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.

The inclusion of a built-in tuner means that users can access over-the-air broadcasts without the need for an additional set-top box, making it convenient for cord-cutters.

In terms of sound, the RCA HDLP50W151 incorporates a robust audio system that enhances the overall experience. Enhanced audio features work to produce clear dialogue and dynamic sound effects, complementing the high-quality visuals.
