JVC DR-MV80B
$200.00
Released April, 2009
The Pros:Moves VHS tapes onto DVD easily with just a few button presses. Upconverts DVDs to near HD quality without any interpolation problems. VHS to DVD conversion reliable, seems to improve the quality somewhat.
The Cons:Recording from TV is awkward and requires a manual setup. Remote control's "Eject" button doesn't always work, need to use the front panel. DVD drive is noisy when reading scratched disks.
The JVC DR-MV80B is a DVD/VCR recorder announced by JVC on January 9th of 2009. It has tuner free recording using the JVC's Timer Link, a feature that allows the camera to record TV programs by connecting to a satellite or cable set-top box via an AV cable.

Once it is connected, the user picks the program using the box's electronic guide and timer function, the video camera senses the signal, powers up the recorder and starts recording. It automatically stops when the show is over. The JVC DR-MV80B includes component and S-Video outputs, composite outputs and inputs, and coaxial and optical outputs. It has VHS-to-DVD dubbing and has an 1080p upconversion through HDMI for both the VHS and the DVD content, meaning you can convert your non HDMI shows to a better quality. It has a front DV panel input to connect a camcorder and transfer the information to DVD or VHS.
