DVD 2 is Bang & Olufsen's solution for DVD playback, recording and permanent archiving. It supports a broad range of media formats, and the picture quality is among the best. It supports the TV programme guide Guide Plus+, which makes it possible to programme a recording directly from the information on the TV screen. Recordings are made to the built-in hard disc, and the built-in tuner supports simultaneous recording and playback of the same TV programme.
Designer David Lewis has emphasised its affinity with the modular home cinema solutions from Bang & Olufsen by introducing a design that matches other components in the system. The front, top and sides are made of brushed aluminium which is divided by a groove for status information with the stand-by indicator on the front.
The loading of the DVD is done by pressing lightly on the upper part of the front aluminium bar, which opens outwards and down, revealing the loader that quietly slides out. Behind this bar you find sockets for connection of additional equipment, such as a digital camera or video camera.
- Ease-of-use and long-term storage of your favourite programmes have been guiding principles behind DVD 2, states Product Manager Torben Kyed.
Playback, archiving and browsing the programme guide is all done with the Bang & Olufsen remote control.
But DVD 2 is more than a DVD player. The Guide Plus+ programme guide presents TV programming information for the coming days, and using your Bang & Olufsen remote control you can quickly browse through programme information, as well as set timed recordings without having to enter the channel and time information yourself.
The built-in hard disc recorder takes care of your temporary recordings by recording TV programmes from the built-in tuner, which in turn makes it possible to record one TV programme while watching another. DVD 2 delivers high-end picture quality via its High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) output. When connected to the Bang & Olufsen top TV engine, BeoSystem 3, it gives you outstanding sharpness and true-to-life colour rendition of digital video for your home cinema experiences.-Bang & Olufsen
