Progessive Scan
JVC has included some impressive technology to get the most out of your VHS viewing and dubbing. Progressive Scan mode creates a smoother video with HD-compatible TVs. With this technology, the DRMX1S delivers VHS playback at 480P resolution. When viewing your VHS tapes you won't notice the inter-line motion blur that is common with interlace scanning, and Digital Wide TBC (Time Base Correction) removes other sources of jitter. Progressive scanning samples the entire picture and uses line memory to interpolate picture information. Basically, this means that the DRMX1S delivers a VHS picture with less flicker, higher density and improved edge detail. That's also great news when you're burning tapes to DVD. It's the progressive way to view your VHS tapes.
Sharing Memories
So you've just returned from vacation, a wedding or your kid's soccer game, where you've captured all the excitement on your digital camcorder. Imagine being able to plug your camcorder into your DVD player and make DVD copies for everyone you know. That's exactly the kind of convenience the DR-MV1 gives you. An i.LINK (DV Input) connection makes it easy to plug in your digital camcorder and burn DVDs or VHS tapes of your latest adventure.
Playback
You'll also have a great time recording with the DRMX1S, but part of its charm lies in its playback capabilities. So what kind of disc do you have to play? The DRMX1S accepts DVD-Video, DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW, VCD, SVCD, CD, CD-R/RW, and MP3 and JPEG CD-R/RWs. So it'll play just about anything you throw into it. And, of course, it also plays all of your VHS tapes. Instant replay, quick skip and live check help make sure you don't miss anything you want to see, and help you skip over the stuff you'd rather miss. Motion Adaptive Progressive Scan (for video sources) and DVD Digital Direct Progressive Scan (for film sources) work hard to present you with the absolute best picture.
