Apex ADV-3800 Progressive-Scan DVD-VCR Combo

It’s easy to say “Out with the old and in with the new”. For most of us there’s a gradual transition. One can’t part with our VHS VCR even as adapting to new DVD video recordings. So Apex Digital has introduced the ADV3800 that combines a VHS VCR and a DVD Player in one unit so you’ve got the best of both.

Spin movies, music, photo CDs, and enjoy VHS tapes right from one handy device. The ADV-3800 from Apex includes a progressive-scan DVD-Video player with MP3 and WMA file playback in addition to a four-head, hi-fi stereo VCR all in a single sleek, silver chassis.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you’re merely thinking of “sooner or later,” the ADV-3800 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, known as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture the usage of twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images even as eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

For non-HD-ready TVs sets, the unit’s among the finest component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, even as composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. And, for standard 4:3 aspect-ratio TVs, the unit’s Active Fullscreen Function (AFF) allows you to view widescreen movies in full-screen, without black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

The ADV-3800 also delivers the convenience of VHS recording and playback–an effective way to time shift your TV viewing and share your camcorder footage with loved ones, and the only way to enjoy your extensive library of videocassettes. Your camcorder or gaming console plugs right into convenient front-panel jacks for fast hookups.

The VCR’s four-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. If you route the stereo output to an AV receiver, you’ll be able to even enjoy four-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded cassettes.
