Symphonic DVD / VCR combos save you both money and space. They offer high-end DVD video output, MP3 music playback from homemade CD-Rs, DVD-R/RW playback, and compatibility with VHS tapes.

Other DVD features include Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel digital output (a coaxial connection, cable not included) for hookup with a compatible stereo speaker system, simulated surround sound, search speeds up to 100x, 10-point bookmarking, and parental lock.

The VCR's four-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play and clear still-frame images. Nineteen-micron heads deliver the clearest possible picture when recording or viewing. 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.

Remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and warranty information included.
