Computerworld - Sharp Corp. today announced five new models of its Aquos HD recorders, including a model with a 1,000GB (1TB) hard drive. Three of the new models come with a built-in high-speed infrared system that allows the fast transfer of photographs from mobile phones and digital cameras to be displayed on large-screen Aquos LCD TVs.

The high-definition recorders also allow users to simultaneously record two programs in full-spec HD from an Aquos LCD TV. All models also have a quick activation function that allows users to activate a recorder from the standby mode in only .08 seconds, which Sharp claims is an industry first.

The new models are being introduced first into the Japanese market this month.

The players range in digital storage capacity from 250GB to 1TB on the DV-ACW60 model -- the most memory to date on any HD recorder. The Aquos HD model DV-ACW60, along with the ACW55 and ACW52 models, are equipped with a high-speed photo-transfer system that allows digital photographs to be saved as an album.

The DV-ACW60 will retail for $1,650. The 500GB DV-ACW55 retails for $1,155 with a dual tuner and with a single tuner for $908. The dual tuner 250GB DV-ACW52 retails for $908 and the DV-AC52 with a single tuner retails for $743.
