This is kind of cool. Right now, the world is
making the transition from VCR tape to optical media. But, a lot of us have
plenty of tapes that we don't want to discard or abandon. Sharp is offering
the DV-RW200 DVD/VCR Combo Recorder as a versatile alternative to enable users
to enjoy either media, focusing particularly on people making new purchases and
on consumers replacing an existing VHS VCR.
Sharp Corporation announces the introduction into the
Japanese market of a DVD/VCR combination recorder. The new DV-RW200 is
equipped with three tuners'”a VHF/UHF tuner and an analog BS (broadcast
satellite) tuner for recording on DVD plus an additional VHF/UHF tuner for
recording on VHS videotape, enabling independent tuning and recording of
separate TV channels.
The DV-RW200 allows users to
simultaneously record two separate channels, one on DVD and the other on
videotape, even when the two programs are being broadcast at the same
time. In addition, this unit features Easy DVD Video Dubbing, a popular
feature in Sharp's predecessor model (DV-RW100), that allows easy
recording (dubbing) from videotape to DVD-RW/R and from DVD-RW/R to
videotape. And a DV Input Jack (i.LINK) provides a convenient,
high-resolution connection with digital video (DV)
cameras.
