Looking for one-stop digital entertainment on a budget? RCA's affordable RTD120 complete home theater system supplies everything but the television: a progressive-scan DVD/CD player, a high-power surround-sound receiver, and a multichannel speaker system. Whether you're firing up your favorite movies, cranking up your audio or MP3 music CDs, or lining up friends and family for custom digital-photo slide shows, this is the system for you. The system's central unit merges a DVD/CD player and audio/video surround receiver. The disc player spins DVDs and CDs, from standard audio discs to recordable CDs filled with MP3 music files, or JPEG digital photos. The receiver powers the supplied 5.1-channel speaker system (front and rear left/right, center speaker, and passive subwoofer) with 15 watts per channel x 5 (front and rear left/right, center speaker) and 25 watts for the system's 6.5-inch passive subwoofer.
Discrete Dolby Digital 5.1-channel audio decoding lets you enjoy spacious, full-bodied surround effects from commercial DVDs. And, your Dolby Pro Logic-encoded VHS tapes will sound great in 4-channel surround (left, center, right, and monaural left/right surround), and the system even features Dolby Pro Logic II, special processing that generates 5.1 mixes in realtime from any stereo (2-channel source).
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the RTD120 is equipped 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.
The RTD120 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
A pair of stereo analog (left/right RCA) inputs lets you hook up external devices such as a CD player and tape deck, MP3 player, minidisc player, DVR, or VCR. For night listening, the system offers 2 compression modes to minimize dramatic increases in sound level between quiet and loud movie passages.
