Initial DTV-262 26-Inch HD-Ready LCD TV/DVD Combo , Silver Now you can work, play, and enjoy a wealth of digital entertainment–including vivid DVD movies and video feeds from DTV receivers–from a compact and stylish flat-panel television. Initial’s DTV-262 combination LCD TV and slot-loading DVD player doubles as a computer monitor. The set’s 26-inch, anti-glare screen is configured in a 16:9 aspect ratio to closely match the original frame dimensions of your favorite feature films. A handy media port accepts streaming media via USB 1.1 connection and also reads image files off SD, MMC, and Memory Stick flash-memory.

The DVD player offers shuffle and program play modes, and it spins JPEG image CDs and Kodak Picture CDs in additional DVD-Video discs. Additional DVD features include zoom/shrink playback (2x, 3x, 4x; 1/2x, 1/3x, 1/4x) fast forward and reverse playback (2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 16x, 32x), frame-by-frame playback, and a screen saver/power-saving function. The player’s firmware is upgradeable.

Connect additional components via 2 composite-video inputs or the unit’s HD-compatible component-video inputs. For your PC, you get a choice of either standard RGB analog (15-pin D-Sub) or cutting-edge, direct-digital DVI-I. Composite- and S-video outputs let you pass a video signal to a digital video recorder or VCR.

The set’s built-in left/right speakers are powered by 6 watts each. A digital-audio output passes both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround signals to compatible processors and multichannel speaker systems so you can enjoy spacious, enveloping surround sound with your movies, concerts, and DTV programming.

There’s standard analog RCA audio outputs, too, which let you take advantage of the unit’s ability to decode audio from HDCD (High-Definition Compatible Digital) compact discs. HDCD is a 20-bit encoding method used on many commercial CDs to deliver better sound than is possible through standard CDs. A headphone jack affords private or late-night listening without disturbing others.
Customer Review: Bad Exerience
The TV which was received was not the one pictured in the Amazon ad nor
described in the description. The TV received had speakers underneath and not on the sides. The ad noted that the TV had frame by frame capability which the one received did not. Discount Jungle offered a $20 refund or to take it back at my expense (over $50) I seem to be stuck with it.
Customer Review: Good buy
We have the 23″ version of the tv/dvd combo…and love it. The only issue we’ve found is not being able to program our cable tv remote to this tv…not compatible. We have to use 2 remotes (one to change channels and one for on/off and volume). Other than that, we are thrilled with our purchase. We’ve had the tv for 2 years now without a hitch.
