JVC DR-MV150B DVD/VCR Combo Recorder

Comments about JVC DR-MV150B DVD/VCR Combo Recorder:

Easy to set up. Does a good recording job. Love the built-in tuner.
Not real happy with the on-screen display as it is not very adjustable (can't just get the tape length) plus the display will only stay on for a certain ammount of time.

Serves my from broadcast purposes as advertised.
Although recording scedules remain, the clock must be reset manually after a power loss instead of updating from broadcast clock signals as was acccustomed to.
There is also a function in a TV section on the remote that has absolutely no info of how to use.

I like this product because it has a tuner and they are not found in any stores. It's easy to use and program.

I mostly use it to Record my favorite shows on the vhs side. I would probably use the dvd to record shows that I want to keep. I mostly use the dvd side to watch movies. what is great about it is the brand (jvc) I have always liked the brand. I have purchased many vcrs in the past by Jvc. The only thing that I wished it did was it having a universal remote to control my TV.

I have old vhs tapes that are getting old and I don't want to lose the contents. I've used a Panasonic before but that was not as good as this recorder. What I really appreciate is the super simple instructions that come with the JVC. It really is very very simple to use. One little quibble is the instructions for creating a label. The instructions should have appeared before the instructions for finalizing the disc. Like I said really small and now that I know what to do there is no problem. I can also record from the tv using either the vhs or the dvd. Some machines don't let you record using the vhs any more. I'm not a heavy use video person, so I can't honestly review the other features but for saving old vhs tapes I highly recommend this product.

This is our second JVC combo. We tried several other brands and returned them. The JVC is simple to operate and setup is a breeze. It has very good recording abilities. thanks for a great product. I will probably buy another one just like it.

The DVD/VCR has a long list of stations that are listed in a weird way. To find Channel 7, for instance, you have to go through a long list of channels to find it. Then they're listed as 7-1 or 7-102 for instance. It's very time consuming to find the right channel listed for your area.

this is a great piece of equipment.. does the job and a good one at that! very reasonably priced and I would definitely recommend it!

Comments about JVC DR-MV150B DVD/VCR Combo Recorder:

It does what it's supposed to do--"dubs" from VHS tapes to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, no muss, no fuss. Costs more than one might think is necessary, but there really aren't that many competitors out there, so this is what it costs to save those old tapes. The indexing/labelling functions aren't as simple as I'd like, but generally, I'm just copying a whole program from a tape to a disc, and breaking it into peices isn't critical.

I am very, very pleased so far with this recorder. The directions are much easier to follow than another recorder I have used. I had no difficulty gettiing it connected (and I'm not usually good at such things). Haven't yet transferred from VCR to DVD, but if how I have used it so far is any indication, that should also not be difficult to do.

I bought the JVC DVD/VCR combo to replace another JVC VCR which was used mainly to record TV programs by my wife. I chose JVC because I've had good experience with other JVC products & the combo unit has performed well as expected. Set-up is relatively easy by following the quick set-up guide. However, I do find some of the function buttons on the remote difficult to read.

Transferring Beta and VHS cassette tapes. Can watch and record now, after buying modulator.

I use the DVR to record mostly sports, but occasionally I will record a movie. Unfortunately the "record once" feature is a pain in the neck, where without a certain DVD disc and setting it to the "VR: mode, it won't record some HBO movies for later viewing.

IT IS A GREAT MACHINE, EVERTHING WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD WE USE THE COMBO TO RECORD IN BOTH FORMATS IT HAS A CRISP PICTURE AND THE REMOTE IS EASY TO READ.

Comments about JVC DR-MV150B DVD/VCR Combo Recorder:

I don't like the idea of paying a cable company for a DVR. I like the DVD-RAM capability of this machine. I was a little surprised that I had to use an HDMI cable or RCA plug cables to get the video to the TV - no RF converter to put the signal on Channel 3 or 4. Put getting around it is not an issue.

Comments about JVC DR-MV150B DVD/VCR Combo Recorder:

I have years worth of VHF tapes that I been wanting to convert. I finally bought this unit and it works great. I also want to transfer old 8M and 8MM digital tapes using the DV IN and RCA inputs on the front of the unit. I haven't tried that yet, but it looks like a nice feature. I would definitely recommend this unit.

Manual leaves a lot to be desired or else I would have rated this a 5 star. Setup was a little tricky, but once done, machine performed excellently. Use manual setup instead of quick startup.
