Product Description:

With its high power, plentiful speakers, multiple formats, and chic silver components designed to match the style of Sony WEGA TVs, the HT-V600DP home theater is all about performance. The 400-watt system consists of a 70-watts-per-channel x 5 audio/video receiver, a 100-watt powered subwoofer, and a combination VCR/DVD player loaded with high-end progressive-scan video outputs and playback abilities for DVD, CD, MP3 CD, and even recordable media filled with digital photos, such as JPEG or Kodak Photo CDs. The DVD player also plays finalized DVD-R and DVD-RW/+RW discs--terrific for enjoying homemade DVDs from family and friends. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the HT-V600DP stands ready to deliver the full potential of 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, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. The VCR's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images, and the hi-fi-equipped VHS section records and plays back stereo audio tracks. You can schedule ahead using the recorder's one-year, eight-event programming. The AV receiver decodes not only Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals, but Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II, as well. Dolby Pro Logic II generates 5.1 sound from any stereo source for enveloping simulated surround sound. An optical digital-audio input grants direct digital access to a satellite receiver, minidisc player, CD player, or other compatible device. The unit's FM/AM tuner offers 30 station presets: 20 for FM and 10 for AM. The speakers are video shielded for distortion-free placement near (or, in the case of the center channel, on) your television. The center-channel speaker, which handles most dialogue and 70 percent of a movie's sound, is slightly larger than the four (left/right and surround left/right) other satellites, and the bass-reflex subwoofer uses a large, eight-inch woofer for delivering the powerful low-frequency effects for which it was designed. Speakers too loud? A .25-inch headphone jack allows private listening. What's in the Box DVD player/VCR/AV receiver unit, five satellite speakers, a subwoofer, a Remote Commander remote control, remote batteries, requisite speaker cable, a composite-video/stereo analog audio interconnect, an RF coaxial video Cable, an AM/FM Antenna, and a user's manual.

Comment: Nifty! Rating:
While I can't speak with much experience -- this is my first home theatre system -- I have to say that I'm quite impressed with the system thus far. Installation (with my cable box/DVR) was a breeze, the interface is easy to use, and image/sound quality are wonderfully clear. My only gripes: The remote control is too big (large and rectangle-shaped, rather than easy-to-hold), and, according to the documentation, MP3-CD support is limited (filenames must be 8 characters long). I'll be plugging in my iPod instead.
