For those who want the convenience of DVD and VHS playback in a single unit, JVC offers the HR-XVC11B DVD/VCR combo. For recording TV programs to VHS, the deck includes JVC's Timer Link, a quick and easy solution for recording TV programs by connecting to a cable or satellite set-top box using an AV cable. The user selects the desired program using the set-top box electronic program guide and timer function. JVC's Timer Link feature senses the signal, automatically powers up the recorder and begins recording. Recording automatically stops and the recorder shuts off when the program ends. JVC research shows that the vast majority of set-top boxes come equipped with a timer. Other HR-XVC11B features include multi DVD (-R/RW and +R/RW) and JPEG playback, a coaxial digital output and AV analog input.
