TECHNOLOGY
& BENEFITS
VIDEO
Network NAVI - The Network NAVI system connects you to your home
network via a LAN 10/100 port (Ethernet), allowing for greater
integration with a PC and other Network NAVI products with the ability to:
- Dub copy-free content from one RD-XS55 to another if both are
connected to the same network
- Stream recorded content or even live programming to a PC
- Upload custom Menu backgrounds for creating DVD-R/RW discs
- Edit and add title information to recorded content from a PC
- Remotely schedule recordings via email
- Receive automiatic software upgrades
- Use a PC scroll mouse to control the recorder for detailed video
editing.
Video Upconversion - 720p/1080i - HDMI™ can support uncom-
pressed digital video up to HDTV level resolution. Thus, the player makes
use of this conduit by upconverting the standard DVD picture resolution
to nearly HDTV-quality with output resolutions of 720p or 1080i. This
makes a DVD player with an HDMI™ connection the perfect match for
today's digital televisions. And because this conversion is performed in
the player, the signal remains free from excessive digital-to-analog
conversion artifacts.
Multi-Drive Recorder - Toshiba Multi-Drive DVD recorders are multi-for-
mat DVD recorders designed to provide the greatest flexibility in record-
ing and playback by supporting DVD-RAM, DVD-R, and DVD-RW*
recordable disc formats.
AUDIO
WMA & MP3 Playback - Recordable Compact Discs (CD-R &
CD-RW) with music stored in either the Windows Media™ Audio or MP3
file formats can be enjoyed.
CONVENIENCE
TV Guide On ScreenTM - This Interactive Program Guide provides an
easy to read listing of the television programs available to view or record.
The full 2004 version incorporated in the RD-XS54 provides: an 8-day
program listing, flexibility of recording directly to DVD or the HDD, the
ability to perform keyword searches for locating favorite programs and
includes the G-Link IR Blaster for controlling cable boxes. When record-
ing television programs, the name of the show, along with the channel
and date, are automatically captured.
Chase Play & Live Chase Play (Pause Live TV) - Chase Play allows
the user to begin watching a recording that is already in progress. The
Live Chase Play feature lets you 'pause' a live recording and then return
to it later. During playback of both modes, a bar graph can be
displayed on-screen depicting the 'progress' or location of the playback
signal with regards to the real time recorded signal.
Satellite Programming and STB IR allow, via supplied IR blaster,
channel control of DBS satellite boxes for manual timer programming.
