Recording and Playback Technologies
for High Resolution and Less Noise

1) Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor

• Time Base Corrector eliminates jitter
contained in analog input signals

• Frame Synchroniser corrects frame
crossover jitter and processes any deviant
frames.

• Motion Active Noise Reduction System
reduces the noise of moving pictures by
precisely detecting the motion. Ecoded images
— especially moving subjects — are free of
edge smear and image lag.

2) Super MPEG Post-Processor

• Block Noise Reduction Circuit reduces
annoying “block noise”.

outputs the original progressive data — a
movie on pre-recorded DVD, for example —
without converting to interlaced data, so there
is no quality loss.

Longer Recording with High Resolution
Pictures (DVD-RAM/DVD-RW VR Format)

The quality of images tends to degrade with
longer recordings, due to the trade-off between
reducing noise and maintaining resolution.
However, JVC provides a solution to this
problem. For example, in the 3-hour recording
mode (FR180), MPEG noise is reduced while
maintaining a 400-line horizontal resolution,
compared to conventional technology that
reduces the resolution to about 250 lines.

Library Database DVD Navigation and
Animated Thumbnail (DVD-RAM/DVD-RW

VR Format)

Information for up to 2,000 programs —
including their titles, disc numbers, dates of
recording, and more — can be memorized.
When you choose one, the player tells you
which disc to load. Once loaded, choosing
the right program on the disc is as easy as
clicking on a thumbnail image. It even
animates (the image moves!), complete with
sound, for sure selection.

Store and Archive Your Favorite
Content

The 250GB HDD allows a max. 473 hours of
recording and lets you easily transfer the
stored programs to DVD discs for archiving.
It is also convenient when you do not want to
miss any of your favorite TV programs while
away from home.

In addition, JVC's HDD automatically
activates Temporary Loop Recording when
the unit is turned on. This lets you "go back"

and watch or record a program you missed,
because it records TV programs (up to a
specified number of minutes/hours) in a
continuous loop.

Live Memory

While you're watching a broadcast in real­time, Live Memory is saving the program on
Hard Disk temporarily so a ringing door bell
or other interruption won't disrupt your TV
viewing enjoyment.

Simultaneous Recording/Playback

You can watch a program recorded on the
HDD, while recording another on HDD or
DVD. You can also watch a DVD, while
recording another on Hard Disk.

RetroActive Recording

If you like the TV show you're watching and
want to save it for reviewing, Live Memory
lets you “go back” and start recording it from
the beginning or from any previous points
during the show*. * Program (channel) currently being viewed.

Playlist-Based Editing

The Hard Disk’s flexibility allows you to edit scenes of
recorded programs as you like. Record a program on
the HDD, and you can change the order of scenes,
delete unwanted parts of a recording, and insert scenes
from other titles. A window shows the scene, and the
Preview and Retry functions ensure you won’t make a
mistake. Then, at the touch
of a button, they’re dubbed
over to a DVD. Up to 99
Playlists can be stored,
allowing you to set
maximum 99 scenes.

Freezeless Editing* for DVD Disc

(HDD➔DVD)

JVC’s advanced technologies allow
precise editing of HDD-recorded
content — with minimum unwanted
scenes left in, and without eliminating
scenes you want to keep.
The technologies also solve the
problem of image freeze for
DVD-dubbed footage, which is
often seen in pictures edited with
conventional recorders.

* Freezing may remain with materials dubbed at
high speed to DVD.

High-Speed Dubbing (HDD➔DVD)

Dubbing video contents from Hard Disk Drive
to DVD can be completed at an incredibly
high speed — up to 64 times the normal
speed*. A one-hour program can be copied
to a DVD disc in less than 1 minute.

* Possible when an FR480-mode-recorded program is
copied to a DVD-R disc compatible with 8x recording.

Bit-Rate Optimizer (Intelligent Dual­Pass Encode Dubbing System)

(HDD➔DVD)

DVDs recorded at higher bit rates offer
superior quality, but their capacity may be
insufficient for long programs. Most DVD
recorders handle this by reducing the overall
bit rate.

JVC’s innovative Bit-Rate Optimizer,
based on the Intelligent Dual-Pass Encode
Dubbing System, analyzes the content as it is

recorded on the HDD and then intelligently
optimizes the bit rates — low for simple
scenes, high for complicated scenes. This
provides the best picture quality, while still
fitting the entire program on the disc.

Resolution in Sound and Vision

NTSC Progressive Compatibility and
Digital Direct Progressive Scan Output

JVC’s DVD players provide smooth, sharp,
high-resolution images in NTSC progressive
format. Moreover, the Digital Direct
Progressive Scan Output delivers the NTSC­progressive pictures without converting the
original frames to the interlaced one when
viewing a movie. The result is a reduction of
conversion loss, which translates into natural,
smooth images.

192kHz/24-bit Audio D/A Converter

Combining 8-times oversampling/192kHz
with 24-bit resolution, the JVC DVD players
offer astounding sound quality with high
clarity and fidelity.

Track Adjust — For Noise-Free
Playback of Privately-Created Discs

Track Adjust is a JVC software innovation for
noise-free* playback of difficult discs. It
applies special signal processing to improve
tracking accuracy to playback uncentered,
scratched, or poorly-recorded discs —

problems often seen with privately created
DVDs. Three modes are available — Normal
for overall improvement, plus two modes
geared specifically for scratched or
uncentered discs. The last mode used for a
particular disc can be memorized by the Disc
Resume function (available for the last 30
loaded discs).

* “Noise” refers to block noise or picture freeze. The
effectiveness of noise reduction depends on the seriousness
of scratches, uncenteredness, or other problems with the
disc.

Integrated Digital
Terrestrial Receiver

The integrated digital terrestrial receiver is all
you need to enjoy full access to ATSC digital
terrestrial broadcasts, all the way from
standard definition (SD) to 1080i high
definition. Since the digital terrestrial receiver
is built in, you do not need an IEEE 1394
connection and an extra STB (for ATSC
broadcasts). The HM-DT100 receives all
forms of ATSC digital terrestrial programs
including high-definition broadcasts, records
them exactly “as they are” with no loss of
quality, and plays them back whenever you
want.

Single, Uncompressed,
Digital HDMI™
Connection with
Content Protection
(HDCP) Technology

Adopted by over 100
manufacturers, the digital
HDMI™ interface is already set to become
the standard of the future. It delivers
uncompressed digital video and audio signals
to your display, so there is no signal
deterioration. HDMI™ prevents any signal
loss by transferring video digitally, without
going through an analog interface or
performing unnecessary digital-to-analog
conversions, delivering a pristine signal that
produces lossless images identical to the
original. Not only does HDMI™ give you the
highest quality images, but also true-to-life
sound to intensify your home theater
experience.

Backed by major motion picture studios,
HDMI™ provides digital content that truly
reflects the filmmaker’s original vision. To
support secure one-way transfer of digital
content, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 feature
HDMI™ output with content protection
technology called HDCP.

Plus, HDMI™ also transfers video from
existing standard definition analog sources,
after conversion to progressive 480p digital
video for greatly improved image quality. And,
since this breakthrough technology’s single
cable handles both video and multi-channel
audio, it makes cabling complications a thing
of the past.

* Copy protected contents cannot be transferred through the

HDMI™ output to any device not equipped with an HDCP­compliant connector. Please be sure to connect to or via
HDCP-compliant devices.

** HDMI™ is compatible with DVI-D so an HDMI™ cable can

be connected to a DVI-D-compatible TV display using a
DVI conversion cable. However, please be sure to verify
that the source unit is HDCP-compliant.

*** The DVI-D cable does not carry audio signals.

HDTV Compatible MPEG-2 HD Decoder
and HDTV Component Output

In addition to HDMI™ digital-to-digital
connection, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5
also support analog connection. The
MPEG-2 HD Decoder converts recorded
MPEG-2 signals into Component output
signals (Y/Pb/Pr). Connect directly to any
HDTV or projector equipped with Component
input terminals to enjoy the full quality of
D-Theater™ software and other high­definition images.

MPEG-2 CODEC to Record Various
Sources Digitally

The standard definition MPEG-2 encoder
makes D-VHS digital recordings from NTSC
analog sources, as well as converting signals
from a connected MiniDV camcorder to
MPEG-2 and recording them on D-VHS.

Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor
Enhances Analog Signals for Digital
Recording

To record analog sources in high-quality
digital, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 use
JVC’s exclusive Super MPEG Encode Pre­Processor to eliminate the defects inherent in
analog signals and create new digital
recordings that actually appear to surpass the
original quality. Its Time Base Corrector (TBC)
eliminates jitter, Frame Synchronizer corrects
frame crossover jitter and processes any
deviant frames, and Motion Active Noise
Reduction circuit removes noise from both
still and moving parts of video pictures. The
decks digitally encode and record the now
pristine NTSC-compliant analog input signals,
free of image lag, smear and MPEG artifacts
such as mosquito noise.

5.1ch Dolby Digital Sound

The D-VHS decks record high­definition broadcasts complete with 5.1ch
surround sound. In addition, HDMI™ and the
optical digital audio output make it easy to
connect and enjoy outstanding audio
performance on your home theater sound
system.

Linear PCM Digital Audio Capability

Thanks to the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5’s
48kHz/16-bit linear PCM recording in either
HS or STD mode, you can record full quality
linear PCM digital sound from a MiniDV
camcorder connected via i.LINK. You can
also record high-quality soundtracks from
analog sources in this non-compressed
digital format to accompany the resulting
high-quality digital image. The PCM audio
data rate uses 1.6 Mbps out of the

28.2 Mbps HS and 14.1 Mbps STD modes.

i.LINK Terminals

IEEE 1394 (i.LINK) digital interface
terminals with DTCP* content protection
technology on the front and rear of the
HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 allow you to easily
connect with i.LINK compatible devices such
as a MiniDV or high-definition camcorders for
convenient digital-to-digital dubbing. You can
also connect the HM-DH5 with a Digital
Set-Top Box (STB) to transfer and record HD
and SD broadcast digital signals**.

* DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection) protects

digital content from unauthorized copying. Copy-protected
contents cannot be recorded via i.LINK terminals.
Connected digital devices must be DTCP-compatible to
playback copy-protected digital content.

** Service depends on whether the digital stream provided

by cable systems conforms to the ATSC format.

Full Spec HDTV Compatible

When it comes to HDTV recording, nothing
compares to JVC’s D-VHS. With a

28.2 Mbps HS mode that exceeds the
19 Mbps specification of ATSC MPEG-2 HD
broadcasting formats, D-VHS captures the
full HDTV signal with no data loss
whatsoever. And since a single D-VHS

With more than 400 lines of horizontal
resolution, Super VHS delivers +60% sharper
picture quality than conventional analog
video. Ideal for viewing on large-screen TVs
and making master tapes.

S-VHS ET

An innovation that puts higher quality within
everybody’s reach, this advanced function
lets you record Super VHS signals on the
more widely available VHS tapes**, so you
can enjoy +60% sharper picture quality at the
touch of a button.

* Only SP mode recording and playback is available for
Super VHS ET.
** JVC’s EHG (Extra High Grade) tapes recommended.
There are some S-VHS VCR models by JVC and other
manufacturers with which playback of an S-VHS ET
recorded tape is not possible.

Active Video Calibration

Active Video Calibration automatically judges
video head condition and calibrates tape
quality to optimize long-term picture
performance.

Super Picture Quality

Plug & Play*

Simply follow the instructions on the on­screen menu, and set-up starts automatically.
Automatic tuner setting, VCR Plus+ Guide
Channel setting, and clock setting greatly
simplify video deck installation. (Whether all
Plug & Play facilities are functional may differ
by region.)

* Where applicable.

SQPB (S-VHS Quasi Playback)

Allows playback of Super VHS* tapes with
regular VHS resolution.

* In SP mode.

Express Programming

Easy manual programming via a single row of
buttons on the remote.

Convenient & Easy Operation

Easy PC Connectivity and NLE
Compatibility
(MiniDV/S-VHS/VHS PC)

Simplifies getting your video footage to your
PC for non-linear editing (NLE), and once
you're done editing, getting the final result
back to video, whether MiniDV or Super
VHS/VHS, is equally easy. i.LINK (IEEE 1394
compliant) connectivity and tested
compatibility with many major NLE systems*
will put your editing suite into the digital age.

* For compatible systems, please consult an authorized JVC
dealer.

64-Program “EasyEdit”
(MiniDV ➞ S-VHS/VHS)

“EasyEdit” with Random Assemble Editing
lets you choose up to 8 segments at a time
on the MiniDV tape, and at the touch of a
button they’re automatically copied over to
S-VHS/VHS. And since up to 8 pre-set
programs can be stored in memory, this
function lets you keep the information of 64
segments (8 x 8) in the deck to make
additional copies by simply calling up the
program number.

Convenient MiniDV Features

One-Touch Dubbing
(MiniDV S-VHS/VHS)

If you just want a straight dub, let the
HR-DVS3 dub the contents of the MiniDV
tape over to S-VHS/VHS, or vice versa, at
the touch of a single button.

MiniDV Format

The HR-DVS3’s built-in MiniDV recorder
produces a high-resolution picture with over
500 lines of horizontal resolution, and
breathtaking colors with approx. 3 times the
bandwidth of conventional video.

HDMI™ Output (DVD)

HDMI™ transmits uncompressed digital video
and audio signals to your display delivering
the highest quality images and sound. This
cable handles both video and multi-channel
audio allowing for easy system setup.

Progressive Scan Output

When viewing a movie on pre-recorded DVD,
Progressive Scan Output lets the original
progressive data (film is inherently
progressive) be output without converting
to interlace data, so there is no quality loss
and the picture remains true to the original
film source.
