JVC’s expertise in video technologies has been optimally applied to digital technologies to deliver superior picture quality.
JVC DVD recorders provide astounding quality of recorded and played back pictures, and offer an array of user-friendly
functions. DVD recorder combinations – with either a built-in Hard Disk Drive (HDD), DV or VHS recorder—or all three–
are also available, offering more than triple the benefit of each medium.
JVC recorders give you the options of recording in DVD-RAM, DVD-RW or DVD-R format, letting you choose the most suit-
able option depending on the purpose or content. As for playback, the lineup is compatible with a vast majority of audio
and video disc formats: DVD-Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, VCD/SVCD, CD, and CD-R/RW. You can also enjoy
MP3 music files or JPEG (baseline JPEG format is supported) files burned on a CD-R or CD-RW. The Slide Show function
enhances the fun of viewing JPEG digital still images.
Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor
The Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor ensures superior quality of
images when recording from analog sources, like the tuner or a
connected video source, conducting effective noise reduction before
MPEG-2 encoding. The 3-step process starts with the Time Base
Corrector (TBC) which eliminates jitter contained in analog input
signals. Then, the Frame Synchronizer corrects frame crossover jitter
and processes any deviant frames. These two processes ensure that
the video signals conform to the NTSC standard. Finally, the Motion
Active Noise Reduction system reduces the noise of moving pictures
by precisely detecting the motion and applying the algorithm
between the moving pixels. This selective noise reduction ensures
that encoded images – especially moving subjects that are likely to
draw the viewer’s attention – are free of edge smear and image lag.
Super MPEG Post-Processor
The Block Noise Reduction Circuit reduces annoying ‘block noise’
caused by MPEG-2 compression. The Color DigiPure conducts 3D
noise reduction and enhances the color and details to provide sharp,
yet natural pictures, while the Hadamard Noise Reduction system
eliminates ‘mosquito noise’ from any DVD you play.
JVC’s DVD recorders are able to output NTSC Progressive (480p)
signals from any DVD being played. Motion Active Progressive Scan
output generates a progressive scan signal from interlace sources,
such as TV programs recorded on DVD. Digital Direct Progressive
Scan Output outputs the original progressive data – a movie on
prerecorded DVD, for examples – without converting to interlace
data, so there is no quality loss and the picture remains true to the
original film source.
Advanced Technologies for Recording and Playback of High Quality Pictures
JVC DVD recorders incorporate two very advanced technologies for high resolution and effective noise reduction –
Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor and Super MPEG Post-Processor – which improve the quality of pictures in
recording and playback; respectively.
Longer Recordings with High Resolution Pictures
(DVD-RAM/DVD-RW VR Format)
JVC’s DVD recorders boast superior quality of recorded pictures, particularly
with long recordings, delivering the best quality for each recording mode.
With conventional DVD recorders, the quality can become degraded with
longer recordings, because of the trade-off between reducing noise and
maintaining resolution. Not with JVC recorders. For example, in the 3-hour
recording mode (FR180), they attenuate MPEG noise while maintaining
high horizontal resolution of 400 lines, compared to conventional
technology that can reduce resolution to 250 lines.
Maximum quality is available with the XP mode’s 500 lines of resolution.
To assure recordings that fit precisely on the disc while offering the best
possible quality, you can also manually adjust the sampling rate from
among 63 steps (max. 16-hour recording with dual sided disc in FR480
model), or set the deck to record a program on a blank or partially
recorded disc with automatic sampling rate optimization.
Library Database DVD Navigation
and Animated Thumbnail
(DVD-RAM/DVD-RW VR Format)
JVC DVD recorders can
memorize information
of up to 2,000
programs including
their titles, disc
numbers, dates of
recording and so on,
and when you choose
one, the player tells
you which disc to load.
Once loaded, choosing the right program on the disc is as easy as
clicking on a thumbnail image, it even animates [the movies]
complete with sound for sure selection.
