Amazon.com Product Description
Featuring 5.1-channel surround sound combined with progressive scan DVD technology, the Audiovox DV1201 home theater system integrates elite-level sound and video to successfully emulate (and even surpass) the movie theater experience. The progressive scan feature generates a picture with twice the scan lines of conventional DVD images, improving your resolution and sharpening the objects onscreen while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The DV1201 also features a built-in Dolby Digital and Pro Logic II decoder, letting you complement your favorite DVD movies with full, rich sound. In addition, the system offers other sound adjustments--including movie, music, and matrix modes--that actively replicate the aural attributes of a theater, stadium, concert hall, or intimate club. Whether you're watching movies, rooting for your favorite team, or listening to music, the DV1201 generates exciting sound that livens up your home.

The system comes with four magnetically shielded satellite speakers, a center channel speaker, and a powered subwoofer. The 200-watt unit also offers such DVD functions as multi-angle playback, zoom, slow motion forward and reverse, secondary audio (when available), programmable memory, and repeat playback. Viewers can switch between 4:3 pan scan, 4:3 letterbox, and 16:9 widescreen modes to increase their video options. The receiver is also equipped with an integrated AM/FM tuner with 20 presets, and to further enrich your audio options, the DVD player is compatible with DVD Video, audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, and JPEG picture disc formats.

The DV1201 invites users to add additional components using its host of video and audio connections, including a digital audio output, a component video output (ideal for connecting to a high-definition TV), one composite input and one output, and an S-video output. The system comes with a remote control and carries a 90-day warranty against defects.

1 out of 5 stars Worse than awful   December 31, 2007
Somehow, I remembered Audiovox as a decent brand. So much for memory. This is the worst piece of CR*P ever to darken my entertainment cabinet.
Fortunately, the retailer took it back.
Details: cabinet fan sounds like a jet plane rolling for takeoff. AM/FM reception, what reception. Open your front door and listen to your neighbors system, it'll be better and clearer.
Did I mention this is a piece of CR*P.
P.S. I tried to rate this NO stars, but I was forced to make it one star.

I guess you get what you pay for. I didn't pay anything for this system, so it was really no lose.

Within a month after setting this thing up, the fan in the box begin to really get loud. Within a month after this, the fan quit working all together. Within a month of that, the whole unit quit.

I now know why Audiovox only has a 90 day warranty on this system. It'll last about 100 days.



1 out of 5 stars Problems right out of the box   November 25, 2005

The fun began right after I took the time to set it up. As soon as I turned it on, viola, noise hum. I disconnected the rca cable first hoping that it was something simple and could easily be replaced. Speakers were next and still there was the hum. You don't need a genius to figure out that with only the electrical cord plugged in, the problem was the player itself. Good bye Audiovox DV1201 200-Watt Progressive Scan DVD Home Theater System.


2 out of 5 stars Audiovox 200 watt system   February 16, 2005

I'M 14 AND YOU SHOULD READ THIS BEFORE THINKING ABOUT BUYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This looks pretty cool but like most items it gets old really fast! There are many things you can do with it and I thought it was really hard to put together because there are so many wires. This system has good sound and it goes fairly loud. If you wanted a a nice system I would not pick this Audiovox. Only get this item if you want a small surrond sytem for your room. It is good for parties and for watching some movies if thats what your looking for.


2 out of 5 stars cool if you watch PAL imports   August 20, 2004
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

was cool for a kids surround system. worked for about 6 months before the DVD function stoped working. the radio is EXTREMELY sensitive, i could get stations that were unavailable in any other system i have owned(including CAR!!!) the speakers are weak and the sub is overpowering. After about another month of non-dvd, i was upset and about to buy another system, like a sonybox. I removed the shell and found the broken chip that had burned out. I simply used a eyeglass screwdriver and poked at it untill the dvd would work(took about an hour, but dvd only works untilll unit gets hot, bout 4 hours) in the directions it says not to put anything on top of it(even ps2 or xbox), dont! should work fine then. Anyway, found a cool feature the company installed that allows them to sell the unit in asia too, in the case there is a switch labled NTSC/PAL, you can switch it to pal and play bootlegs,imports, and non-region code dvds! the menu text switched to chinese or japanese or something too....The MP3 menu is confuseing but managable. If you have an older stereo with bigger speakers, i reccomend changing them, the ones supplied are low quaity.
