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.

audio program available

drivers provide excellent
imaging while localizing

• 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.
