Description:

Now you can compile seamless highlight tapes from your home-video footage to send to your friends and family--and you can even add a musical soundtrack. JVC's high-resolution S-VHS HR-S5912U is loaded with sophisticated features like insert editing and audio dubbing. It also features conveniences like SVHS ET (Expansion Technology, which lets you record broad-bandwidth Super VHS signals on affordable standard-VHS tapes) and a child lock, which keeps "unauthorized" viewers from watching or taping specific channels and time slots.

The HR-S5912U's hi-fi, four-head design combines great sound, high quality, and great effects, including variable slow motion, frame advance, and variable-speed search. The recorder comes with gold-plated front audio/video jacks enabling easy access for connecting camcorders, video games, or an extra VCR. One-year, eight-event express programming and a full-function remote simplify scheduling and operation.

Perfect for compiling the best segments of your home videos, the deck's insert editing feature uses a flying erase head to ensure seamless edits and smooth, invisible transitions from one scene to the next. You can even perform audio dubbing--adding a soundtrack after you've edited your video together.

Other features include Active Video Calibration (which automatically judges head condition and tape quality to maximize the potential of the tape being used) and VCR Plus+ with cable-box control (which lets you program on the fly by entering the PlusCode numbers found in most TV listings--and the supplied "cable eye" controller will automatically switch channels on your cable box for you).

A JVC Cable Eye controller jack automatically switches channels on your cable box or satellite receiver for ready taping or viewing from the HR-S5912U, but you'll need to request the Cable Eye module from JVC (free of charge) to use this feature.

Picture Control lets you change the VCR's four picture-technology settings: "Auto/Normal" enables the Active Video Calibration System; "Soft" reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes; "Edit" minimizes degradation during editing (recording and playback); and "Sharp" gives you clearer, sharper-edged pictures.

JVC A/V Compu Link components like the HR-S5912U--when used in concert--will "power up" and switch to the correct input anytime you play a DVD, videotape, CD, cassette, or even when you simply want to watch television. When you are done, the whole system can also be powered down with a single touch.
