Nice Recorder,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DVD and Vhs Recorder/player Combo with Up-conversion (Electronics)
I am really impressed with this machine. All you have to know is three things when coppying a vhs tape to dvd recording . Initialize the blank dvd. Be in vcr mode when you press the dubbing button. And finalize from the "home" button in dvd mode after the recording is over and you are done.
You can feel the quality in this machine. It is also multi tasks rewinding and finalizing flawlessly. I think JVC is better than Panasonic for the money and the quality. Buy this. I just converted my entire vhs camcorder movie library twice in 1 day to dvd. Wow.

Very easy solution for VHS to DVD, and IT WORKS!,
This review is from: DVD and Vhs Recorder/player Combo with Up-conversion (Electronics)
I have converted over 50 VHS tapes of our family (having six children). I tried other methods which took a lot of time and had mediocre results. Considering the importance of the project (archiving and moving irreplaceable family memories to a new media format to prevent degradation and loss over time), I purchased the JVC DR-MV7S duplicator/player from Vanns. The choice was made carefully taking note of the dismal ratings on other similar machines costing much more. Vanns gave me the best price and prompt delivery. I was surprised that the machine worked as easily as it did out of the box with little reading.
The machine asks to have a new DVD disk initialized when inserted, that takes about a minute. Putting a tape in requires the stop button to be pressed. I make sure the tape is rewound. I use the remote to choose "Dubbing", "VCR>DVD", then I have to make the choice of time "1hr, 2hrs, 4hrs, or 6hrs" (this is an important step you must know the running time of the video (SP, LP, SLP, etc.). Then I just choose "Dubbing". After the machine is finished it rewinds the VHS tape and ejects it, creates an index for the DVD and shuts itself off. I have to turn the power on, eject the DVD, re-insert the DVD, go into the menu and choose "FINALIZE"; I was confused at first as to why my DVDs did not play in any other machine because I did not know that the disk had to be finalized in a separate step (there could be another way, but I have yet to find it). I start a copy before I go to work, before supper and before bedtime and am confident the machine will perform the task and turn itself off. I give my highest recommendation to this machine. I am very technical, but I do not have to understand much to use this machine. I give my hardiest endorsement of "[...] and the equipment maker "JVC".

A good choice for converting VHS tapes,

This review is from: DVD and Vhs Recorder/player Combo with Up-conversion (Electronics)
I purchased this primarily to convert 18 years of family VHS tapes to DVDs for preservation and later editing. I'd tried getting a tape into my PC by going through an external Dell analog-to-digital converter, and the results were horrible (terrible resolution; bad color). I then investigated specialty devices that are designed for doing the conversion, but they cost at least as much as this product, so it seemed worthwhile to give this a try.
In a word, the conversion worked very well once I figured out a few quirks. The manual's English is better than average, but plan to spend some time puzzling over instructions that appear complete, but aren't quite, and idiosyncrasies of the process that just seem arbitrary. Once I got through these problems, the process was easy and worked flawlessly on every tape. As a VHS recorder / player, the unit has worked well, too. It's not quite as easy to program as my Sony VHS recorder (which can be programmed even if the TV is turned off), but it's not rocket science. Playing DVDs is as straightforward as with any other DVD player. Regarding up-conversion of tapes to higher resolution playback, be aware that this requires using the HDMI connection to the TV. That's the way I have it set up, but I'm honestly not sure whether it's making a difference. The tapes certainly don't look worse, but is there an improvement? It's hard to know. Overall I am very satisfied and definitely would recommend this as a relatively inexpensive way to transfer VHS tapes onto DVDs.
