Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JVC HRS5902U 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR, BlackCustomer Review: JVC not user friendly Summary: 1 StarsI wanted to replace an older VCR and so I bought this JVC HRS5902U based on some glowing reviews and rather impressive technical features. Needless to say words are cheap; experience is the best teacher. This is the most user unfriendly device I have ever encountered. I have to keep the manual on hand just to work through every major and minor quirk it throws at me. It seems to arbitraily decide what it is going to do when. It is frustrating to program because the program buttons jump rapidly in 30 minute intervals or they do not work at all. It does not have a visible tape counter; it always resets to SP after you turn it off so you always run out of tape; if set to time record you cannot stop it in midprogram. You have to unplug it. When you plug it in the auto channel programmer misses at least one channel. And for whatever reason it will start blinking odd little symbols meaning something or other but you cannot tell because you have to read throughthe whole manual again. The tape marking is a farce. I can just tell that the designers of this machine were looking more to impress their fellow engineers with their cleverness than they were trying to simplify life for the customer. Watch for it on Ebay.
Description of JVC HRS5902U 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR, BlackTopping the selection of new VHS models from JVC is the HR-S5902U, offering a flying erase head, audio dubbing option, insert editing, and glow key remote to feature set. The high-resolution S-VHS HR-S5902U comes loaded with everything from sophisticated features like insert editing and audio dubbing to conveniences like SVHS ET (Expansion Technology, which lets you record broad-bandwidth Super VHS signals on affordable standard-VHS tapes) and Child Lock (which keeps out "unauthorized" viewers from specific channels and time slots). The HR-S5902U's hi-fi, four-head design combines great sound, high quality, and great effects, including variable slow motion, frame advance, and variable-speed search. The recorder comes with gold-plated front audio/video jacks enabling easy access for connecting camcorders, video games, or an extra VCR. One-year, eight-event express programming and a full-function remote simplify scheduling and operation. Perfect for compiling the best segments of your home videos, the deck's insert editing feature uses a flying erase head to ensure seamless edits and smooth, invisible transitions from one scene to the next. You can even perform audio dubbing--adding a soundtrack after you've edited your video together. Other features include Active Video Calibration (which automatically judges head condition and tape quality to maximize the potential of the tape being used) and VCR Plus+ with cable-box control (which lets you program on the fly by entering the PlusCode numbers found in most TV listings--and the supplied "cable eye" controller will automatically switch channels on your cable box for you). Picture Control lets you change the VCR's four picture-technology settings: "Auto/Normal" enables the Active Video Calibration System; "Soft" reduces image coarseness when viewing overplayed tapes; "Edit" minimizes degradation during editing (recording and playback); and "Sharp" provides a clearer, sharper-edged pictures. JVC A/V Compu Link components like the HR-S5902U--when used in concert--will "power up" and switch to the correct input anytime you play a DVD, videotape, CD, cassette, or even when you simply want to watch television. When you are done, the whole system can also be powered down with a single touch.
