No Reason to Replace All
Your VHS Tapes
If you’re like most of us, you’ve
got quite a collection of movies -
the Hollywood variety, your kids’
G-rated movie collection, not to
mention all your home movies -
and they’re all on VHS. While DVD
is really exciting and makes movies
sound and look much better, who
wants all those movies you’ve
collected over the years to become
obsolete?
Now you can have your cake
and eat it, too - all in one space in
your entertainment center. Because
the Go-Video DVR4000 plays both
DVDs and VHS tapes in one
integrated system!
Watch a DVD or Listen to
Music, While You Record
You still need some way to tape
your TV shows, right? So the
DVR4000 comes with a top-of-the-
line VCR built right in, capable of
being “programmed” to record 16
events (twice as many as others) up
to a year in advance. And you can
watch a DVD (or listen to a music
CD!) while the VCR records.
Even More Features
The DVD player
contains features found
only on very expensive
DVD models, like
component connec-
tions, playback of
96KHz/24-Bit audio
CDs, zoom, playback of
DTS-encoded DVDs,
audio during 2x scan,
10-Bit Video Digital to
Analog Converter and 27MHz
Advanced Digital Filter.
And the VCR is a top-of-the-line,
4 head, Hi-Fi, MTS Stereo VCR with
many features not found on any
other VCR - such as Complete
Program Record™ (CPR) which
senses the end of your tape and
switches to slow play to make sure
you don’t miss the end of a recorded
TV show. As well as child lock which
disables the buttons on the front of
the unit completely (then you hide the
remote), glow in the dark
remote control buttons, index
search, blank search, date
time stamp, tape remaining
counter and auto clock set
for easy set-up. And yes,
unlike other brands, it will
record DVD to VHS - but
only if your DVD is not copy-
right-protected with
Macrovision.*
