellite-dish antenna (which should be properly mounted before you connect the DVR), and a standard analog phone line. All other requisite cabling and accessories are right in the box. With DIRECTV reception right inside the DVR, you'll enjoy access to over 225 channels of digital DIRECTV programming with the convenience and control of digital video recording. You'll be able to control live TV (pause, rewind, slow motion, or instant replay), access up to 31 premium movie channels and as many as 60 pay-per-view movies per month, use Season Pass to automatically record every episode of your favorite shows every time they air (even if the dates and times change), and subscribe to major professional and college sports (including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, MLS, and NCAA). Because the unit has two internal tuners, you can watch one program/station while recording another--if that's not the pinnacle of convenience, we're not sure what is. Video is delivered with MPEG2 DVD-quality digital video (though actual quality can vary by station, depending on origination conditions), and you can choose to listen to Dolby Digital or linear PCM (CD-quality) sound. The DVR offers a host of connections to properly integrate it with your home and with other home-entertainment gear, from its RJ-11 (standard telephone) jack for scheduling information and periodic software updates to AV connections such as composite- and S-video output jacks. An optical digital-audio output (optical cable not supplied) passes a Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround signal to compatible AV receivers and multichannel speaker system so you can immerse yourself in the soundscapes of your favorite movies. Surround-encoded broadcasts let you feel every explosion, hear the roar of a jet approaching from behind, and sense the magnitude of the dragon's cavernous lair. Use the 14-day advanced-programming guide to find programs quickly and easily. See days of programming, sort by themes, or set reminders to notify you when a program is about to start. And do you find yourself watching a program with a hunch there might be something better on? Use the channel-browse mode to view what is playing on other channels without missing any of your current program. All family members can customize their viewing with their own lists of channels using custom favorites. One-touch channel-back quickly returns you to a previously viewed channel at the touch of a button. And, with parental control, moms and dads can make sure children only see what they want them to see. What's in the Box
DVR, DIRECTV access card, AC power cord, RJ-11-terminated phone-line splitter, remote control, remote batteries, 25-foot RJ-11 phone cord, RF coaxial video cable, composite-video/stereo analog audio interconnect, and S-video cable.
