Overview

The JVC HR-XVC33U Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo brings DVD and VHS playback together in one compact device. On the DVD side, progressive-scan output delivers smooth, flicker-free images when connected to an HD or HD-ready television, while Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound outputs provide rich, immersive audio through a compatible home theater receiver. The player also handles MP3, WMA, and JPEG CDs, letting you enjoy digital music and photo slideshows without a separate device.

The VCR section plays standard VHS tapes with hi-fi stereo sound and includes Quasi S-VHS playback for viewing S-VHS recorded tapes at standard VHS resolution. A full-function, multi-brand remote control operates both the combo player and most major television brands, keeping your coffee table free of extra remotes. This is a renewed unit that has been inspected and tested for full functionality, making it a cost-effective way to maintain access to legacy media formats. Note that this player is designed for playback only and does not support recording to either VHS or DVD.

It supports Quasi S-VHS playback, which means it can play S-VHS recorded tapes but outputs them at standard VHS resolution rather than the higher S-VHS resolution.
The HR-XVC33U outputs Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound via its digital audio outputs when connected to a compatible receiver and speaker system.
