Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc., today unveiled
the consumer electronics industry's most advanced HDTV receiver/controller,
the HD-6000. The HD-6000, which will be available at selected
retailers in later this year, was introduced at the company's
annual dealer line show in Huntington Beach, Calif.
The HD-6000 includes a high definition PVR (personal video
recorder) with a 120-gigabyte hard drive; an MPEG SD encoder;
CableCARD(R) slot; AMVP2(TM), Mitsubishi's second-generation
Advanced Multimedia Video Processor; an all-format ATSC digital
receiver; and an analog NTSC tuner. The unit also includes
Mitsubishi's NetCommand(R) 4.0 system control, PerfectColor(TM)
6-way color adjustment and TV Guide On Screen(R) electronic
program guide.
Networking is easier than ever, as the HD-6000 comes with
a wide array of analog and digital inputs and outputs, which,
when matched with NetCommand, makes it the control center
for a premier home theater system. The seven inputs include
one HDMI, two composite video, two S-Video and three component
video inputs. Outputs include one HDMI, one composite video,
one S-Video and one component video, along with two FireWire(R)
(IEEE 1394) digital home networking ports.
"HD-6000 owners now have the best of all worlds,"
said Max Wasinger, senior vice president of sales and marketing
for Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. "They can
operate an entire network of analog and digital devices, view
and record images in any format, and record their favorite
shows in high definition while watching other programming.
And because the PVR is part of the tuner, there's no sorting
through screens and boxes or changing remotes. What's more,
they can record up to 12 hours of high definition of programming,
and up to 72 hours of non-HD shows, without having to pay
a PVR subscription fee."
The HD-6000 can be discretely added to any display to deliver
true high definition resolution, enhanced features and convenient,
high definition recording capability -- without PVR subscription
fees.
In separate announcements, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics
America introduced its new lines of LCD and plasma displays,
Digital Cable Ready projection televisions, microdisplay projection
televisions, and its expanded line of DVD players, HD digital
recorders and receivers, and analog VHS recorders.
