Pass on treasured memories to the next generation of viewers and preserve your favorite old VHS movies with the help of the JVC DR-MV150B DVD recorder. Designed to operate with a component home video system, this unit is a simple way for you to transition from VHS to DVD format through its VHS-to-DVD conversion functionality. However, once those video conversions are done, its job continues, since it also functions as a DTV-ready DVD recorder. Use this unit to record your favorite digital cable programs for convenient playback with an easy-to-use, one-touch record function. Then, enjoy an enhanced viewing experience by connecting the device through its HDMI output port, which allows you to play recordings at an up-converted rate of 1080p for a clearer, more modern picture.
