NOTES:

●The Controller may not work with all types of cable box.

●If your cable box does not respond to any code between 1 and 25, you cannot use the Controller to change cable box channels. In this case, make sure to leave the cable box turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the scheduled start time of timer recording.

Contact your cable company about the possibility of exchanging your current cable box with the one compatible with your VCR.

●The VCR can only change the cable box channel through the Controller during timer recording.

●If your cable box cannot be operated with a remote control (because it has no remote sensor), you cannot use the Controller to change its channels. Make sure to leave the cable box turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the scheduled start time of timer recording.

●If the VCR’s memory backup expires because of a power failure, set the cable box output channel and brand again.

●For customers in U.S.A.: If you are unable to set the Controller, contact JVC toll free at 1-800-537-5722.

HR-5910U, HR-S5900U specifications

The JVC HR-S5900U and HR-S5910U are part of JVC's renowned line of Super VHS (S-VHS) VCRs, known for their advanced recording capabilities and high-quality video output. These VCRs, popular in the late '90s, reflect JVC's commitment to preserving video fidelity during the transition from analog to digital formats.

One of the standout features of the HR-S5900U and HR-S5910U is their Super VHS technology, which delivers superior image resolution compared to standard VHS. The S-VHS format can record at a maximum resolution of 400 lines, allowing for clearer and more detailed video playback. This enhancement is essential for those who value high-quality home video recordings, especially for capturing special moments in family videos or archiving important events.

Both models come equipped with JVC's Dynamic Drum System, which improves tracking and reduces dropout, ensuring a more stable playback experience. This technology enhances the VCR's ability to deliver consistent picture quality, even in challenging conditions, such as when using older or worn tapes. Furthermore, the HR-S5910U model features a built-in time base corrector, which minimizes jitter and enhances overall picture stability.

In terms of compatibility, these VCRs can play both S-VHS and regular VHS tapes, providing versatility for users with diverse video collections. The HR-S5910U goes a step further by offering three playback modes, allowing users to adjust playback quality to suit their preferences or the quality of the original tape.

Another notable feature is the on-screen programming capability, simplifying the process of scheduling recordings. Users can easily set timers and select specific channels, making it a user-friendly experience for even those less familiar with high-tech devices. The inclusion of a variety of audio outputs, including stereo sound, ensures that users can enjoy enhanced audio quality to complement the superior video performance.

JVC's HR-S5900U and HR-S5910U also support various recording speeds, including SP and EP modes, allowing users to extend recording time without sacrificing much quality. Furthermore, both models exhibit robust build quality, a hallmark of JVC's design philosophy, ensuring they can withstand regular use while delivering reliable performance.

In summary, the JVC HR-S5900U and HR-S5910U are key players in the world of home video, combining advanced technology with practical features for superior playback and recording quality. Their blend of high-resolution video capabilities, user-friendly programming, and versatile compatibility make them an excellent choice for any video enthusiast looking to preserve their memories in the best possible format.
