Mini DV/S-VHS VCR Combo
The HR-DVS3 is the ultimate solution for easy
editing and viewing of high quality digital
and analog video. A double deck, HR-DVS3
incorporates a Mini DV VCR and an S-VHS
VCR, allowing direct playback of S-VHS or
DV tapes, direct dubbing from S-VHS to DV
and vice versa, or connect directly to your DV
camcorder for DV-to-DV edits—no cable
connections necessary. To watch and dub DV footage, the deck offers one-touch viewing and dubbing of DV recordings.
Integration also enables a variety of advanced features like automatic DV-to-S-VHS Random Assemble Editing.
DV VCR
◆ Play back and watch DV footage without
any cables to connect. Perform DV-to-S-VHS
editing, DV-to-DV dubbing via its DV input
terminal, or analog-to-DV recording from an
external source
◆ Records digital audio with a choice of two
modes: two-channel 16-bit, 48kHz for
maximum quality or four-channel 12-bit
32kHz, allowing another stereo channel to
be added (background music or narration
for example)
S-VHS VCR
◆ Incorporating JVCs exclusive DigiPure
technology, the S-VHS VCR section delivers
over 400 lines of horizontal resolution for
quality that approaches digital.
◆ DigiPure technology uses a digital wide TBC
and 3-dimensional circuitry for clearer color
separation, improved S/N ratio, enhanced
detail, and elimination of dot crawl.
◆ Hi-Fi stereo audio with MTS decoder delivers
wide dynamic range for maximum impact,
while the built-in MTS decoder lets you
record stereo and SAP TV broadcasts.
S-VHS ET
◆ S-VHS ET recording allows S-VHS signals to
be recorded on regular VHS High Grade
cassette. This allows you to enjoy high
resolution images with more affordable,
more widely available VHS tapes.
Editing Features
◆ One-touch dubbing from DV to S-VHS or
S-VHS to DV
◆ Insert editing and audio dubbing (32kHz for
MiniDV) on both DV and S-VHS
◆ Equipped with DV (IEEE1394) input/output,
so you can connect directly from your DV
camcorder to make DV-to-DV lossless-
quality dubs, or to download to a
DV-equipped PC for non-linear editing.
◆ Random Assemble (RA) editing lets you
choose up to 8 segments at a time (in any
order) from your DV tape, and at the touch
of a button the HR-DVS3 will automatically
put them in the order you want.
Conveniences
◆ Active Video Calibration optimizes recording
and playback by monitoring S-VHS/VHS
head and tape performance.
◆ During real-time recording, you can take
advantage of the double-deck design by
watching DV playback while recording on
S-VHS/VHS. This is the kind of viewing versa-
tility not possible with ordinary video decks.
◆ Repeat playback (up to 50X), 60-minute
power back-up, and tape position indicator
(S-VHS)
◆ Multiple speed search (two speeds in DV,
five speeds in S-VHS)
◆ Includes Multi-Brand TV/Cable/DSS compati-
ble remote control with large jog/shuttle dial
Programming
◆ Simply hook up the antenna and plug in the
VCR and the HR-DVS3 automatically takes
care of clock and tuner setting (even
daylight savings time). And since the clock
time is kept accurate by time data found in
PBS broadcast signals, set-up is literally a
one-time operation.
◆ Features VCR+ with “Cable Eye” Cable Box
Controller. Just punch in the PlusCode
number to program the timer automatically
There is no lengthy set-up process either,
because VCR+ guide channels are set “on-
the-fly”. And with the supplied “Cable Eye”
cable box controller, you can also count on
correct timer-recordings of cable TV.
◆ 1-year/12 event timer (6 events each for DV
and S-VHS)
◆ Hate missed endings? Auto SP/EP Timer
recording automatically switches from SP
to EP mode, if necessary, to fit the entire
program on the tape
◆ Express Programming for easy manual timer
setting just by following a single row of
buttons on the remote control.
◆ Multi-lingual on-screen programming
(English, Spanish and French)
Inputs/Outputs
◆ S-Video input on front and back panel
◆ Two S-Video outputs on back panel
◆ Two A/V outputs
