Sony High-Definition Digital Video Recorder

With this little genie in a bottle, you'll be able to record onto a 500GB hard disk drive rather than a tape. This means you'll have the magical ability to record and play at the same time, as well as play and record. Skip the commercials. Pause for a bathroom break. Or, skip forward to real time anytime you want. You get four fast forward and rewind speeds to provide superior control and demonstrate your true powers, there's even Slow-which allows you to slow down the action anytime (not just replay) for a good, continuous look at the details of the action. Because this HDTV's built-in CableCARD slot makes it Digital Cable Ready, you can plug the cable directly into your TV and enjoy HDTV and digital cable without having to use a set-top box anymore. And, not only does the CableCARD slot allow you to throw out the cable box, it also functions as a security component, enabling the delivery of secure digital audio and video signals. The On Screen TV Guide makes for easy program searching and scheduled recording. Selecting your show for recording is as easy as highlighting and pressing "ok". For digital imaging enthusiasts, convenient JPEG and MPEG file playback is available via the Memory Stick media slot. Simply slide the Memory Stick media out of a compatible camera or camcorder, for example, and into the HDTV's slot so see your images on the TV screen. You can even impress friends and family by viewing your family's photos, or customized slide shows onscreen while listening to your MP3 audio tracks. minimize
