CDTV

Obsolete multimedia computer system developed by Commodore. It was designed for the home and is a direct rival to CD-I. It consists of a box about the size of a home video recorder, containing an Amiga 500 computer and a CD-ROM drive. CDTV disks can store a combination of text, pictures, sound, and video. Like CD-I, CDTV plugs into a TV set and stereo system. CDTV cannot play CD-ROM or CD-I disks.
