Convenience
Sound
• MTS Broadcast
Stereo Reception
Receive and record stereo
sound from MTS (Multichannel
Television Sound) stereo TV
broadcasts, where available.
• Low-Noise Pre-Amplifier
100% of all incoming and
outgoing audio and video must
travel through pre-amplifiers. A
poor design can cut performance
significantly, even if high-quality
camcorders and DVD equipment
are connected. Stressing
compatibility and performance,
RCA engineering design assures
both audio and video noise are
minimized. With distortion
reduced, pre-recorded movies
sound richer, clearer and more
distinctive. Visually all movies,
including home movies copied
from high-quality camcorder
tapes, play back with added
performance and quality.

Program (SAP)
Decodes the second
audio program available
on some broadcasts.
• Front-Fired Speaker System

drivers provide excellent
imaging while localizing
voices at the screen.
• Sound Logic
™
Audio
Leveler
When turned on, eliminates
the annoying “blast” of sound
during commercial breaks.
Additionally, soft sounds
are amplified, maintaining
a constant volume level.
