Motorola DCP501 5.1 channel 500 Watt Receiver

The DCP-501 is the only device that combines all the desired home entertainment capabilities with digital cable decoder. The sound and features are tremendous and its easy to use. No more having a DVD, Stereo, home theater sound system and cable converter box cluttering up the living room, this one system does it all. The only drawback is that the unit is a little larger than most equipment and you will need deep shelf in your entertainment center.

The great benefit is that it has a DCT-2000 cable converter built into the system that your cable company can activate on your account and you can save the monthly rental fees for the cable converter box. This device is the only consumer market device with a cable converter. Since all other converter devices are only sold to cable companies, this is the only device that cable companies will normally allow to be added to your cable service as customer owned equipment.

While some newer equipment will allow the use of a smart card to access digital cable signals, they don't work with the on-demand type of services. The DCP-501 works seamlessly with cable systems that use the Motorola DCT-2000 decoding standards.

Given that the current market prices for the DCP-501 are typically $179 or less, this is a great deal and will enhance any entertainment and video system. Since the unit does weigh abit, shipping prices are often $30 or more adding to the overall cost.

Quit paying the cable company monthly rent to use their equipment, buy the DCP-501.
