AKA: DVR57H
This is arguably the most sophisticated and useful entertainment machine on the market, with next-generation viewing and recording features. The DVR-57H makes “Find it—Store It—Burn it” a reality.
TiVo Service: Can you say “world’s first”? Included with the DVR-57H—with no startup cost or monthly fees—is the revolutionary TiVo BasicTM Service. Setup is very simple, and finding and scheduling your favorite shows is a breeze.
120GB Hard Drive: With the built-in 120GB hard drive you can record up to 120 hours of material—off the air, cable, or satellite, or your home movies—for short-term storage and viewing. With the DVR-57H, there’s no going back to the old way of watching TV.
DVD Recording: And those shows and other content you want to keep for longer? Burn them onto a DVD-R (permanent; cannot be erased) or DVD–RW (can be erased/written over many times). The DVR-57H features up to 18x record speed, so you’ll be able to dub a 1-hour program to DVD in basic EP quality mode in just over 3 minutes. (DVR Version 2.0 4X Media.) You can even record content to the hard drive while dubbing different content from the hard drive to a DVD. It’s fast and easy, and the content remains in a digital state throughout, so the quality level is very high.
Sophisticated Video Circuitry: The DVR-57H features PureCinema 2:3 Progressive Scan for a more film-like presentation when watching movies; a 9-bit/27MHz video DAC for a truly superior picture; Faroudja Directional Correlation De-interlacing, or DCDi™, for a smoother, more natural picture; and a sophisticated noise reduction circuit which can achieve an amazing 6-10dB of noise reduction.
Superior Audio Features: The DVR-57H also features Dolby Digital and DTS Digital surround sound outputs, plus CD and MP3 compatibility.
Double-Layered Chassis: The Elite DVR-57h is equipped with a heavy duty, double-layered chassis that reduces vibrations and provides better signal readout accuracy. The result? Improved video and audio reproduction.
Two Year Warranty: The DVR-57H comes with the Elite two-year limited warranty.
