Introduction

FireWire® with Two-Way DTVLink®

Control your DTVLink components via your HDTV! Just link them together via the 2-way DTVLink jacks and you can network your compatible DTVLink digital components. The two-way jacks allow the audio and video signals to flow into and out from DTVLink components, such as the DVR2080 or DVR2160 (see below).

Compatible with the Optional Audio Video Hard Disk Drive — Pause Live Digital TV and Record Digital Programs

RCA offers an Audio Video Hard Disk Drive (model DVR2080 or DVR2160) with DTVLink, available at your local RCA dealer or www.rca.com. The DVR2080 or DVR2160 Audio Video Hard Disk Drive (ADVHDD) component lets you pause live TV, record shows, and play them back (it records digital broadcasts only--ATSC and QAM signals).

NetConnect

To get the most out of your HDTV’s web browser, use the supplied keyboard (model KBR755TA1) designed specifically for your TV.

Audio System

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.

Additionally, your RCA Scenium HDTV enables you to access photos directly from your PC and display them on the TV! To find out more about this feature, go to www.rca.com/Access/Scenium/311.

*The browser can’t interpret all types of files, such as streaming audio and video.

Enjoy the great sound system in your HDTV with 60 watts total power. A 7-band on-screen graphic equalizer allows customization of the sound quality. TruSurround XT™ solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. It delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through the internal television speakers.

You can take advantage of the 6-Channel direct Audio Outputs (Matrix Surround, Subwoofer, etc.) if you have an amplifier you want to connect to your HDTV. Then choose to control the volume from the TV or the amplifier in the Fixed/Variable Output option in the Audio Connections menu. If you own an amplifier with digital audio, connect to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT instead.

Audio/Video Output Jacks

Because the VCRs in most households are analog and can’t receive or record digital TV signals, recording HDTV broadcasts wasn’t possible without purchasing additional equipment. That’s why RCA added AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to this HDTV. These jacks enable you to record both analog and digital programs. RCA understands how you watch TV and what’s necessary to make the transition to HDTV seamless.
