SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Sensory Science Corporation (Amex: VCR) today announced it will introduce the DVR-5000 combination DVD and VCR with enhanced features and capabilities for the ultimate in convenience and performance. The world's first combination DVD and VCR in one, the DVR-5000 is the perfect combination product for consumers who wish to convert their living rooms into home theaters without having to purchase multiple components, and provides users with the ability to upgrade to a DVD without losing the compelling features and versatility of a VCR.

The numerous features on the DVR-5000 make this combination a compelling buy for both the experienced DVD enthusiast as well as the DVD newcomer. The unit has complete versatility to play DVDs, audio and video CDs, and VHS tapes, and users can watch a DVD while recording a TV program. RF inputs and outputs located on the back of the unit allow for connections to both new and older model televisions, a feature not included on regular DVD players. Users also can record non-copy protected DVDs to VHS at the touch of one button.

``The DVR-5000 is the most exciting product we've introduced in years, and we've already received strong orders from retailers who recognize the convenience, affordability, and numerous benefits that this new DVD-VCR combination offers consumers,'' said Roger Hackett, Sensory Science's chairman and chief executive officer. ``We believe that the DVR-5000's ease of use and unique features will attract many potential DVD buyers, and we have filed for numerous patents on this product. Though a DVD can't replace a VCR's countless benefits, this combination product offers the perfect bridge between these two popular technologies to offer a powerful home theater experience. With the growing popularity of DVD coupled with the versatility that VHS offers, we're anticipating that the DVR-5000 will be one of most successful products we've introduced to date.''

Versatile DVD Player Sports Dolby Digital Decoder, MP3 File Playback From CD-ROM

This revolutionary home theater solution contains a Dolby Digital® 5.1 channel surround sound decoder providing a robust surround sound experience, and also has dts digital output for dts-enhanced DVDs. Users can playback MP3 files on CD-ROM, and the unit is also compatible with CD-R. The DVD also features a 10-bit video digital to analog converter and 27MHz advanced digital filter for a superior picture, and component, S and composite video outputs for high connectivity and optimum performance.

Four Head Hi-Fi VCR Features VCR Plus+ C3(TM)

In keeping with Sensory Science's long history of producing high-quality, advanced VCRs, the DVR-5000 Hi-Fi VCR seamlessly integrates with the DVD and contains four heads for superior slow motion and stop action, and VCR Plus+ C3 for easy programming of the VCR, cable box, and satellite in one easy step. The VCR plays back S-VHS tapes at better than standard resolution and has a 16-event/one-year timer recording feature.
