The RCA component TV system was called Dimensia. Unlike the Zenith and Sony systems, RCA did not separate the TV tuner/switcher from the display, if I remember right. RCA's system would have included a VHS VCR and likely a CED video disc player in the full setup.

That $6000 price was probably like most "game show prices", that is, highly inflated from actual or maybe even list prices. Wheel Of Fortune routinely had a "$385" phone answering machine among its offerings in the early 1980s, well after such machines were seldom over $100-125 in the stores.
