Wayne, NJ - JVC Consumer Video's new line of multi-format DVD recorders, including units that combine DVD recording with hard disk drive (HDD), VHS and Mini DV, will begin appearing on the market next month, the company announced.
The DR-M100S DVD recorder shows up first, with up to 16 hours recording (when using a dual sided disc) and the ability to play the DVD-RAM, DVD-RW/-R formats, as well as CD, CD-R/RW, VCD, SVCD, JPEG and MP3 files.
Other features include 10 bit/54MHz video digital-to-analog (DAC) converter, 192kHz/24 bit audio DAC, iLink; front DV input; front and rear S-Video and composite inputs; component, S-Video and composite outputs; front audio input; and optical, digital coaxial and analog audio outputs. The DR-M100S will be available in March at $349.95.
Then, the DR-MH300S, combining the DR-M100 DVD recorder with a 160GB hard disk drive into a single deck that provides several simultaneous recording and playback options – recording on the hard disk while playing back from the hard disk or DVD, or recording on DVD while playing back from the hard disk – will be available in July for $699.95.
JVC will also offer a new three-way combination unit, the DR-DX7S DVD/HDD/MiniDV model, combining a Mini DV deck with DVD and hard disk drive recording.
The DR-DX7S, which combines 250GB hard disk drive and DVD recorder with a Mini DV deck – a versatile deck for editing videos on the hard disk drive and then dubbing onto DVD. Mini DV is recorded onto the hard disk drive in the original Mini DV format, so footage can be dubbed, edited on the hard disk drive and then transferred back to Mini DV without a loss in quality, the manufacturer reports.
The DR-DX7S be available in July at a nationally advertised value of $1,799.95.
JVC will still offer the DR-MX1S DVD/hard drive/VHS combo unit that offers three different recording and playback options, and the ability to dub between any two. The hard drive has an 80GB capacity. The JVC DR-MX1 is currently available at a nationally advertised value of $999.95.
