Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Do you have a lot of home movies on cassette that need to be edited and copied? Do you have a lot of shows that you tape regularly? Make your life easier with this dual-deck, 4-head VCR from GoVideo. With the DDV3110, you get all of the advantages of having two VCRs without the connection headaches, all in a component that isn't much bigger than a regular VCR. Each deck features 4-head recording to ensure superior picture and sound.

With two decks in one unit, you can now record up to 12 hours of programs at a time. You can schedule up to 16 shows in advance with the recording timer. You'll never be left hanging by a recording that cuts off too early--the DDV3110 offers a feature that automatically adjusts the tape speed while recording in timer mode, fitting the entire program onto the tape.

Skipping unwanted material is easier than ever with the DDV3110. The Commercial Advance feature automatically marks commercials while recording. When you play back the tape, the VCR will fast forward past the commercials. You can even opt to have a blue screen appear during the commercial skip, so you never have to see another ad. Although the DDV3110 can handle the process automatically, you retain the option to control the recording and playback yourself.

When dubbing tapes recorded with the Commercial Advance feature, the commercials will not be copied onto your edited tape. When using the commercial-free copy mode, you can record a show in deck one, and have the DDV3110 automatically create a cleaned-up dub copy in deck two.

When you are watching a prerecorded videocassette, you can jump straight to the movie with GoVideo's Movie Advance feature. The DDV3110 will prompt you to skip each or every preview at the beginning of the tape. The remote features a jog/shuttle dial that gives you even greater control over what you watch. Along with the automatic skip features, you can fast-forward and reverse with great precision at high speed or even frame by frame.

Home-movie makers will find a number of features on the DDV3110 that are perfect for creating an impressive final cut. The VCR allows you to create onscreen titles for your movies that can vary in length and onscreen time. With the automatic editing function, you can flag up to eight scenes that you want to use on your final copy. The DDV3110 will do all the work for you in the dubbing process. You can add new music or narration to your movie as well. Simply connect your audio source to the front or back audio/video inputs.

Setup is simple. Your available channels will automatically be set as soon as you turn on the DDV3110 for the first time. Composite-video outputs provide a quick connection from VCR to TV or to your home theater receiver. Front inputs allow for easy connections of camcorders and audio sources when you are editing tapes. An easy-to-use, onscreen menu lets you customize your setup by identifying the components plugged into the DDV3110.

1.0 out of 5 stars Twice as much to go wrong, December 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: GoVideo DDV3110 Dual Deck 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR (Electronics)
It's a nice concept. But on our unit, the left deck wouldn't track, so we couldn't watch rented movies from that side. And although the right deck played beautifully, it recorded only picture -- no sound.

Two defective decks in one box could be an extreme coincidence -- or it could indicate some problems with component quality.

2.0 out of 5 stars bad choice, May 28, 2003
By 
Darrell Short (Bath, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GoVideo DDV3110 Dual Deck 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR (Electronics)
I would be very careful before buying any Go-Video products, for when you have them for a few years and they need repair they are very hard to work with in getting them fixed. I have had 2 Go-Video Dual Deck VCR's and had to throw both of them away cause I couldn't get them fixed, even from Go-Video, they don't carry the replacement parts.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice VCR, April 6, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: GoVideo DDV3110 Dual Deck 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR (Electronics)
SonicBlue confirmed that some of their GoVideo DDV3120 Dual Deck 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR had some clock problems, but they were not aware of any clock problems on their DDV3110 model although some other reviews I read on both the DDV3110 and DDV3120 said they had clock problems on both models. I have had no problem with the clock (and the daylight savings works fine too) and everything else also works well except the commercial advance does not always work, and you can not skip commercials on old recordings that you make a new copy of with your GoVideo VCR. It's nice to be able to record something from the television while also being able to watch another video on the other VCR drive. Assuming your VCR has no clock problems, I would recommend this VCR.
