Toshiba's DVD/VCR Combination Players Bring Consumers Convenience and Flexibility in One Home Entertainment Unit

SD-V291 and SD-V391 models are now available through major retailers nationwide

HILTON HEAD, S.C., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba, a primary developer and leader in DVD technology, announced today that its new DVD/VCR combination models on display at the Toshiba Dealer Line show are now available nationwide. The SD-V291 and SD-V391 offer consumers a convenient, one-unit solution for high-quality entertainment in both DVD and VHS formats. The SD- V391 brings the added benefit of ColorStream Pro® progressive scan output for the highest quality digital video output. Both models feature a high- performance, four-head Hi-Fi VCR, providing a perfect solution for consumers who maintain both DVD and VHS libraries.

Demonstrating its market leadership in DVD combination products, Toshiba engineered the SD-V391 and SD-V291 with all of the advanced features and cosmetic appeal expected from Toshiba. Both units offer a sleek, silver design that complements existing components in an entertainment system, plus a full array of home theater ready connections, including digital audio outputs.

The SD-V291 has discreet ColorStream® Component Video outputs while the new SD-V391 boasts ColorStream Pro® progressive scan outputs for a stunning picture characterized by superior image purity, for amazing film-like reproduction of DVD movies. On both models, optical and coaxial outputs provide full compatibility with Dolby® Digital and DTS® digital systems. In addition, readily accessible front-panel audio/video inputs permit easy connection from a camcorder for simple dubbing of home movies to the VHS deck.

"Consumers have openly embraced the DVD format and the convenience it offers for home entertainment, yet many consumers may still have VHS collections of family videos," said Jodi Sally, Director of Marketing for Toshiba Digital Audio/Video Products. "Toshiba's high-performance DVD/VCR models allow both movie and video enthusiasts to take full advantage of the benefits offered by both DVD and VHS formats."

More than just all-in-one players, the SD-V291 and SD-V391 are packed with convenience features designed to simplify the interface between the user and the player. Both models allow playback of a DVD while simultaneously recording a TV broadcast on VHS. Consumers with an interest in digital photography will find the Toshiba "dual deck" models a perfect complement to their hobby. Both feature a JPEG feature that makes it easy to view digital photo shots from a variety of digital cameras.

The SD-V291 and SD-V391 models offer compatible playback of a variety of optical content including DVD-Video, DVD-R, audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW and Video CD as well as MP3 software files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs.

For enhanced picture quality during VHS playback, the 4-head Hi-Fi VCR on both models utilizes a pair of 19-micron video heads which deliver exceptional (near SP) picture quality of content recorded and played back in the extended play (EP) mode.

Making VCR recording even easier, both dual deck models offer "Just Fit" recording which automatically adjusts the tape speed, ensuring the highest recording quality, to accommodate specific length programs in one tape.

With their attractive cosmetic design and home theater versatility, Toshiba's dual deck models redefine the meaning of home entertainment convenience! Both models are available now at a suggested retail price of $249.99 for the SD-V391 and $199.99 for the SD-V291.
