Description:

Ultimate quality, ultimate convenience: from high-end progressive-scan video output for DVD programs to MP3 music playback from homemade CD-Rs, DVD-R/RW playback, and backward compatibility with your library of VHS tapes, Sylvania's DVC860E offers a wealth of audio/video features. The unit sports an easy-to-read fluorescent front-panel display, and your camcorder or gaming console plugs right into the unit's front panel for hassle-free connections.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVC860E stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Other DVD features include Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel digital output (a coaxial connection, cable not included) for hookup with a compatible audio/video receiver and speaker system, simulated surround sound through any two speakers, 2x and 4x zoom, search speeds up to 100x, 10-point bookmarking, and parental lock.

The VCR's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, and the unit records and plays back stereo audio in hi-fi sound. Nineteen-micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. The VCR also offers a built-in calendar, advance programming, and auto head cleaning.

Inputs and outputs include front and rear audio/video and an RF input for the VCR, and for the DVD player, component-video, S-video, and composite-video outputs, as well as one each stereo analog and coaxial digital-audio outputs. Auto power off conserves energy and extends product life.
