Has anyone bought one of these or seen any reviews on it? Looks interesting.. Thanks, Gerry

I've tried the DR-MV1 which was there combo unit. I believe this might be similar minus the VCR deck. Lordsmurf says that he just ordered one DR-M10SL so you might see some feedback from him.

Lordsmurf, I saw in another thread that you ordered one of these? Looks promising but I wish it was a +R/+RW recorder . I like the 5001 but it is limited in a lot of ways and I am looking around for something with more inputs on the back (at least two A/Vs) and Variable bitrate recording for those 2hr-2.5hr recordings.. My idea (that my wife doesn't know about of course ) is to use the 5001 strictly for tape xfer and a different one in my home entertainment center that can accept inputs from either of my Sat receivers and also cable..

Lordsmurf,
Whenever you have a chance, tell us results of your clinical trials with JVC DR-M10.
Hundreds of thanks in advance! -

This machine is better than sex!
Okay, maybe a bit much, but you get the idea.
This is the machine I've always wanted.
I'm running a bunch of test requests I've gotten and my own.
So far, in DVD-RW DVD-Video mode, this machine is as perfect in quality as the DR-MV1 combo, but without the VHS part taking up room.
The ONLY "flaw" I've noticed is that, much like my alarm clock, the bottom front right side of the unit emits a low magnetic field, so setting it directly on top of a tv set will discolor your picture (screws with the tv tubes). I put it there for testing in another room. Solution: don't put it on the tv directly, and don't use valuable floppy discs as a stand to hold it up!
I've not tested yet to see if DVD-RAM VRO mode is 480x480 like the DR-MV1. That was pointless, but since I find VRO mode pointless altogether, that will never really bother me. This thing loves my old 1x PVC, old Memorex 1x RITEK and new 2x TDK DVD-RW media. No problems so far.
The quality is easily as good as the Apex, easily better than the LiteOn. JVC has utilized the LSI chips to their peak performance, and these JVC MPEG pre-processors inside do quite well. Like other units, this one can get warm, but the fan keep the case almost fully cool. The only place I feel heat is on top of the DVD-RW/RAM drive itself.
This is a nice slim unit, very attractive. That's not something I look for in my equipment, but I do take notice. The remote on this JVC is self-explanatory much like the LiteOn is. It is not a major cluster-f like the combo unit.
I don't have any +R discs (quit using them, none of them as good as the -R media I now use), and I never finalize media in a DVD+RW recorder (can make IFO errors). An unfinished DVD+RW from the LiteOn is fine in the JVC. I have +R media from conversion projects I've done, and several played just fine in here.
I've got a lot of work to do this weekend, so I'll run tests in between really using the unit.
Crutchfield gave me some $20 coupons to give to new customers too. So if anybody is wanting to order this for $379.00 shipped 3-day, PM me for the coupon code.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

Lordsmurf - another happy customer
Quick question - my Panny has the fan too on the back but it appears to be thermostatically controlled. Is the JVC like that? -

lordsmurf,
Can you test if it records VBR. I tested Pioneer 220S from Wall Mart for the last two days (it went back to Wall Mart), and now I am testing Pioneer 210S with iLink from Costco (goes back to Costco tomorrow). Both units record pure CBR in all four preset and other 32 step modes. The only time 220S recorded true VBR was in Timer mode with AUTO recording mode.
I am also PMing you for coupon code. -

This unit comes preset with quite a few modes, and the FR for whatever suits your fancy.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

See my post in the thread about Pioneer 220S :

lordsmurf,
Can you test to see if you can record from PC directly to JVC via FireWire, like with Pioneer recorders?
Thanks. -
Lordsmurf: Is the TBC in the M10 as good as the one in the 9911 S-VHS VCR ? Is there still an advantage to using the 9911 for playing back an old VHS EP tape to the M10 ?
480x480 is what most DirecTV and Echostar video streams are encoded at -- with a bitrate close to 2 mbps. Most channels are also coded with a Harmonic box with two chips derived from the same LSI family that the 8600 belongs to (each chip essentially executes one "pass" with a latency between 1.5 to 2 seconds) . -

Lordsmurf:
I'm very interested in the DR-M10SL, but it would have to replace my current HT DVD player due to space limitations.
Currently using a Denon DVD-1600 which is known for its excellent progressive scan output and watching my movies on a 57" Sony RP Widescreen HD set.
1. Can you or anyone else give me some comments about the progressive picture quality on Hollywood movies using the DR-M10SL or the combo unit, and if so what size and type of TV set were you using to evaluate it?
2. Does does the DR-M10SL feature flex recording? (2hrs 10min, 3.5hrs, etc).
3. When using the MP3 feature do you get a graphical folder representation "on screen" of the MP3 files on a DVD or CD?
Thanks. -
Yes, it has FR more (flex recording). Just set your size and hit record.
Both the JVC and LiteOn units I have found to be excellent players, playing PAL discs that even my Cyberhome and Apex drives would puke out. I've had a certain show on discs for months, and only now have I been able to watch it! Very happy.
Anyway, it's under 25" tv set and the picture quality is great, though not as perfect as my Toshiba 2800 (gotta love those image and audio filters). The JVC does have some nice audio output filters and options.
Both the JVC and LiteOn are some of the most accurate images I've seen to date, playing both PAL and NTSC pretty much flawlessly. The JVC is especially good at maintaining perfect color saturation (both playing and recording).Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

Lord Smurf:
1. Does the DR-M10SL (or any DVD recorder) have any facility to crop the recorded size of the capture? (Like you can do with an ATI AIW)
I have some older VHS tapes that have a rather large overscan area at the bottom of the screen. (I know that TV sets have built in overscan of 5% or more)
2. Have you tried any DVD or CD MP3 playback? Do you get an on screen folder type representation of MP3 files on the disc?
Thanks. -
I put in a DVD-MP3 disc. It plays, but screensaver on tv, no display.
No recorder crops out video. In fact, most cards and capture software does either. ATI is rare for that.
Somebody asked what the menu looked like on a DVD recorded on here. Here's one: (remember, I never label, I use PC to edit and burn final disc)
Oddity: It makes chapters and a menu, but the JVC will not allow you to jump to them or show a menu. Weird. This is a DVD-RW, maye be why. Not tried a -R yet, my first will be on a small quickie project tonight.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

Lordsmurf:
Thanks for the responses.
I now have been fully bitten by the DVD recorder bug. I'm going to order a DR-M10SL from Crutchfield, sent you a PM requesting a $20 new customer coupon if you still have any.
Thanks. -

What -RW media do you reccomend?
I bought some Maxell -R's based on your sites info and my Liteon 812 PC drive seems to love them, hopefully the JVC does as well. Don't see as many recomendations for -RW.
I would like something I can get locally so I can return if needed, preferably 4X so I can use on the computer at Max speed if I want to.
My DR-M10SL is supposed to be here Friday, can't wait.
Thanks. -
My JVC DR-M10SL was delivered today at 2:30pm ..... 8)
Will test it tonight and make a 4 hours mode PQ comparison between this unit and Panny DMR-E60 -
I'm using new 2x TDK DVD-RW, my old 2001 Pioneer DVD-RW, and my old 2001 Memorex RITEKW DVD-RW media.
I would suggest TDK for new RW users.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

You can not send video from this unit into your PC. The DV connection is strictly an input even though the computer does control the JVC for play, ff, rew, stop, etc... -
