JVC (Refurbished) HR-S5902 S-VHS VCR

Allows the broader bandwidth Super VHS (S-VHS) quality signal to be recorded on standard VHS (video home system) tapes (high grade tapes recommended), while the playback of these recorded tapes is possible only in a Super VHS (S-VHS) VCR.

The intelligent IC automatically calibrates tape quality and the video head condition to optimize and maintain recording and playback performance.

This feature allows you to choose from the following four different settings to match the picture you are viewing.
AUTO: Provides optimized picture benefits of Active Video Calibration
EDIT: Minimizes picture degradation during editing
SOFT: Reduces image coarseness when viewing video tapes containing a lot of noise
SHARP: Clearer, sharper edged picture when viewing images with lots of flat, same colored surfaces

Features Insert Editing, which lets you replace the original picture without affecting the sound (linear audio track).

Makes sure that the transition points between recordings are distortion free.

Enables you to dub a soundtrack over the original sound (monaural linear track), while leaving the picture as it is.

Instant timer programming just by the input of a Plus Code number. You won't have to go through a lengthy setup process, since the VCR Plus+ guide channels are set.

Recording is done in SP (Standard Play) for as long as possible. With extension of the program, the EP (Extended Play) mode is automatically engaged, fitting the program in its entirety on the same tape.

The Hi-Fi broad dynamic range delivers sound quality rivaling CDs for a maximum-impact home theater experience, while the built-in MTS Decoder lets you record stereo and SAP TV broadcasts.

Everything from frame-by-frame playback to variable-speed slow motion, search and pause, are precisely controllable by push-and-turning operation of the Jog Dial right on the front of the VCR.
