These models introduce Zenith customers to the next generation
of home video recording, enabling them to digitally record
favorite shows automatically, pause live TV on command,
and record their own DVDs. The new models are the XBH312
DVD/PVR combo and the DVR313 DVD recorder.
The XBH312 DVD/PVR combo combines a DVD/CD player with
a generous 40- gigabyte hard drive, making it easy to
record, play, store and edit hours of video programs.
The XBH312 features an internal NTSC tuner for high-
quality program reception, and an electronic program
guide to make finding and recording favorite TV programs
almost as easy as watching them.
Viewers can record one program while watching another,
program TV shows for later recording, show still images
in thumbnail format, and enjoy a variety of editing and
file management features. Like Zenith's DVD players,
the XBH312 includes a single-disc, progressive scan DVD
player fully compatible with DVDs, CDs, CD-R and CD-RW
discs, and MP3 files.
The DVR313 DVD recorder enables viewers to record onto
popularly available DVD-R/RW discs, and also includes
an internal DVD/CD player. Designed for convenience,
the DVR313 makes it easy to record, play back and store
hours of programming. It can record in 5.1-channel Dolby
Digital® Sound, and features a variety of video editing
functions. Its progressive-scan DVD player is fully compatible
with DVDs, CDs, CD-R and CD-RW discs, and MP3 files.
Both the XBH312 DVD/PVR combo and DVR313 DVD recorder
will be available in the third quarter at a suggested
price of $499.
