B.E.S.T. Picture System

The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference ( pg. 47).

Playback

The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate playback.

●The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality based on the quality of the tape in use.

●B.E.S.T. is active during automatic tracking. “bESt” appears blinking on the recorder’s front display panel.

NOTES:

●When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”, it is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as well.

●When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another

video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference ( pg. 47).

●“bESt” only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though it doesn’t appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.

Recording

The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate recording.

DURING B.E.S.T.

B.E.S.T. COMPLETE

●The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of the tape, then begins recording.

NOTES:

●The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP (or EP) modes only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated. It does not work during recording.

●The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress ( pg. 33).

●In the case of timer recordings, the B.E.S.T. system works before recording is initiated.

●Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-performed.

●Pressing the recorder’s 7 button while “bESt” is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording ( pg. 23).

ATTENTION

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7 and 4 on the remote control are pressed, or 7 on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps:

APress and hold 9 and press 7 to engage the Record Pause mode.

●The recorder then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters Record Pause mode.

BPress 4 to start recording.

If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF” ( pg. 47).

These two models are part of JVC's S-VHS lineup and represent the culmination of JVC's commitment to delivering high-quality audio and video recording and playback.

One of the standout features of both models is their S-VHS capability, which significantly enhances picture quality compared to standard VHS. The S-VHS format allows for recording at a higher resolution, resulting in sharper images and improved color fidelity. This makes the HR-S6950EU and HR-S6953EU ideal choices for those seeking impressive visual performance, whether recording home videos or capturing special events.

Both models come equipped with JVC's unique Super S-VHS ET (Enhanced Technology) function.

This dual functionality is especially attractive for users transitioning from traditional VHS to the superior S-VHS format.

Another notable characteristic of the HR-S6950EU and HR-S6953EU is their built-in digital noise reduction system.

The VHS recorders also incorporate a convenient timer function, allowing users to schedule recordings in advance. This is particularly useful for capturing television shows or special broadcasts without needing to be present when they air. Additionally, both models offer various playback controls, including slow motion and frame-by-frame advance, allowing users to meticulously review their recordings.

In terms of design, the HR-S6950EU and HR-S6953EU are user-friendly, featuring an intuitive control panel and easy-to-read display. The compact size of these models makes them easy to integrate into any home entertainment setup.

Overall, the JVC HR-S6950EU and HR-S6953EU reflect JVC's dedication to quality and innovation in the VHS recording market.
