2) Super MPEG Post-Processor
The Block Noise Reduction circuit reduces annoying block noise caused by MPEG-2 compression. The Color DigiPure conducts 3D noise reduction and enhances the color and details to provide sharp yet natural pictures, while the Hadamard Noise Reduction system eliminates mosquito noise from any DVD you play. JVCs DVD recorders are able to output NTSC Progressive (480p) signals from any DVD being played. Motion Active Progressive Scan Output** generates a progressive scan signal from interlace sources, such as TV programs recorded on DVD. Digital Direct Progressive Scan Output outputs the original progressive data a movie on prerecorded DVD, for example without converting to interlace data, so there is no quality loss and the picture remains true to the original film source.
* Available functions may differ among products. ** The DVD+VHS Recorder Combos generate progressive scan signals from VHS sources, too. Progressive Scanning

Interlace Scanning

1) Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor
The Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor ensures superior quality of images when recording from analog sources, like the tuner or a connected video source, conducting effective noise reduction before MPEG-2 encoding. The 3-step process starts with the Time Base Corrector (TBC) which eliminates jitter contained in analog input signals. Then, the Frame Synchronizer corrects frame crossover jitter and processes any deviant frames. These two processes ensure that the video signals conform to the NTSC standard. Finally, the Motion Active Noise Reduction system reduces the noise of moving pictures by precisely detecting the motion and applying the algorithm between the moving pixels. This selective noise reduction ensures that encoded

Relief Recording

Suppose youve set the recording timer but forgotten to load a disc, or youve loaded a disc but its remaining blank space is insufficient for the program you intend to record. JVC recorders automatically detect the absence of a disc or a lack of space, and record the program on HDD instead from beginning to end.
While youre watching a broadcast in real-time, Live Memory is saving the program on Hard Disk temporarily so a ringing door bell or other interruptions wont disrupt your TV viewing enjoyment. You can: Pause Live TV, then resume watching where you left off, with nothing missed. One-Touch Replay to watch a scene again (7 seconds worth). Quick Skip to jump ahead 30 seconds per push. Time Skip to jump ahead or back to the next or previous quarter hour, half hour, or top of the hour in clock time. Live Slow and Search to watch live TV at 1/2, 1/4, or 1/16 speed.

Experience

Plasma-LCD from JVC
Considering JVCs experience in home video recording, its only natural that we have also developed a reputation as a leader in high definition flat panel television display.
A new flat panel LCD or Plasma display is equal parts performance and design. Youll marvel at the stunning picture quality provided by the high definition panels. LCD models are available with up to full 1920 x 1080 resolution, meaning they can display every pixel, or picture element, found in a full high definition signal. All new Plasma models this year are high definition as well. Most new models are powered by the next generation JVC exclusive D.I.S.T. (Digital Image Scaling Technology), which uses JVCs new 32-bit GENESSA chip. This single chip provides optimum scaling of any input signal to your LCD or Plasma display. The picture fits perfectly, with the highest possible resolution. Also part of D.I.S.T. are 5-Point Color Management and Dynamic Gamma Control. The new 5-Point Color Management insures perfect color, even with skin tones, while Dynamic Gamma makes sure the grayscale is correct and that detail is maintained in the darker/shadow portions of the picture. There are also a variety of other noise reduction and picture enhancement technologies. Whether your source is progressive scan DVD or true high definition, you will be impressed! JVC 40 LCD: LT-40X776 JVC provides the performance you need with the aesthetics you want. For both wall mount and traditional table top applications, youll admire the arc shape design elements and cool blue illumination which complement your other JVC components. Ease of operation is also paramount with JVC. The exclusive Smart Input simplifies connection to your other components, while the EZ Fill makes it simple to adjust any picture to fill the full screen, eliminating most letterbox bars if you choose. All new JVC widescreen LCDs & Plasmas are HD ready and ATSC HD Tuners are included on our new premium 26 & 32 sizes. ATSC tuners are standard on all of our new 37, 40, 42 & 50 displays.

* Copy protected contents cannot be transferred through the HDMI output to any device not equipped with an HDCPcompliant connector. Please be sure to connect to or via HDCP-compliant devices. ** HDMI is compatible with DVI-D so an HDMI cable can be connected to a DVI-D-compatible TV display using a DVI conversion cable. However, please be sure to verify that the source unit is HDCP-compliant. *** The DVI-D cable does not carry audio signals.
When it comes to HDTV recording, nothing compares to JVCs D-VHS. With a 28.2 Mbps HS mode that exceeds the 19 Mbps specification of ATSC MPEG-2 HD broadcasting formats, D-VHS captures the full HDTV signal with no data loss whatsoever. And since a single D-VHS DF-480 tape holds up to 50 gigabytes of data, all that picture and sound information can be recorded in its original, full-quality 1080i or 720p broadcast form for up to 4 hours. Of course, D-VHS also records up to 8 or even 24 hours of standard definition sources such as 480p* and 480i digital broadcasts in D-VHSs 14.1 Mbps STD and LS3 modes.
* Depending on the bit-rate, HS mode may be applicable.
deviant frames, and Motion Active Noise Reduction circuit removes noise from both still and moving parts of video pictures. The deck digitally encodes and records the now pristine NTSC-compliant analog input signals, free of image lag, smear and MPEG artifacts such as mosquito noise.
Digital 3D Y/C Separation
5.1ch Dolby Digital Sound
The D-VHS decks record high-definition broadcasts complete with 5.1ch surround sound. In addition, HDMI and the optical digital audio output makes it easy to connect and enjoy outstanding audio performance on your home theater sound system.
HDTV Compatible MPEG-2 HD Decoder and HDTV Component Output
In addition to HDMI digital-to-digital connection, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 also support analog connection. The MPEG-2 HD Decoder converts recorded MPEG-2 signals into Component output signals (Y/Pb/Pr). Connect directly to any HDTV or projector equipped with Component input terminals to enjoy the full quality of D-Theater software and other high-definition images.
Linear PCM Digital Audio Capability
Thanks to the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5s 48kHz/16-bit linear PCM recording in either HS or STD mode, you can record full quality linear PCM digital sound from a MiniDV camcorder connected via i.LINK. You can also record high-quality soundtracks from analog sources in this non-compressed digital format to accompany the resulting high-quality digital image. The PCM audio data rate uses 1.6 Mbps out of the 28.2 Mbps HS and 14.1 Mbps STD modes.

MPEG-2 CODEC to Record Various Sources Digitally
The standard definition MPEG-2 encoder makes D-VHS digital recordings from NTSC analog sources, as well as converting signals from a connected MiniDV camcorder to MPEG-2 and recording them on D-VHS.

i.LINK Terminals

IEEE 1394 (i.LINK) digital interface terminals with DTCP* content protection technology on the front and rear of the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 allow you to easily connect with i.LINK compatible devices such as a MiniDV or high-definition camcorders for convenient digital-to-digital dubbing. You can also connect the HM-DH5 with a Digital Set-Top Box (STB) to transfer and record HD and SD broadcast digital signals**.
* DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection) protects digital content from unauthorized copying. Copy-protected contents cannot be recorded via i.LINK terminals. Connected digital devices must be DTCP-compatible to playback copyprotected digital content. ** Service depends on whether the digital stream provided by cable systems conforms to the ATSC format.
Super MPEG Encode PreProcessor Enhances Analog Signals for Digital Recording
To record analog sources in high-quality digital, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5 use JVCs exclusive Super MPEG Encode PreProcessor to eliminate the defects inherent in analog signals and create new digital recordings that actually appear to surpass the original quality.

When you missed an important scene, you can view the scene easily. Press the ONETOUCH REPLAY button on the remote and the deck will rewind and play back scenes from 10 sec. (on DVD) and 7 sec. (on tape) before.
Because the data application of compression, chroma (color) resolution of the signal from a DVD is only one-quarter the luma (luminance) resolution. This causes a lack in detail and definition in images displayed on your TV. JVCs Adaptive Geometrical Chroma Mapping fully restores the original images quality before it was compressed. It works with RGB, S-video and composite signals, whether they are sources from film or video.
