Amazon.com Product Description
Bring full movie theater sound to your living room with the affordable, complete RCA RTD258 home theater in a box (HTIB) system, which includes a 5-disc DVD/CD changer and integrated digital AM/FM tuner with 1000 watts of total power and a full set of 5.1-channel surround sound speakers (one center channel, two front left/right, two back left/right, and one subwoofer). The DVD player offers an HDMI connection for uncompressed digital audio and video output and an upconversion feature that produces high-resolution DVD images on compatible HDTVs. It's also Sirius satellite radio ready--just plug in your optional player and enjoy the full spectrum of digital satellite radio.

The DVD player is compatible with standard DVD movie and CD audio discs as well as DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, and (S)VCD disc formats and MP3, WMA, and JPEG digital formats. The five-disc changer allows for simultaneous play and load functionality. Connect most MP3 players, thumbdrives and digital cameras through the front USB jack and enjoy your music or photos from the home theatre system. The component video output provides optimal video quality for viewing DVDs on compatible HDTVs.

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 Dolby ProLogic II surround sound decoder can process two-channel compatible sources (such as standard audio CDs) into full 5.1-channel surround sound. The five main discrete channels have a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. The 1000-watt total power system breaks down to 167 watts per four surround channels, 167 watts for the center channel, and 167 watts for the subwoofer.

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

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

1 out of 5 stars Lasted only 2 weeks   January 15, 2008

I bought a "refurbished" unit for my mother-in-law. All she wanted was the CD music and Sirius radio - no DVD or anything else. Felt for this "basic functionality" I was OK with a used unit. Well guess again! Unit totally quit working after only 2 weeks. Does power on then just sits there with a blank screen. You cannot even power it off. Only way to power off is to unplug it. Wow! I am just starting to work though the Customer Service nightmare. Oh, and by the way, "Sirius Ready" means you have to buy an additional $50 receiver for it to work with Sirius.

The price looks good but after you need to send it back several times it becomes expensive. I had three units and they all had the same problem. CD's skipped between every song and DVD's either wouldn't play or would have a split screen. The customer service is a complete nightmare. The people there specialize in giving you the run-around. I finally got my money back after 7 months of fighting and $95 in shipping that I will not get back. Also, the customer service phone number in the instruction manual and on the RCA website is incorrect. DO NOT BUY THIS STEREO! Do yourself a favor and spend a little more for a better unit.

I have had this system for 4 months and I have replaced it three times. The first one had an internal cooling fan so loud that it drowned out the sound of the movies. RCA says "defective." The second one wouldn't play 3/4 of my DVDs--ones that had scratches and ones that were fresh out of the case. Again, "defective unit." The third one has trouble accessing special features and sub-menus. It will freeze in the middle of a film. Sometimes it won't turn off! I have to unplug it. So...when the fourth one gets here, it's off the Craigslist--RCA WILL NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY for a consistently defective product. I couldn't be less happy with this product. What good is surround sound if the player won't play the media? I end up playing movies on my Playstation 2--which NEVER has problems playing DVDs. Too bad the RCA receiver has no suitable audio input for the PS2. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR GET YOUR HOPES UP WITH THIS EXCREMENTAL PRODUCT.

After reading other reviews I had my reservations to buy the RTD260 system. But, price and the features it offers (every thing including HDMI)with 1000 Watts of power, I would give it a try. I'm not using it with an HDTV yet but will need it in the future if I purchase one. I purchased the unit through Amazon. I could track the unit from when my order was processed to when I received it. I purchased this to install it in my RV 5th wheel (36')Camper. The speakers were small enough to be mounted with speaker mounting brackets I purchased from ShopKo.It took about 4 hours to install and run the wires so they would be hidden. When I fired the system up the Radio (AM/FM)worked very well. The sound had the best quality in the Stereo mode. I think this was because the Radio station transmitted in Stereo. Put in the 1st movie and WOW!!! It was just like being at the theater. Sub-Woofer added so much to the movie. Didn't try the USB input or the (2) external audio inputs yet but bottom line I'm very pleased with this unit.

Well, just as a few other reviews I have read, I'm working on sending my second unit back to the service center for an exchange. The first unit started by randomly telling me that my DVD was a "BAD Disc" after about of minute of trying to load. Then it would lock up or freeze while playing a movie and I had to unplug it to reset the thing. Sent that one in and got a new unit that played fine the first few days and then, you guessed it, right back to the same symptoms once again. This time around I was able to get the service rep to send me a prepaid shipping label to send the unit back so I don't have to fork over another $41 shipping fee to send it back. If you're looking for a home theater system you may want to spend the extra money on one that you won't end up watching your movies on between returns and exchanges. This one is not a good choice at all so far.
