Simultaneous Recording from a single source to VCR and DVD decks
If you ever come across a need to make recordings of a single source on both DVD disc and S-VHS tape simultaneously, the SR-MV55 has a solution. The Simultaneous Recording function can record programs on both DVD and VCR decks from the same input source. Additionally, it allows recordings from two different programs on two separate media.*
* The SR-MV55 has no built-in tuner.


Auto full repeat discs can be made
The Auto Repeat function is very convenient when constant or repeated video playback is required such as when DVD discs are used for company receptions or storefront demos.

Live Memory and Live Check functions
Ideal for school track and field events, Live Memory function lets you playback scenes to check any performance. With the DVD-RAM's rewriting capability, video can be recorded from a camcorder to the DVD-RAM, enabling simultaneous recording and playback. Viewing missed scenes will not interrupt the recording. The Live Check function displays real-time images in a sub-window.


Super MPEG Processors


Progressive scan compatibility
To allow viewing of flicker-free, high-resolution pictures on a compatible TV, DVD video signals can be output as progressive signals via component connection. Conversely, S-VHS video signals can also be output as progressive signals via the DVD recording circuit during dubbing mode.

S-VHS digital technologies
The S-VHS deck on the SR-MV55 features several advanced digital technology features.
  • Time Base Corrector (TBC) removes jitter to produce a more stable picture even when old tapes are used.
  • Luminance (Y) and chroma (C) signals are separated precisely by 3D Digital Y/C Separation to suppress cross-color noise and dot-interference.
  • 3D YNR/CNR improves the S/N ratio of luminance and chroma signals.
  • 2MB frame memory for high-quality still pictures and slow motion.

  • Digital and analog audio
    Dolby Digital 2ch and Linear PCM (XP mode) digital recording are enabled on the DVD-recorder, while the S-VHS deck can record in VHS Hi-Fi audio format.

    Crystal-clear playback
    Playback quality can be improved on multi-generation tapes or tapes created on different VCRs by using the Tape Level Up and Intelligent Picture functions. w Crystal-clear playback
