The JVC DR-MV79B DVD/VCR Combo Recorder is a quality multi-format DVD/VCR combo recorder that offers great features. This unit has a progressive-scan player capable of upconverting your current DVD library to a 1080p high-definition experience.

Record your favorite home movies onto DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W and DVD-RAM discs with a choice of 4 different recording speeds. Enjoy Dolby Digital/DTS audio decoding, TimerLink recording capability, DivX, DV input, and HDMI output. With multi-format playback capabilities, connectivity to virtually any A/V source, Quasi (S-VHS) playback, coaxial/optical digital-audio outputs, 1-touch (bi-directional) Dubbing, and 12-hour recording capability, your entertainment choices are endless with the JVC DR-MV79B.

Just connect your digital video camera to the unit's DV-input terminal, and you're ready to record images onto a DVD recordable disc. With playback specifications that meet the standards of professionals, this recorder features a component video output for high-resolution low-distortion video playback. Front A/V inputs allow you to plug your accessories directly into the unit without having to pull it out of your entertainment center and messing with the rear inputs.

This is a progressive scan DVD player, capable of scanning an entire video frame at once. Scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. One-touch recording provides a simple and convenient way to make a recording. Simply connect the recorder to your cable or satellite box and then to your TV.

Not worth the money.
