JVC • HR-S3901 Super VHS HiFi VCR with VCR Plus+
Super VHS quality plus
convenient timer recording!
The HR-S3901 will impress
you with Super VHS’s
exceptional 400-line
resolution — it’s 60%
sharper than standard VHS.
JVC’s Super VHS ET technology
even lets you make S-VHS recordings on high-quality standard VHS tapes!
And of course, this VCR plays regular VHS videos.
The ’S3901 also makes timer recording hassle-free. With VCR Plus+ and
a Cable Eye cable box/satellite controller (available free from JVC via the
included certificate), you can automatically record a program by entering its
PlusCode (found in TV Guide and many newspaper listings). The advanced jog/shuttle
control on the unit lets you quickly program timer recordings for the next 24 hours.
You also get AV CompuLink for easy system control with compatible JVC components
(see page 108 for more information), and a remote that controls most brands of TVs,
cable boxes, and satellite tuners.
