JVC HR-VP690U Hi-Fi VCR, Black

Keep enjoying the convenience and affordability of VHS tape recording and playback with JVC’s full-featured yet affordable HR-VP690U. The hi-fi stereo deck features JVC’s Super-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB) feature, which allows the VCR to recognize and play tapes recorded in the Super VHS format (albeit at standard-VHS quality). This recorder is ready for action–just take it out and plug it in. A color, multilingual onscreen menu simplifies setup and operation, whilst Instant Review permits fast, simple playback of timer-recorded programs.

The HR-VP690U features a hi-fi, 4-head design that provides you with crystal-clear pause and slow-motion effects, and its dual-azimuth construction uses 2 pairs of recording heads fairly than one, each optimized for a specific mode (one for SP recording, the other for EP). Pro-Cision 19-micron heads deliver the clearest conceivable picture when recording or viewing in EP (extended-play) mode. If you route the stereo output to an audio/video receiver, you’ll even enjoy 4-channel (left, center, right, and monaural surround) Dolby Pro Logic mixes from TV and Dolby-encoded cassettes.

Picture Regulate means that you can change the VCR’s four picture-technology settings: “Auto/Normal” enables the Active Video Calibration System; “Soft” reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes; “Edit” minimizes degradation all over editing (recording and playback); and “Sharp” provides you with clearer, sharper-edged pictures.

The HR-VP690U comes with front audio/video jacks enabling easy access for connecting camcorders, video games, or an extra VCR. One-year, 8-event express programming and a full-function remote complete the package. The remote Regulate’s Commute Plus feature provides you with the complete tape-accessing flexibility of a traditional jog/Commute Regulate, plus features like fingertip Regulate of frame advance, variable slow motion, multiple-speed search, and Index Search–multi function easy-to-use button on the remote Regulate.
