Description:

Sylvania's DVC840E brings unprecedented performance for such an affordable player. From its high-end progressive-scan DVD video output to MP3 music playback from homemade CD-Rs, DVD-R/RW playback, and backward compatibility with your library of VHS tapes, the DVC840E is a jack of most entertainment trades. Your camcorder or gaming console plugs right into the unit's monaural front-panel input for hassle-free connections.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVC840E 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, search speeds up to 100x, 10-point bookmarking, and parental lock.

The monaural 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/output for the VCR, and, for the DVD player, component-video, S-video, and composite-video outputs, as well as stereo analog and coaxial digital-audio outputs. Auto power off conserves energy and extends product life.
