Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
With Go-Video's DDV9755 S-VHS hi-fi Dual-Deck VCR, a number of recording and playback options are at your disposal. You can watch a video while recording a favorite TV program, record from two sources simultaneously, and play two tapes consecutively with video-sequencing playback and record. Expand your home video library or make multiple copies of a single tape with EZ Copy one-touch duplicating, a process in which both decks communicate with one another. Tapes are cued, copied, rewound, and then ejected automatically without accidental reuse. Date/time stamping documents your recorded movies and programs. VCR Plus+ C3 simplifies conventional cable and television recording. The event timer can handle 16 different programs over a 365-day period. Quasi S-VHS allows you to record and play back S-VHS tapes.

With Q Sound, hi-fi audio is rapidly processed into a special signal that can be experienced over a standard pair of stereo speakers. Separation and depth are increased without compromising the original audio. The Go-Video DDV9755 also features audio dubbing, which records your own music on tape using the front microphone input. The Go-Video DDV9755 also copies surround sound and can record from four different sources.

New Duraheads facilitate longer life and greater reliability than ordinary video heads. The flying erase heads on the second deck remove noise bars between recorded segments and enhance visual effects such as slow and fast scan. Digital auto tracking also helps eliminate video imperfections. There is a jog shuttle on the illuminated multibrand remote for frame-accurate control and trick play. You can create your own home movies with eight-scene automatic editing. Front and rear audio-video inputs let you hook up a camcorder, video game system, or Web browser for added entertainment. V-chip technology lets parents monitor what their children watch.

Go-Video offers a warranty of a year on parts, 90 days on labor.

Watch one video while recording another. Record two different videotapes from two different sources at the same time. Easily duplicate home movies without having to hook up two separate VCRs. All of this... only with the Go-Video Dual-Deck from Sensory Science. Why settle for an ordinary VCR when you can have two in one!You've got boxes full of home VHS tapes just waiting to be edited together and copied for other family members. The Go-Video Dual-Deck allows you to add voice explanations or funny lines, add on-screen written titles, and/or change the order of up to 8 scenes automatically! Now you can easily make your own custom home movies.Place the tape you want to copy in Deck 1, place a blank tape in Deck 2. Then hit the Copy Tape Button located right on the front of your Dual-Deck VCR or on the top of your remote control. Copying couldn't possibly get any easier.In loop mode, your Go-Video Dual-Deck will keep playing - from Deck 1 to Deck 2 back to Deck 1 - indefinitely. Or choose Sequence to record (or play) from Deck 1 through to Deck 2 - after which the unit will stop, rewind, and turn itself off!This patented process ensures picture perfect copies every time without the hisses and poor picture quality you get with regular VCRs when you're copying from tape to tape. Great engineering is just part of the Sensory Science experience that you'll enjoy right in your living room.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best thing I've ever spent my money on!!!, August 5, 2000

By	"sprinklegenie" (Brentwood, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

My favorite feature of this vcr is the ability to edit videos. I made a project for school that had alot of screw-ups in it. I just used my Go-Video vcr to edit them. It makes the cuts in the video look seamless. You can video tape little Johnny's birthday party, and then later edit out the part when he starts to cry or those oh-so embarrassing moments... you know what I am talking about. I recorded a marathon of my favorite show wich was not available on video, and then later I cut out all of the commercials. As you can see this is my personal favorite feature of this vcr, this is an absolute must buy!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Vcr out there!, June 7, 2000

By	Sonia Guzman (Portage, Indiana) - See all my reviews

I love this VCR. I bought it about a month ago and I am still finding out all of the things it can do. It makes perfect copies so you can share vacation and family videos with everyone. It lets you program 2 tapes so you can be away from home and not miss a single tv program. I can't find anything not to like about this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for archiving, August 2, 2001

By	Jenn (Kokomo, Indiana) - See all my reviews

Everything about this deck is driven by the on screen menu, which comes with comprehensive documentation. As with any new toy, you'll need a little patience, but within a week you should have all the necessary tricks memorized. There are special settings that control tape quality - such as if your master tape is recorded in SP or EP and if audio is hi-fi or mono. S-Video is available with the purchase of an S- Video cable (not included) and only needs to be enabled, like everything else, through the on screen menu.

If you have a digital cable box, this until comes with a special infrared "mouse" for lack of a better word that plugs into the unit and can change channels on the cable box when you are not home. (It does not work with every brand of cable box.)

This unit has both front and back A/V connections. The recordings made by this deck usually result in a crystal clear freeze frame - excellent!

Some of the things this unit is perfect for:

Continuous recording with both decks - I recently recorded a 48 hour TV marathon with ease, only having to swap tapes every 12 hours.

Copying favorite movies or home videos for friends and family - the quality of picture produced with the go deck is far superior to hooking 2 VCR's together. Visually, the copy is often identical to the master tape.

Less tape swapping - if you're away from home, you can easily record different programs onto different tapes, by enabling each deck to record from the TV through the onscreen menu.

S-VHS - You can use both VHS and Super VHS (very high resolution) tapes with this deck.

Con: this particular unit is long and may not fit into every entertainment center. You should measure before purchasing it to avoid disappointment, if space is a concern. Go Video does offer stacked decks.

Macrovision -- these units no longer disable the macrovision signal (by law), so you can no longer make back up copies of your store purchased videos if they are macrovision coded.

This is an excellent product with tons of features that I'll probably never be curious enough to use, such as commercial editing through the programming of tape position numbers (e.g. edit out everything between 1h 12m 24sec - 1h 14m 07 sec), simultaneous recording, and recording from the tv while watching a seperate videotape. (sounds handy, don't it!)
