Product Description
JVC DR-M10S records in the DVD-RAM and DVD-R/RW formats, and includes an array of technical innovations that ensure high picture quality and convenience features that make it easy to make the most of the recorder's versatility. It offers true multi-format compatibility on playback, with the ability to play the DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW formats, as well as CD, VCD, SVCD, JPEG and MP3 files.Convenience features include live memory, which allows fast forwarding, rewinding and slow replay during recording (DVD-RAM only), and DVD Navigation, which can accommodate information about 1,300 recorded programs, including disc number, title and other details, without loading a disc. Load the disc, and DVD Navigation displays a thumbnail of recorded programs so content can be easily identified, and the thumbnail image can be animated with sound when selected with the cursor.Other features include quick skip for skipping 30 seconds forward, instant/one-touch replay that replays the last seven seconds, natural reverse playback, and a multi-brand remote control. Connections include iLink; front and rear S-Video and composite inputs; component, S-Video and composite outputs; front audio input; and optical, digital coaxial and analog audio outputs.
Amazon.com Product Description
With its front-panel inputs, NTSC tuner, and multiformat recording and playback, JVC's DR-M10S DVD recorder/player is perfect for archiving home videos, "taping" TV shows, listening to music, and, of course, watching movies. The unit offers the ability to record to DVD-RAM, DVD-R, or to video-mode DVD-RW, letting you pick the format that's best-suited to a given application. As a player, it handles everything from DVD formats (including DVD+R/+RW) to VCD/SVCD to recordable CDs filled with MP3 music files and JPEG digital images. And, to put your VCR even further out to pasture, the unit comes with VCR Plus+ and a 1-month, 8-event scheduler to simplify advance recording. DVD-R is like a higher-capacity CD-R--and almost as widely playable. DVD-RW is rewriteable up to 1,000 times, and--like DVD-R--offers the widest compatibility among existing DVD players and computer drives. Rewriteable discs are superb for time shifting your TV viewing, since you can use the same disc week in and week out. DVD-RAM (DVD random-access memory) is a rewriteable format that uses magneto-optical (MO) technology to offer superb access times, making it great for on-disc non-linear editing. The DR-M10S lets you fast-forward, rewind, and play a DVD-RAM disc even as you're still recording a program in progress. Blank DVD media comes in 2 capacities: single-sided, 4.7 GB (holding about 17 times as much as a CD and around 2 hours of high-quality audio and video) and double-sided, 9.4 GB. The DR-M10S offers several technical features to boost image quality, including JVC's Super MPEG encode pre-processor, a 3-step process that takes place before MPEG-2 encoding of a given input signal. A time-base corrector eliminates jitter, a frame synchronizer provides frame normalization, and motion-active noise reduction provides a clearer image than do conventional frame-noise reduction techniques (such as 3D noise reduction). Super MPEG Post-Processor enhances playback image quality through block noise-reduction circuitry. Color DigiPure provides 3D noise reduction along with color and detail enhancement, and Hadamard noise reduction eliminates so-called mosquito noise. Conveniences include live memory, which allows fast forwarding, rewinding, and slow replay even during recording (DVD-RAM only), and DVD Navigation, which stores information for around 1,300 recorded programs. Navigation data includes disc number, title, and other details. Load a disc, and DVD Navigation will display a thumbnail of recorded programs to help you easily identify content. The thumbnail image can be animated with sound when selected with the cursor. Other features include quick skip for skipping 30 seconds forward, instant/one-touch replay that replays the last 7 seconds of a given program, natural reverse playback, and a multi-brand remote control. Connections include an i.Link (DV) input for direct digital connection with a compatible camcorder; front and rear S-Video and composite-video inputs with accompanying stereo analog audio inputs; video outputs for component-video, S-Video, and composite-video; and one each optical and coaxial digital-audio outputs for Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1-channel passthrough to a multichannel audio/video receiver and speaker system.

 Doesn't even work now October 6, 2007
I bought this dvd recorder just over 2 years ago & after having it for about a year, it started to freeze - Loading would flash on the unit screen & I usually could get it to turn off & reset if I held the open tray button, but about a week ago, my son & I was watching a dvd & it started flashing Loading again, with a brand new dvd in it. I thought I wasn't going to get it out, but fortunately I did. Held in the open tray button & got the dvd out, after closing it, it started to do it again, but this time, I cannot get it to stop flashing & it will not work at all now. This is very unfortunate because I thought JVC was supposed to be a great product. I will never buy a JVC product again.
 Frustrating LOADING Issue February 6, 2007
Three complaints:
1. The LOADING issue is a HUGE problem. Within the 90-day warranty, I experienced the problem and called JVC. They said that the unit had a recall and to send it in for a repair for free. JVC kindly repaired it and sent it back. Within a year, the SAME LOADING issue came back. I sent it in for a second time, and JVC repaired for free again.
2. I bought the unit to dub my home video VHS tapes and Digital 8 tapes to DVD-R's. I was able to do this but when I placed into my Media Center HP desktop, it did not recognize the format that JVC recorded the video in. I guess JVC has their own. This makes it difficult when trying to edit, pick and choose scenes from the JVC recorded DVD-R.
3. The JVC recorder has the options to insert chapters when recording video. However, after you have finished and you finalize the DVD, all of those chapters disappear and the unit automatically inserts chapters every 5 minutes. Not sure if this is a JVC thing or a general DVD recording thing.
LOADING Error January 29, 2007
I've battled with my JVC DR-M10S for a couple of years, sent it back to JVC for "upgrade" or whatever it does to fix the LOADING error, found that it worked O.K. after the fix, only to to have it crash once more to LOADING just yesterday. I, too, had to unplug it to stop the error, then plug it back in. Eventually, the disc ejected, but the LOADING error continued for a while. Then it powered off.
My "crime" may not have been a smudged disk; the disc was new. There's a 2-second minimum to edit in the middle of a selection (1/30 sec. min. at the beginning or end of a file); so, I adjusted my "IN" and "OUT" at one point to 2 seconds, and it crashed.
I find it strange that JVC does not explain WHY this happens nor does it suggest how to AVOID it. It just doesn't give a damn. That it is willing to fix it FREE says that it is an engineering bug that cannot be fixed without its re-engineering its entire circuit board or laser or some such big deal.
By the way, if you USE the Library Function, the fix will erase some of your hard-earned TITLES, THUMBNAILS, CATEGORIES, DISC NUMBERS, etc. I lost the first 34 Titles that I'd created.
It is tedious to enter this information in the first place because JVC does not provide, say, an infrared or USB "keyboard" option, but if you -- get this, now -- place the disc with the missing Library information back into the machine, you CAN re-register it and get back your lost Library data. However, it will assign a NEW disc number, the next in your series of entries. That is small consolation for all of the difficulty JVC has caused.
If anyone has help or a suggestion beyond the damning that I totally concur with in these one-star reviews, write me at ben_franklin@msn.com.
Good night, and good luck.
 Good function, questionable reliability January 3, 2007
This DVD player has been quite good when it works. We had to return it to JVC for repair within the first year but, to their credit, they did repair it free of charge.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! November 30, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This product worked perfectly for about one month. After that we could not use it due to it never turning on or off. Once it was powered up the display would read 'LOADING', after that you could'nt even turn it off without unplugging it. A real lemon!
