This stylish combo unit saves space even as simplifying your entertainment hookups, providing convenient front-panel audio/video jacks simplify hookup with camcorders and video game consoles. The XBV442 plays CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, MP3 and WMA CDs, JPEG image CDs, and of course standard DVD-Videos.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you’re merely thinking of “at some point,” the XBV442 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs through its progressive-scan component-video outputs. Progressive scanning, referred to 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.

Composite- and S-video outputs (select between S-video or component-video outputs) bring compatibility with nearly any television. Other features include 4x and 6x moveable zoom, variable high-speed scan (2x, 4x, 16x, and 100x), parental locks, bookmarking, 20-track CD programming, and repeat and resume play.

The VCR section offers 4 heads (for clear slow-motion and stop-action features) and stereo sound. The deck’s 19-micron video heads maintain clarity all through recording or playback in EP (extended play) mode, auto digital tracking adjusts for optimal picture settings for every tape you load, and auto clock set maintains the correct time and even adjusts for daylight savings. You’ll’t program the unit to record at specific times, but it does come with a handy Instant Recording button.

For the simplest hookup with your TV, You’ll use a single RCA composite-video connection to handle both DVD and VCR outputs. If you wish to have a higher-quality connection from the DVD player, You’ll use a component- or S-video cable to an additional input on your TV (the VCR image requires a composite-video or RF connection with your TV). You’ll choose from an optical and a coaxial digital-audio output to feed a surround-sound signal to your Dolby Digital- or DTS-decoding audio/video receiver.

If you wouldn’t have a surround receiver or 6-channel speaker setup, You’ll still make every movie night the ultimate experience: the unit simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).
