Thomson Scenium DTH 8000 DVD recorder
Recording with DVD will become a must when Thomson delivers
its first DVD+RW/+R recorder. The Thomson Scenium DTH 8000
will encourage mainstream consumers to enter this emerging
home entertainment product category. The full-featured
recordable DVD player will hit the market in September
2003 across Europe. The +RW format offers numerous features
and benefits that provide consumers with time saving and
easy operating capabilities. THOMSON is committed to DVD
+RW because it provides consumers the most compatible,
easy-to -use format. It has the great benefit of being
backward compatible with many existing DVD -ROM drives & DVD
video players. It enables home video creation on a high
quality DVD with Video, photos and music.
Combining the recording ability of a VCR and the digital
quality of a DVD, the Thomson Scenium DVD recorder allows
consumers to record their favourite television shows and
home videos onto a DVD. This is the first DVD recorder
to incorporate the easy to navigate NAVICLICK interactive
electronic TV Program guide and with one touch record,
recording off air programs is simple. Finally, The DTH
8000 will offer a disc library function to view instantly
the contents of the recorded DVD+R/+RW discs (up-to 200
titles) as well as a front USB input to connect a Flash
Memory Card Reader for playback or transfer of JPEG or
mp3 files.
