●The VCR turns on, and rewinds to the index code indicating the beginning of the last timer-recorded program, then begins playback automatically.

●You can access a program of 2 to 9 index codes away from the current position on the tape. If, for example, you have 5 programs recorded and you want to watch the third one, press REVIEW three times.

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.

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.

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.
