Smart features for

Academic or Corporate Applications

Whether you’re a professional videographer or simply
looking to create a pro-grade home theater, the

recorder. If you already own a library of VHS or

Especially suited for use in educational institutions,
this product will reduce the space taken up by tapes
and let you easily create a long-lasting DVD library.
What’s more, it gives you a choice of three DVD
recording media: DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, and DVD-R.

SR-MV55 is the intelligent choice.

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 programson 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.

Advanced Technologies

◗ 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.

◗ Super MPEG Processors

◗ 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 multi­generation tapes or tapes created on
different VCRs by using the Tape Level Up
and Intelligent Picture functions.
