The CDTV (Commodore Dynamic Total Vision) is a very unique item. It looks like a CD or DVD player and would fit right into your audio rack beside your television. In fact, that was exactly what Commodore was thinking. Similar in concept to Philip's CD-I (interactive), the CDTV actually contains an Amiga computer inside (based around the Amiga 500). The main interface requires simply inserting a CD-ROM (unfortunately, in a caddy) and the system goes to work. Several reference encyclopedias were available as well as a number of Amiga titles. You could even connect an Amiga floppy drive to the unit and there is a keyboard and mouse available as well. The infared controller lets you navigate your way around the system and can be used to play games. The system even plays CD+G discs (Karaoke) and has a beautifully designed visual interface designed by Jim Sachs. Eventually, the CDTV was replaced by the more game specific CD32 which is based on the more powerful Amiga 1200.
