TECHNOLOGY
Your Next DVD Player
By Peter Suciu
Introduced in 1997, the DVD format has reshaped the way we watch movies at home. Now that basic DVD players cost well under $100, many movie buffs have one for every TV in the house. But for people with a sophisticated home-theater system, it makes sense to look into pricier models that offer advanced features and superior video. These players do a lot more than show movies.
The Toshiba RS-TX20 ($600, toshiba.com ) is basically a TV production studio in a box. It contains a 120GB hard-disk drive and TiVo service (subscription optional) for recording programs. And it can record DVDs as well as play them. That means you can make DVDs of your favorite movies and shows. There's even a video input upfront, which lets you easily transfer camcorder footage to the hard drive or directly to a DVD.
For those with large libraries of VHS home movies, the Pioneer DTR-500 ($499, pioneer electronics.com ), available in September, will make the transition from analog to digital simple. This unit even lets you record from a DVD to a VHS cassette. Why would you want to do that? So your summer festivities can be savored by your less digitally enabled friends and relatives.
