Product Description
Hook up the RCA DRC240N DVD Player featuring DivX Playback to view downloaded video content on the television instead of the computer. Watch DVDs from your own collection, or use a PC to download and transfer compressed video to DVD or CD-R, based on the MPEG-4 standard and DivX codec. In addition, the DRC240N incorporates mp3 and WMA playback for audio CDs and features Digital PhotoView and mp3 combination playback for a unique way to share digital photos set to a personalized soundtrack. The slot-load, progressive scan player includes a bookmarking function, Scene Again one-button instant replay, one set of video outputs, an S-Video output and analog audio output.
Amazon.com Product Description
RCA's shining, silvery DRC240N offers not only good looks, but an array of cutting-edge features like DivX (MPEG-4) video compatibility, progressive-scan technology for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs, JPEG image viewing, MP3 music file playback, and compatibility with just about every recordable DVD format, from DVD-R to DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking "someday soon," the DRC240N is equipped to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

Like MP3, DivX is a compression technology that can shrink digital media files to sizes that can be easily moved over the Internet. Based on MPEG-4 video compression techniques, DivX maintains high visual quality while minimizing file sizes. This lets online content providers offer high-quality, low-bandwidth programs like movie trailers, animated shorts, and even full-length movies (many available as limited-time "rentals").

The DivX-certified DRC240N plays recordable media (CD or DVD) formatted with DivX 5, DivX 4, DivX 3, and DivX VOD (video-on-demand) content in compliance with DivX-certified technical requirements. To take advantage of the player's DivX compatibility, first browse Web sites and select videos to download. One content-rich portal is www.divx.com. The site will instruct you on the minimum system requirements needed to download content to your computer. Once you've downloaded your program, simply burn it to a compatible CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, insert the disc into your DRC240N DVD player, and you're ready to watch--even if you're nowhere near your PC.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. A 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures optimum decoding of all disc formats.

If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: Virtual Surround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV). Other features include parental lock, Scene Again (one-button 10-second instant replay), bookmarking (up to 12 bookmarks per disc), and resume play (handy when you need to stop playback and pick up, at a later point, exactly where you left off).
