The Integrated Movie Server for Your Home

The Kaleidescape Mini System is designed for your living room. It's an elegant addition to your home, and its quiet operation won't distract you from your movies and music. Compact and affordable, it's also the first to include a remote control, so it's ready to entertain right out-of-the-box.

The base Mini System holds up to 75 DVDs or 825 CDs - the perfect "starter" system. As your needs grow, so does your Kaleidescape System. Expand to more rooms in your home by adding players. Add more storage by adding Disk Cartridges or servers. Or, add a Mini System to increase both!
