Amazon.com Product Description
Now you can enjoy the best features of a progressive scan DVD player and digital video recorder in a single powerful device. The DRS7000N is equipped with a 40 GB hard drive, which lets you record up to 35 hours of over-the-air, cable, and satellite broadcasts for later viewing. Digital video recording is far superior to traditional VCR recording, as it gives the viewer more control, provides a better picture, and stores far more footage--all without the hassles of videocassettes. Adding to the DVR's value is the built-in DVD player, which not only plays your favorite movies, but also saves space in your entertainment cabinet by combining two components in one.

The DVD player employs progressive scan technology to render seamless, flicker-free images on high-definition and HD-ready TVs. Progressive scanning, called 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture with twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The enhanced frame rate makes DVD movies look as good (or better) than they do in the theater.

Adding to the DVD player's value is its support for audio CDs, CD-R/RWs, VCDs, SVCDs, and even MP3 files burned on a CD-R disc. Users can even watch JPEG slideshows through the digital photo viewer, and then play an MP3 soundtrack over the top. And to enjoy the best possible sound, viewers can connect the DVD player to an A/V surround receiver via the coaxial and optical digital outputs. The device supports both Dolby Digital and DTS surround formats, along with virtual surround sound.

A final bonus stems from the onboard, no-fee GUIDE Plus+ Gold interactive TV guide, which makes it easier than ever to schedule recordings on the DVR. Viewers simply locate the program they want to record on the easy-to-navigate display and then hit the timer button. The device also supports one-touch recording should you want to record a show immediately.

Additional features include multiple inputs and outputs, including an iLink DV input and component and S-video outputs; a multilingual onscreen display (English, French, and Spanish); and a multibrand remote control. The DRS7000N measures 16.9 by 3.9 by 14.4 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.

5 out of 5 stars Great Flexible Projector.......2000-08-07

After reading several great reviews about the VT540 in Presentations Magazine and online in AV Avenue I decided to check out the VT440. I did'nt need a high resolution projector like the VT540 since I usually use PowerPoint and videos for my presentations. The VT440 is also about $1,500 less expensive.

When using my XGA notebook the VT440 did a great job of displaying my PowerPoint slides and appeared much brighter than my old projector. I also noticed that colors appear much bolder and accurate.

Setting up the projector is simple. All you have to do is make sure that you make all your connections before turning on your computer and projector. If you follow the proper sequence the projector automatically adjusts to the computer and fine tunes the image.

I also noticed a huge improvement in the display of videos that I use to introduce my company during training sessions.

The VT440 is a little larger than some of the 6 pound projectors on the market, but it performs much better than the other models that I tested. I usually travel by car so a few extra pounds is not a big deal.

The thing that really won me over was the service program offered by NEC. If the projector needs to be serviced during the first two years you own it NEC sends out a replacement projector instead of making you go through the hassle of finding someone to fix it.

Overall I am extremely happy with the VT440
