Quick: what's the ugliest piece of furniture in anybody's house? That's right: the entertainment center (or media cabinet or whatever)! These ungainly, invariably crappy pieces of Frankenfurniture arose to keep up with the kudzuesque proliferation of new entertainment components since the 1980s - not a bad idea, except they rarely keep their sweet promises of total entertainment order, and they always look terrible (even the IKEA ones).

 

Now you can drag that particle-board nightmare out to the dumpster where it belongs. The Motorola DCP501 home theater brings a DVD/CD/MP3 player, 100 watts x 5-channel amplifier, and an AM/FM stereo receiver into a single slate-grey casing. If your digital cable provider is halfway cool, they'll let you use this as a digital cable receiver, too - maybe you can offer your now-obsolete entertainment center as a bribe.

Disclaimer: Woot staff doesn't know much about Digital Cable, but we know enough to not guarantee that this will work in your area, with whatever cable you have (even if that cable makes use of other motorola equipment.) It may be a lot simpler than that in some cases, but we'd recommend seeing enough value in the key dvd+receiver features that you'll be happy if the digital cable proves inoperable in your area.

Nice looking system... but, Motorola?! Since when did they enter the HT scene?

This is an old model - I think it first came out it 2001 and sold for like $800. Amazon has it for $270 but there are a few negative reviews. The digital cable tuner doesn't work with most cable systems from what I read.

 

The price isn't bad, but you could probably do a lot better if you were willing to spend $175-200 instead.

Hmmm... I didn't even know that. Thanks for the FYI. :)

Corrected - it was announced at CES in January 2002:
