TVonics gets full Dolby certification – we gave away some Dolby products to celebrate!

As you know, we at TVonics HQ are committed to bringing the best of breed technology to you, our customers, so we’re thrilled at having recently received full certification from Dolby for their surround sound facility. Our high-definition range of DTRs have been able to deliver Dolby surround sound via a software upgrade for some time but to mark this new chapter, we gave away a Samsung Surround Sound System to ten lucky winners who registered their DTR-Z500HD or DTR-HD500 on our website. Here’s a selection of what they had to say:

“I am truly delighted with the quality and functionality of the DTR-HD500. It delivers on every level and I'm really looking forward to using the Freeview+ Box, with my new Samsung Surround System.”


“I am delighted to have won a TVonics HD recorder and Samsung surround system to enhance the watching pleasure of my recorded programmes. Thank you TVonics and Samsung!”


“The box itself looks very slick and had good reviews. We have certainly made good use of it already and have found it easy to use. All the menus are well organised and straightforward. Hopefully, we will find time to watch films with the surround sound system after the baby is born. If not, there’s always virtual CBeebies!”


“I wanted a Freeview+ HD PVR that exhibited the following characteristics: 1. Great Style - design that stands out from the crowd 2. Large hard disc drive capacity. 3. Additional HDMI input sockets. 4. Great Dolby Surround Sound capabilities. 5. Ability to be able to update the software that did not rely on having a Windows computer - as I only use Apple Macintosh computers. The TVonics DTR-HD500 unit has all of these brilliant characteristics in spades. Furthermore it is British designed and manufactured in Wales. It's great to be able to support a UK company that makes great products.”


“The TVonics DTR-HD500 is a very competent - and stylish – Freeview+ HD PVR. The enhanced quality of the HD services is made very obvious on the HDMI output, and recording is made very straightforward. What I like particularly about the box is the ability to select a Dolby Digital output, either on HDMI or on an optical connection. That enables enjoyment of full surround sound, which of course is the audio equivalent of High Definition.”


“I am very pleased with the TVonics box. The picture quality is excellent, recording is simple and its unique style is very appealing.”


“I have to say that I am very impressed with the TVonics DTR-HD500 HD+ Freeview box. The picture quality is superb on HD programmes but even non HD programmes are upgraded to near HD quality. The box is stylish and the operation is easy and intuitive.”


“I am delighted with my TVonics DTR-HD500 recorder, because it automatically records entire TV series and selected programs. I can choose to watch, store or delete programmes as necessary.”


We hope all the winners go on to enjoy viewing Freeview+HD with premium-quality Dolby surround sound!
