Sensory Science Corporation (AMEX: VCR) announced it will introduce the DVR-5000 combination DVD-Video and VCR with enhanced features and capabilities for the ultimate in convenience and performance. The world's first combination DVD-Video and VCR in one, the DVR-5000 is the perfect combination product for consumers who wish to convert their living rooms into home theatres without having to purchase multiple components, and provides users with the ability to upgrade to a DVD-Video player without losing the compelling features and versatility of a VCR. The DVR-5000 is scheduled to begin shipping to retailers throughout the United States in August. The numerous features on the DVR-5000 make this combination a compelling buy for both the experienced DVD enthusiast as well as the DVD newcomer. The unit has complete versatility to play DVDs, audio and video CDs, and VHS tapes, and users can watch a DVD while recording a TV program. RF inputs and outputs located on the back of the unit allow for connections to both new and older model televisions, a feature not included on regular DVD-Video players. Users also can record non-copy protected DVDs to VHS at the touch of one button. ""The DVR-5000 is the most exciting product we've introduced in years, and we've already received strong orders from retailers who recognize the convenience, affordability, and numerous benefits that this new DVD-VCR combination offers consumers,"" said Roger Hackett, Sensory Science's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. ""We believe that the DVR-5000's ease of use and unique features will attract many potential DVD buyers, and we have filed for numerous patents on this product. Though a DVD can't replace a VCR's countless benefits, this combination product offers the perfect bridge between these two popular technologies to offer a powerful home theater experience. With the growing popularity of DVD coupled with the versatility that VHS offers, we're anticipating that the DVR-5000 will be one of most successful products we've introduced to date."" Versatile DVD-Video Player Sports DolbyÆ Digital Decoder, MP3 File Playback From CD-ROM This revolutionary home theater solution contains a DolbyÆ Digital 5.1-channel surround sound decoder providing a robust surround sound experience, and also has DTSÆ Digital Surroundô output for DTS-encoded DVDs. Users can playback MP3 files on CD-ROM, and the unit is also compatible with CD-R. The DVD also features a 10-bit video digital-to-analog converter and a 27MHz advanced digital filter for a superior picture, and component, S-Video and composite video outputs for high connectivity and optimum performance. Four Head Hi-Fi VCR Features VCR Plus+ C3ô In keeping with Sensory Science's long history of producing high-quality, advanced VCRs, the DVR-5000 Hi-Fi VCR seamlessly integrates with the DVD and contains four heads for superior slow motion and stop action, and VCR Plus+ C3ô for easy programming of the VCR, cable box, and satellite in one easy step. The VCR plays back S-VHS tapes at better than standard resolution and has a 16-event/one-year timer recording feature. Other features of the DVR-5000 include a joystick remote with glow-in-the-dark keys to control both the DVD and VCR functions, A/V switching between the TV, DVD and VCR deck with the TV View button for ease of use, and the Auto Setup function that automatically sets the clock and searches for channels.
