Samsung DVD-V4600 DVD / VCR Combo

Samsung DVD-V4600 DVD / VCR Combo
With its high-end component-video DVD outputs, VHS recording and playback abilities, built-in MP3 decoding, and compatibility with JPEG image CDs and Kodak Picture CDs, Samsung’s DVD-V4600 DVD/VCR combo is a conveniently slim entertainment dynamo. Now you are able to enjoy a slideshow of your digital pictures right on your television. It’ll play video-mode DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs, too, making it a great gift for members of the family with whom you’d like to share your home videos on DVD. This model also includes front-panel audio/video inputs so you’ll be able to quickly and easily hook up a camcorder or gaming console.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you’re merely thinking of “sooner or later,” the DVD-V4600 stands ready to 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 the use of twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images even as eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The VCR delivers hi-fi stereo sound and quasi-S-VHS (SQPB) playback, which helps you to view S-VHS cassettes–normally only playable on high-end S-VHS machines–in standard VHS resolution. The unit’s 4-head design ensures smooth slow-motion play (forward and reverse) and clear still-frame images. Use the VCR’s advance-record settings to make sure you never miss a favorite show or pertinent one-time broadcast.

Probably the greatest component-video outputs (for DVD only) help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, even as composite- and S-video outputs bring DVD compatibility with nearly any television. The VCR output is composite-video and RF only. A set of left/right analog-audio outputs for both DVD and VCR components channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound DVD signals can be routed through the player’s digital-audio outputs (one each optical and coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

Another handy feature is EZ View letterbox eliminator, which helps you to enjoy full-screen pictures on 4:3 aspect-ratio TVs–even when you’re watching widescreen DVDs.
