Engage Satellite Auto Recording standby mode

Press REC LINK.

The VCR turns off automatically and the REC LINK lamp lights (Satellite Auto Recording standby mode).

When signals come into the VCR from the DBS receiver, the VCR starts recording (the REC LINK lamp blinks), and stops recording and goes off when signals stop coming in.

Each time you press the button, Satellite Auto Recording standby mode turns on and off. When it is off, the REC LINK lamp goes off.

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to turn on the DBS receiver before the program starts broadcasting; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the DBS receiver is turned on.

NOTES:

While the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode or after Satellite Auto Recording is finished, the VCR will not enter the timer recording standby mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 40)

If you turn off this VCR while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops.

Video Calibration ( pg. 40) does not work while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.

Auto Clock ( pg. 11) does not work while in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.

The VCR may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the program when Satellite Auto Recording method is used.

If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode while the DBS receiver is turned on, the VCR will not start Satellite Auto Recording even though the REC LINK lamp blinks. When you turn off and on the DBS receiver once again, the VCR starts recording.

If you have connected another component other than a DBS receiver (or cable box) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the connected component is turned on.

Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be performed at the same time.

If the REC LINK lamp does not light but blinks quickly in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (even though your DBS receiver is turned off), Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly.

If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” ( pg. 34) to timer-record a satellite program.

(Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.)

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.

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.
