Description:
Consisting of a space-saving combination DVD player and audio/video receiver powering a complete 5.1-channel speaker package, the 80-watts-per-channel HTC-800DP home theater spins DVD-Video movies as well as recordable CDs with your favorite MP3 music, filling your room with glorious surround sound. The system processes everything from DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 discrete surround signals to Dolby Pro Logic II, which generates multichannel surround from any stereo source--movie or music. The system's onboard 32-bit surround processor also features Sony's own Digital Cinema Sound System (Cinema Studio EX), broadening your surround listening possibilities. Easy to assemble, the system includes all requisite cabling, and color-coded speaker connections simplify setup so you can enjoy your movies and music as quickly and accurately as possible. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the HTC-800DP 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. A composite-video input offers accompanying analog-audio inputs, accommodating most audio/video components and granting convenient AV switching: just channel the AV signals from your VCR or cable box (for instance) to the receiver, then route a single composite-video cable from the receiver's monitor output to your television. You'll need to supply your own composite- and/or component-video cables, and keep in mind that you'll need both connections in order to appreciate both the progressive-scan feature and the AV switching--the component-video output works only with the DVD image. If you have an older TV you may require a video modulator to convert the receiver's composite-video (yellow RCA jack) signal to an RF signal (which uses a thicker, threaded jack). The included speakers cover left, right, center, and left/right surround, along with a powerful, 100-watt subwoofer with a bass port for added low-frequency slam. A host of radio presets (20 FM, 10 AM) put all your favorite stations (and then some) right at your fingertips, and the receiver's amplifier uses discrete output transistors for clean, quality power. Optional mounting brackets or speaker stands (models WS-WV10D and WS-FV10D, respectively) simplify speaker placement, the assumption being that you'll want to place the center-channel speaker atop your television for optimal dialogue matching. All speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent distortion when placed on or near your TV. What's in the Box
Combination audio/video receiver and DVD player, SS-VE80P speaker package, SA-WMSP80 subwoofer, user's manual, all requisite speaker cable, and Remote Commander remote control.
