Control Live TV
Here’s the amazing thing: because now you’re watching video
off the Hard Disc Drive, you can pause, rewind, or slow things
down so you never miss a moment. Hit the fast-forward
button during recorded programs to skip the parts you don't
want to see.
Chase Play
Picture this: you come home late, missing the first ten
minutes of a show you were looking forward to. With Chase
Play, you can back up and catch the beginning, while the
DVR-810H-S finishes recording to the end. You’ll never miss
your favorite shows again.
Burn It
Once you’ve stored TV shows and movies on your Hard Disc
Drive, you have lots of options. You can keep them on the
Hard Disc Drive for repeat viewing, or just watch them once
and delete them to free up space. Or, you can burn them
onto a DVD — either a DVD-R or DVD-RW — that you can
play on most players almost anywhere, even in your car or
on your laptop.
DVD-R or DVD-RW?
Favorite shows and one-of-a-kind home movies are good
examples of content you’d want to permanently archive onto
a DVD-R, so they can’t accidentally be erased. Or, use a
DVD-RW (content can be erased and re-written) to share
with friends and for temporary storage.
80 Hours of Programming
How much material will fit on an 80GB Hard Disc Drive or a
DVD? It depends upon the recording quality you select and
the type of programming. Here are the recording capacities
for each, by quality level:
Quality Level Recorder DVD
Extreme (Fine) 14 Hours 1 Hour
High (SP) 27 Hours 2 Hours
Medium (LP) 54 Hours 4 Hours
Basic (EP) 80 Hours 6 Hours
One Fast, Easy Drive
It’s easy to record material from the Hard Disc Drive onto
DVD. The DVR-810H-S features up to 15x recording speed, so
you can dub a 2-hour program to DVD in Basic EP Quality
mode in less than 10 minutes. After using a S-L-O-W VCR for
so long, you’re going to love DVD recording. You can even
record content to the Hard Disc Drive while dubbing different
content from the Hard Disc Drive to a DVD! Plus, DVD
recordings are made in Video Mode, so your newly recorded
discs will play in most DVD players.
Extreme Levels of Quality
Relax: once captured to the Hard Disc Drive, your programs
stay digital, with vastly superior detail, color accuracy, and
audio quality compared to videotape. To take it a step
farther, the DVR-810H-S provides an additional level of
recording quality, called "Extreme" (Fine), that is not offered
by even the best stand-alone DVR set-top boxes.
DCDI by Faroudja
When material originally shot on
video (as opposed to film) is
up-converted from standard definition
(480i) to enhanced definition quality
(480p), the process calls for some new video information to
be created. Overall, this “interpolation” greatly improves
picture quality, but during fast-paced programs such as pro
football and hockey it often causes unwanted jagged edges
(jaggies) along diagonal lines. The DVR-810H-S utilizes a
technique called “Directional Correlation De-Interlacing”, or
DCDI, a video mode algorithm that monitors edge
transitions and fills in any information gaps that cause the
jaggies. With DCDI, edges are smoother and more natural,
and the overall picture quality is improved.
Digital 3D Noise Reduction
The DVR-810H-S includes a sophisticated noise reduction
circuit which can achieve an amazing 6-10dB of noise
reduction, without introducing artifacts or decreasing
sharpness. You’ll experience a much cleaner picture that is
virtually free of noise.
