JVC announced a slew of new audio and video products yesterday, including the company’s first three-in-one video recorder player.
The DR-MX1S features a DVD burner, VHS deck and a 160GB hard drive allowing consumers a variety of recording and viewing options. All three functions can be used separately or the end user can record to DVD or tape a program stored on the hard drive, which features basic PVR functionality.
The DVD burner uses DVD-RAM and DVD-R/-RW media and JVC’s DVD Navigation software that can store information for about 2,000 recorded programs and it displays a thumbnail image of what is on the DVD for quick reference. The DR-MX1S also features JVC’s Super MPEG Pre and Post Processor that can boost image quality and a 1394 port.
The unit will ship in September with a $1,299 suggested retail price.
