deck with DVD-RAM and DVD-R/RW recording. With the DVD-RAM or hard disc functions, live recording can be paused. There also are various simultaneous record and playback options, such as recording onto the hard disc while playing back from the hard disc, a DVD or a videotape, or, recording onto DVD or VHS while playing back from the hard disc. Additionally, 2 built-in tuners allow 2 TV programs to be recorded simultaneously. The 160 GB hard drive allows high speed dubbing up to 32 times normal speed between the hard drive and DVD recorder. The quality of digital-to-digital dubs from the hard drive to DVD is enhanced by JVC’s Bit Rate Optimizer, which, compared with conventional recording, recognizes that fast-motion scenes need to be recorded differently than others and makes those bit-rate adjustments on the fly. The VHS section of the DR-MX1S provides VHS Hi-Fi recording and playback, and includes VHS Progressive -- a JVC exclusive that presents VHS material at the higher 480p resolution. VHS Progressive also allows VHS signals to pass from the deck to the TV through the same component video outputs used by the DVD and hard disk. As a result, only a single cable is needed for connection to a TV. For dubbing from digital camcorders, the deck has an IEEE-1394 input, JVC said.
