Introduction

FireWire® with Two-Way DTVLink®

Control your IEEE-1394 components via your HDTV! Just link them together via the 2-way DTVLink jacks and you can network your high-speed compatible 1394 digital components. The two-way jacks allow the audio and video signals to flow into and out from the 1394 components, such as the DVR10 (see below).

Compatible with the Optional DVR10 Hard Disk Drive — Pause Live Digital TV and record digital programs

RCA offers an Audio Video Hard Disk Drive (model DVR10) with IEEE 1394, available at your local RCA dealer or www.rca.com. The DVR10 Audio Video Hard Disk Drive (AVHDD) component lets you pause live TV, record shows, and play them back (digital broadcasts only—ATSC and QAM signals).

To get the most out of your HDTV’s web browser, purchase the keyboard (model KBR755TA1) designed specifically for your TV (go to page 84 for ordering information).

Audio System

NetConnect

With an Ethernet connection and a web browser built into your TV, you can access the Internet from your TV*. To use the web browser, you’ll need a high- speed connection, such as a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) unit or cable modem and a subscription to an ISP (Internet Service Provider). DSL, cable modem, and ISP subscription sold separately.

*The browser has limitations and might not be able to interpret all files, such as streaming audio and video.

Enjoy the great sound system in your HDTV with 60 watts total power. Your HDTV has front speakers with two 1” tweeters and two 5” midrange drivers to create incredible sound. A 7-band on-screen graphic equalizer allows customization of the sound quality. TruSurround XT™ solves the problem of playing 6.1 multichannel content over two speakers. It delivers a compelling, virtual, surround sound experience through any internal television speakers.

Record Output Jacks

Because the VCRs in most households are analog and can’t interpret digital signals, recording HDTV broadcasts wasn’t possible without purchasing additional equipment. That’s why RCA added Record Output Jacks to this HDTV — the RECORD OUTPUT with its AUDIO OUT L/R jacks enable you to record both analog and digital programs to an analog VCR. RCA understands how you watch TV and what is necessary to make the transition to HDTV seamless.

CinemaScreen™

Check out the black, borderless frame around your HDTV’s screen. This is not just a design feature— the CinemaScreen actually enhances contrast. Feel like you’re part of the picture with CinemaScreen.

HDLP61 specifications

The RCA HDLP61 is a high-definition rear-projection television that was introduced in the early 2000s, capturing the attention of consumers seeking a balance between performance and affordability in large screen televisions. With its sleek design and impressive specifications, the HDLP61 quickly became a popular choice for home entertainment.

One of the primary features of the RCA HDLP61 is its substantial 61-inch screen, which allows for an immersive viewing experience. The television utilizes DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, a key aspect that contributes to its high-quality picture display. DLP technology relies on a digital micromirror device (DMD) to reflect light and create images, which results in vibrant colors and sharp details. This technology also minimizes the risk of image burn-in that can be a concern with other display types such as CRT and plasma.

The HDLP61 supports a native resolution of 720p, providing clear and crisp images that enhance the viewing of high-definition content. Additionally, it is compatible with 1080p signals, making it a flexible choice for various types of media sources, including cable, satellite, and Blu-ray players. The television also features a 16:9 aspect ratio, which aligns perfectly with modern high-definition content.

In terms of connectivity, the RCA HDLP61 is equipped with multiple input options, including HDMI, component, and S-Video ports, allowing users to connect various devices such as gaming consoles, DVD players, and streaming devices with ease. This versatility ensures that users can enjoy a wide range of entertainment options on the large screen.

Another notable characteristic of the HDLP61 is its built-in audio system, which includes speakers that deliver decent sound quality, complementing the visual experience. However, audiophiles may opt to connect external sound systems for a more robust audio experience.

The RCA HDLP61 is also designed with user-friendly controls and features, including an intuitive on-screen menu that makes navigating settings a breeze. The television also includes features such as adjustable brightness, contrast, and color settings, allowing users to customize their viewing experience according to personal preference.

Overall, the RCA HDLP61 stands out in the realm of rear-projection televisions because of its combination of advanced DLP technology, vast connectivity options, and user-friendly design. It continues to be remembered as a budget-friendly option that delivered good performance during its time in the consumer electronics market.
