◆ 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-MV45 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-MV45 has no built-in tuner.

◆ Front Panel
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.

of a wired remote control unit. This is convenient if you need 
to control the unit from a distance. A wide range of functions 
are accessible.

Digital archiving onto DVD from existing analog tapes 
(e.g. S-VHS/VHS) is easy on the SR-MV45, making it ideal 
for educational use.
◆
Last function memory
The SR-MV45 memorizes the last function in its memory 
and resumes operation from that point. Even if the power 
is turned off at the end of the day, mode settings remain 
valid 
and will be automatically recreated, making this feature
especially
handy for use in professional video editing studios.
◆ Mode lock 
Simply pressing on the remote control enter button for 
more than 5 seconds will disable all operation keys to 
prevent inadvertent operation.
◆ Time counter display
The SR-MV45 displays time counter information, which 
is indispensable while editing or dubbing recordings, on 
both the DVD and S-VHS decks.
◆ i.LINK connection (DV input)
Signals from external DV sources and NLE systems can 
be recorded via the i.LINK Terminal.These signals are 
converted in real-time to an MPEG-2 signal for DVD and 
analog video signal for VHS.
