The SR-MV55US is the convenient way to make a smooth transition from tape to DVD media. Especially suited for use in orginizations, this product will reduce the space taken up by tapes and let you easily create a long-lasting DVD library. What's more, it gives you a choice of three DVD recording media: DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, and DVD-R. 

Simultaneous Recording from a single source to VCR and DVD decks

The Simultaneous Recording function can record programs on both DVD and VCR decks from the same input source. Additionally, it allows recordings from two different programs on two separate media.*

Auto full repeat discs can be made

The Auto Repeat function is very convenient when constant or repeated video playback is required such as when DVD discs are used for company receptions or storefront demos.

Live Memory and Live Check functions

Ideal for school track and field events, Live Memory function lets you playback scenes to check any performance. With the DVD-RAM's rewriting capability, video can be recorded from a camcorder to the DVD-RAM, enabling simultaneous recording and playback. Viewing missed scenes will not interrupt the recording. The Live Check function displays real-time images in a sub-window.

Super MPEG Processors

Progressive scan compatibility

To allow viewing of flicker-free, high-resolution pictures on a compatible TV, DVD video signals can be output as progressive signals via component connection. Conversely, S-VHS video signals can also be output as progressive signals via the DVD recording circuit during dubbing mode.

S-VHS digital technologies

The S-VHS deck on the SR-MV55 features several advanced digital technology features.

Time Base Corrector (TBC) removes jitter to produce a more stable picture even when old tapes are used.

Luminance (Y) and chroma (C) signals are separated precisely by 3D Digital Y/C Separation to suppress cross-color noise and dot-interference.

3D YNR/CNR improves the S/N ratio of luminance and chroma signals.

2MB frame memory for high-quality still pictures and slow motion.

Digital and analog audio

Dolby Digital 2ch and Linear PCM (XP mode) digital recording are enabled on the DVD-recorder, while the S-VHS deck can record in VHS Hi-Fi audio format.
