Description:

Offering high-end features for an unbeatable price, Daewoo's DR-C912B is an all-format system designed to bring you hours of home entertainment. All you need to go with it is a television and a living room--the DR-C912B provides the DVD and VHS playback, the surround-sound processing, and the multichannel audio delivery through its compact components.

The system pumps 300 watts through a specially matched 6-speaker system (left, center, right, left and right surround, and low-frequency subwoofer). And its versatility with media playback--from DVD to VHS videocassettes, recordable DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW, and MP3 CDs--means you're never far from favorite movies, music, or digital photos. Topping it off, the system's offered super high-fidelity (192 kHz/24-bit) digital-to-analog audio decoding for all optical-media formats.

DVD movies will look and sound great through the system's 27 MHz/10-bit video decoder, progressive-scan video output (for use with high-definition and HD-ready televisions), and Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS discrete 5.1-channel surround decoding and rendering. Dolby Pro Logic II generates 5.1 surround mixes from any 2-channel source--even your MP3 CDs.

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, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. This feature can only be appreciated on high-definition and HD-ready TVs.

The VCR's 4-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, and with hi-fi sound the unit records and plays back stereo audio tracks. SAP audio receptions lets you listen to alternate-language tracks on select broadcast programming. You get 1-year, 8-event programming as well as handy 1-touch recording for spontaneous action.

The speaker set includes 4 bookshelf satellite speakers (front and rear left and right) powered by 50 watts each, a 50-watt center-channel speaker (critical for handling most of a movie's dialogue), and a 50-watt subwoofer optimized for stable low-frequency reproduction. All speakers are magnetically shielded to protect your TV from distortion induced by the speakers' magnetic fields.

A digital-synthesized FM/AM tuner lets you listen to your favorite radio stations, with convenient presets for 1-touch tuning for up to 30 stations.
