 S-VHS MODE

You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode or VHS

ON

 

mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.

 

 

OFF

 

When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with

 

 

S-VHS picture quality.

 

 

When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on S-VHS tapes with

 

 

VHS picture quality.

 

 

NOTES:

 

 

• S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings with horizontal

 

 

resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230 lines of resolution of

 

 

conventional VHS recordings. To achieve the highest quality picture we

 

 

recommended to record in S-VHS mode. (But remember that a conventional

 

 

VHS VCR without SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS

 

 

mode.)

 

 

• S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes. Recording on

 

 

VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode except when using S-VHS ET

 

 

mode ( pg. 27).

 

 

 AV COMPU-LINK

The REMOTE PAUSE/AV COMPULINK terminal on the rear panel can be used

ON

 

as either the REMOTE PAUSE terminal or the AV COMPULINK terminal.

 

 

OFF

 

When this function is set to “ON”, you can use the this terminal as the

 

 

AV COMPULINK terminal.

 

 

By connecting other JVC’s AV COMPULINK components (see the

 

 

diagram on page 43), including amplifiers (or receivers) and televisions,

 

 

one touch control of the audio and video components linked via their

 

 

AV COMPULINK connectors becomes possible.

 

 

For example: simply load a cassette in the VCR and press PLAY ( 3 ) and the

 

 

AV COMPULINK components automatically turn on, the TV’s AV mode is

 

 

selected and the VCR starts playback. (You do not have to press PLAY ( 3 ) if

 

 

the cassette’s record safety tab is removed.)

 

 

When this function is set to “OFF”, you can use this terminal as the

 

 

REMOTE PAUSE terminal. ( pg. 47)

 

 

NOTE:

 

 

Connection varies depending on the type of JVC TV you have. Refer to the TV’s

 

 

instruction manual when making this connection.

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.
