A good friend in the advertising business was puzzled by that choice of name. That's like alzheimer's, yes?...

I wonder how those speakers perform? I imagine they are great. I have mentioned many times that my huge '72 rca hec had awesome sound from speakers that had enclosures inside and i think ceramic magnets? So, i am trying to get the equivelant in a tv record player stereo combo as i lost my precious '72 rca
Many years ago i serviced a bad solder connection in a module on a friend's 26" dimensia just like shown in the link here. I had forgotten about that set. My repair lasted many years until he through the set in garbage.
I bet the stereo, turntables and speakers are hard to find but hope to get a witness statement to how the sound range is compsred to ny beloved '72 rca?

When the RCA brass finally figured this out they dropped the Dimensia name from the product line. I bought RCA's Dimensia TV receiver, their 1st stereo TV, in 1985 along w/the stereo AM/FM receiver and the cassette player. Expensive gear at the time. The TV is long gone but I still have the stereo receiver and the cassette player.

Have to agree w/Andy that short of removing the cover and exposing the interior, I have to go w/Hitachi during this time period. The product was made in Japan.

It seemed the RCA VCR's were first made by Panasonic, then Hitachi and a mix of Panasonic and Samsung. Hitachi made some for GE, as well.
I thought "Dimensia" was a great name for the product line. You had to have a mental problem to pay that much for that equipment.

Can't think of a good electronic example but which is better? A ford xlt lariat or a dodge slt laramie?
So the rca dimensia should have to compete with a zenith alZheimer "electronics that'll take your mind away from it all"
