Product Description S-VHS, A/V Jacks, AD/Movie Advance, Auto head Cleaner Amazon.com This home-theater-ready VCR satisfies with its superior hi-fi stereo sound and Super VHS (S-VHS) video quality, as well as convenience features such as VCR Plus+ GOLD, Commercial Advance, and Movie Advance. This mid-priced VCR will appeal to home theater enthusiasts who are concerned about the space and size of their components. The Panasonic PV-S9670 is about the same width as standard audio components so it fits in with the typical home-theater system. This unit contains VCR Plus+ GOLD, which makes recording your favorite TV shows fairly simple. The technology works with broadcast, cable, and digital satellite systems and operates in conjunction with PlusCode numbers that are published in newspaper TV listings throughout the country. To record a program, enter in the PlusCode number via your remote control and the VCR timer is set. Another nice feature is Commercial Advance, which detects and marks the beginning and end points of commercials on your tape for recordings over 15 minutes in length. When you play back a Commercial Advance marked tape, the PV-S9670 automatically advances through taped commercial segments at high speed. This VCR also allows you to customize your channel captions so you can better identify which channel you are watching. For example, you can set the PV-S9670 to display text reading "CNN" or "ESPN" on your TV screen when you tune in to those channels. Spatializer audio processor technology further enhances the hi-fi stereo sound on this unit by creating a surround-sound effect using only two speakers. In addition, the PV-S9670 uses the S-VHS format, an upgrade to video picture quality over standard VHS players. S-VHS provides over 400 lines of resolution compared to 240 lines in VHS. With such an abundance of advanced features, we were impressed with the flexibility and affordability of this home-theater-quality VCR.
