Simultaneous Recording from a single source to VCR and DVD decks |
If you ever come across a
need to make recordings of a single source on both DVD disc and S-VHS tape
simultaneously, the SR-MV55 has a solution. The Simultaneous Recording
function can record programs on both DVD and VCR decks from the same input
source. Additionally, it allows recordings from two different programs on
two separate media. (The SR-MV55 has no built-in tuner.)

Auto full repeat discs can be made
The Auto Repeat function is very convenient when constant or repeated video
playback is required such as when DVD discs are used for company receptions
or storefront demos.
Live Memory and
Live Check functions
Ideal for school track and field events, Live Memory function lets you
playback scenes to check any performance. With the DVD-RAM's rewriting
capability, video can be recorded from a camcorder to the DVD-RAM, enabling
simultaneous recording and playback. Viewing missed scenes will not
interrupt the recording. The Live Check function displays real-time images
in a sub-window.

Super MPEG
Processors

Progressive scan compatibility
To allow viewing of flicker-free, high-resolution pictures on a compatible
TV, DVD video signals can be output as progressive signals via component
connection. Conversely, S-VHS video signals can also be output as
progressive signals via the DVD recording circuit during dubbing mode.
S-VHS digital
technologies
The S-VHS deck on the SR-MV55 features several advanced digital technology
features.
• Time Base Corrector (TBC) removes jitter to produce a more stable picture
even when old tapes are used.
• Luminance (Y) and chroma (C) signals are separated precisely by 3D Digital
Y/C Separation to suppress cross-color noise and dot-interference.
• 3D YNR/CNR improves the S/N ratio of luminance and chroma signals.
• 2MB frame memory for high-quality still pictures and slow motion.
Digital and
analog audio
Dolby Digital 2ch and Linear PCM (XP mode) digital recording are enabled on
the DVD-recorder, while the S-VHS deck can record in VHS Hi-Fi audio format.
Crystal-clear playback
Playback quality can be improved on multi-generation tapes or tapes created
on different VCRs by using the Tape Level Up and Intelligent Picture
functions. w Crystal-clear playback
