- Home Theater Ready JVC's HRXVC14B Tuner-Free DVD/VCR Combination Player is one very versatile and convenient component that integrates easily into any home entertainment system. If you have component video inputs in your system, you can take advantage of the DVD component video output for the best picture quality your system is capable of. If your television or home theater projector is compatible with a progressive scan signal, you can take advantage of the DVD progressive scan output to enjoy images that look as good as they did on the big screen. Being tuner-free, this player depends on other devices' ATSC tuners to pick up the digital signals of the future. Making the best of that assumption, Time-Link Recording utilizes the tuner and the timer on your set-top box to alert it to your recording desires. It then turns itself on to record your show and turns itself back off afterwards to save power. That's one wicked smart bit of cutting-edge technology. This combination player really packs in the performance, combining two full-featured units into one convenient case so you can save room without sacrificing features.
- "Tuner-Free" may mean you aren't paying for something you don't need -- or -- it may mean you're going to be missing a lot of episodes of American Idol. The difference between the two all depends on the capabilities of your other A/V equipment. People are in a bit of a panic these days about the impending switchover from analog to all digital programming in February 2009.
- Stop and think. If your TV or set-top cable box has an ATSC digital tuner and the appropriate outputs, you have everything you need to speed headlong into the future of digital programming. Having a second or third ATSC tuner in your DVD player would be a serious duplication of effort -- akin to carrying a little car in the trunk of your real car or keeping a cooler full of ice in your fridge. Ridiculous, right? Then why do it in the electronics realm
- If, however, your TV is ensconced in a heavy real wood cabinet, has burn-in from the first lunar landing, or bears the brand-name Curtis Mathes, then you might want to consider getting a different DVD/VCR player -- at very least.
- There's even more to this versatile video machine than first meets the eye. In addition to DVD, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, you can also enjoy audio CDs, VCD, and CD-DA/R/RW discs. Even JPEG images (on CD-R) can be enjoyed with this amazing A/V wonder. You can record on the VCR during DVD playback, and even copy your DVD to the VCR (non-copyrighted material only). The shuttle search and variable slow options will help you find your favorite scenes in no time or slow down for a closer look. Check out cool scenes a frame at a time if you like and zoom in on details you may never notice otherwise. It all goes to show, JVC is as serious about entertainment as you are.
- Don't forget, there's another side to the HRXVC14B. Its VCR section also provides outstanding audio thanks to the broad dynamic range of Hi-Fi VHS that delivers high fidelity sound for maximum impact from movie soundtracks and easy, high quality recording of your favorite shows. Quality components add up to quality output, so this VCR uses 4 heads to reduce crosstalk and improve EP playback picture. A/V inputs help keep your add on options open as well as simplifying the hookup of additional components. With Super-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB) this VCR can play back a tape recorded in Super VHS, with regular VHS resolution. Another amazing feat performed by the multi-talented HRXVC14B is its ability to record on the VCR while playing a DVD. When JVC combined the forces of DVD and VHS, they did more than reduce the amount of room required, they added exponentially to the abilities of both.
- To help you re-create the thrill and realism of today's movie soundtracks at home, the HRXVC14B DVD/VCR combination deck provides a coaxial digital audio output for connecting to an external decoder component or an A/V receiver with Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel decoding for exhilarating multichannel digital audio that really brings the action to life. Even without an elaborate home theater system, you can still enjoy the thrilling sounds of any movie.
