Thank you for purchasing
this JVC BD-X200 DVD Recorder.
Main Features
Recording of DVD-R and DVD-RW (video mode only).
Composite video, YC separate, and DV signals are supported
as video inputs; furthermore, analog or DV signals are
supported as audio inputs.
A keyboard and mouse can be used as an alternative to front
panel buttons.
When the BD-X200 is connected to an RS-422A compatible
VCR, RS-422 control can be used to carry out synchronous
recording of the VCR’s video and audio to a DVD.
Synchronous recording of video and audio from a DV camera
or video player to a DVD can also be carried out.
The DV IN/OUT terminal can be used to record audio and
video from a non-linear editor to a DVD.
The title and chapter menus can be created either
automatically or manually.
This DVD recorder features a LAN terminal. Accordingly, two
of these recorders can be connected using LAN (CAT 5) cables
to perform master-to-receiver dubbing.
