The Dolby Digital decoder creates a home theatre experience with up to 5.1 channels of wide band frequency response. The five main discrete channels have a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. The component video output provides optimal video quality for viewing DVDs on compatible HDTVs.

Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

What's in the Box
HITB package includes receiver/amplifier with 5-disc DVD/CD changer, one center channel speaker, four satellite speakers (two front, two rear), speaker connectors, one subwoofer, composite A/V cable, AM antenna, remote control (with batteries), printed operating instructions

4.0 out of 5 stars Incredible deal for the price, December 21, 2006

By 

S M "firepepper red" (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: RCA RTD207 250 Watts 5-Disc DVD/CD Home Theater System (Electronics)

First of let me start by saying that you CANNOT compare this unit to a system that costs hundreds more... it simply cannot match the sound quality or the features. You can easily compare this to systems in the $200 range because the sound quality is very similar and this unit actually has more features than some of the $200+ home theater in a box units. Also, the main reason I bought this RCA was because the price seemed too good to be true (I paid $89 bucks with no rebate hassles!). Now with that said I must say that this really was one of the best audio purchases I have made in a long time. If you want the best sound and the latest features then this system is not for you (something with excellent sound and the latest features is at least $300 more than this). But as far as inexpensive home theater systems go.. this one is really a great choice for the money.

*** Plus Points Include: ***

- 5 disc changer that will play mp3's, dvds, vcds, cds, and even display jpeg pictures. You can load 5 DVDs with MP3s and you have yourself a 20+ Gb MP3 player!

- pretty good bass from the subwoofer that sounds rich without being too "thumpy"

- Overall audio quality is really much better than anything else in the $100 range

- usb port is the most convenient feature because it lets you quickly copy music off your pc onto a usb thumbdrive and play it on your home theater. You can even connect your digital camera to the port and look at pictures saved on the camera... a camera dock alone usually costs more than this home theater system!!

- everything is color coded to make installation a no brainer

*** Negative Points Inlcude: ***

- no sound settings(like hall, studio, concert, etc). This is not a big deal because most of the time people do not really use these settings. The only oddity is that there are no equalizer settings or even settings for bass and treble.

- No display for the track title or DVD title. This is the one major drawback of this unit... although it does list the titles and filenames on the tv screen. The LED screen on the unit only lists the track number and the time elapsed.

- No S-video out. Although it does have the more pricey component video out for newer progressive scan tvs.

- Speaker wire is a bit short if you have a large room... though it is perfect for small to medium sized rooms.

- Does not offer many connection options because it only has one video out and one (left and right) audio in.


Overally this is an incredible deal for people looking for their first home theater system. For the price of mid range boom box you can have a decent quality 5 disc home theater that sounds better and does so much more!

I recently bought this product and I LOVED IT. I have a moderate sized room and this this blows it away. The soung quality is great. The Bass is great. I love watching movies with the volume all the way up. This thing is loud and clear so i get to enjoy my movies.:)

The down sides, the volume only goes up to 40, but if your using it in a bedrooom that loud enough trust me.

Its not really ment for a big living space so if you want that youll need one with more watts

FOR THE PRICE YOU CANT LOOSE. I LOVE IT Plus it hold 5 cds, that great. I blast it almost every day:) Clear just the right amount of BAss

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound Quality for Smaller Rooms, April 2, 2007

At first I set this up in the living room for a short time. It wasn't as loud at times as would have liked it to be but it still sounded good. However, when I moved it to my bedroom (which is smaller of course) the sound really came out! The bass is rich and, for a system without graphic eaqulizers, the sound is really good. It is color cordinated very well, which makes it incredibly simple to set up, and the remote controll is simple to use as well. I'm very pleased with this purchase and would hope others will feel the same. But remember that it sounds better in smaller rooms.
