Some units may also support advanced audio technologies like Dolby Digital, which enhances the sound experience when watching movies.

RCA TV/DVD combos are designed with user convenience in mind. Most include a remote control for easy navigation through channels and DVD functions. Additionally, the interface typically features straightforward menus, making it simple for users to access settings, adjust picture and sound preferences, and navigate DVD content.
