Included Components: DVD Player - Subwoofer Included

The perfect all-in-one system and complement to your Sony WEGA or TV, the chic silver components that make up the HT-V2000DP home theater are all about performance. The 510-watt system consists of an 85-watts-per-channel x 5 audio/video receiver, an 85-watt powered subwoofer, and a combination VCR/DVD player. The versatile combination deck (Sony's SLV-D350P) offers the convenience of VHS recording and playback and high-end progressive-scan DVD performance, handling just about any conceivable media format, from VHS and S-VHS tapes (which it plays at standard VHS resolution) to DVD-Video, video-mode DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW, as well as MP3 CD and JPEG picture CD. From your library of VHS videos to your digital music files and digital photos, the SLV-D350P lets you enjoy them all in the comfort of your living room or bedroom. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the SLV-D350P can 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. 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. Other DVD functions include bookmarking, picture zoom, parental lock, and a screen saver. The SLV-D350P also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. The VCR section offers 1-month, 8-event advance programming, and your camcorder or gaming console plugs right into the front panel for hassle-free connections. Its 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. Its 19-micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. Commercial skip makes it easier than ever to zip past commercials and unwanted "coming attractions," jumping forward 30 seconds for every press of the commercial-skip button. 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. One each optical and coaxial digital-audio input grant 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, 8-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.
